Show THE VALUE OF HOMES ONE of ef the most delightful features connected with the community of latter day saints has been that the great majority of its people have hard been the owners of their own homes this has been a characteristic ever since the th e church charch had a gathering place it his has been a matter of pride with them thein and aad exhibited the fact that the bosl brought temporal as well as spiritual salvation it has been easy to contrast their comfortable condition compared with that of the masses of mankind abroad or the sit sita atlon clation of many many of the saints thema themselves elves previous to heards hearl 09 and receiving the latter day gospel message it will be a sorry day for the saints should it ever transpire that this admirable feature of their condition condi lioa should be extinguished then unless the sentiment of the world should change toward thern them they would be it they remained true to their Tel igloo but little more thau wanderers in the earth arth the actual pos possession seshion of their homes has given them a stability an and d hold bold wherever located that it would have been impossible for them to otherwise possess how much reasoning should it 16 require qu ire to make this matter as ak clelar clear as day to ve uie most obtuse intellect A d departure from the mi old well tried aud bp beneficent policy of bf the people owning their homes is a process of communal disintegration everything that contributes in that direction no matter in ia what guise it appears or under what specious pretexts it to is operated is productive of more or less dissolution it tends t to undermine the solid temporal foundation upon community hubere has heretofore stood and causes it to be menaced by a fertl peril of no small magnitude it Is a tact ac too patent to admit of denial that forces are in operation that are causing home ownership by working people iu in this city to te be invaded it if the whole community were to act as numbers of individuals are doing the entire people would be with without ut places place wherein to lay their heads so far as the ahe work can be done by such persons the matter has been accomplished accomplished hei they have hare contributed all in their power for or its attainment then would be fulfilled the desire ex 9 reseed in a public political gathering y a man noted for his

during this beast session n he thought th ebest elbest thing to do under the circumstances was to buy these people out and lot let them go where they pleased such appears to be the pro gramme and a nd object it Is the present drift of effort on the part of those who desire to possess the country which the saints have done se much toward redeeming this aim however is impossible of attainment without the operation cooperation co of those whose welfare is not sought by it those who are disposed to help along that object will do so as every person is free to act for himself under our liberal system of government when pretexts are needed they can be found in plenty L so 9 0 th the e work goes on OB some individual cases of dig of homes long established and probably on that account protracted possession not properly prized seized involve much perplexity and distress bistress to the principals working people have been offered what they considered a high figure figur e tor for their property
