Show Page THE JOURNAL 4 scorn SCRAP BOOK The JOURNAL A weekly newspaper published in WHO IS SACRIFICING" WHAT? One of the most overworked words in the current American lexicon is sacrifice' Practically everyone in a high position in the govern-on ment has felt it necessary to stress the need for sacrifices the part of the people. Thus, the President recently said, The farmer, the wage earner and the businessman must each be satisfied to work more for the good of all and to make a little less for himself. In return, your government will do its utmost to see that the necessary sacrifices are equally shared and that the common effort brings the maximum return in world strength for the cause of freedom." Those are splendid words. But the fact remains that many men in the government seem to have a warped idea of what sharing sacrifice involves. A relative few are really making sacrifices now. Those who fought in Korea have sacrificed. Those who died there made the ultimate sacrifice. The young men who are being called from home and school and the beginnings of careers into the armed services have a right to speak of sacrifice, for they are examples of it. The rest of us are not sacrificing: anything. We are paying higher taxes, it is truebut that is simply an unpleasant burden, not a sacrifice. We are living well, and we are following our daily routines pretty much in the normal manner. And our government officials, sad to relate, seem determined to sacrifice nothing. The record speaks for itself. Men in top positions in the face of the tremendous military emergency that has been forced upon us continue spending-as-usuin all directions. They are urging a plan for compulsory government medical insurance which would cost $6,000,000,000 or more'a year, and which wquld open the door to socialized medicine. , the interests of the residents of J)avis County, at Layton, Utah. matter at Entered as second-clas- s Act of the under Layton, Utah, ernment v 0HS oF TiH ARE.

Little Classified Advertising Manager al They are urging an agricultural schema, the Brannan plan, whose cost is beyong estimate, and which would have to be paid for by the farmers and everyone else. They are continuing their efforts to break up some of our larger enterprises including industries which are most necessary to the national defense and to the prosecution of a war if war should come again. They are continuing their efforts to socialize America. The attacks on the light and power industry are the most outstanding example of this. If these men are successful, this great industry will be absorbed by government at tremendous cost to all the taxpayers, and run by bureaucrats despite the provable fact that the industry is completely able to meet any conceivable demand for service, at the lowest possible cost. The record could be continued indefinitely. It is one thing to talk easily of sacrifice. It is another to actually make a few sacrifices, not matter how mild they maybe.
