That we have grown in population and individual wealth proves that Utah has been lavish in giving of her treasures to those who have been worthy, meaning those who would work and save and believe in her greatness. And yet in spite of natures generosity, we harbor all through our state disloyal citizens who grouch the hours away because, probably through their own fault, they have not prospered. We are about to spend $75,000.00 to tell our neighbors east and west, north and south, about the wares we have on Utahs shelves Before spending for sale to seekers of either pleasure of profit. this money, however, lets be honest merchants and believe in our We are not trying to state, even though we distrust our neighbors. sell the grouchy neighbor, but rather our scenery, our mines, our ranches, our orchards, our water power, our climate, and when a sale is made, lets guard the new resident from the moth-eate- n one who will ask him why in h- did you come here to live?"

Hicks in Provo Post. ll TIMES AHEAD According to an interview in the daily papers with Jesse L. Livermore, known in Wall street as Americas largest stock market operator , the business outlook in America is good. He says: "During the past few years the people of this country have become accustomed to living on a higher standard than heretofore, and they are not going to be satisfied to live any other Svay in the future. The money they spend must necessarily mean a large purchasing power, and that purchasing power is bound to keep business going at a good volume. We believe the average citizen will agree that Livermore is Thrift and saving is a fine thing, but spending money makes right. For instance, people have become accustomed to buyprosperity. In ing autos, and this buying makes jobs for an army of people. turn, the men who make autos spend the money they receive, thus keeping the people who make and raise the things they have to have also employed. The more we spend for legitimate purposes the more jobs there are and the more prosperity to be divided among all of us. Common sense, of course, has long ago shown that when We cant a man makes more and spends more he also saves more. have luxuries and necessities unless we create them so its plain that we have to produce if we want more. Humanity cant conthat men could sit and the time it than sume more only produces, down and depend on the ravens to feed them passed thousands of Weve got to produce and weve got to spend to have years ago.

W. B. Greeley, Chief of the Forest Service, in his annual report to the Secretary of Agriculture. t In 1917, the year records of the number of people visiting the National Forests were compiled, slightly over 3,000,000 were recorded. In 1922 this figure stood at over 6,000,-00thus showing a doubling in the number of visitors to the forests in six years. All indications point to a continued increase for, the future, the Chief Foresters report states. The use of the National Forests for recreation is in all respects deCol. serving of encouragement, Greeley writes in his report to SecIt means for no retary Wallace. small part of the countrys population a valuable opportunity and privilege. Properly provided for, recreational use will add valuable elements to our national life without seriously impairing the capacity of the forests to create wealth or render other public services. One of the important duties of officers of the Forest Service, the report continues, is the protection of game animals and fish, two resources of the forests which are closely related to the use of forested areas as recreation grounds. The wild life resources of the National Forests, declares Col. Greeley, must be administered, fostered, and utilized much as are the timber and forage resources. The cost of this activity, in common with providing facilities for recreation and conserving the sources of water, will never be in the form of commercial receipts, but is justified by the valuable public service which the National Forests can thus contribute. More game refuges and streams and ponds should be set aside to provide for protected breeding to meet the rapidly increasing use of the forests for recreational purposes, careful consideration frittered away as have state bonuses already granted. In view of the necessity for tax reduction for all alike, including the it seems hard to believe that the Ameican man is really in favor of the bonus but rather that he acquiesces to the move because of the loud demand from a minority in favor of it. It is more likely that his patriotic nature rebels at the thought.

An item from Washington says nations tax total increased 2 7 per cent in last 0 years and that 9.6 per cent of the total wealth in 1923 was exempt and beyond reach of the tax collector. Figures compiled indicate 12.9 per cent, $35,800,000, was exempt personal property, of which a large part was securities. To secure an equal distribution of the tax burden, now is the time that steps should be taken to lift this wealth out of the slacker class and put it to useful purposes. tax-fre- 1 1 1 tax-exem- pt HARVESTING THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS Harvesting the 1924 crop of widows, orphans and the small wage earner will be a national pastime again of the operator in fraudulent or questionable investments and the season is expected to open early. Many a humble home in the nation contains a person who has sought to place savings in investments, hoping thereby to insure comfort and ease in the sunset of life only to awaken to another story of misplaced confidence. The press of the country daily reports the news of the crooked operator who garnered millions to his coffers, only to be discovered after having harvested a mounteous crop from his victims all too late to repair the loss.
