It ia so ordained in the Soriptures, and yet ehurch members and all the rest ignore this fact every day of their lives. Every man and woman's relation to other members of society is wrong and unchristian, but how few realise it. Such a relation as now exists between all members of society makes it impossible for anyone to live a true Christian life. A study of Christian economies will convince any fair minded person that what is said here is absolute truh. When the human race learns to trust its Maker and the Divine law, instead of man made laws, civilisation will be saved, and not before. Divine law is the Creator's way of doing things, and He creates human beings to sojourn on the earth, that Divine law, Spiritual Causation, may be used by the people to produce everything needed on the esrth for the use and sepr ice of all the people, instead of just a few, as ia now the case e under laws man-mad- George Bernard Shaw says, "If I were a woman I would not bring a child into the world unless I was guaranteed 110,000.

I Expenses of Tax Commission Almost Staggers Belief. Citisena should know the coat of their city, county, state and national government, especially in these days of raising of salaries, pyramiding expenses, and the extravagant expenditures which are leading toward the abyaa of bankruptcy If things keep going aa they are going at present in the publio buildings of this state you will shortly find yourself dispossessed and you and your children homeless in a land you have redeemed. The State Tax Commission is, in a way, the "Lordliest" of all the commissions, and the statutes have made it almost all powerful. It costs the people as much as it once cost to run all the states affairs. It requires so much office rpacethat it overflows from 2 floors into the hallways and could almost use a whole floor of the Capitol building. It now requires at least five times as much space as formerly. It now requires more workers than all departments on;e bad. It has 185 employees, two or three times as many as it had in the twenties The taxes have more than doubled in the past few years and if things continue as tbeyare this one commission will have to have all the space in the building and willho'd the atate in the hollow of it hand. The Utah State Tax Commission is made up of four men, Irvin Arnovits, chairman; Roacoe( E Hammond, J William Knight, and Howard P. Leatham. Each of these receives a salary of 4,200;0j a year. An allowance of 18,000 is made for travel expenses in 1940, which is an increase of 2,000 00 ower 1939. 79,265.50 is allowed for office expenses over and above the salaries and wages : which is 1 9,000 00 more than was allowed in 1939. The cost of office equipment for 1940 is 7,500 and the cost for 1940 license examinations is 11,000.00. The expenses of maintaining this department have more than doubled since 1631. The Commission employs a. small army of 185 people whose salaries range as follows: 7 receive 150 a month 4 Com'n 16,800 a month . I - i ) . :l ! ' ,1 I , . i people. Do it today. Read Truth About Perfect Cooperation, Insurance, paga 4 U.S. Opinion Has for Public Ownership of all Electric Power Crys-talize- d Gov. Lehman of New York Is Poinitng the Way The total salaries and wages of the Commission for 1939 am ounted to 269,583.92 which is raised to 279,550.00 for 1940, and some 33,000 above 1938. Adding to this the office expense the travel, equipment and examination expense we have a total of 396 28T 00. Add to that the appropriation to the commission from the motor and gas and saies and use taxes, a mere 407,575.00, which makes a grand total of 893,892.00 which we pay for a tax commission.
