Often Of-ten these changes develop as a result of social injustices. At the present time our economy appears to be founded upon special privileges through the exploitation of the less fortunate. fortun-ate. High profits, usury and monopoly are conducive to the concentration of wealth on the one hand and insecurity and fear on the other. All this is very unfair un-fair and bears very heavy upon those with low income. Seldom, if ever before, did the few own and control so much and the many have so little of this world's riches. "For the first time in all time, the banner year of prosperity, (1929)," the workers of this country produced produc-ed an abundance for everyone, COON'S ANNUAL SALE 150 North Univ.

During I he war years production passed the 200 billion dollar mark with 20 billion personal in the armed and home service. This means eight to ten thousand dollars per family, Plenty! How shall we go after that which is ours by right, a plenty? Is plenty too much for the worker work-er and producer? Or is less than plenty enough? Shall we continue to think ourselves blessed with a half loaf while a whole loaf is waiting for us, if only we dare go and get it? Where is the machinery that will destroy the plunder of inequality in-equality and grant the producer a ful loaf? This should be and is a challenge to both school and church. Whether through ignorance, necessity or lack of vision, the wealth of Utah has been leaving the state at an accelerated rate for many years. We are foreign owned and controlled. Our mines, utilities, chain stores, transportation systems, insurance insur-ance companies and manufacturing manufac-turing industries are slowly but surely draining our state economy econ-omy white. All that is left are wages, and taxes. The best thing thai, can be said about the ruling class is, "they have wit and intelligence enough to demand de-mand plenty." In order to strengthen the economic welfare, during the early settlement of Utah, Brig-ham Brig-ham Young saw to it that the business districts of the towns were dotted with cooperatives. Perhaps the best alternative with which to recapture our natural resources and establish equity and justice is to reincor-nate reincor-nate this religious principle into our 1947 centennial celebration. cele-bration. If the leaders of this One Hundred Year Jubilee earnestly and sincerely desire a - fitting memorial to the sturdy Pioneers of Utah builders, they will do well to feature this economic necessity the cooperative movement, move-ment, as a "Living" memorial to the wisdom and understanding understand-ing of the early settlers of Utah. Let us sell something to the visitor aside from scenery and pure air. "Strict" Inspection Seen for Motor Vehicles Strict inspection of motor vehicles ve-hicles will be the theme of this season's, inspection period starting start-ing March 15th and ending June 15th.

The law requires that all vehicles ve-hicles in Utah must bear an inspection in-spection sticker between June 15th and September 15th. By enforcing strict inspection, the patrol hopes to prevent many highway accidents. Utah has about 170,000 vehicles. REPORT SHOWS FEWER DEER IN MOUNTAINS During the past week Jesse L.

Apply 130 South 1st East, ProTo Cmm 0 What do you think railroads make? The public thinks we make 15 mm What do you think they should make? The public thinks 10 would be fair KiBluiiiiiiiii What are the facts? Actually the railroads earned only 2 in 1946. To provide the service you want, railroads need to earn at least 6. But estimates indicate that even with the recent freight rate increase, the return for 1947 will be only about half that requirement ;1 zlgifcV' " """FTftmTfall -iftiuMtna-mirn - Why it takes 6 to make the grade . . . Impartial research polls show that.onthe average,peoplethinkwemakel5.They also think a fair return would be 10. What We Make But for the year 1946, with the biggest peace-time traffic in history, the railroads rail-roads earned only ... 2 M. This is less than one-half the comparable earnings earn-ings for other industries. The reasons for this low return are not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad wages have increased 526io and tha prices of fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616io. But freight rates have just recently been increased an average of only 176io a year after the effective date of the last big wage increase. What About This Year? It is estimated that the return for 1947, even with the recent freight rate increase, in-crease, will be only about half the 6 minimum return required to provide the improvements and service needed. This will be because of increased costs of materials and supplies; because certain cer-tain wage increases granted in 1946 were in effect for only part of 1946 but will be in effect for all of 1947; because of increased special payroll taxes on railroads; and because of a decline in passenger business. What Does This Mean To You? The answer is "Plenty!" Your standard of living is the highest in the world because be-cause of mass production. But mass production would not be possible without with-out MASS TRANSPORTATION, Which the railroads provide at low cost. Why 6 Is Needed The kind of service your standard of living requires takes a lot of money for new equipment and improvements. To carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modern safety devices, a minimum return of 6 is needed. So when the railroads make only 2H cents on each $1.00 of their net property prop-erty investment, it concerns you. The funds for future new equipment and improvements must come from railroad rail-road earnings and also from investors. They will furnish money on reasonable terms only if they have confidence in the future earnings of the railroads. You Have Another Stake In This Even if you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds, insurance companies and savings banks do. So you still have a special interest in seeing that the railroads rail-roads are allowed enough to do a good job ... for you. We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first hand about matters which are important impor-tant to everybody. On total property investment, the railroads made only 2.19. 11 WIST Dil8 STBIIT CHICAGO t, ILLINOIS UTAH SAFETY COUNCIL SPEAKS The Tri-City Safety Committee Commit-tee urges all local governmental government-al units, peace officers and the highway patrol to take steps to curb the widespread illegal operation op-eration of motor-powered scooters, scoot-ers, bikes and similar vehicles on streets and highways by underage, un-derage, unlicensed juvenile drivers. driv-ers.

Hair THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH, AND MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW Hi Folks: There should be changes, so here are some things I favor: "Report cards for parents, as well as school children. I have noticed there are times when a child's poor work may be attributed attri-buted to conditions at home, over which parents have more control than the child." "That women are paid equivalent equiva-lent to that of men, for time and kind of employment. Utah is far behind other states concern ing working conditions for women. Now is the time to cor rect this injustice." I fovor unions: "I hope to own and operate a restaurant eventually, and I definitly want to employ union help. I am convinced that when labour is represented in every avenue, there is not the discord, or turr over of employees. I hope unions rectify some of their gross mistakes; mis-takes; No trainee should start out with top earnings it robs them of initiative incentive. There should be a learner's wage, an apprenticeship, otc, etc." "I certainly favor alimony for the injured husband, and liberal support money for the children until they are of age.
