Show PROGRESSIVE OPINION Where Does Ore Go? SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT Politics ia a Trojan Horse, according to the Utah Taxpayers Association. They report that one Utah eounty office paid $3.65 for 500 clerk's receipts in 1938, and for the same numb er exactly the same, it paid $9.65 in 1939. Another item was purchased for $2.85 in 1938, and purchased in 1939 for $6.25. Small items these, but run through every office in the country and they multiply into millions wasted every year.

Alfred Sorensen , Progressive JEWELER r f . . , , It strongly appears that money ia destined to loose its value in terms of trade. . What, value will this give to our billions of buried goldT In the fvent of its value vanishing, will it be used to.paye the streets in fulfillment of biblical prophecies? but a system of oommodity exchange is far from being ideal. So if world events are forcing a change in our monetary sjratem, why not make the change complete by, doing away with a media of change and adopt a new system a social economy? Because auchit system has hqvfr been used, does pet say that it could not be a success. All things must, have a beginning, a first time to be used. Social economy is a system of service, a system through .w.hici,ejich person, can obtain lifers necessities and comfort without first converting his efforts into money or. commodities. Then man and his services will be the things of importance in the world not money. j . A system of managed economy has succeeded in financing wars in nations previously in a state of bankruptcy, because they made commodities their media of exchange in the place of money. That wae their solution to the money question. When they had no money they used commodities, which they could prpdiice, in exchange for the things they needed. Now that th,ese nations are in control, directly or inderictly, of three fourth of the nations of the world, commodities are gradually supplanting money, as the exchange media in world commerce. If this tendency continues, and nothing can stop it so long as those nations maintain theiy positions of dominance, money will ere long cease to be a factor in international Erode. No longer holding the position of importance in the trade between nations, how long can money continue as a factor in the trode within a nation? Franklin D. Roosevelt has done more forthe power. consumers of America than all the other Presidents combined up to this time. When we came into power, only about 10 per cent of the farm home of Americahad electricity; they were around the big cities. .We were lagging behind every other nation on earth. England, FranceGennany, Norway, Speden, Belgium and Denmark before the war, all had .90 percent of their farms electrified,, JSolland apd Switxerlind had approximately 100 percent of their farms electrified while we had only 10 percent. Someone laid tiie other day in answer to that statement, that thoae wen thickly fettled countries. That is no answer; New Zealand, a new and sparsely. settled country where the ...farms are few and far between, had 65 per cent oi lier farms eiectri- fied 4 years ago. Now. since we have gone into this struggle, we kave electrified 20 percent more, something like 2.060,000 farm homes. Ip. a few short years the utility Interests have 'taken from us $30,000,000,000; and if we pussefopt this issue we might as well not nominate a ticket; they would take thirty billions more in the next 20 years. Besides, they have absolutely ignored rural electrification. The more I study the history of the world, the more I am convinced of the inability of brute force to create anything durable. Thus spoke Napoleon Bonaparte, at St, Helena, the greatest soldier of his age. No house can stand, no kingdom can endure Built on the crumbling rock of Nothing is Living Stone, nothing is sure, That is not whitened in the Social Fire. Edwin Markham.
