MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Raiest One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months $2.00 WE'LL MAKE ROOM Announcement this week that authorities of the Central Cen-tral Utah Vocational school are looking toward Orem for a site for the new campus should put every progressive Orem citizen on his toes. The property originally selected on North University Avenue in Provo is thought now to be unavailable because of legal technicalities which make it impossible for school boards to contribute money for the purchase of the expensive ex-pensive property. Thus property in Orem is being" considered, and the Orem Chamber of Commerce has agreed to make available avail-able free the necessary property, if the school will be established here. The school needs 20 acres of land. It needs to be centrally cen-trally located in the county. It needs to be reasonably accessible to BYU. All of which makes Orem the logical place to establish the school. Victor Anderson and Oscar H. Anderson, members on the chamber of commerce committee in charge of the school site selection, have come up with some favorable reports regarding available sites, and every Orem citizen can profitably back the chamber of commerce in their offer of-fer of the site. . Establishment here of the vocational school would add another substantial institution to, the city. State-financed and filling a definite need in the state's educational program, pro-gram, the school will bring into the community hundreds of new, desirable people. The school can make Orem the state's center for vocational education, and the years may see in Orem a campus we'll point to with pride. For the good of the school for the good of Orem: "This is the place." 73 ANTELOPE KILLED IN UTAH Seventy-three antelope have been reported killed to date In the rcent 100-head hunt in Utah's Dagget County, according accord-ing to figures compiled by the Utah Fish and Game Department- Farrer's TRAILER SUPPLY We Build, Repair, Sell ALL TYPES TRAILERS CLOTKSS LINE POSTS Ona Block So.

A GING HAM FROCK ... a simple little afternoon dress, in stripes and checks,, crisp and fresh with just a hint of starch.

It even had that new be low the knee trimness- It cer tainly was an attractive little frock and you cannot imagine what it did for the wearer. I've never seen anyone with more good wholesome appeal and with more femininity and charm. It is the kind of dress that all of the rgils wore in those dreams we fellows had when we were away during the war. They are not old fashioned, you will see them featured in the display windows of our best stores, yet people have written songs and tomes of sentimental descriptives of "The girl in the Alice blue gown, etc.!

Girls (whether you be six or sixty) if you only want a pal for a husband or boy trrend just keep right on wearing that careless outfit all of the time, a pull over sweater and some dedal pushers or some levis. They are fine for school, for work and for play, but if you would have a SWEETHEART, make the most of your natural assets and be a real feminine woman once in a while. You don't have to wear sheer de-colette de-colette gowns with a daring display dis-play of the anatomy, or mink or fox or the like; just take time out to "fresh up" with a little special hair do, and a touch of cologne, a happy smile and a lovely little afternoon frock, and give your husband or boy friend a new thrill.

BENSON 1 PmiimtHatdiiit Cilltft Sure). ikaHiti 140 Million Capitalists "Soak the Rich" used to be quite a popular slogan In some quarters. Whether the same words are used today, the same idea still appeals to large number of people. The plan put forward by these folks boils down to one main issue: limit the incomes in-comes of citizens in the high brackets brack-ets and divide it among the other people. By putting more money in the hands of more people they hope to attain a greater prosperity. However, this economic Utopia theory runs afoul of economic fact and economic law. Its basic platform plat-form Is hinged on the fSea that most of the nation's money is held by comparative tew. A greater misconception mis-conception is hardly possible. In the light of sound reasoning and cold statistics, the absurdity of this notion no-tion is obvious. No other civilization has seen a more equitable distribution distribu-tion of wealth among its people. The People's Money For example, a tabulation of income in-come tax returns for 1942 shows the full impact of the results of our American system. In that year the group of individuals receiving income in-come of less than $5,000 annually, representing 96 per cent of the country's coun-try's population, paid 47 per cent of all federal personal income taxes. This, too, is the group which since 1931 has averaged at least 88 per cent of the nation's annual income. In comparison, some 1,321,000 people reported Incomes in excess of $5,000 during the same year. This group approximately 4 per cent of the population paid S3 per cent of all federal personal income taxes. In the above-$5,000 group, only 22.3 per cent of their income came from interest, dividends, rents, royalties, and fiduciaries. This is a far cry from the well worn "coupon clippers" clip-pers" line of attack of radical planners. All Groups Share Curiously enough, the lower income in-come groups are far from being the underdog in distribution of income from these sources. The above-$5,000 above-$5,000 group was responsible for 37 per cent of all income from interest, dividends, and fiduciaries, while the below-$5,000 group pocketed 63 per cent of the income from the same sources. The lower income groups have a large stake in the nation's business and industry. If these planners could limit the Incomes of all individuals to $10,000 before taxes and other fixed charges, some $3.2 billion would be available for distribution to the lesser income people. Representing little more than 4 per cent of the national income, it would amount to only $40 per. capita provided, of course, that there had been no economic eco-nomic or financial loss in the process proc-ess of redistribution. This would be a costly price to pay for thedestruction of incentive, which would inevitably follow. Most "venture" capital would disappear. Since this is the source of all industrial indus-trial progress, the immediate and certain result would be a breaking down of the national economy, a reduction re-duction of national income and of individual income. Freedom of the individual and his unlimited incentive incen-tive for gain are dependent on each other. This way, everyone benefits. ALTERATIONS! I tailor men's suits over for women.
