Here is a philosophy which was set forth by Brigham Young very early in the history of Utah: "No me shall buy or sell land, for aU land shall be held in common. Every man shall have land measured off to him, both in the dty and for farming. He may have as much as he can till and use. If he refuses to till his land it shall be taken from him. All wood and timber and water will belong to the community, and all other natural resources; there will be no monoply in this valley by any man of any such resources for his own wealth and power. Any person trying to take greedy advantage of the materials which we must all use for our common welfare will be driven out iff this valley. Nobody wtil ever live in luxury in this valley while others starve." What if he had held to that idea throughout his life? Phillip A. Tadjthsfl long ago aarhed the- - title of Good Neighbor.

It Is well known that Secretory Woodring and Assistant Secretary Johnson of tho war department are at odds. In fact until a few months ago Mr. Woodring and Colonel Johnson wen not on speaking terms. It is tha general understanding that Colonel Johnson lo doing a reasonably good Job, but tho etuHH within tho department la such that no complete can be expected. Mr. Edison, who is running for tha governorship of New Jersey, has been no howling success as secretary of tho navy. So it ie not an exaggeration to 7 that unless two good men ore placed In charge In thoce two departments the execution of defense program can be badly messed up.
