You will readily see by reading the program numbers that they were able to do just as they planned.

HUNT To Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah Stansbury in his report CAPT. on a "Survey ot Great Salt Lake" in 1S47-mentions a horrible practice of the Indians in Utah of selling their children to the Navajos to become later slaves of the Spaniards in Mexico. This practice Is unprecedented in biological history. In the lowest forms of vegetable and animal life, parents sacrifice themselves that their young may survive. Plants give the last drop of juice from roots, stalks and leaves to nourish the seeds; fish batter themselves to pieces on the rocks in ascending rivers to spawn where the young may be free from their natufal enemies In the sea; the females of certain scorpions in Mexico lay their eggs o their backs and are consumed alive when the young scorpions hatch. Utah with an area of 82,000 under cultivasquare miles, 3 tion, has about 520,000 population, or slightly over 6 to the square mile. Coming to maturity each year are about 5,200 young men and women. Surveys show that in order to earn a livelihood, these young people are leaving the state at the rate of 3.600 a year, 300 a month, or 10 each day. We are in fact exporting our own flesh and blood that the remainder of us may survive. We do this, not like Indians, for profit, but at huge losses to ourselves and the state. There has been expended by maturity on the average boy or girl $1200 to $1500 for education, $5000 for food, clothing and housing and at least $1000 for church, recreational and medical purposes, a total of $7000 to $7500. We are exporting this investment in our young people at the rate of $70,000 a day, more than $2,000,000 a month and $25,000,000 a year. But money is the least of our losses. The blood losses we suffer cannot be replaced. We are sapping our future vigor, initiative and vitality at an appalling rate. If continued we shall become a state of old men and women and spinsters. The Southern States lost 500,000 vigorous, courageous men out of a population of less than 10,000,000 in five years of warfare. Such losses have stunted the natural growth of the South to this day. Here in Utah we are losing our best Mood of V'r a year and at the rate of do not seem to realize the seriousness of the situation.

WTe fear industrialization because we do not understand it and, beeause of these prejudices, we are hostile toward It, although, as I see it, it Is our only salvation. me point out some of the benefits we all receive from these great aggregations of capital we call corporations. In 1927 I bought a General Motors car for $4160 and in 1935 turned It in for a small alio ,'ance and bought a far better car for about $1100. The purchasing value of my automobile dollar In these 8 years had increased almost 400f, or, I had received the diviequivalent of nearly a 50 dend in purchasing power a year. I did not receive this dividend as a stockholder of General Motors. Had I been a stockholder I would a year, have received about 5 a but as a consumer I got 50 year; this because stockholders were permitted to receive their 5 dividend, if earned. The reason people would invest their savings In General Motors stocks and bonds and thus finance facilities by which a better automobile could be manufactured each year at a profit and still at a smaller selling price, was because so far our laws and the judgment of a majority of our people have protected from conI fiscation of private property. might clamor against General Motors stockholders receiving 5 a year because I am not a stockholder, but in so doing I would be our whole industrial upsetting of system, throwing hundreds thousands of men out of employment and endangering my own Inn year. direct dividends of 50 Let me cite you another example closer home.
