With Utah Taxpayers' association added to the already large list of groups actively working for the project, zealous advocates of the plan for the capitol city were viewing as high as a three-to-one majority. However, Prove River Water Users association officials indicated they would be very well satisfied if Salt Lake City went, say, just two-to-one for the plan. Locally, Utah Lake Distributing company is all set for 15,200 acre feet of water according to week's developments with President Abel John Evans of Lehi and Secretary R. J. Murdock of Provo authorized to sign subscription contracts.

Saturday no word had yet been received from South Kamas and Washington Irrigation companies i-elative to their suggested action for Deer Creek water. Orem, with a few legal points to alleviate before formal signing, is ready for its allotment. Pleasant Grove-Lindon metropolitan water board officials will call a vote there as soon as favorable voting in Salt Lake City is assured. They point that with particular regard for Lindon, the aqueduct is practically a necessity for them. Salt Lake City, they have found, will stand ready to aid them get water through he aqueduct if the capitolites pass favorably on the project.

Note: The Brass Ring, "good for one free ride on The Washington Merry Go Round," is hereby awarded to Herbert Putnam, the Librarian of Congress), WASHINGTON Across the Plaza from the Capitol stands an antiquated pile of stone which probably merits the boast of being the "greatest library in the woiid." On its shelves are more than five million books and pamphlets, several million manuscripts, more than a million maps, a million pieces of music and more than half a million prints. Through its somber marble every day pass hundreds of tourists. They gaze at the great gilded dome, stand in rev- before the guarded glass case holding the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

But what they do not see is the tyranny, the inefficiency and medieval disciplinary system which marks this, the world's greatest library. From this library 50,000 books have been stolen, and in its musty stack-rooms toils a sort of chain gang of young men, punished for discontent by being exiled to the task of stacking books at bare subsistence wages. And all through the reading- room and alcoves exists subrosa rebellion against the tyrant of the library. The gentleman in question is Herbert Putnam, librarian of congress for 38 years, who must be given credit for having built the library, in his earlier years, into a great institution. But now, at the age of 76, he has passed his usefulness.

(U.R) A poll disclosed today that more than one-third of the senate favors immediate revision of the undistributed profits tax. It stimulated leaders of the aid-to-business bloc to broaden their demands for legislation intended to stem the current business recession. Leaders of the 'bloc added two to lessen labor strife and to relax federal regulation of their goal of tax revision. Senators Josiah W. Bailey, N.

and Frederick Steiwer, sponsored these new proposals. Bailey, declaring that factors in addition to the profits tax had caused the business slump, called for congressional action to end the strife among the rival unions of the A. F. of L. and the C.

I. O. and to prevent illegal strikes. Labor Situation Steiwer said that the labor situation in the west had been one of the important factors in hindering business and that action should be taken to force unions to accept adjudication of their quarrels.
