Show THE CITIZEN 6 evidently knows how to enforce prohibition judging from his speeches. We did not think any one could fool Borah, but he has fallen by the wayside. Former Governor Lowden is out to help the poor farmer. The good farmer needs no help. Just what he would give the farmers if he was elected, other than some good advice, is beyond us ; yet he might turn the treasury over to the farm bureau as a price for the election of prsident. But what is he going to do for the laboring man and the other people? Dawes would like to be president so that he can change the senate rules, and Hoover has his No doubt there are other prospective candieye on the big chair. dates lurking behind trees, hiding in the underbrush and peeping over high stone walls. If they only can keep Cal from saying anything, they figure that he will be easy meat at the convention, and whats more he will be if he keeps sailing under his present silent regime. EYE FOR BUSINESS A boosters organization, a financing syndicate, backed by representative businessmen, with the object in view to bringing in new industries, no doubt will be given every support. The first real work of this organization in order that its plans may meet with success is to secure repeal of some of our unjust tax laws that permit unjust taxation of corporations. Because of this tax, many corporations have withdrawn from the State of Utah during the past four years, until now we have few outside corporations rep- resented here. To get people to come in here we must give them the same opportunities they can secure in other states. Howard H. Rolapp, attorney, is at present representing the new organization, and he says that it will soon be incorporated under the laws of Utah and ready to do business as in importer of new business into our state. JEWISH SECLUSION What is there about the Jew that keeps him so seclusive? From the dawn of history we find the Jews living their own religion, manners and customs which environment has never yet changed and with a possible few exceptions the race absolutely refuses to assimilate with other races. Living without country, they are found scattered all over the globe, where they thrive, living in their own way and living strictly within the traditions of their forefathers. A good Jew will never marry outside of his own race. Our Bible is a history of the Jews; the Jews produced the Christ in which the Christians believe, and the beginning of civilization is traced to the Jews, yet why are they so different from other people? Remarking on this condition, Nathaniel Zalowitz, a prominent Jew, speaks his mind in an article in the Jewish Daily Forward. He says: volAlthough the Ghetto was never instituted in this country, a untary Ghetto has practically existed since the first large influx of East European immigration began in 1882. It is a belief of mine that this voluntary Ghetto will exert a tremendous influence on the course which Jewish history will take in America, that it will serve as one of our greatest bulwarks in our struggle against absorption in the maelstrom of Anglo-Saxo- n civilization, but that at the same time it will be one of the potent causes of feeling and will produce perhaps as much harm as good. In each of these boroughs (New York) there are Ghettos large and small, new Ghettos springing up almost overnight. There are Jews; Jews and Ghettos for native-borGhettos for foreign-borGhettos for poor Jews and Ghettos for middle class and for rich Jews, for Russian Jews and for German Jews. The East Side is one kind of a Ghetto, Washington Heights another kind, West Bronx a third, Riverside Drive a fourth, Broadway between 72nd and 96th streets a fifth, Upper Fifth Avenue a sixth, and Brooklyn has a dozen different kinds and styles of Ghettos of its own. Today you have a Ghetto for the Jew who owns a Rolls Royce and half a dozen other cars besides. The rich Jew no less than the poor one prefers to live among unsere leute, and the Gentile thinks so, too. People used to im gnti-Semit- n ic n agine years ago that as soon as the Jews will shed their gr they will mix with Gentiles, be accepted in Gentile society? into Gentile neighborhods, and be absorbed in a decade or J ' ,1 the in of The has theii sort no Jews, Nothing happened. march from the dingy and sordid East Side, did move into if, sections and the Gentiles immediately began to get out.
