At one end of the social order a new bureau is created to be operated by six mcn; each to be paid $12,000 a year. And they are just ordinary men, picked by the administration, without any special training. On tl.e other end the legislators begrudge needy aged people the average of $20 a month. If our memory serves us it costs about $50,000 each biennium to maintain one man in office in this state. And he always has his weather eye on the interests. The public is a wise old owl alright. R. W Brandon of Boneta, writes on this subject: The generous feeling our representatives have in proposing to increase some salaries from three thousand six hundred dollars to four or five thousand dollars, is big doings for them. But when it is in their power to incr-asthe meagre pensions the aged are entitled to, or to help the unemployed, they can make themselves mighty small. e Life Lins for tho Community and the Poop'o .In our' neighboring city, Murray, the municipally owned power plant laid down a net profit of over $22,000 last year.

One hundred thousand people, Americans, hissed the names of the countrys most prominent officials and cheered to the echo the names of foreign dictators while they saluted the Nasi emblem. Theodore Dreiser and many others, this paper among them, have long been telling people what was coming. It is not coming IT 13 HERE! Our position is this: While we have breath we shall stand with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln, with their principles for a platform. It will be good enough for us to stand under the flag they stood under, and to ever give to that flag the salute the miilions of redblooded American children are giving to it today. Before any earthly thing should induce us to do otherwise we would prefer to immediately go down to death and forgotten dustl With their principles everything Americsn could be saved this moment and perpetuated to last a thousand years! But there are influences at work which will not let their principles save America as we have known it.
