PLANT-REFU- FATHER Every year enough money goes out of Utah, for the purchase of. articles that could be bought right here at home, to build a city. These millions of dollars that are needlessly leaving Utah serve only to build up the industries of other states which in turn pounce, upon Utahs industries Mt. Clemens, Mich. Henry Ford, during the last hour of his seven days on the witness stand, took occasion to claim full reponsibillty for his son, Edsel Fords, claim for exemption from the selective draft. "He wanted to enlist, said Mr. Ford, but I told him that he could do more good where he was. He was offered several commissions which would have permitted him to wear a uniform and stay right in the factory, but he wouldnt accept them. Having made their decision, it was shown, both Mr. Ford and his son refused to camouflage It behind swivel chair commission carrying boots and spurs. This subject, the introduction of which has been awaited ever since the trial opened, did not develop along the lines which had been generally ex peoted. Mr. Fords inclination to shoulder full responsibility, his state ment that his son was absolutely essential to the war work being done in the faotory and his revelation of the fact that Edsel Ford turned down several offers of a commission, criticism. The charges, spread during a political campaign, and recently repeated on the floor of tha United States senate, to the effect that the young president of the Ford Motor company had shirked his duty were so fully refuted that Tribune counsel did not pursue the point. It was the first time that a full explanation of the facts in connection with Edsel Fords war work has been made public and it was easily the' feature of the eleventh week of the theyre For Utahs Permanent Prosperity Utah-Mad- Goods. e Utah Manufacturers Association Builders WAS RESPONSIBLE of Industry wmm (i) dis-arme- d BUY AT HOME SELL AT HOME!

Allen Brothers HYRUM, UTAH Screen Doors and Quality Lumber (PLUS SERVICE) East Main Street, Hyrum, Henry Ford spent seven days on the witness stand and of this time he gave less than two hours to his own lawyers. As long as counsel for, Tho Tribune was hammering him Mr, Ford sat quietly in the witness chair answering the constant fire of questions with great patienee. But the instant his own lawyers took him in hand his attitude changed. He became self, conscious and diffident. He would not accept the efforts of his counsel to provide him with an opportunity to reveal the full extent of his patriotic work during the war, his humanitarian views, or his advanced ideas of the relations which should exist be tween capital and labor. It is all in the records, said Mr. Ford. It have told it all here once.' He avoided, with care, anything that verged on boasting. He would not even describe the extent of the war work which his factories did and when record breaking performances in tho production of munitions was mentioned he declared, we did all we could, let it go at that. I want to forget all about It. I feel just as the soldiers f'.el. I dont want to talk about my war work. The witness did, however, after be. ing pressed, explain that his son had bought out the minority stockholders of the Ford Motor oompany because these interests had insisted oil Mr. Ford squeezing the last dollar out of the public, the government, the work ers and the product. He wanted to cut loose from his associates, he said so that he could carry out his ideas' of the distribution of profits to eru. ployees through increased wages and to the public through lower prices. It was either buy or sell and Mr. Ford had considered selling and organizing a new company. His son, however, took up the task of buying; out the minority stockholders and succeeded, despite the general belief in the flnan' cial world that this stock could not be purchased. One of the most interesting development? of Mr. Fords testimony came cut when it was testified that the only legislation he has ever sought was that for the protection of birds.- Other men of millions, it was shown, keep lobbyists in the national and' state capitol to urge and work for special privileges, but the one favor that M- -. Fold has ever asked from the lawmakers had nothing to do with his own Interests. It was a ourious bit of testimony and left a deep impres-sioon the audience in the court chamber.
