For taking a stand in behalf of the people we have been made to suffer while those who speak and write for the power magnates are lauded to the skies and placed in the chief places of preferment. Congressman Rankin says, The power interests are collecting in overcharge! more than $1,000,000,000 a year from the light and power consumers, over and above the juet rates charged by the municipal plant in Taeoma, Wash.

The graft, corruption and downright thievery that lay like a blanket on the nations politics is a shame and a disgrace. And it ie because of these things that the cost to the country rune up to the staggering sum of one billions dollars, over and above the salaries paid to public servants. Utah s share ofthe $45,000,000,000 federal debt ($346 per capita) based on her population of 530,000 is $183,000,000.

Nevertheless, hundreds of thousands of families are being driven from their homes. One of the invaders ie overtaxation. Standing for Constitution (A Subscribers Communication His Views) On the 30th of August, Krupp Company of Germany and General Electric, and ita officers were indicted by a grand jury of conspiring to control the supply and fix prices on hard metals and tools vital to the nations defence." This startling news found obscure mention in only one local paper. The evening duly that hae a motto about standing for the constitution" did not have a line about the traitorous conspiracy of the General Electric and its efforts to hamstring States government in its efforts to prepare for its the-Unite- defence against foreign foes. The unspeakable crime of our induatrialista, conspiring with Krupp Company, against our national defence, is more despicable than the activities of Nasi Bund; and it ia not standing for the constitution, to conceal the treachery of then foes of the nation the other fifth column. Villalobos and. his Strange Qargo 1321, two years after Cortex and his conquistador es marched on Montezumas capital, a Spanish ship sailed from Santo Domingo for the shores of Mexico with a strange, but important, cargo. The boat was not loaded with soldiers in mail, with explorers or priests but with Andalusian cattle. The shipper was Gregorio de Villalobos. Little is known about Villalobos or his ship, but this cargo started the cattle business in this country, for the cattle increased and spread over into what ia now territory of the United States. In like manner the beginnings of today's telephone service were modest. In June, 1875, there were but j. militariete-plue-Britls- 1 , two telephones which talked imperfectly between two rooms in the same house. Today there are over 21,000,000 telephones in this country. From your telephone you may talk easily, naturally, to anyone in almost any village or hamlet in this country, and in normal times to telephone users in sixty foreign countries. The telephone not only makes pleasant and easy your voice visits with friends or relatives in other cities, but it facilitates the functioning of business as well. r i ht w The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co.
