And what is worse, Utahs leaders who should help protect them from this foreign exploitation and foreign control, instead of rallying the people Jh round a program of economic liberty, join right in with the foreign exploiters, and sell us down the river , So writes one of our correspondents this week, in a rather discouraging tone about his own state one of Utahs boys who has bad to go awray from his native state to make a place for himself and his family. He continues: Can you imagine any of our Utah leaders criticizing the Utah Copper Company? Or has any one of them ever protested against the Utah Power & Light Company? Instead of that these Leaders of Utah buy a few bonds of such companies, and then join the fight against any progressive movement of eccnomic liberation, tooth and nail. ' Letters like this are valuable, because they reveal what so many of Utahs own youth think aoout Utah once they get away from home and analize the causes of their own deportation. It is evident to them that too many people live on the labor of other Such people want to people instead of their own. ftrl'c. U SredL:. i an.J Untdand and of many parts of continental Europe, tired of slavery, gradually threw off tin ir chain.". But a new slawry-grcup. In ',iie of tbe Lorels and Ladies in their castles, the land hoc,nee infested 'with wealthy men who coot roiled the mints, the factoies, and even the newspapers, and in -- me lands, the churches too. Whether you believe these conditions exist or not, the truth is that Utah is in a bad economic plight.' You may prefer to Mate its condition, as Mayor Mark Anderson of Provo, states it: Tbe balance of Trade is against Utah, by which be means that this state buys more than it sells, that its outgo 13 greater than its income. Our educational system, and our expurt of brains from this system is so vast, and our income from the raw materials of mines, forests, streams, and farms is so small that we get the little end of the deal both ways. Utah is a magnificent state. It Las untold wealth, and its people are the grandest people on earth. What we need to do is study the problem, and not sit idly by and scorn or scoff at any one who may offer criticism about us. We should arouse ourselves, and find if these criticisms are in any sense true, and if they are, then let us do sojnething enclave the veil, rs arid the product-rs- , go that they may enjoy their eptcial pmiIeg-- , e mi though they bring about the sukide uf their own country, the tb-i- letter continues. Another correspondent this writes: Ihe rkh und powerful of Bire.-i- a brought about the death of freedom in their own country, and the same kind of people did it in France and in Germany, and theyll do it here in America, because we have too many poor, foolish people, who believe in the biblical . admonition: blaves, Obey your masters The readers of this newsmagazine may nut agree with such statements, but that does not disprove them. If such statements are being made we ought to know it, and do some investigating ourselves to prove their truth or falsity. Plenty of such complaints are received at our desk. Plenty of something is wrong in Utah, or our young people would not be so bitter as this next letter indicates: I could not force myself to be a slave in my own state. I w ill not be a slave to those who live on my labor, and I dont want to live in a world where rich people who do nothing get one to ten thousand or more dollars a month, while the poor old pioneers who worked long and hard to raise . family of fine boys and build up their state, are now forced to live in poverty on a lousy $30 a month. I want to smash the kind of relief system that permits the mighty rich to live on a dole of thousands while those who really want to work are handed out a measly $20 or $30 a month. It is the rich on the dole that cause the trouble in this country, and not the poor. Now, thats how he feels. The proof lies on this desk. You ask: Why should you publish such stuff? "The answer is: It is better to know- - the truth about how people feel, than to live in a fools paradise, and then try to do something about it after it is too late. Utahns ought to bestir themselves, if half what this young man writes is anywhere near the truth. And here is another extract from this weeks o orre? pond g nee, which w7o might &s well got out while we are at such thoughts: One hundred and fifty years ago Europe was the point where America is today the people at just bowing and scraping to the Lords ami Ladies who lived on them.
