Show into the Valley of the groat Salt Lako but if twotlirds of the money that will bo spent on that occasion was utilized in establishing various vari-ous kinds of manufacturing enterpriser enter-priser and canning establishments, within the borders of our State, thereby furnishing employment for our citizens, it would bo an honor that would continue to grow, but after 'the Jubileo is over, it 'will only remain in memory there beih no lasting benefits only the : advertising it will do for the state, which is really superfluous, for our state will ndvertiso, itself fast enough, and the thing vro should do, is to strive to become independent inde-pendent by growing and manufacturing manu-facturing everything we need and stop sending our money away from home. The country has been drained for years, of every cent that was possible, which has been much to our detriment. We think the Independent might well exclaim "What fools these mortals be!" "What Fools These Mortals Be' The Lohi Banner hits things about right. Our Mr. lloylauce had to import a car load of apples last year for his trade ulone. The Banner says: "The Salina Press very aptly Bays that despite her natural resources, re-sources, Utah is a peculiar state. No; that is a slip of the pen. It is the people who are peculiar. Every year we send to eastern markets thousands of hogs, sheep and cattle. Every year we receive from the eastern markets whole train loads of dressed beef rtnd mutton. Smoked hams and bacon ijrom Omaha and Kansas City are on sale in every country store in Utah. Our old cows go to Chicago and come back to us in the form of canned cornel beef and bologna sausage. Thousands of bushels of fruit rot in our orchards. We eat eastern dried apples and peaches and pumpkins. Every year wo raise a surplus of oats. We get our oatmeal from New York and Ohio. We buy cheese and canned Roods, vinegar, soap, molasses, "whiskey, linseed oil, puints, matches match-es and clothing in the eastern markets. All can be produced in Utah. There is something wrong about the whole business. Utah can never become a great state so long as her people spend their wealth to build up industries in etates east of the Missouri river. More than anything else, Utah Heeds manufacturing industries. Cihe will never have them until her I people change their ways." Spnngville Independent. Yes. There is something wrong in Utah, and there has got to be a change! Just think of it! Thousands Thous-ands of dollars are now being epent, shall wo say needless y? well, if not quite, almost to cele- , ; fcrate the 21th of July in Salt liake City, and we ask what benefit bene-fit is it going to be to tho community com-munity at largo?
