Wayne TWO MORE: Destroyers hat kind of government did Utah have in 1913? Very good and sufficient, llow were public affairs taken care of? ery 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 be 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 revision before it is too late.

The two new ones wen called the Fdln?n the Ericsson, names that dovetailed nicely. The pair were named after Thomas Alva Edison, the greatest of inventors, and John Ericsson, who invented the famous Monitor warship in the Civil war. The Monitor, it will be remembered, defeated toe Merrimac in toe first battle between ironclads in the history of the world. Tom Edison's son, Charles, is gov- ernor-elec- t of New Jersey. His mother sponsored the Edison destroyer. A of (rid Ericsson sponsored toe sister ship, Mrs. Ruth Wallgren. The architect of toe Monitor was bom in Sweden, where they haven't yet forgotten him. These were two of the new American destroyers. England had obtained some 50 of the old ones, and was asking for more, like Oliver Twist Meanwhile, France still bed destroyers, and also 5000 submarines, and big ones at that But ona French battleship was out of toe picture: It waa reported from Madrid that a big 22,000 tamer of the Paris class was sitting at Gibraltar.

It will, they say, be a religion that will solves the elemental problems of human existence, do away with economic slavery, poverty and war. We are thankful that there is such a hope among men. What a glorious day it will be when this jungle warfare for profit shall have been relegated to oblivion and, instead of worshipping one day in seven, people shall worship and practice such things as love of their fellows, liberty, equality, justice, tolerance, peace and brotherhood. WILL WE GET INTO THE WAR? (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. Such is total war, a war on four fronts : ideological, a, political, economical and military, Poland, were deFrance and Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium feated, but did not know it, before the military invasion had and begun. They did not awaken to what German agents too late. until countries in their were doing sympathizers penetration Germanys ideological, political and economic had already won the war before a single shot was fired. That is war today; streamlined. And Germany is out to do precisely the same thing in our country, and will do so, if we let her.

WASHINGTON.-T- he new senate ta January ia going to be a very different group of men from what moat of the senators themselves would have predicted, confidentially, teat spring. There were quite a few surprises ta the primaries, but the election added to them. One of the biggeet surprise of all ia not that any particular aenator waa defeated, but that one of them waa This ie Joseph F.

When you add to this the fact that privately- - most ot the Democratic senators had thought, following the 1038 election, that Pennsylvania would probably go Republican all the way down the line, the surprise is even greater. Another big surprise was the defeat of Sen. John G. Townsend of Delaware. Townsend ie a fruit grow- er down ta toe southern part of hia will confound toe predictors. LA FOLLETTE STAGES UPSET Still another of these ia Robert M. La Follctte. Moat of the political forecasters missed the boat rather badly ta Wisconsin. One of them, who happened to be a great admirer of La Follette, was convinced after careful study of toe atate that toe electoral vote would be too close to forecast,, but that La Follette was certainly beaten. A majority of the political scouts were sure that Winkle would carry Wisconsin, and agreed that La Follette could not win on account of the soreness occasioned by hie endorsement by the New Deal. would go to Winkle. Illinois leaders themselves were surprised that Sen. James M. Slattery mada such a good showing. Even those who thought Roosevelt would get toe 20 electoral vote did not think Slattery had much chance of beating Curly' Brooks. There were those also who preSen. Arthur H. dicted trouble Vandenberg, especially after toe polls began to show how close the state was on too presidency, and how weak the Republican governor was.
