J THE IIEKALD.KEPIMIUCAN STORY.
I The gicntcst oppoitunlty ever offurttl the state of Utah for
building good rondH nntl development of Us territory thereby la
I offeied through placing the state on a cash valuation basis for
iiHsesHment purposes, according to conclusions drawn by Dnvld
I Mattaon, Hccretan of state, from figures compiled In his office
showing how the cash alue syBtom has increased the bonding '
cnpncily of the state and of every county in the state. One effect
Of the cash value assessment plan has been, through the increase '
of valuations, to more than double the maximum of bonded Intlcbt- '
ednoss provided by the constitution for the state and the various '
! counties.
With the state on a cash value basis, state bonds may be issued '
'. to a maximum of $7,D8G,092 02 under the 191G valuation, and the '
; maximum Indebtedness which may be incurred by the various
'. counties reaches ?10,G'10,:i22.70 in the aggregate. The total bond- '
; ed indebtedness of the state is $2,800,000. Hondcd indebtedness
. of the counties, ho far as could be learned from reports received at
; iMattson'H office, totals $7J2,C00. Thus the counties may issue
. bonds aggregating almost $10,000,000 and the state can still bond ,
; Itself for approximately $5,000,000, making a total which may be (
. raised through bond Issues of approximately $15,000,000. i
; GREAT MILEAGE POSSIIU.C.
", "If the state and the various countius, working together on a ,
co-operative plan of highway construction, issue the bonds they
' are now empowered to authoiize, hundnds of miles of hard sur- 4
face loads could be built," says Mattson. '"Hie mibject is one that
' merits the closest consldeiatlon. It is now within our power to
open up the vast undeveloped areas of the state with adequate
' transportation facilities.
; "Take the Uintah Rasln, for Instance. With the bonded in-
. debtetlness the state and the various counties together inn) now
' incur, a hard surface road could be built into that part of the state
. nntl the transportation problem for that section would be solved. '
' Theie would be no need then for the construction of a railroad.
. With a permanent bard surface roatl to travel on, nuton.oblles
; .iiul n.otor trucks carrying passengers and freight could make the
trip to the Rasln on regular schedule. Millions of acres of land 4
that now lie idle in that part of the state would immediately be
brought under cultivation and the Increased valuation of property
; which would result would soon repay the state and counties Inter-
ested for their bonds.
'. "Another advantage is that the transportation companies
' would be formed with Utah capital. The money paid to them
! would stay in the state. Gasoline transpoi tation is here and It
; has come to stay. In some parts of this state gasoline vehicles
. carrying freight and pnssengers are in regular service and earning
' a profit for their owners oven In competition with railway lines.
', The state of Utah has today the finest kind of nn opportunity to
; take advantage of this new means of transportation to open up
its isolated valleys.
RIG ISSUES WITHIN REACH. 4
"With the state and counties working together we could now
Isauc about $15,000,000 worth of bonds. Figuring the cost at
. $10,000 a mile, that sum would build fifteen hundred miles of hard
' surface road, which would open to motor traffic every isolated
'. Bection of the state. Tho resulting Increase In assessed valuations "
; would immediately increase our assessed valuations on property "
. benefited b those roads to such an extent that our bonding capac-
; Ity would be moie than doubled and paying the interest on the '
. bonds would not even be a burden."
Mattson's table, showing the bonding capacity of the state
and the various counties, was compiled after he had carried out
! the changes in county valuations oidered by the state board of
; equalization. The clerk of each county was asked to report the
! amount of bonded Indebtedness of his county and nearly all re-
; hponded. Where no response was received the icport of that
! county made two years ago was used. Difference between the
outstanding bonded indebtedness and the maximum of authorized
; bonded Indebtedness represents the amount of bonds each county ,
may yet issue. t

! Mission of the Newspaper I
y v
& t
X Thii intciestlng paper on "The Mission of the Newspaper"
t was reatl by Roger F. Miller, editor of the Morristown Republican, j
V before the East Tennessee Press association in convention at y
V ' Cumberland Gap. Tcnn., last week: y
"The mission of the newspaper, In my opinion, is to preach J
progress to work continually, Intelligently, persistent y for the
r impiovcmcnt and development of the territory in vvhich or for X
v. hich it Is published. The newspaper that fails in this fails in its I
t nilssion nntl has no worthier excuse for existence than the laborer t
1 who w oiks merely for a living. j
y "We all agree concerning the power of the press. We are in- y
C clined at times to boast of tho fact that we mold public opinion. !
How often do we sit down to consider the question of how and A
where we arc directing public opinion? How many of us, I won- ,,
dcr, have a definite goal toward which we arc pointing, urging, J
t leading the people of our communities? Is this power of the press J
t given us to boost friends Into office, to build political machines, to y
y perpetuate partisanship, or is it placed In our hands for a higher y
y nnd better punwse, to promote Christianity, to improve the condi-
y tions of mnnkind, to build cities, communities, commonwealths, a
V nation? ... .... V
) "Hut, ou say, the newspaper Is a business enterprise, the
, newspaper profession the hardest worked and poorest paid, the !
t least appreciated and the most Imposed upon, and printing the
j only business excepted when merchants talk of the hoirors and y
y dangers of the mnll order Invasion. y
5t SHOl'LI) RE RUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
"The newspaper should be a business enterprise and should be ,
conducted nlong strictly modern and aggressive business lines. 4
Unfortunately too few of our newspaper men are leally business J
1 men and few lines of Industry could survive the methods that pre-
X vail in the aveiage small publishing plant. We are pool ly paid be-
' cause as a class we do not know what It costs us to tlo business.
y If wc find out ami determine to our satisfaction what wc should
charge in order to earn a reasonable profit we haven't the nerve
. to demand the price. So we sit In the Ixittom of the rut and growl X
and complain, ami spend our davs fighting the sheriff and the1 I
t, wolf from the door. j 1
"Appreciated? Well that depends upon the character and ex- 1
'j tent of the service wc have rendered. James G. Rlainc, informed v I
V by a friend that he was bitterly opposed by the people of ji certain I
district, said: 'Why, that Is strange. I don't remember to have I
oer done them a favor.' If jour service has been chiefly political X I
, favors to the ins or outs, jour labor has been In vain, for while t 1
, there are exceptions, the avernge politician lives only to call for J I
t moie. Rut, If ou have rendered worthwhile sei vice to mankind t
t and to your community, then appreciation will be joins in bounti- V
V ful supply nnd not lacking In any quality that satisfies.
"Yes, wc nre Imposed upon, hut find the man In any line of j.
i present day activity who is not imposed upon. True, we arc ex- ,
. peeled to run beautifully detailed wedding nccountH, extended an- JL
, nounccmcntH of home talent shows, interviews galore and lengthy I
t obituaries, furnish free copies to cvcrjlody concerned and then f
'X thank them for helping to 'fill up.' The business man who doesn't V
y believe In advertising asks for Tree wrltcup and the average sub-
y hcribcr, If left alone, will pay when he gets ready. Rut, have you
i over thought of the lady who examines every bolt of cloth In the 4
dt-y goods store, collects a handful of samples and trips gaily away .
. to shop another day? Or the fellow; who calls on the soda foun- '
t. tain clerk several times dally for water, but Indulges In profitable '
drinks only when the other fellow pays the bill? Or the young '
f man around town who adorns himself with swell spits nnd fine i
In,cn nnd -ej-VM the clothier to fight it out with father? Or the
& Indy who visits the grocery store to sample everything in flight e
i nnd reach, arid buy a five-cent box of matches? Or the economical 4:.
carpenter who expects the hardware man to donate the nails be-
K cause he 'only wants five or six ?' Or tho fellow who buys n pair '
t4 of Pnntft n"' Wkn the merchants to 'throw In' the auspenders? 1
