Lund $1.50 PER YEAR UoSoNazrFasdste Are bad As HMer The present day danger to our beloved country from with-out is very grave. The danger from within is equally grave. But the people will not awaken to these dangers until the bombs and fire are falling about them or wild mobs are working destruction, a condition which ia fast approaching. The American Nazi-Fascis- ts portrayed in Liberty Maga-zine are just as dangerous, just as blood-thirst- y, iust as ready to torture, starve, drive and massacre people as arel those in Europe. They are out to divide the people. How little do they realize what they are doing. In dividing the people they will but bring down the temples of liderty. They are well rep-resented locally by those who are dyeing red their hands and knives by stabbing Russia in the back. Most Russians are clean, white and saintly by comparison. Utah Needs Development si? v;: Mjf . C 1 ii J&rriKtU c - v ln.Hi. m.i - ii v Utah's greatest need today Is more prospect shafts such as this one in order to Insure her future well-bein- What has happened to the pros-pector? What has happened to the small mine operator? Are the producing mines doing sufficient development work? These are questions that are being asked throughout Utah and other western mining districts. They are all important to the pre-sent war effort and are not suf-ficiently in evidence t'i warrant a comfortable feeling toward metal production In the future. The producer, the small mine operator and development work have all been neglected during the past ten years and as a result the reserves of s metals are below what they have been during the past 25 years. The resources are here, but- a stimulation is needed to revive prospecting, small mines and de-velopment work. When a pound of ore has been mined it is gone; there is no second crop. More must be found to offset what is taken out or else the mine must close down. What has happened? The incen-tive has not gone, as prices are good for newly mined metals since the government recentiy offered a premium for newly mined or excess production. The nation needs met-als and is willing to pay for them. The answer seems to lie in reg-ulation. The small operator and the prospector have virtually ceased to function because of a fear that exists of regulations of the Securities and Exchange Com-mission, and development work In the producing mines has been cur-tailed by mounting costs in other directions. All great mines were once mere prospects and many prospects are now worthless holes In the ground. Mining Is a gamble and mining al-ways will be a gamble. If future mines are to- be - developed by private enterprise rather than gov-ernment loan, then the burdensome and complicated restrictions of the Securities and Exchange Commis-sion should remove. The future of the mining Industry Is at stake and the future develop-ment of Utah resources are at stake. It is time to call for a revival of mining development If Utah is to continue Its growth. The Expenses of the Government. Vhere Your Money Goes In a constructive way we are going to give our readers an lea of where the public money goes and to whom,in both state nd nation. This week state Auditor Reese has been kind en-ug- h to furnish us ith some figures for Utah, as follows: The state of Utah has in its employ in all of its offices and arious activities, 3,363 employes. The number varies some t diffesent times of the year. The total sum of money paid ) the employes per month is 1423,069 GO.uearly half a million nese figures are up-to-t- minute, for month of June, 1942 When we read of the traitors and saboteurs caught on ie Eastern seaboard it reminded us of what Washington said I his generals on the eve of one of his important battles: Tonight we strike at the enemy. There arc traitors in our lidtt Be sure you have only Americans atthe outposts." Wealth and Privilege Against the President One of Pres. Roosevelt's sons married a du Pont but that marriage didn't put the rich family for him. During his second campaign Lamont duPont gave 1173,000 to 34 organizations out to defeat Roosevelt. Irene duPont gave $166, Hen-ry B, duPont gave $25,000. 'This came out in the Senate Committee's investigation. At the Liberty League meeting when Al Smith took a walk and denounced the president there were present thirteen duPonts, all fighting against him. Doughboys in Guatemalan Parade (United States soldiers, some afoot and some riding in jeeps, are shown -"- ssy participated in the big parade that marked the celebration of the Jversary of the 1871 revolution in Guatemala City.

The Germ That Will Not Die Greed, the destructive germ which has become so deeply imbedded in America's national life, is riding to a fall and if it keeps going according to its present leaos and bounds may plunge us nto chaos shortly. More of the people on the home front ara inspired by motives of greed than by patriotic zeyl for the country and its defense. All over the land the cry is "How much can I get out of it?" Last week we mentioned about rent-raisi- one case in hundreds. Today we menl ion othcrcases f a l if fere it kind, which are but two in hund-reds. Three men in Washington, for government and manufacturers, for securing contracls from Uncle Sam and giving them to the manufacturers, they drew down close to 1350,000, which made a net income for each of them of $1,150 for every day of the first six months of the war. Profits amounting to SC13,79S realized by a family of four by obtaining war contracts for 1 1 manufacturers on a com-mission acknowledged by Wiiliam Scrimgeour to tie House Naval Aifairs Coinmitte. We hold that u puliie name for hat is stealing. Of course it is l lie American w.iy, but ho.v does it. square with the case of th boys who stand daily .u the jaws of death, ducking the bombs from overhead, ri iiu from the tanks behind, and ducking the bullets from all around at $50 months? Think of the government begging for money and allowing such thefts as that. And we repeat that these are but two of hnndreds of cases. We are for the war and with the boys, but we sure feel like damningjlieprofiteers m These, Too, ARE ESSENTIAL in our- - War Effort Making food, clothing and ' other necessities readily available to people and keeping prices as low as pos-sible are important parts of our all-o- war program. A government official, dur-ing a recent visit to Utah, said, "In specialist stores you probably will find items j selling at a higher price than in the chain stores." j iUg j Utah Chain Stores are dedi-cated to a definite wartime program which includes these pledges: To strive to the utmost to serve customers and the home front by main-taining the flow of nec-essities needed for civi- - ; lian welfare and morale. To keep retail prices at the lowest possible level and strive further to eliminate every unnec-essary distribution cost.

It does not seem to us that real and true Brotherhood can be established under the exploiting, profit-takin- g and usurious system commonly called capitalism. It just can't be done.
