I HOW TO KEEP DOWN TAXES.
Longmont, Colo., has a most successful electric light service, owned
by the city. Why should Ogden not have its own light system?
For Ogden to take over the lighting of the streets, business houses
and homes would not be a serious loss to the Utah Power & Light
company because that concern is a powerful organization with inter
ests all over the intermountain region, but it would be of great advan
tage to Ogden in the creating of another public utility by which to
help lessen the burden of taxation.
Frank Francis, who is a candidate for mayor, advocates the ac
quiring of a city municipal light plant, such as a distributing system,
and he is receiving strong support from those who have made a study
of the problem.
There is one big obstacle in the way and that is the long-term
blanket franchise voted to the Utah Power & Light company a few
years ago. But Longmont, Colorado, was confronted with a very sim
ilar handicap and the business men formed an organization to help
fight the city's battle, and they went into the courts and broke through
the barricades of monopoly and gained for Longmont the right to
erect and own its own light poles, string its own wires and distribute
the electric current to all the consumers who desired to be served.
As a result, a big part of the expenses of Longmont today are paid by
tjie revenues of the light set vice.
B. H. ROBERTS IS RIGHT.
"Editor Standard: Did B. H. Roberts, in his speech in the
Tabernacle, tell the truth when he said Great Britain had only one
vote in the council of the League of the Nations, and that Amer-
ica had an equal representation in the council ; that, in the as
sembly which is an advisory organization or ip the nature of a
deliberative body, Gteat Britain and her colonies had six votes
to one for America?"
That is correct. But if Great Britain had six votes to our one even
in the council, which decides great questions, America's interests
would be thoroughly safeguarded, as one of the big outstanding
features of the League is in Article 5, and follows:
"Except where otherwise expressly provided in this covenant, or
by the terms of the present treaty, decisions at any meeting of
the assembly or of the council shall require the agreement of all
the members of the League represented at the meeting."
In the treaty there is no contrary provision on final decisions, ex
I cept in the matter of procedure ov rules of order, which can be de
termined by a majority.
The council decides on the disarming of nations.
The council decides how the evil effects of manufacturing war ma
terial shall be controlled.
The council decides on the question of territorial aggression.
The council, if there is threat of war, shall be called together to act.
? The council is empowered to arbitrate disputes likely to lead to rup
ture. In the event of failure to carry out such an award, the council
shall propose what steps should be taken to give effect thereto.
The council is the court of last resort, although the council may
in any case under Article 15 refer the dispute to the assembly, but the
assembly cannot act without the concurrence of the council.
If a nation resorts to war, in disregard of its covenants, the council
shall RECOMMEND to the several governments the military forces
to be employed.

SHOULD BAPTIST PREACHERS STRIKE?
Editor Standard: I notice in the morning papers a statement
by Charles A. McAlpine of New York, a member of the national
committee of the "Northern Baptist Laymen," that unless they,
the Baptist clergymen, are granted higher salaries, that a "na
tionwide strike was possible or ohould be advocated.'
Mr. McAlpine also says that "unless ministers arc better com
pensated than milkmen, window cleaners and day laborers, there
would be a shortage of clergymen."
Let me say, in the first place, that I feel that Mr. McAlpine
has made a serious mistake in drawing an invidious comparison
between ministers and laboring men.
Remarks like that made by Mr. McAlpine, especially at this
time, when the world is torn and rent industrially as never be
fore, will not tend to bridge the gulf between the plow and the
pulpit, between the man who labors with his hands and the man
who works with his head.
The day labore. is iust as good and just as honoiable as the
preacher, if he does his work conscientiously.
The rail-splitter of today may be the president of tomorrow.
All hfe is sacred. Every vocation or trade or service of any
kind is noble and ordained of God.
If, there is any reason why a minister should be better com
pensated than the "milk man" or the "window cleaner" it is
only because his expenses may be greater.
We are living in a democracy where there is no place for the
"cast" system.
Mr. McAlpine's statement thai the average salary per annum
of the Baptist clergyman is not more than $800, may need some
modification. His statement is true, if we include all Baptist
ministers who are living on farms or doing some secular work.
Our pastors, who are giving full time to the ministry, are receiv
ing not less than $1,200 on the average. This is not sufficient,
I know, but ministers, above all men, must set an example of self
sacrifice. Of one thing am I very sure, they will never "strike."
Can anyone imagine Paul striking and giving up the ministry be
ceausc he did not get sufficient salary? Preposterous! When
the church did not suppoit him, he made tents.
Jesus Christ lived a life of absolute self-abnegation.
The true minister can not be driven from his mission. Let per
secution, or famine, or nakedness, or poverty come, he will hold
on his way. He knows he is called to minister to the souls of
men his ministry is spiritual, he seeks not for material reward
His reward is in a good conscience, in peace of mind, in daily
spiritual recompense as he, by the grace of God, endeavors to
lighten the heavy burdens of his fellowmen and to dry human
tears.
God pity the world, if the ministry should ever become mer
cenary! Our hope is that the men called of God to preach the
gospel, will never be disobedient to the heavenly vision.
(Signed) RAY PALMER,
Pastor First Baptist Church, Ogden.
!
Rev. Palmer's response to Mr. McAlpine is lofty in thought and most
creditable to the ministry. The most inspiring work of the ministers
of the gospel is that of self sacrifice, in which the men ordained give
freely of their talents in the service of humanity. One of Christianity's
great sustaining forces is the spirit of self-effacement with which so
many of its disciples cany on their missions, offering their labors and
asking nothing in return except the knowledge of doing good.
BOY SCOUT WIEDALS

Forty United States treasury medniF

to as many Boy Scouts at tho first Bi J:
.-ion of the Court of Honor of the ' -den
Council. The presentation v. as
made by Attorney C. A. Boyd. The
event took place at lh city council i
rooms in the city hall.
Twenty-nine of the medal awarded
were those won by Boy Scouts for pa
triotic service during the various Lib
erty loan drlvps, nine were for Vic- 1
torj Liberty loan campaign work and

Scoutmaster W. J. Wright gave the
pcout oath, after which Scout Execu
tive Goates presented the scouts en

boys standing at attention after salut-1
ing tho chairman.
Speaking to the scouts and others
I present, Commissioner King said in
part:
"This splendid group of young men
standing at attention is about to be
invested with the medals of honor
from the president and congress of
i the United States for patriotic service
during the great war. If the president
j I could be here in person to bestow
these medals he would gladly do so, for
he considers the work of the Buy
Scouts of America during the war as
Mrext only to the work done by their
cider brothers of the army and navy
"They have done their duty to their
I country and their flag and it is with
mixed feeling of pride and humility
that I stand here on this solemn oc
casion as a representative of the

Business Men of
London Note Strides I
Made by Americans;
COLOGNE, Aug. 25 British busi
ness men have taken notice of the
strides made by Americans in acquir
ing trade In Germany. At a meetmc
in Cologne recently of directors of the j
British Chamber of Commerce for i
Germany, C. Knott, of London, said: I
"America has more than 1,700
Chambers of Commerce in all parts of
ihe world, and these associated cham
bers some time ago sent a delegation
to Europe which visited Cologne and
Berlin and departed with German or-1
ders in fabulous amounts. The goods
are to be delivered at once on three j
years' credit. In this way the Qnited
States is securing the lion's share of
Germany's import trade. Such is the,
result of the co-operation of their i
Chambers of Commerce. I see no i
reason why British Chambers of Com- j
merce cannot employ such methods."

policy of the British liquor trade
Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, a
member of parliament, who was re;

of all sections of the trade had drawn
up a bill embodying such principles as
promotion of sobriety, restriction of
