The cost for crime, judges, jails, reformatories, almshouses and charity; broken homes, wrecked lives, poverty, disgrace and shame, made necessary because of the consumption of liquor is easily ten times greater than the income derived from the stuff. The highest price paid'by youth for indulgence in cigarettes and liquor is not the money involved. To that must be added the breaking down of moral standards and the contracting of much of the social disease now so prevalent. It is said on the very beet The city of Elberton, Georgia, which built its own light and power plant in 1895, at a cost of only 12,000, is today producing an annjal income ofjmore than 150,000. writer has pit out a book on the nine great religions of the world and he calls it the Bible of Mankind. He takes the grains of gold from Christianity, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Islam and the Bahai Cause. There is a great similarity in their standards and the substance of the Golden Rule runs through them all. Yes, practidly all humanity pretends to believe in that high and inspiring principle of human relationships, but it is large--, ly lip serviec they do not practise it, What a world men might make if they hewed strictly to the Golden Rule! The entertainment and practise of this high principle should make all men brothers in one universal bond. A ,ii i id FCanby, Oregon, asmall town, received In 1938 from its publiclLight' and Power plant gross receipts amounting to 16,025.50. After paying all expenses and supplying 2000 worth of free service to the city, it had a net profit of 5,464.12. All the towns injCtah might do likewise y-owned . Some of the highest salaries paid to men in thi . untry are as follows: Francis A. Countway, soap manufacturer, who is a bachelor, redeves in salary and bonus, 469,713 Thomas J. Watson, president International Business year. Machine Company, receives 453,410. Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel, 378,698. George Washington Hill of American Tobacco Company, 400,000. Wm. S. Knudsen of General Mown. 303,400. Claudette Colbert of the movies 301,944. Against these enormous incomes there are whole states like Oklauoma where relief clients receive for the family an average of6.64 per month. One third and more of the whole population is underfed, half clothed and miserably housed. A trtfth that stares the country in the face like a night mare is this:One million men, women and children, called Okies, am roamipg the West, working at such jobs as they can get and traveling far and wid to get them, and earning from 200 to 450 a year to the family. Compare these million people with the high salaried ones. If you think a social system can endure with such extremes you are mistaken. A nation cannot endure with a great part of its people in want and another part in supreme luxury. Look well into the gulf between these two before they both fall in. ex-rem- es What a glorious blessing science could have been to all mankind; what an instrument for better acquaintance, always e, the perfection of better relations and thus of peace! The alone, not to mention radio, should have placed man not on the slope but on the towering crest of Mount Olympus. What purpose is it used for? To drop bombs, this very hour, upon defenseless, helpless men, women and little children. To drop bombs that shatter and choke and burn and poison and dismember even the toddler at its mother's knee. What a marvellous blessing has medical and surgical science been to mankind in the godlike skill which it has achieved in holding life in the ageing, and repairing broken and failing bodies. At the same time chemical science has achieved an even greater skill in shattering and poisoning them, with the result that, in this new world war, civilisation is again the spectacle of the resources of medical science being used to patch tsgether broken bodies, in order that the resources of chemical science might bo use 1 to blow them to pieces again. air-plsn- Thore who own industry and manipulate it. for profit, and elose all the avenues of opportunity to the poor, are committing greater crimes than all the highwaymen, burglars, and gangsters in America.

The Utah Southern is built about S3 miles, narrow gauge. Roads connected with this are being constructed Into Uttle Cottonwood, Bingham Canyon and American Fork, to meet the demand for transportation to and from the various mining camps of these regions. The Utah Northern is being constructed from a Junction with the Central Pacific through our principal northern settlements into southesstern Idaho, and other narrow gangs roads are la construction or in contempla bought outside stores.
