population or slightly oyer over 6 to the square mile coming to maturity each year ar are e about young men and nd women surveys show that la in order to earn a livelihood these young people are leaving the state at t the rate ot of a year a month or 10 each day we aarein are in fact exporting our our own flesh and blood that the troma remainder inder of us may survive wedo we do this not like indians tor for profit but at huge losses losse to ourselves and the state there ther has been expended by maturity on the average boy or girl 1200 to 1500 for or education for or food clothing and housing and at least 1000 tor for church recreational and medical purposes a total of to we are exporting this investment in our or u young people at the rate ot of a day more than a month and abear a year but money Is the least of our losses the blood losses we suffer buffer cannot be replaced we are sapping capping our future vigor initiative and vitality at an appalling rate it if

losses have stunted the natural growth lot i of the south to this dayt day here in utah we are losing our best blood at the rate of 2 23 3 of 1 1010 a year and do not seem to realize th the e seriousness lessof of the thel situation th these you young people earning their liv livings ip in california or detroit are as much a loss to the future welfare of utah us its it if their bodies bodie s were werd fertilizing the slopes ot af cemetery ridge bridgi at gettysburg I 1 in n addition to the thel loss og 0 two thirds ol of our young people we have between and unemployed this fund fundamental h mental social and economic problem beside 0 which allour all our other difficulties are insignificant will tend to disappear when we aro are growing at a rate that will offer opportunities to our jour young people to earn aliv a living while the industrialization ot of utah had been going on tor for many years a great deal of our economic thinking is based upon the outlook ota ofa pioneering agrarian state av although the opportunities tor for plo dlo in agriculture and stock raising have long since sincel ceased we tear fear industrialization because we do donot not understand it and because ot of chese these prejudices we are hostile toward it lt although aa isee it it Is our only salvation salv atlon lot let mw me point out some of the benefits we all receive from these great aggregations of capital we call corporations in 1927 1 I bought a general motors car tor for and in 1935 turned it in tor for a small email nl al lo 10 i ance and bought a far betters better car tor for about 1100 the purchasing value ofay of my automobile dollar in these ayears 8 years had increased al most or ahad I 1 had received the equivalent ot nearly a 60 bend in purchasing power a year I 1 didiot receive this dividend as a stockholder ot of general motors had I 1 bero been a stockholder I 1 would have receive received df about aw 5 a year but as a consumer 1 I got 60 a year this because stockholders stockholder were permitted to receive their avo 5 dividend it earned the reg reft son people would invest their say ear ings in general motors stocks and bonds and thus finance facilities by which a better automobile be manufactured each year at aproda a profet and still at a smaller selling price was wait because be so farour laws and the judgment ot of a majority ot of our people have protected from con fis cation ot of private property I 1 might clamor against general motors stockholders receiving 6 5 a year because I 1 am not a stockholder batin bat but in so doing be upsetting our whole industrial system throwing hundreds of thousands ot of men out of employ ment men tand land endangering my own indirect dividends ol of 5 60 0 a year let me cite you another example closer home in the second halt half of his address to be given in another other issue mr hunt points out the relationship of nonferrous metal mining to the population and unemployment
