MEMBER: Utah State Press Association ' Subscription Raiest One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months $2.00 WE'RE NOT SURPRISED Deer hunting in Utah has long been considered a hazardous business - not only from the deer's stand point, but from the hunters' as well. There were a few years when hunting tragedies were so numerous that it was laughingly said that it was safer to be deer than a hunter. This year, as the news of mishaps begin to trickle tri-ckle in, it appears that 1947 will have its share of hunting hunt-ing deaths. And we, at least, will register no amazement. From our vantage point near the liquor dispensary, we took occasion last week to notice the number or red-capped red-capped and red-shirted persons who dropped in at the liquor store to "stock-up" just before the hunt. Perhaps the liquor puchased by hunters was taken on the trip "in case of snake bite," but there is a chance too that it later becomes related to the dozens of tragedies trage-dies and to the scores of near-tragedies which happen during each deer season. It occurs to us that the motto which we have accepted ac-cepted with regard to automobiles: "If vou drink don't drive, and if vou drive, don't drink;" might well apply to the 100,000 persons in Utah who take high powered rifles in their hands during the annual deer season. TT WON'T BE LONG NOW n It was revealed recently that Orem's fire prevention bill, exclusive of the city's fire losses, amounted to $3200 last year. That's the amount which Orem paid to Provo City for fire protection rendered by that city to Orem. It is needless to begrudge te amount spent, despite the fact that most of Provo's department runs to Orem have been without avail. Tt is important that the protection protec-tion has been available and that the Provo department as done its best to aid when called. Every Orem citizen, however, will look with gratification gratifi-cation at the near completion of the Orem fire hall, and will feel pride at the important step the city has taken. Within a few months the fire truck will be delivered and the city will have protection which it has needed so badly bad-ly for a decade. Meanwhile, keep the insurance paid up, and check over the heating plant before vou fire up for the winter months.

This old saw lends itself to some modern applications, but it fits none better than the current English Eng-lish situation. Socialism Is indeed like the camel: it does not ston at part-of-the-way measures. To put it into a good old Southern expression, it's simply "whole haw or nuth- lng." A striking feature of the BriUsh "Crisis BUI" which recently be came law in that country, was a clause giving government the au thority to take possession of any industry which it might pronounce inefficiently manaeed. Actually. what this means is that no Industry in England is safe from government confiscation. The threat will alwavs be present, for the excuse of "ineffi ciency" could be trumped up at any time. Invading the Tent For five years I have contended. in this column and in public addresses, ad-dresses, that no country could oper ate successfully with a "half-and- half' economy. If it's partly government gov-ernment managed and partly private pri-vate enterprise, pretty soon Socialistic Social-istic schemes find excuse to invade and take over. The present English government is proving my conten tion. It's the old "camel" "Drocess. England is a country that Ions has been known for devotion to the free dom of individuals. Yet, within two years after she started her program of nationalizing major industries, it was found necessary to pass a law giving ( the government power to sehe any industry it may choose on the excuse of "inefficiency." There's a lot of leeway there. An Industry might be inefficiently managed man-aged from the viewpoint of production, produc-tion, or even from the viewpoint of non-cooperation with the government. govern-ment. Camel Becomes Bom Another striking feature of the Crisis Bill, as reported by the Associated Asso-ciated Press, was that it gave the government power to tell both men and women where to work and what to do. This includes women from 18 to 40 years of age who have no children chil-dren under 15, and men from 18 to 50 years of age. This loss of free dom of Individuals has been un-thought un-thought of heretofore in English speaking countries. Control the Beast It is my earnest conviction that England avoided this conscription of her industry. and hefpeople just as long as po!fiibI "These steps must have beenaken reluctantly, for she long has championed all the freedoms that we hold dear. There is only one conclusion to be drawn: these dangerous and drastic steps cannot be avoided under a government govern-ment managed economy. Once the camel's bead is in, there's no keeping keep-ing him out of the tent. Every free American must take this as warning. If we want freedom to work at the job we choose, where we choose, and to bargain for our wages then we do not want a government gov-ernment managed economy. If we want the right to own property and to operate a business for what profit there is In it, then we must stay shy of government managed economy. The British experience tells the ftory.

WASHINGTON.-Conservation of-flcials of-flcials say that one-fourth of the nation's na-tion's entire crop land is threatened with irreparable damage by I960 if the present rate of erosion continues. contin-ues. Another 25 per cent of the land facet permanent injury between I960 and 1975. Failure to act, it was Indicated. Will cost the nation 20 billion dollar in the next 20 years in actual cash and without resard to the irrenlace- able loss of a vital natural resource. Continued retirement of broad awas from cultivation each year well may force a reduction of the American diet, officials added. Pointina ud this oossibilitv. they said census experts estimate that by 1970 the United States will have a population of 170 million, compared com-pared with the present 140 million. They said so great a population will require more not less land than is producing crops today. The officials stressed that "no one will starve." Instead, the national diet would decline in nutriUonal quality. There would be a shifting to a heavier heav-ier cereal diet. J According to the soil men. erosion now is making Its most vicious attack at-tack upon the rich middle belt of the country. The Midwest long has been considered con-sidered a "permanently" rich bread basket. But intensive culti vation of war-important crops in the last lew years has exposed millions of acres of precious topsoil to wind and rain, officials said. The 50 per cent of available crop land now suffering from "critical" or "serious" erosion totals 225 million mil-lion acres. Another 210 million acres is undereoina a "slow" eatine away. The rest of the nation's farm land resources, or only about 75 million acres, does not need conservation help now and may never need it Food Conservation Asked by Extension Service of College Conservation of food and feed by Utah housewives, farmers, and commercial food and feed handlers can do much toward providing the needed Brain and other food supplies for the starv ing nations of western Europe, W.

A model automobile auto-mobile that weighs only a quarter quar-ter of an ounce, and attains a speed of 131 miles an hour in about a second has been constructed con-structed by C. M. Lear, an engineer engi-neer for Westinghouse Electric corporation at East Pittsburgh. The diminutive machine docs not use gasoline, he said. It derives de-rives its power from a metal capsule cap-sule of carbon dioxide similar to that used in a siphon bottle. The vehicle is a racing machine ma-chine and competes at speed trials tri-als with other models built on corresponding lines over a 60-foot 60-foot "race track."

From where I sit, that's the way it should be. Everybody's entitled to an opinion and it's those very dif-f dif-f ertv, and friendly criticism, that make for tolerance and better understanding whether it's ideas on planting alfalfa or choosing between be-tween beer and cider.
