Fri ! -- has been developing for many years, Newspaper Did you ever give serious thought to your home town newspaper and the vast amount of work that goes into it? Or are you one who just kind of takes it for granted that it is printed regularly and will be in the postoffice when you expect it? growing more serious all the time. The de- pression merely brought it F. II. SISSON to a climax. Unless drastic steps are taken to reverse this trend the problem will not end with the i epression. It will continue to weigh down and retard progress for .n indefinite period. In city, county, state and nation the orgy of spending has run on. It is estimated that in the United States the total cost of all government is nearly five times what it was before the World War. Many localities have ':een brought to the verge of bankruptcy by their expenditures, while many have saddled their citizens with a debt burden that will darken their lives and hamper their progress for years. The total cost of Fc :eral, state and local government in the United milStates Is estimated at forty-silion dollars a day. Based on national income in 1930, this reprethe total insents about come of our people, or about $110 for every ir. dividual in the nation. Total taxes in 1931 are estimated to have taken more than 22 per cent of the national income. It Is occasion for sisrlous thought on the part of everyone when one day's income out of every four or five must be contributed to the maintenance of government machinery. United States Government expenditures were reduced one hundred and forty million dollars during the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The recent action of bankers in calling a halt to unnecessary expenditures of New York City as prerequisite to loans will reduce the cost of government in the country's metropolis, which is second in its expenditures to only the Federal Government. No state in the Union, In fact, no other government on this hemisphere, spends half as much as this one city. These savings In Federal and municipal costs are only the beginning of a movement needed throughout the country, if we are to be led out of depression in'o prosperity. Unless the people can he made to realize that money for governmental expenditure can come only from their own pockets as taxpayers, casting depressing effects on, both individual effort and general business, there is an imminent threat that we may be forced to meet economic difficulties similar to those that have so seriously handicapped other countries. The idea that money for these mounting extravagances can be raised by following the slogan "Soak the Rich" Is utterly fallacious, for such a policy will simply exterminate "the rich" and eliminate sources of revenue. It is also important to realize that corporate business in tills country la in no position to withstand the effects of indefinite advances iu tax rates. Current earning reports Veveal that fact beyond shadow of doubt. The tax base must be broadened, and it therefore seems likely that Congress will be called upon to reconsider the sales tax. one-Qft- h A lot of people do just take it as an accepted fact that the newspaper will be published at its regular time and thus unconsciously express a confidence in their home newspaper. That trust is appreciated and never betrayed. That is why The Journal is regularly published once each week and always is in the postoffice early Friday mornings. Your Journal is the result of a carefully preconceived idea, put into being through the use of intricate and expensive machinery, by an establishment which has served Helper for more than 22 years. The Journal is a legal newspaper under the laws of the state of Utah and the United States federal government. The Journal does not just happen to be published when the spirit moves us, or when we feel there is enough advertising to make it profitable. The Journal, like all legal newspapers, is published at stated intervals, presenting the news of the week and the messages of local business men. The Journal is here to serve you and the community. It truly is your newspaper, and you are urged to make use of it at all times.

"Guaranty of bank deposits carries an idea that naturally appeals to people In general on casual consideration," the declaration said. "However, in principle it is unsound and in practice it is unworkable. It has been tried in eight States and it has not only failed in every case, but it has resulted in increasing the number of bank failures. Taxing properly managed banks to make up losses of failed banks is not only unfair and unreasonable, but it weakens the whole banking structure. Again, guaranty of deposits places the Incompetent and reckless banker on an equal footing wltb the able and conservative banker, which encourages bad banking at the expense of sound banking. We are therefoi e opposed to the passage of any law carrying a guaranty of bank deposits and believe that it ii against the IntereBt of the people of the United States to develop iuch system."
