Citizens, Use Your Heads TWO MORE: Destroyers What kind of government did Utah have in 1913? Very good and sufficient. Hoar were public affairs taken care of? Very well. Were taxes and expenses high enough? They were. Were there enough public officials? Yes. Then how and why is it that between that day and this state taxes have increased more than 1200 per centl And public employees accordingly. And now comes another legislature before which tremendous pressure will bo brought for more and higher taxes. People talk against the power of the state in Europe while their own state is headed for bondage by taxation, bonds, and interest. It is high time to call a halt and begin a sharp downward re vision before it is too late. ,v DOOR: Reverse is MONKEY WRENCH: In Diplomacy? Germany's diplomatic maneuvers, usually believed forerunner to huge military operations, continued to be watched closely in half a dozen capitals, and wonder wee expressed again whether perhaps Soviet Bus-si- s might throw a monkey wrench into the proceedings again. Balkan resistance to Axis domination showed signs of crumbling, with Hungary first to give in to Nazi demands, and Rumania showing final collapse, though it was pointed out that the latter was already in Nad hands. At this moment Russia stepped In with two moves, the significant character of which was evident but the meaning of which was not at once ascertainable. 's Russia recalled Schwarzkev, ambassador to the Reich, and replaced him with another commissar. Russia sent a warning to her Utile Slavic neighbor, Bulgaria, to be slow and careful about joining fully in the Axis plane.

A Lear Friend and Brother Lun : I am impressed with a burning desire to write you today, and as I proceed many and varied thoughts enter my mind and I ponder deeply what Thanksgiving should mean ro this great Republic and the world. My eoul is troubled as I dwell upon the turbulant waveof war hysteria, human slaughter, destruction of property, the weeping and wailing, heart pangs, poverry and crime that ia sweeping over the old world like some deadly venom that knows no bounds. And in our own dear U. S, A all ia confusion turmoil and an uncontrollable passion to plunge headlong into this universal holocaust while millions of God's children suffer in dire want, and I wonder if in very truth it is an appropriate time to offer up our thanks and supplications to a God of love a'id mercy. As I gase through the window looking east, as the sun in all its majestic glory rises above the horizon, spreading its silvery Bheen across the fair pinocles of Zions wonderland, see the little village that has been my home for more than forty years resting quietly and serenely in the midst of the mignty hills Here my elevn children have been born and most of them and their children were here for Thanksgiving I shed tears of ioy while my heart went out to all the dittressed of the world.

(Continued next week) on what is happening today, Ask the man if we are going to get into the war, and his reply will be: What do you mean, get into the war? We are already in the war. And he is right. War, as all other things, has undergone a big change. Rather than being military activities only as in former wars, war now does not go into the military phase until the war has first been won on the other three fronts. Which explains why Germany was able to so quicklv conquer the nations she has, when once the military phase of the war was reached.
