Fhlla-delph- A FALSE CAMPAIGN perusal of the ponderous barrage of propaganda which has flooded the counone end to the other during the past from try eighteen months brings ready realization of the campaign that has brought about the desired tax-reduci- ng results. Necessity of tax reduction is not the only step to be taken that will again place the nation on secure footing. It is true that there is need for tax reduction in many daces, the advancement of governmental costs having been brought about largely through the erection of a large money spending organization through which those who served in certain capacities might be rewarded generously. This not only pertains to individuals holding offices ; it applies equally to communities where pork has been generously distributed as means of smoothing the pathway and making it possible for retention of power and control by those who carried on right. Hie propaganda has been carried on with the purpose in view of "covering up g, many abuses which have been practiced in so far ai public money levying is concerned, channels. Despite the propaganda, however, such frauds as the sale of practically valueless foreign bonds to unsuspecting Americans has been uncovered, this largely through the efforts of national legislators who saw tit to do their duty and followed this by doing it without the least assistance of the executive department of the government. These national legislators have carried on in their exposing campaign despite the concerted efforts to discredit them, one example of the latter drive having been brought to the fore because of the discharge of the United States senate sergeant-at-arm- s after he had contributed a magazine article of disparagement concerning the law making body by which he was employed. tax-reduci- ng non-taxin- THURSDAY, YOCATE. PRICE. PTAH The Public Forum Editor, The Price, Utah, te, Dear Sir: It is evident to everyone in this nation and this state that our greatest need at the present time is a medium of exchange that might be used to permit those who have services to render and products to exchange to facilitate this exchange in a simple but sound manner. Since most of the currency seems to be In banks, particularly the eastern banks, it would appear that the people of the state of Utah are more able today to perpetuate the progress of their pioneer fathers by using a medium most suitable to Utah. Inasmuch as Utah cannot call upon the east to correct the nations plight, we might do today what that great leader, Brigham Young, did in his day when he said, "This is the place. If he were here today, he would still be that great leader, and I think it would be appropriate to create a Brigham Young foundation and have this organization receive contributions of money and silver and purchase additional silver with such funds so as to cause a token to be cast, having as its base and intrinsic value, "me ounce of silver," with the picture of Brigham Young on one side and the emblem of Deseret (bee hive) on the other side, and that this token be used as a medium of exchange and to pay public and private bills in as many cases as possible. Notes of similar design could also be used which would represent certificates of deposit redeemable in ounces of silver even hoarding of this medium would enhance the value and it would seem evident that this token would soon be worth a dollar of United States currency. The mines whenever possible could pay their men in these ounces of silver or certificates of deposit, and such notes and tokens could be purchased and offered instead of currency by all who would like to help create work in Utahs mines. People in other states would soon accept this token upon the face value of silver and the ultimate possibility would be "silver on a parity with gold." As an ounce of silver has an international recognition of value, It would not be long before it would be possible for Utah to once more let the world know that "This is the WARREN A. ROSS, St George.

Actually, it is nothing of the sort; it is a bungling adventure in dollar diplomacy. In 1925, a military adventurer, Emiliano Chamorro, seized the government of Nicaragua, forced the president to resign, and drove the vice president, Sacasa, into exile.

We have spent millions. And at the end, we have Juan B. Sacasa as president, the office to which he would normally have succeeded six years ago, when the president was forcd to resign. Our state department, trying to excuse the invasion, cried aloud that the Liberals, of whom Sacasa was one, were bolshevists and agents of Moscow, who would tear up our rights in the Nicaraguan canal right of way. Now, state and navy departments unite in trying to put the halo of heroism on a sordid blunder, fathered in Wall there.
