Show K Salt Lake City, Utah, Friday, March VoL 14; No. 10 15c per copy $5.00 per year What Money Can't Buy o The Third Way Out Gtij m By Robert LeFevre, Pres, of the Freedom School Gazette Telegram. Colorado Springs Once upon a time (we are told) there, was a mighty king who ruled his subjects with a rod of iron. No one under his sway could do as he pleased. Individual freedom was unknown. If a person wanted to start a business, go to school, manufacture a product or ever go on a trip, he could do noth ing until he had obtained permission from his majesty. And to make matters worse, the king insisted that LeFevre ery time he granted any kind of permisison to anyone that he be paid well for this service. THE RESULT of this practice was that the kings subjects were constantly impoverished. Many of them starved. Almost all of them were unhappy. SO, A REBELLION finally occurred in which the subjects of the king declared that they were no longer his subjects. They didnt try to dethrone the king. They simply fought a war whereby they sought to obtain a separation from his sceptered sway. In this they were successful and the men and women who had rebelled against his rule found themselves out from under his government once and for ev-Rob- ert all HATELY, two factions ap- peared among the former rebels. There were those who wanted to set up a new kind of king, transferring. their allegiance from a royal despot to a legally constituted majority. This faction demanded a new set of laws under which the citizens would be con- v - -- vr in slickers You know the new to a have way Washington skin die public. Its called Back Door Spending. And heres how it works. A legislative committee can ignore the ions appropriatcommittee trolled just as thoroughly as they had been controlled before. The single difference to be noted was their desire to be ruled by a majority opinion rather than by an hereditary monarch. BUT A SECOND faction made its appearance, also. This second group of persons did not wish to be ruled either by a despot in the person of a king, nor by a despot in the submission to a majority decision. They held that individualism was too valuable for it to be set aside by any kind of legal ukase. They wanted to be free and to manage their own affairs. (But it came to pass that the faction which wished to be ruled by a majority gained power over those who wished to be free. And as time went by, it became gradually apparent, at least to some, that a despotic m (march is no different than a despotic majority. It even begn to be suspected that a majority could be more cruel and vindictive than a single tyrant FOR INDIVIDUAL PERSONS, lacking responsibility, were able to pool their political power thru the medium of a ballot and thus to demand all kinds of things at the expense of. the public which even a vicious king would hesitate to seek for himself at the expense of his subjects at large. So it came about that the second faction which wanted freedom appeared to be vindicated in their desire.. The only trouble was that these same persons were harassed and hounded exactly as they had been under, their former monarch and they appeared to lack the means to obtain their freedom which they had lost under the rule of a despotic majority. WHAT WAS EVEN more enlightening was the fact that the persons who had wanted a majority in place of a king, now took to blaming those who wanted freedom for all their woes. They had discovered they were no better off than they had been before. But they imagined that their plight related to those informed individuals among them who still believed in the rights of individuals. They were loath to believe that they were responsible for their own oppression. And they turned about, threatening those who wanted to be free with the return of a monarch who might come upon them riding on a white horse. And. it is at this juncture that and authorize ceases. the spending of history WE DO NOT KNOW what befell money (unappropriated) by a Bu-- s these people. Most of them imreau.

Mr. Philbrick spoke in Salt Lake on Washington's Birthday. His press notice preceding his appearance lauded Mayor Lee as One of the nations leaders in the fight against communism." Mr. Philbrick also pointed to Mayor Lees campaign against centralized government as one of the steps necessary in curbing communism in the United States. This writer urges all alert citizens to hear Mr. Philbricks presentation. This paper sent a letter to his agent asking for the schedule of his talks around the country.
