Show THE CITIZEN 4 just as good racing here as given in other parts of the country. We have not had any racing here for a long time. The people love the sport and they will turn out in paying numbers if the proper racing is given. It is therefore up to the promoters to protect the public and to see that the best horses are secured for entries in order that good racing may be enjoyed by the patrons. The opening meet, which calls for forty-fiv- e days of racing, will start next Thursday afternoon, July 2, at the state fair grounds. Some of the best stables in the country have been shipped here for entries to this meeting, which should assure the best of racing and sport for the race track patrons. Lagoon has secured a fall meeting to start October 8. The racing will be conducted during the Indian summer weather, which as a rule is ideal for outdoor, sports. It is reported that the Lagoon race track is in the best possible condition and the horsemen who have seen it predict that many of the state records will fall by the way when the meet opens. BETRAY INDUSTRIES tunes in the United States under the protection of Ameri. an la the opportunities afforded to investors in our country, would ing deliberately to strike down American industry and degrade standard of American life merely to fatten their already pl bank accounts. That lack of patriotism, while surprising, is able in those whose financial interests lie in the direction of the building of foreign as against domestic industry, although it r d sents a very view even of their own ultimate good American people need, however, only to be aroused to this pro sacrifice of the general welfare of this country to be arrayed ab such a proposal. It will be pressed with such sophistry of argm both by the theoretical and the financial free traders, however, tl will require a thorough campaign of education on the question its bearings, to avert the national disaster certain to follow the sue of such a policy, which is a part of the general program actively continuously pressed since the close of the World War, to sacri American to foreign interests. 1 short-sighte- o 1 nl 1! ii 01 la SEE AMERICA FIRST. a This months National Republican carries an editorial which should be read by all. This paper states, The Washington correoffispondent of The Magazine of Wall Street quotes a man in high cial position in Washington as saying: Within eighteen months we shall be in the throes of the most sweeping general revision of the tariff that we have ever known. He states that this demand will come from the bankers, meaning presumably international bankers and their allies, including, of course, the importing and other interests engaged in the marketing of foreign rather than of domestic commodities. Continuing, the man in high official position in Washington is quoted as saying: Our bankers and foreign investors have been flirting with foreigners in a financial way. Theyve put billions of their wealth in Europe and divers other parts of the world, and now they are quite naturally beginning to see the foreigners view of our tariff. Also they have new view of their own; a billion dollar view that sticks to the retina. Naturally if they have money in a French steel company they would like to kick a breach in our tariff walls. Also they lent their money and ours for the purpose of reaping ininterest and profits from it. If there isnt such a revision of our tariff laws as will let in more foreign goods they may have trouble collecting interest from people who have no gold and are forbidden to send us goods in payment of their debts. Within a year the consuming masses will begin to rally to the standards of our international bankers and against the manufacturers. The American people will have to decide whether they are first interested in the activity of American industry and employment, or in foreign industry and employment which will raise revenue to pay interest on investments made abroad by American financiers. If there is to be withdrawn from American industry a protective tariff sufficient to measure the difference between labor costs at home and abroad the inevitable result will be that American industry will have either to shut up shop or reduce production costs, especially labor costs, to the European and Asiatic level. While cheap-labo- r products from abroad will insure profits to the foreign producer, and the American financier who has invested money earned in the United States in foreign industries or securities, it will not insure cheap goods to the American consumer, since commodities may be controlled at a few customs houses more easily than at thousands of American factory doors. The imported goods will be, as they are now and were under the Underwood tariff, sold at just enough below the prevailing American price to put the American producer out of business, and will remain at a retail figure representing all the market will bear until American competition can develop on the foreign cheap labor basis. The benefits to be derived from the arrangement, except to the foreign producer, the importer and the American investor who puts his money into foreign rather than domestic enterprises, will be imaginary; the injury in slackened American industry will be very real. It seems incredible that men who have accumulated huge for See Europe if you will, but see America first, is an immoi ire phrase, the author of which was the late Secretary Fisher Harris pi the Salt Lake Commercial Club. As the phrase indicates, Mr. was an originator and knew how to do things. He was outspoken stood for all that was good and right, and the country should re more men like him. Through the efforts of the Salt Lake Telegram, the Univei Film corporation is producing a series of See America First tures, the first of which are now being run at the popular Pai theatre and secured through the efforts of Manager Ed. S. Dial People who attend this theatre during the next few weeks will be to see all the beautiful scenery of this country from their seats in of theatre, instead of having to travel throughout the country at bi Is pense to see the views. It is indeed a treat to bring to this city d he countrys wonder scenery and so vividly and naturally displa upon the canvas. The picture which is now being run treats with surrounding y of city and mountainous scenery and is familiar to most of us. though there are thousands who have never even ventured into nearby canyons and they will not know what they have missed rtr these pictures are seen. ha The present proposed run of pictures will take the Pantages ! atre patrons to all the wonders of America. car These pictures will be sent all over the world and it wi co: or medium this for state ever putoj attempied greatest advertising and this city will secure the major benefits. It is movements of I character which count in our daily life and are worth while, andtl back of it all cannot be too highly commended for the ;iood worll are performing for the benefit of the community in general.
