I OGDEN IS
GROWING.
Ogden continued to (TOW during
1921 it faces one of its best rear?
In 1922.
Such was the report and the predlc
tion that was made with unanimous, j
approval at the Ogden Chamber oi
Commerce annual meeting held Mon
3ny evening.
l"nited behind the development
lork of the city are hundreds of i'i
Jsncial. industrial and professional
men. retail and wholesale merchants
and other business men. They showed
at this annual meeting of t ho Ogden
I'hamber of Commerce not only their
confidence In Ogden's future but their '
realizaion of its present splendid con-1
Idltion. especially when compared wnn
other cities.
These loyal, aggressive Ogden citi
zens should have the support of hun
dreds of other Ogden business and
professional men in their campaign to j
continue Ogden's growth and to assure
Its constant prosperity. There is one,
medium essential to such development j
and back of It should be placed the ef j
fort of every one who has Ogden's
belt interests at heart that medium j
being the Ogden Chamber of Com
merce. Ogden will continue io grow, busi
ness will continue to be good, each j
business and professional man will be :
rewarded in increased business just
In euch measure as development ef- j
lorts fostered and sponsored by the
)gden Chamber of Commerce are ;
iven this support
It is time that every one who 16 be
ing and will be benefited by such
growth became enrolled as a member
of the Ogden Chamber of Commerce
und thus pay his or her share to
ward an essential business-building. I
community-developing enterprise that j
will pay excellent dividends to each
investor
I MORE MONEY.
Every one dreams of getting a leg ):
acy from a rich uncle. Such wind j
tails come to a few people. But not I
o many. The great majority can ne-li
r get ahead, never become financial
ly Independent, unless they save pa
tiently, persistently and with a sjs
tern. Man works for money. If he saves.'
money will work lor him.
Thrift is an absolute necessity, to I
provide comlorts for old age, for the
rainy day. for proud ion of family.
Ben Franklin was the greatest ad
ertlsing manager for thrift that ever
lived. So National Thrift Week ap- j
propriately begins Jannary 17. the an
niversary of Franklin's birth
It is a good time to take slock of !
one's ability to save money arid to de
vise plans for stimulating one's sav-:
ings instinct the only sure door to ,
comfort, independence and fortune. j
I COPPER MINES
TO REOPEN.
With the opening ot the copper
mines at Butte, Montana, ihe promise!
is made that the porphyry mines will
resume operations- This forecasts re- I
sumption of work at the plan: of the
Utah Copper company at Bingham.
Operating at only 50 per cent capa
iiy, the Utah Copper would give em-1
ployment to not less than 3000 men
The absorbing of that number of Idle
men would bring happiness to a great 1
multitude.
No one prospect offers more hope of
better times In the mountain states
than the reopening of the copper prop-
rtles. Much of the gloom which has
spread over the mining camps of the
west will be dispelled when ihe cop
per magnates give the word to start
operations.
I CITY BONDS AND
TAX EXEMPTIONS
H Members of congress and represen-
H .Mve, of public utilities and Indus
H trial corporations are disturbed over
H the fact that state and municipal
H bonds arc tax fTce and they have pro-
H posed a constitutional amendment pro-
H hiblting the further Issuance of tax-
H exempt securities.
H Before the house committee on ways
H and means, considering the subject.
H Secretary' Mellon and P. H. Gadsden,
n representative of the American Gas
H association, the National Electric as-
Hj soclatlon, and the American Raflway
H dissociation, presented arguments In fa
H' vor of the constitutional amendment.
H declaring that the favorable position
H of municipal securities has encour-
H aged extravagance by municipalities
H Mr. Gadsden said that the members
H it the American Gae association, the
EVERETT TRUE BY CONDC
N tional F.lectrie association and the
American Railway association require
many hundreds of millions annually
for extensions and improvements. He
said that before the war public utili
ties were able to borrow money on!
bond Issues at a rate of Interest aver
j aging one and one-fourth per cent
more than the average of municipal
securities, but now that large investors
will buy tax-exempt Issues, paying 5 :
per cent Interest in preference to se- j
curlties of public utilities paying S
per cent. The average rate now. he
said is 7.
The statement of Mr. Gadsden Is
true, but he fails to tell the whole
story When there Is a heavy slump
In industrials money either goes Into
hiding or is drawn back Into use by
the inviting safeguards thrown around
state and municipal Donds. Money
paid for municipal bonas immediately
begins to circulate througn all avenues
i of industry The gas. the electric and
the railway people receive their due
'proportion Of the benefits of the new i
i flow of mony and are sustained. All in
! dustry profits.
It, during periods oi great industrial
upset, cities were not In position io
make heavy expenditures on public
works, the pendulum of adversity
would swing more violently and the
shock of financial upiet would be mor.
destructh e.
Money derived irom municipal bonds
Is today helping to keep up the hopes
and courage of the American people
There are abuses of bonding power
and at times extravagance, but that
abuse adheres to every power and
privilege granted to man
GASOLINE FREIGHT
RATES REDUCED
Freight rates on gasoline from the
mldcontluent oil fields, und from Call
fornla and Wyoming to Ogden have
been declared too high and ordered re
duccd 24 to 33 cents per hundred
pound-
This reductiou should cause lower
rates on gasoline immediately to take
elfect in Utah.
Instead of paying ?1.26 per hundred
pounds on gasoline from Kansas and
Oklahoma, the rate will be $1 and from
California the rate will be reduced
from $1 05 to 75 cents
As soon as the new order is in oper
atlon, the present high prices in Og
den should be scaled down.
Now if the interstate commerce
commission will follow up this good
work with further reductions in Other
freight rates, the intermountain coun
try will begin to crawl out of ih de
pression. oo
MARRIAGE.
The Bolsheviks tinkered tour years
with Russia's marriage and divorce
laws. Family ties becamo so loose
that divorces could be bought for the
equivalent of 1G cents, and practically
all restrictions were removed from
i marriage.
The pendulum swings back. Regula
tions are tightened. Divorce and mar
riage statistics are returning to nor
mal, say latest reports from Russia,
j No government or social philosophy
Is powerful enough to break up the
.home as an Institution
; BUCKET SHOPS
The editor or the Magazine of Wall
Street is conducting a campaign
against "the bucket shop evil." Amen'
i say all of us.
But neither regulation nor extinc
tion will end the bucket-shop evil.
The real problem is the suckers
who patronize the bucket shops. Take
the ticker-office from them and they

THE DISP1 I I
The controversy between miners and
