Some Facts About Taxes 1933 I18 Federal Collector of Internal Revenue collected $ , 36,252 in Utah. In 1940 such collections jumped to $ 10,874, 000 Defence taxes are just beginning. It costa the stupendous sum of $14,000,000,000 a to run the government state local and federal, which isyear about $107 for every man, woman and child in the country. How does the government get this money? Out of taxes of one kind or another. The Tobacco user does some good by the use of the weed The tobacco farmers raise $200,000,000 worth of the article and this in taxed two and f times its value, amounting to $500,000,000. On an average the cigarette smoker who uses package a day pays $32.85 in taxesevery year. Washington gets about 6 cents and the state 2 cents on each package. So when every cigarette smoker pays a tax of $32. 85 for the privilege, he is doing a lot to help pay the bills. one-h&l- Industry Wanted II.

The struggle is not alone between Democracy and Totalitari anism, but the battle lines are running through .every nation of Asia, Europe, Africa, America. The struggle is between the rich and the poor; between darkness and light; between Mammon and Jesus Christ. Both Scriptural and Pyramid Prophecy have foretold these days of disappointment, disaster and Judgement. Christ predicted that man made civilisation would collapse, because it is built upon selfishness, greed end lust for power and not upon His Laws, as stated in the Bible. What has been predicted is now rapidly being fulfilled before our eyes! This is the end of the age not of the world, but the Old Order of greed and exploitation, that has been responsible for all of human misery and for every war in history. This Old Order must be destroyed before the New and Better Order can be established upon this earth. Destiny Don't Betray America to Enemies -- Fine Program -- But We demand the abolition of incomes not earned by work. Personal enrichment through war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand the ruthless confiscation of all war profits. The common interest before the self interest. Abolition of the thraldom of interest is the kernal of National Socialism. The general welfare is the supreme law. Finance shall exist for the benefit of the state. Usury and profiteering end personal enrichment: al 'the expense and to the injury of the nation shall be punishable by death. Old age must be secure The duty of the state is to provide the necessities of life and not to secure the highest possible rate of interest for capital. Hitler . Only Spiritual Can Redeem The sum of the whole matter is this, that our civilisation eannot survive materially unless it is redemed spiritually. Some other words of his would apply very aptly to the world today. Said he: There must be some real ground for the universal unrest and perturbation. It is not to be found in superficial politics or in mere economic blunders. It probably lies Wilson deep at the sources of the spiritual life of our time.

There are only 40,000 people who own anything at all of this world's goods. One man, a peer, owns 270 acres of the eity of London and the people living thereon are all tenants of serfs, working for the further enrichment of this one man. The government is called a democracy but it is controlled by an aristocracy of caste and privilege. But another system is soon to come in, as witness there now an underground gathering of 800 people hiding from the bombs.
