I A NONPARTISAN COMMISSION
Al meeting f the commercial clubs and civic bodies of Dtah,
in Sail Lake on Tuesday, the question of hoi besl t maintain the
roads of the . t ; 1 1 was up for discussion mid, as a result, those prea
'nt voted in favor nf trtkinu' tin' state highway commission out "!
politics bj placing the supervision in the hands f a nonpartisan
board composed oi technical!) fitted nu n.
A number i resolutions were adopted two "t which follow!
"Whereas, Ii 1 the belief "1 this convention thai the
present system of state highway commission is wrong in
principle because it means .1 complete upheaval of the stair
highway department al evcrj change of administration, re
suiting in enormous loss t time, energy and funds bj plac
ing men withoul experience and entirely out of touch with
state high w ay plans in charge and control of the state's
liiuhwav system and thai ii makes possibli the building up
pf a political machine through tin expenditure t' 1 n r jji
Mims of public funds for labor and material, with result'
ant loss tn highway building and maintenance . therefore,
be it
"Resolved, Thai it the desire f this convention thai
the next sessl it the legislature enact ;i iicv stste highway
law. placing the construction and maintenance of all siat
highways under control "i a state highwaj commission
which shall be nonpartisan, composed of men especially iit
tcfl for this work, and each for s term of years that a ma
jority of such commission shall always be holdover members,
su ih1 plans of ilu' commission shall continue without inter
rupt inn J eai alter year
This move is a commendable 'ne. The highway commission
should he free from all suspicion "I b plaj t politics t present
our roads arc costing as high as $35,00Q a mile, which is almost pro
hibitive. By the naming of experts on the commission, this cost
should he greatly reduced by the better organization which would
he brought about, due in part to the working to a plan over a longer
period of time than is possible under political changes.
The selection of the commission should be bj civil service oxami
nation.
ITHE CLOWN IN THE SCHOOL
Over in Prance, the American health workers were confronted
with the serious problem of how-to eotitrol tuberculosis which, dur
Ulg the war spread ut a rapid rale. At the clpae "I the conflict,
clever Americans decided thai one of the must effective ways to
reach the children was to employ some form of amusement and so
they organized a Punch and Jiidj mow and went to the schools,
where they entertained the youngsters with dialogue, the subjecl of
which was the rule of health from dangerous microbes and bacteria.
This method, with variation, bus been adopted in this country
and now hygiene lessons arc being conveyed tn the minds of children
by clowns.
Yesterday, in Salt Lake City, the national health clown, visited
3000 children in the schools, and his ippearau.ee must have been an
occasion of joy, according to the following account of what took
place :
Previous arrangements had been made for the appear
ance of the clown at each school, ami promptly on the minute
the funny little man. accompanied by tin animated germ,
an enormous toothbrush and a market basket full ol vege
tables, made hi appearance before the spellbouud group of
youngsters. Within two minutes he was the personal friend
of each kiddie. When he was whisked away at the end Oi
each performance l Supt. George N Child, who had ar
ranged his itinerary, he left an enchanted audience, the
members of which hated to sec their new friend go.
Chow-Chow, this famous (down, undoubtedly has been invited to
the schools of Ogden If In has not, he should be.
These health Lessons in s richly humorous grb, arc deeplj im
pressed on the child mind and, of necessity, must do much good In
Prance direct benefits were derived and nol duly 'he children, bul
the older folk, took home the full meaning of the meslage which
Was delivered.
I PRESIDENT IS DOOMED.
There h 0 strongly conveyed hint in one of the dispatches from
Washington thHl President Wilson is far from full restoration to
health, in faet, is a confirmed invalid. It is said the chief mapis
1 rate's friends are urging him to resign his of fit c immediately 1:1
the event of Senator Harding b election It is related that the presi
dent has been unable to make any appearance in public whatever
without the aid Of .1 wheel hair Though his physicians are an
nouncing continued improvement, there remains an element of doubt
about the possibility of his ability to "go through"' the more or Lest
active features of the inaugural ceremony.
Regardless of political bias, sincere fegrcl will be expressed
1 hat the president has been overwhelmed by reason of the great and
overpowering Btrain be placed on himself during the war and in tin
days of world readjustment WoodrOW Wilson has labored ha
lew men. in doing his duty in the light in whieh he snw it. Let US
hope the gloom which encompasses him in his declining days ma
be dissipated and his hours be given over to pleasing repose in con
" temptation 1' the high station he has occupied ill the irmsi trying
period of world upset.
I PRICES ARE DROPPING
I Willi the drop in prices in the big manufacturing centers, whole
i salcrs, who have seen the wisdom of scaling down quotations are
f warning retailers to cut down their prices without further delay in
j order to avoid a crisis later on, and many retailers in parts of the
I country are profiting by the adviec and marking down their goods in
1 keeping with the reductions made bj the manufaeturers.
f The unmistakable tendency of prices is in the direction of a
I lower level, and dealers who are wide awake to the drift in busi-
1 ness. are accepting their reduced margin, and at times even losses.
1 and are Proceeding to readjust their affairs to the new conditions.
T This reduction in necessities r,f life is having a calming effect in
I industrial (piarters ami there is lo.s unrest 111 labor circles than was
I manifested last year and early last spring and summer.
1 The country, al -last is settling down to something approachmc
Jj normal, and confidence is being more firmly established.
1 THE CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE
2 Ohio seems to be the center of much of the excellence of the
M United States. It early was designated as the home of presidents
'M and is about to be assured another name in the list of im perishables
m But in certain circles, which include those who on Saturdays
1 meet on the back lots, the greatest achievement in the name of Ohio
M is now being enacted under most favorable conditions. The world's
M championship in baseball is being decided and Cleveland, Ohio, gives
m promise of winning. There are more boys in this country who, given
m their choice, would decide in favor of their home town winning the
m pennant in the world's series than would prefer to have Ihe prcsi
M 'lency accredited to their slate and 1 his holds true, notwithstanding
J ihe stigma which 18 upon a number of the stars of the great Ameri
