For shame, chirped the mocking bird, shed not the blood, To form a rebellion of famine and blood. You hide the key to wisdom beyond the safe: y realm While imitating mankind to aid a lower plan. You live on the earth just the same as I, Why destroy all nature ben ath the pretty sky? Through evil temptation forfeit your right, When God is our Maker, let's walk in the light. Cost of Free (continued from page one) President Roosevelt's susceptibility to colds comes from his excessive smoking of cigarettes. If the cigarette can do this to a strong man what will it not do to the millions of boys and in girls just out of the cradle who have been taught to smoke order that the Tobacco Company may have profits.

He brought his tithes and offerings and his best wishes. Mr, Waters s a man of ability and is not ackward in expressing his views. hile here he spoke to the Old Age group and was elected to be one of the vice presidents. He believes that the economics and politics of the country should be greatly improved and he is willing to do his part to that end. About $30 a Year for Every Man, Woman,Child And right now the board is asking for higher tax levies! Pertinent Questions Does the public ge its moneys worth out of the millions of dollars the state spends annually for education?

Much of the good work of schools and churches is nullified by that desolating scourge, the liquor traffic. ng Taxes doesnt bother the town of Morrisville, Vt., because its people had foresight and built themselves a municipal plant back sn 1894. It did not take them long to pay for it. Last year it ground out 6,500 .000 kilowatt hours and earned enough money over and above expenses to pay 125,000 for public improvements, to pay the towns taxes and several other things, and also to leave a snug balance in the bank. Because of it the town has prospered. It has lighted the homes, stores, and sireest, and furnished power for mills, factories, creameries, etc. It makes the job of tax collector unecessary. All Utah towns might do likewise. Three dogs were playing on the street, and as they looked about they beheld the dog catcher approaching them. Imedi-atel- y they scampered down the street and as they ran the hind most dog shouted to the others: For Gods sake, run for your lives, civilisation is after us.1 And so might it be said by whole nations and populations in the world today who are fleeing from civilixstions methods of destroying them. The way politicians run the country to ruin isillustrattd by some facts from Philadelphia. In 1871 they begun the construe tion of a City Hall which cost $24,000,000. It has not been paid for to this day. But the people have paid interest enough to cover the original cost four times! If the graft and corruption and sin and shame that have issued from that building were told it would cast a black shroud oyer all of Pennsylvania The Townsend plan says in effect: "Let us retire the aged jn honor and decency and give the work of the world to the young manhood and womanhood of the country. The old system operating in the world today, virtually says: Let us tax the aged and work them to the Unit in making munitions and profits so that we can make canoon fodder of the fine young 'manhood of the world, widow their women and orphan their children." Technocracy says: Let us put the machine in the service of life and create abundance, beauty, leisure for all. The old system says: Let us makes machines and men into profit and build more death dealing instruments with which to destroy onr fellows- The American Plan for Abundance says: There is plenty and to spare for all Let us unite and use it for human welfare " The old system says: We can only maintain our system by scarcity, and scarcity means abundance to the fegg Many of us are talking about the heaven we are going to reach by and by. The poet says, Thyself art thine own heaven. Heaven in all its springtide of beauty is here A writer says: and now, before our very eyes, surging up to our feet, lapping against our hearts; but we alas, do not know how to let it in. To show how popular Cooperation is becoming in this country we give out the fact that six of the canidates for the presidency of the United States have come boldly for Cooperation. Dewey believes in it becauseit cuts the cost of distribution and gets the farmers products more directly to ths consumer. Taft says : "Cooperation should be encouraged by legislation and by sympathetic government assistance.' Gov. Bricker says: If ever the economic end social problems of American are solved, if ever peace and security and contentment are brought to the world, it will be done by people who can eooperaee. Gov. Aiken says: The Cooperative movement has gone to far to turn back now Sen. Wheeler says: The new social order will include public ownership of basic utilities, extensive organisation of workers in labor unions, and the growth of farmers and consumers' cooperatives. Pres. Roosevelt is on record favoring Cooperatives in every way possible. But no candidate has yet come forward with a sane and definite program for ending unemployment, And only one of them, Roosevelt has a definite program of putting even a sem-ance of purchasing power in the hands of the people, bl Treasure from the tomb of the world's unhappiest man.
