They charge different prices in different cities in the same state, and even in the same city, according to competition from the independent merchant across the street who is marked as the next victim. They owe their growth to chiseling, cheating, racketeering methods, wrecking others to build themselves. They never operate in a distressed community. They never render temporary assistance in the form of credit to any citizen. They never pay their just and fair share of taxes in propor tion to their volume of business. They have never raised the standard of living in any community. Absentee control of business is a detriment to the future welfare of all classes and there is no class or group that es-- capes its detrimental effect upon our economic life.

Do you want a community life built and sustained by local independent merchants or one bled white and cold-blooded- ly exploited by absentee owners? Let us save Utah and America by preventing monopoly, by keeping the broad road of opportunity open, and by passing a law, both in the State and Nation, that will regulate, selfishness and restrain greed.

Legislators know where ;he C. I.
