UTAH LEGIONAIRE The Utah Legionaire, a paper devoter to the interests of our dier boys, has made its appearance and from now on will be regular- published every month. It is full of information of interest to the odd War Veterans, and others as well, and the purpose of the ip:r is to further the interests of the Utah boys who responded the call. It is a paper which should be read by all. The preamble of the American Legion constitution: For God and Country we associate ourselves together for the flowing purposes: To uphold and defend the Contitution of the United States America ; to maintain law and order ; to foster and perpetuate one hundred per cent Americanism; to preserve the memories and cUents of our association in the great war ; to inculcate a sense i idivdual obligation to the community, state and nation ; to combat e autocracy of both the classes and the masses ; to make right the on earth; to safe- 'ter of might; to promote peace and good-wi- ll ard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom d democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our votion to mutual happiness. , COME HOME American citizens residing in Japan daily fear for their lives and many threats are being made of violence. Police are patrolling American districts to afford assistance in case of trouble, but some of the newspapers are daily fomenting trouble by their incessant articles to get even with America for the proclaimed wrong done the Japanese people. It would be well for all Americans living in Japan to get rid of their property and leave the country. Our country is big enough to house all Americans. Attacks upon Americans in Japan will no doubt be retaliated in this country, especially in California where the feeling is very bitter against the Japs, but it is to be hoped that no Americans will allow themselves to persecute the Japanese who are now living in this country. It is unchristian to do so and no good can result from such unfair treatment of the citizens of another country, no matter how they may treat our citizens living in their country. WORLD WAR VETS BROKEN PROMISES Governor Charles R. Mabey welcomed the World War veterans d their friends to the city after they all became seated in the large ormon Tabernacle last Monday morning. It was also there that Americans are a unit in agreeing that the country is being burdened to death with useless laws.

Practically every candidate for public office denounces extravagance in government, demands early relief, and pledges his services to a policy of reduction. Every election is a paper victory for the forces of economy and retrenchment. Yet, in spite of it all, the public sees each succeeding administration spend more money than its predecessor, create more offices and bureaus, enact more statutes and lead the country deeper into the wilderness of confusion and profligacy.
