tions designed to raise new taxes

sion in the budget of $4,000, ,000I

fore carried by special taxes, and
$12,000.000 caused by abandoning
the use of motor-vehicle revenues

Two legislative bills are being
drafted by Governor Herbert

MAGISTRATES CURBED
A central magistrates court, or
courts for each county, would be
created under provisions of one
of the bills being drafted and
would provide salaries for a Ger.

This measure would strip all but
100 of the present 370 justices of
their judicial powers. except for
fixing bail and holding prisoners

UP TO VOTERS
The second proposal being
drafted-a constitutional amend
ment-would abolish the positions
held by those with reduced judic

of magistrates to be appointed by
the governor.
In event the second proposal i:
approved by the present session
of the State general assembly, il
will be placed before the voters II

Happenings that affect the Din.

Welfare.

Big question in most minds to-
day might be phrased like this
How is the European war going
to affect me as an individual
as I worker, and as a factor in
our society"
Lee answer to that must natur-
ally vary with the work you do
the way you earn your living, in
what section of the country you
live, and what your station in life
is. And the hazards of forecastine
at t":s early stage are obvious.
But going by the experience OF
the past. it is the safest bet
imaginable that the average man
and woman is going to be affect
ed by the European explosion.
and n certain definite ways.
FIRST, war is almost certain to
have an influence on the cost of
living in this country-and an
unf2 vorable influence, looking at
it from the point of view of the
householder who has to paw the
bills. However, there is no reason
for believing, as thousands of peo-
pie apparently did in the first
days of the struggle, that prices
are due for a prolonged trip to
the economic stratosphere. All
over the country people rushed
into stores to lay in heavy sup
plies of sugar, -four and other
staples. AS result, many locali-
ties reported themselves practic.
ally sold out of these commodi-
tie. Stores were forced to ration
dwindling stocks. This was panic
buying, which naturally created
a highly artificial price situation.
Prices Immediately scared to
completely unreasonable levels
from which, at this writing, they
have begun to drop.
The truth is that we have, and
have long had. a heavy surplus of
most commodities. Sugar stocks
on nand recently touched an all
time high. This years world
wheat crop was the greatest on
record, and the L. S. crop, while
it did not set a record for us. was
very large. We have an excess of
flour in storage. Don't forget that
the government has actually been
paying out money in export sub
sides in an effort to find a market
for come of these surplus commo-
dities.
AS a result, even with heavy

sell AS many as possible in order
that we may enjoy the success
tina, we do and should expect.
Congratulations
