"COMMON HORSE SENSE"
Speaking before the Utah Bankers Association re
cently, W. M. Jeffers, President of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, made some very timely remarks oil
the relations of government, business and the individ
ual today. In part, he said: >?
"You men in the banking business are meeting tfie
same sort of competition as are railroads ? that is, infil
tration of government in your business. We have over
emphasized government and ever since there has been
too much emphasis on reform and too little on recovery.
Let us have less government in business and more busi
ness in government, and more intelligence all around.
"We aren't going to solve the problems of this coun
try by discussing the mechanics of banking; rather, we
are going to solve them by good old-fashioned methods
of thinking.
"First of all, we. peed a restoratioh of confidence.
Confidence -in our government. Confidence in each
other. Restoration of confidence in the fellow we see
on the street.
"We are not going to have anything that even ap
proaches normalcy in this country so long as we have
12,000,000 men out of work. That only means addition
al taxes. Those millions of men must go back on pri
vate payrolls. The way to get them 1 a^k is for practi
cal men, intelligent men, to insist on Ik ing heard in sea
Bon and out of season.
"There has been too much pulling of punches in this
country during the last few years . . . you mustn't say
this or you mustn't say that because it doesn't conform
to the thinking of the summit in this country. What
we sorely need is . . . less technique and more good old
common horse sense.
"The balance of power in this republic *st ill eats in
the kitchen. You can do all the talking you want to
about all the millions in gold reserves and what to do
with them, but keep in mind that in the final analysis the
people who vote will have the kind of government they
think they want. So it is our job to convince the fel
low on the street that after all our present form of gov
ernment is the right form."

SEVEN RULES FOR SAFETY
The outstanding fire preventioh authority of the na
tion has issued a set of seven fire prevention rules which,
intelligently observed, would go a long way toward
keeping the fire demon under control.
, .1. Use electricity safely. That means that all elec
tric wiring and equipment should be installed in accord
ance with the National Electrical Code, and that .repair-,
ing and installation should be done by an expert work
man. Amateur electric work is one of fire's best friends.
2. Smoke in safe places only. That goes for your .
home, your office, the factory in which you work, for the
outdoors and everywhere else. Carelessness with match
es and smoking materials destroys untold millions of
dollars worth of property yearly.
3. Kemember that great fires were small fires to start
with. Proper building construction, plus good fire pro
tection, would make it possible to prevent almost any
fire from seriously spreading.
4. Fire breeds in oily waste ? keep all such waste in a
closed metal container.
5. Carelessness and ignorance are often the cause 'of
explosive fires. Here is a rule especially applicable to
workmen in industry, who should thoroughly under
stand the possible fire dangers involved in their partic
ular jobs.
6. In many factories and places of business special
fire hazards exist, which require unusual precaution
and vigilance.
7. Cleanliness is a great aid to fire prevention. Keep
your basement, garage, attic and closets clear of litter.
Every one of those rules is simple ? all can be easily
observed. Observing them may save your home or bus
iness ? and, infinitely more important, human lives.
