By this time it was apparent Europe's two greatest democracies man with a torch is the man with a truth, Whether he speaks from age or from youth. His soul flies it high, and bright, And calls to the world to come to its light And never in all the long ages of time Was the world more in need of the truth sublime. Our one truth' is that the economic system under which people are struggling to exist today has served its time and will shortly pass away. The system actually is destroying itself Its two off shoots, Communism and Fascism, are at dea'h grips and will simply wipe each other off the map in every nation. Thus will the way be paved for the perfect system which will be the answer to all men's dreams and hopes. It will be a ystem that will make centralized wealth and poverty and war impossible, and under which every man, woman and child will be guaranteed an equal share of the basic products jof mother earth ; a ith no rich and no poor; with equality, seeurity, justice and peace established never more to pass away; a system under which man will at last find his soul and redeem it from all the bondage which bas kept it submerged; a system under whose truth man shall attain the ideal freedom, and become as the Psalmist says he was meant to become, ''But little lover than the angels Then shall the soul's desert places rejoice and the universal heart be glad.

(Micah 4:4.) Since it is the Lords plan to give every man an inheritance, surely the very least that man himself asn do is to msk it feasibly and reasonably possible for men to acquire a home, with farm land, too, if desired. . Why did the early settlers of Utah forge ahead so definitely and greatly, making the desert blossom as the rose, despite an indifferent and, indeed, often adverse and hostile environment? Because each family possessed a holding or inheritance. Why are the residents of Utah not making satisfactory progress today? Because they have lost their homes and farms and, under present arrangements, they cannot expand because of galling difficulties, often including mounting indebtedness. It is not incontrovertibly evident that a program where the land is restored to the people will alone make human security and progress again possible? Also, interest in connection with money should be abolished, even by special enactment, if necessary, This would mean that banks would cease to operate for private gain and would function as instruments to finance the purchase of inheritances for the people. State taxation should be based solely and only on the surplus of the people. (See Numbers 18:30.) In terms of modem society and conditions, this best involves, probably, an extended graduated state income tax. Instead of the present land tax, the farmers might be taxed according to their production in relation to the total sales value of their products in relation to the market price. Let all classes arise and pull together or, rather, there be no classes, prosperity creation being mans problem and opportunity, the momentous matter and issue being that of creating life more abundant!

What is hapr ening to her? Is she drifting away from the fine and noble moorings of the early days? What power behind the scene? is driving her to lose her spirituality, even her American ism? Who is dispossesing and impoverishing her people? What has caused her to close her Holy Bibles? Why are her churches empty and her jails full to overflowing? Why are her crime statistics so high and dangerous? Who and what is it that is teaebing her young people the doctrines of devils through lectures and certain books in all university libraries which are subversive of her best interests? Men, it is high time that we lqoked at the record and take time out to prepare to do something. The masses of poor may go on eking out a bare o existence without paying any attention to events; the and their the to on piles, people professional adding may go may go on believing that all is well. But let us tell them with all the power we have that if they do not unite and do something immediately they will suffer the saddest experience that men can suffer, and leave to their children and their grandchi'dren a struggle that may destroy them also. Th deadly enemy, working from within, has miles the start and is waiting with fiendish glee to see the fall of all the cherished institutions. It is time America crossed the Rubicon, TO LETTER NO. 3 I Supposing that mankind has by now suffered enough to thereby be rendered thoughtful and that enough of us have at last learned our lessons and are now restraining selfishness, nagging, spite, hatred, envy, impatience, worry (all mean, destructive thoughts, habits, passions) and are actually and consistently displaying faith, intelligence, courage, initiative, industry (for without this, all u simply talk or less than talk, and quite futile) then suppose, further, that, pending s national program along the same broad in , 'Make Utah program is immediately initiated? Interest on money being abolished by state of Utah legal enactment (assuming this legally possible, in reference to the nation and national banks and banking laws), suppose the banks are socialized, salaries of the officials and employees being paid out of the tax funds? Suppose that bank stocks were now sold to all citizens able to buy it? The money coming in from thia would buy out and pay off present investors in banks. When a man had bought $500 worth of bank stock, he could then be issued up to as hifdt as $5,000 credit, enough to purchase an inheritance, whether a home, a home and farm, or a stake in some valuable industry or enterprise. (Banks can issue credit up to ten times the amount of assets.) Naturally, banks should be empowered to stipulate how much and when tne credit should be given out, based on the individuals ability to pay back the money issued. Let us quit dodging, whining, blaming others or assuming a particular righteousness and probity in ourselves! Let us all pull together to make life better and increase human joy!
