MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months $2.00 WE'RE NOT SURPRISED Deer hunting in Utah has long been considered a hazardous business - not only from the deer's stand point, but from the hunters' years when hunting tragedies were so numerous that it was laughingly said that it was safer to be deer than a hunter. This year, as the news of mishaps be5n to trickle tri-ckle in, it appears that 1947 will have its share of hunting hunt-ing deaths. And we, at least, will register no amazement. From our vantage point near the liquor dispensary, we took occasion last week to notice the number or red-capped red-capped and red-shirted persons who dropped in at the liquor store to "stock-up" just before the hunt. Perhaps the liquor puchased by hunters was taken on the trip "in case of snake bite," but there is a chance too that it later becomes related to the dozens of tragedies trage-dies and to the scores of near-tragedies which happen during each deer season. It occurs to us that the motto which we have accepted ac-cepted with regard to automobiles : "If vou drink don't drive, and if vou drive, don't drink ;" might well apply to the 100,000 persons in Utah who take high powered rifles in their hands during the annual deer season. IT WON'T BE LONG NOW It was revealed recently that Orem's fire prevention bill, exclusive of the city's fire losses, amounted to $3200 last year. That's the amount which Orem paid to Prove City for fire protection rendered by that city to Orem. It is needless to begrudge te amount spent, despite the fact that most of Provo's department runs to Orem have been without avail. Tt is important that the protec-. protec-. tion has been available and that the Provo department as done its best to aid when called. Every Orem citizen, however, will look with gratification gratifi-cation at the near completion of the Orem fire hall, and will feel pride at the important step the city has taken. Within a few months the fire truck will be delivered and the city will have protection which it has needed so badly bad-ly for a decade. Meanwhile, keep the insurance paid up, and check over the heating plant before you fire up for the winter months.

We also picked a place where no other hunters could find-so as to be free from stray bullets. As far as I'm concerned some deer hunters hun-ters need a psychiatrist, and I'll bet they would land in the violent ward of an insane asy- lum-that is in deer season.

JriiMSdS The "Camel" Method Once the camel gets his head into the tent, he soon has his entire body Inside. This old saw lends itself to some modern applications, but it fits none better than the current English Eng-lish situation. Socialism is indeed like the camel; it does not stop at part-of-the-way measures. To put it into a good old Southern expression, it's simply "whole hawg or nuth-tag." nuth-tag." A striking feature of the British "Crisis Bill" which recently became be-came law in that country, was a clause giving government the authority au-thority to take possession of any industry which it might pronounce inefficiently managed. Actually, what this means Is that no industry in England is safe from government confiscation. The threat will always be present, for the excuse of "inefficiency" "ineffi-ciency" could be trumped up at any time. Invading the Tent For five years I have contended, in this column and In public addresses, ad-dresses, that no country could operate oper-ate successfully with a "half-and-half' economy. If it's partly government gov-ernment managed and partly prl- Eate enterprise, pretty soon Socialise Social-ise schemes find excuse to invade and take over. The present English government is proving my contention. conten-tion. It's the old "camel" 'process. England is a country that long has been known for devotion to the freedom free-dom of individuals. Yet, within two years after she started her program of nationalizing major industries, it was found necessary to pass a law giving f the government power to seize any industry it may choose on the excuse of "inefficiency." There's a lot of leeway there. An industry might be inefficiently managed man-aged from the viewpoint of production, produc-tion, or even from the viewpoint of non-cooperation with the government govern-ment Camel Becomes Boss Another striking feature of the Crisis Bill, as reported by the Associated Asso-ciated Press, was that it gave the government power to tell both men and women where to work and what to do. This includes women from 18 to 40 years of age who have no children chil-dren under 15, and men from 18 to 50 years of age. This loss of freedom free-dom of individuals has been un-thought un-thought of heretofore In English speaking countries. Control the Beast It is my earnest conviction that England avoided this conscription of her industryUand hepeople Just as long as possible' These steps must have beenxaken reluctantly, for she long has championed all the freedoms that we hold dear. There is only one conclusion to be drawn: these dangerous and drastic steps cannot be avoided under a government govern-ment managed economy. Once the camel's head is in, there's no keeping keep-ing him out of the tent. Every free American must take this as warning. If we want freedom to work at the job we choose, where we choose, and to bargain for our wages then we do not want a government gov-ernment managed economy. If we want the right to own property and to operate a business for what profit there is In it, then we must stay shy of government managed economy. The British experience tells the tory.

Crop Land cf Nation Periled by Erosion Officials Say Failure to Act Will Cost 0. S. 20 Billion. WASIUNGTON.-Conservatlon of-flcials of-flcials say that one-fourth of the nation's na-tion's entire crop land Is threatened with irreparable damage by 1960 if the present rate of erosion continues. contin-ues. Another 25 per cent of the land faces permanent Injury between 1960 and 1975. Failure to act, It was Indicated, will cost the nation 20 billion dollars in the next 20 years In actual cash and without regard to the irreplaceable irreplace-able loss of a vital natural resource. Continued retirement of broad areas from cultivation each year well may force a reduction of the American diet, officials added. Pointing up this possibility, they said census experts estimate that by 1970 the United States will have a population of 170 million, compared com-pared with the present 140 million. They said so great a population will require more not less land than is producing crops today. The officials stressed that "no one will starve." Instead, the national diet would decline in nutritional quality. There would be a shifting to a heavier heav-ier cereal diet. According to the soil men, erosion now is making Its most vicious at- ! tack upon the rich middle belt of the country. The Midwest long has been con- , sidered a "permanently" rich j bread basket. But intensive culti- j vatlon of war-important crops in the last few years has exposed millions of acres of precious topsoil to wind and rain, officials said. The 50 per cent of available crop land now suffering from "critical" or "serious" erosion totals 225 million mil-lion acres. Another 210 million acres Is undergoing a "slow" eating away. The rest of the nation's farm land resources, or only about 75 million acres, does not need conservation help now and may never need it Tiny Car, Quarter Ounci, Spuds 131 Klluan Hour PITTSBURGH. -A model automobile auto-mobile that weighs only a quarter quar-ter of an ounce, and attains a speed of 131 miles an hour in about a second has been constructed con-structed by C M.
