Show 246 Progressive Opinion FOR "WE, THE PEOPLE." Mf ii ci Underground Power ' PERSONAL READING Give em the Flowers Now America hu had a number of economists called great. But the two greatest of all have had very little recognition because they have advanced too much truth. Their names are Henry George and Edward Bellamy. No other economists have been able to answer them and none has been succesful in disputing their truth. They were two of Americas finest sons. Each displayed that he had a great soul and a gentle humanity. Had they been appreciated as they should have been they would they really do, towered above all the statesmen. Henry Georges great book, Progress and Poverty, set forth that under the old system Poverty follows Progress has been proph have etic and Bellamys "Looking Backward and Equality, been read the world over. All are economic Bibles. Bellamy gave people a vision of a glorious future when citizens must be tax free and free from poverty, with $5000 yearly for everyone and a retirement life policy at 45. He was great as an economist, a moralist and a humanitarian. Ho wit pained him to see the hopelessness of the masees who will not take charge of their own affairs and put an end to the inequities and in that exists. A lecturer from Holland has said to American audiences that his country began its housing program in 1901 and since that time has built 220,000 homes for workers, 75 per cent of which have been built by Cooperative Housing Societies which have cut rents 20 per cent. The Dutch government loans up to 100 per cent of the cost and the family is given fifty years to repay the loan. "Our houses are not Jerry built. They will last way beyond fifty years because tiny are built for use of the people who live in themand not to make a profit for speculative owners. He further says: "Our Cooperative housing shows a progress in health, economy and morals that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. We will never go back to the old to poor people and how it shames d system." What a Neighbor L. C Karrick turned in his subscription with the remark that there are no papers which will publish his thoughts coal processing and other matters. He is a good man and his ideas are sound and one of these days the pubic leaders will wake up to that fact. This paper would gladly puplish all his ideas if it had a way of getting it set in type We know of few men who have worked so hard and long and patiently for an idea as has Mr. Karrick. TOWNSEND the profit system that forecloses and crushes and kills. What can we do to make headway for this kind of cooperation in Utah? The interests are worrying a great deal about the national debt of something like $40,000,000,000. But they never say a word about another national debt which mounts to $360,000, 000 000! This is the bonded debt of town and city and state in all the country, and it brings them a rich harvest of interest with security that is gilt edged. J Man is said to be the king of the animal creation. "But," "he is the worst of all wild animals. Another puts forth man's inconsistencies as follows: "Men pretend to believe in God and sacrifice their lives to Mammon; they love liberty and persecute the championi of freedom; they honor Christ and are obedient to Dictators. They bow down to virtue as holy yet they stain the earth with prostitution and syphilis, They defend marriage as the bans of civilization and practise on the sly all manner of freedoms and licences. They praise truth and allow the cheats and swindlers to occupy the seats of the mighty. They make a religion of education and a mockery of enlightment. They pretend to love the highbrow and in their secret hearts most enjoy the lowbrow. They shout for Brotherhood, and shoot or imprison or sast out those who will not join their drunken debauch of patriotism, nation- who does not want his name published, writes follows: and all of its features, especially the editorials.

We want achievement instead of unemployment, plenty instead of privation, security instead of certainity, mounting taxes, possible war and chaos. fact-findi- It true that there are some voices crying in the wilderness today crying for peace, for more equality and more social justice. But it is a different wilderness. Unlike the old wilderness it is not near to God and nature. It is a wilderness of greed and steel and stone and gold, and it takes a mighty loud voice to penetrate these sufficiently to reach the spirit within. is Organization! !

Re- fining and Mining Company's United States Mine, at Bingham. Utah. The hoist room, which on the surface would be represented by a large building several stories high, is located in the mine approximatethe ly 1100 feet vertically below tunsurface and is reached by a nel over a mile in length. It was excavated out of solid rock and is constructed entirely of concrete and steel. The hoist, designed for operations to a depth of 4000 ft. below the hoist room level, is equipped with every modern safety device and automatic controls. The United States Mine is a fine example of the vitality of the mining Industry. The Old Jordan claim, around which this operation was built, waa located in 186 and was developed almost entirely by the present Company or Interests which went to make up the present ComThe Company, since its pany. formation in 1905, has provided almost continuous employment at tra United States Mine for a large number of men. Its record for employment at this mine during the depression years waa outstanding, the annual average number of employees at that property during the years 1931 to 1935, Inclusive, varying only between 430 and 439. The search for new ore is car rlad on simultaneously with production. Tunnels penetrate tha rock formations farther and farther from the portal to the present day distances of several miles, and deeper and deeper extends the search. Where once the brawn of men pushed a small mine car or turned the windlass, high powered locomotives must now be used and huge hoists wind ths heavy cables that raise the ore several thousand or more feet. Thus through tremendous investments in machinery, equipment and labor is the life of a mining enterprise perpetuated, and then only If engineering skill and efficient operation can keep the cost of production within the bounds of the economic value of the minerals mined. .

Sprawling old houses, they were sinister and darkly foreboding. Inside one of them lived pretty June Leaford, surrounded by taciturn, dose-mouth- ed relatives, one of whom was a maniacal murderer, cleverly striking at those who stood in the way. The ultimate solving of the mystery by two of fiction's best known characters, Inspector Tope and Miss Moss, is one of Ben Ames Williams' most thrilling stories. How they are helped in the solution of the crime by Clint Jervies, in love with June, is one of the heart- warming features of the detective tale. be completely engrossed by "Three Shuttered Houses."
