DIOOa reduction of the state debt, end for distinguished service to all of Utah's conservative interests. J It vas predicted long ago that in the lad days, which is now evil minded and designing men would seek to impose harmful things upon the people, through deception and by making in. iting inducements to partake of that which is injurious god destructive to the physical, mental and spiritual health. This prediction has come true to the letter. By all manner of ad vertising the papers and magasines enter the homes and invite the boys and girls and men and women to become addicted to the use of tobacco and liquor. Billions of cigarettes and millions of gallons of boose are manufactured annually and miist be sold to the people Toe manufacturers and vendors must get the young people, almost before they are out of the cradle, and fasten the destructive habits upon them, for trhieh indulgence they will pay dearly throughout the years. Atad the church and state appear to be helpless. Two hundred kilowatt hours of electric service costs 92 ?0 in Tacoma, Wash., under municipal ownership. The same service costs 96.12 in Spokane in the eastern part of the state under private ownership. Under its first year of municipal ownership Knoxville Tennessee reduced rates at once 38 per cent, which resulted in a saving of 91.041 000 to the consumers the first year Out of its earnings the city paid all costs inclu ding interest, amortisation, depreciation, operation and taxes. The taxes amounted to 9138,000. And earned a net profit of 9258,431. The American Tobacco company had a net profit last year of over 925,000,000, while the farmers on Tobacco Road just eked out a bare, and for the most part, miserable existence on some of the lowest incomes in the nation. : The gulf between these extremes is going to be the nation's undoing if some American process of equalising this status is not found immediately. 8 a poor, obseure and underprivileged boy came up In out ti the slums to win the Pulitser price in music. He was denominated "the most talented and deserving composer of the year." And his music simply gave voice to his own brokenhearted protest against the slums in which he lived. He had been born and bred in the slums and had tried to getaway from tiiem but could not and had to endure all their poverty and shame. The sunbeams could not come to his physical body in those dark places, but eventually they came to his soul and he put them into deathless music. The money which Pulitser paid brought him out and stood him upas a man and a genius among his fellows. And so we might go into the dark, poverty-stricke- n, dirt and ignorance-ridde- n places of the world and find souls worth saving from the blight that is upon them. Thousands of gifted souls linger in the shadows from which, unaided, they cannot extricate themselves. The business of the lives of those better situated should be to throw out a life line to these unfortunates. The Consumers Cooperative Association announced this week that it is shipping 16,5000 gallons of oil to the Swedish oil cooperative wholesale and that an order has just been received from the Netherlands Cooperative Wholesale at Rotterdam for 6,380 gallons of oil to be shipped on or before March 29 via one of the Holland American liners. Before the war in Scotland, France, Belgium, Bulthey whipped oil to s and Holland. Estonia Cooperative leaders look forward garia, to the ext nsion of international trade between cooperatives, on a basis, as a factor which eventually play an imin role a permanent world peace. portant -- familiarity crossed his face as he looked atthTl grew pale at the touch of her hand in his. wh L 20an for the youth, in the embrace of the minist admirtio create a hasty desire to see the painting.

Americans should ano h or themselves to the faith of Lincoln. No man in all the turbulent history of this planet, save it be Thomas Jefferson, has more clearly defined and marked the path of democracy than Americas mighty son of the wilderness and the prarie.

Temp'ary asstnts for 1940 total Grand $54,070.00 This, according to the printedgbudget, is a little more than double the expenses of the office and home for 1938. These are the actual figures taken from the Biennial Budget of the state. And they are for one year, 1940. We are of ibe opinion that this enormous expense could at least be cut jn two. The power to tax is the power to destroy, and believe us there is some destroying going on in all the public buildings. Excessive taxation is a dam to progress, Unrighteous and tyrannical government, or what passes for government, is an obstruction block to the people. The truth is that in many ways it is not so much government we have as it is an endless game for and by the politicians and their friends. The cards are always stacked and the dice loaded against the people.
