Establishment of the Bureau of Mines station adjacent to the Uni-versity of Utah campus in 1940 is proving to be of outstanding bene- -, fit to the war effort and to the state. Situated in the heart of Western mining, this plant is operating day and night to meet the many prob- lems that have arisen out of the war. Operations of the plant have not been confined to inside labora-tory work, but to numerous field examinations and more recently to actual development of strategic and critical minerals. When a large percentage of the United States imports of sheelite was cut off by the closing of the Burma Road in China, the bureau Immediately set about to augment the rapidly diminishing stocks of the much needed metal. Showings at the Cupric mine in the Milford section of Beaver county were drilled and recently an actual de-velopment program was launched. A tunnel has been driven a distance of 100 feet at the cupric and sev-eral hundred feet more work will be done in an effort to determine the sheelite production possibilities of the area. In the same region, the bureau has started work to reclaim the old Tasso shaft of the Wah Wah min-ing company. Diamond drilling is also being conducted at Iron Mountain near Cedar City. At Marysvale, Utah, an extensive program is being conducted on Alunite properties. Sampling and investigation work has been completed at Alta, Utah, and a number of projects also have been undertaken throughout Wyo- - EDITORIALS Read It and profit and pass It on. Help spead the truth ...EDITORIALS CONTINUED... Publicly Owned Electric Power Coming Piiblic ownership of light and power has become the state policy in the state of Washington which will, under a law just enacted, take over all the private enterprise? It was an Iniative law, passing the House by 62 to S7. and the Senate 29 to 17. The measure sounds the end of pri-vate utilities in that plate and the public will now get all the profits. Wonder if this could be done in Utah? It would be well if the enormous profits could be kept at liome inBtead of going to Bond, and Share Wall St. Two Untruths According to some a person who doesn't own property should not be classed as respectable. That reflects only on the ones who utter such a falsehood. It could not possibly reflect on the Son of Man who never own-ed any earthly property nor ever touched a single coin of the world's money. And there are some who seem to believe that those who, through misfor-tune, old age or illness are forced to accept relief, are "the scum of the earth." This is another falsehood and those who utter it are libeling many of their brothers and sisters. We are not against a reasonable competence, honestly acquired, for any man or woman. But we are against wealth that is acquired by dishonest methods, by oppressing and exploiting tlie people. True wealth lies within the heart and soul. Jesus, on his way to Calvary, bending under the cross, bleeding from the thorns, forsaken and betrayed, was, from both a human and a divine standpoint, the richest being that ev-er trod the earth. Away with your narrow and shriveled ideas. C. V. Hansen's Ideas (All law abiding citizens should thank Representative Thomas M, Rees for his stand and talk against liquor Ed.) The people who can't get tires, gasoline, candy ice cream and a thousand other things, and stili see the brewery equip ped with good tires, gasoline and new trucks, aree ting plenty mad. They are not mad about having togiv-u- many things in order to win the wht they are more than willing to do it, but they are wondering just why those who make and sell and consume alcohol don't liavs to give up anything and have the priorities over the necessities of life and perhaps war materials The eating places are refusing the second eup of coffee, but next door, and across the street suloons are selling thousands of drinks. The people of (his Nation are more than willing to be rationed in everything that is necessary to win the war, but when everything is rationed except the most thing the greatest cur-- e that ever afflicted any and all nati-ons and which might cause ua to lose the war, it is time to take a stand against it. Supply and Demand Law Starves Poor There are those who say we should leave everything to the aw of supply and demand. If we did that things would go exactly as they have gone in Europe. Under that ed law, and under the system of free enterprise, coal is selling over, there at $320 per ton. Eggs at 60c each. Pork at $1 per lb Butter at 89 to SU per pound. Coffee $48 to $80 per pound. During the last war, prices in this country, went up, on sugar from 55c for 10 lbs to $2.67 forlO lbs. Overals from 82c to 2.95 If there had been no regulation of prices and quantities now in America the prices would have gone sky high, and those who have money could and would buy up all the food products and keep them away from the poor So you see where we would have been at had there been no regulations. PERSONAL Readers, hear us once more. Pay no attention whatever to any one who comes to you and uses our name to help promote some eeonmic plan. We ere pos-itive- 'y not endorsing any man's plan none but the Master's. Neighbor David Athay was in the other day and we had a real social chat with him. He laid his contribution in the col-lection plate as gracefully as possible. Mr. Athay is a square shooter in politics. In his 25 years of political activity in Salt Lake no one has ever heard ,so much as a whisper against his honesty and integrity. He is capable and dependable. He is fortunate in having a talent-ed and charming wife As loug as we nan keep men like Dr. Francis Kirkham com-ing to us and making depos its in our bank for humanity we shall feel that our work is not in vain. He has nritten a worthwhile book about the Book of Mormon, a two-doll- ar book which he sells for one dol-lar. He operates a cooperative life insuranee agency which he has made very successful. He says --and he is positive on it, that if every person in Utah between one and 65 years of age paid in $4 a year they could be paid $1000 at death. That could be done if it were not for profiteering. Sometimes we are slow to thank, and sometimes we even forget for a time, those who do us a good deed with instruct-ions not to mention it. We as-sure them that we are thank-ful. Every kind deed is very gratefully remembered and helps to make life worthwhile Whoever contributes, in any way, to this paper is not only helping us but is 'lending to the Lord,'- - for the highest de-sire of our heart and the aim of every editorial is to help to bring about His purposes.

" A - r ' !, '4 I. . ' - JLr ' - , v - v Scenes like this men and machinery tunneling through rock to find ore is paramount need in Utah today. Probably at no time since early history has the ore reserves of the underground mines of Utah been lower than they are today, as a result of tile patriotic policies adopted throughout the producing mines of this state. Exploration work has been neg-lected in favor of production in an effort to keep the war machine of the United Nations functioning. Shortly after the war broke out the mines lost men to the armed ser-vices and to war industries estab-lished in Utah which were in a position to offer much higher wages. Mine operators were faced with two alternatives, sacrificing produc-tion in favor of development work, or sacrificing development work in favor of production. Naturally they turned almost entirely to produc-tion with the limited crews that remained. As a result 1942 saw much of the blocked out ores in Utah's under-ground mines fed into the war machine. These ores are gone and more must be found to replace them. Months and months of sys-tematic work will be required to place the producers on a normal operating basis again. Some relief was granted to the mines when the army furloughed 4000 former miners to return to their former occupation. Utah mines received approximately 1000 of these workers, but still more could be used to insure metals for the future needs of the war pro-gram. Is Not This An Awful Thought? After hearing Mada;ne Chiang Kai-she- k and looking up-on a beautifl colored picture of her, we spoke a sentence which came fiom the light and knowledge in our own soul: ' It is possible, right here on earth for every Chinese to become like her." With a sane and natural economic system, and plenty of true education and real spiritual light, the teeming millions might be lifted out of their degradation and poverty and ignor-ance and made to appear as beings that, were really created by God And this could be done in every nation even in Utah. Great Papers For Post War Cooperation One of the most conservative of national journals is Col-lier's Weekly. On the subject of post-wa- r action it says edit-orially : "It looks to us as if the civilized world's main job ...is to strive to work out some way of insuring mankind against fu-ture world wars If most of us are not ripe after this war for any proposal that seems to carry a fair proposal of Iasti ng peace, then the human race would seem to deserve to be kil-led off by its own folly." Even the reactionary Saturday Evening Post is for post-war world cooperation. It says editorially: "A transitional police job, permanent machinery for ad-justing disputes and dealing with aggressor nations ought to have little serious trouble. Republicans should avoid the ap-pearance of smearing the war effort, and should keep away from small personal attacks on the president and his family.' . Three patiiotic Republican senators, Taft.McNary and Austini have united to ask reactionary Democrats and Kepublieans to cease their destructive tactics lest they cripple the war effort. There can be no forgiveness for those who willfully, out of a hate-fille- d heart pour poison into the ears of patriotic people J. A. Hess Demands Action. Give it to him Everybody knows the general election gives all voters full franchise right and agree it is honest and right The Pri-mary ROBS everybody of that right.

Beware, Detractors and Obstructionists There are some movements, one in New York, one in New Jersey, and others, wliich have for their aim the literal and speedy destruction of the Commander These move-ments are the most sinister and dangerous that ever confront-ed the nation. It appears too that Wendell Wilkie is lending some support to these plotters. Backed by Tories in congress and a few Tory newspapers the movements may succeed. But let them be assured that by succeeding they will throw the war effort at home into chaos and most likely leave the soldi, ers and sailors stranded overseas. Along with breaking the administration they also plan to break labor If these antagonistic forces keep up their work wrecking the mighty war effort, deceiving and misleading the people plotting against labor, setting class against class, they will but destroy the civilization and freedom they think they are out to save, and their eyes will shortly behold Americans at ench others throats, causing a reign of mobocracy all accross the country. Americanism and freedom can be saved, but not by the methods they are using They can be saved only by a complete unity of effort. Talking the wicked, destructive criticism they are using let us refer them to Washington and Lincoln. What if the Father of our country had listened to his Tory critics and changed his eourse? The Revolution would have been lost. What if the great Emancipator had given ear to the base and traitorous critics of his time and taken a different course? The cause would have been lost and the Union severed. And so today, if critics and obstructionists prevail the whole war rt at home will be broken down, the doow thrown open to invasion and the grpat hosts of fighting men abroad left to do for themselves. Hit ler planned it that way and his imps are right how "touching the button." Men stand up for America! PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT v-- ; 1 !

Lesser s ms, even two-fieur- e sums would help a lot Weekly papers that mention a few Democrats and call them the best people get all the business, while this one, the most genuinely democratic and progressive of them all, gets none of it.
