The Utah State Auditor reports deficits avoided for 1915–16 but cautions against excessive appropriations beyond revenue estimates. He urges strict economy, warns deficits cannot be allowed, and favors a tax budgeting system to prevent overreach while urging property owners to curb extravagance.
An editorial note about a late letter to the editor prompts a strong response as a doctor agrees to care for a young boy. Several women pledge aid to clothe and support the child, illustrating the community’s generosity and call to charity.
Statewide taxpayers organize a Cache Valley league and plan to expand across Utah. Critics urge cutting extravagant state spending as auditors warn revenues will not cover next year's costs.
A census bureau report highlights Utah as the healthiest state in the nation with a death rate of 10.1 per thousand in the registration area, lower than every other state except Kansas. Dr. T. L. Beatty notes Utah should have a higher health rating than Kansas. The Kansas population is estimated at 1,766,597.
The notes discuss Kansas gaining about 22 percent over the 1910 census and Utah's higher birth rate. Dr Beatty notes Utah's population increase impacts mortality projections, comparing Utah and Kansas death rates for 1914 and contrasting California climate cures with Utah's lower death rate by about 25 percent.
The article notes a sharp jump in November U S exports and imports, forecasting a $30 billion annual total and potential balance of trade growth to $2 5 billion by 1996 as gold reserves rise.

Captain Franz Von Papen Germanys recalled military attache leaves New York aboard the Noor dam for Rotterdam bearing a safe conduct to Germany from the Entente. He bids Americans farewell, praising their hospitality and voicing hope for improved relations as Germany fights on.
In December 1912 Captain Von Papen was named a military attaché to the German embassy in England. The public focus arose again in September when a letter he wrote to his wife surfaced among papers seized by the British from James F. J. Archibald during an attempted delivery to Europe. The missive described a taunting term later translated as a mocking insult.
