I To bo picpiucd for any emergency, emer-gency, whether It be mllltnri), In-duiitrlal In-duiitrlal or economic, Is a proper function of statecraft. It Is therefore with sincerity and consistency that, I call your attention to tho present economic condition which prevails throughout tho world, with tho desire de-sire and solicitation that tho people or Utah glvo thbughtrul consideration considera-tion to tho problem as It affects this State. No mio man group of men is responsible re-sponsible for the pnscnt condition. It Is tho natural aftermath or that gigantic struggle which threatened to cnguir civilization. Wo aro In tho process or recovery, which can bo made easier by tho application of Individual Intelligent cfrort. In viewing tho unemployment situation generally It Is to be noted that Utah fnrcs much better than mnny other states, for which much credit Is duo tho local business and Industrial lenders of our Great Commonwealth. Com-monwealth. While wo aro to be congratulated con-gratulated on this point, and thsro Is no cnuso for alarm, there rests upon each one of us a serious obligation obli-gation to do our indlviunl share In providing Immediate relief for thoso who are In distress as a result of unemployment and co-operate In finding a way to complete restoration restora-tion to normal economic conditions. It Is therefore with a gonulno do-slre do-slre to minimize unemployment that I address myself to the people or Utah through Mayors or towns, County Commissioners, civic organ I- 'rations and tho press, asking them to approach the problem In each community, providing such rellet measures as may seem most effective effec-tive In each circumstance. This Is n problem for all tho- peb-ple, peb-ple, and ?"ur counsel, suggestions and support aro earnestly solicited. With tho hope that .by mutual er-fort er-fort a State wldo plan will bo evolved evol-ved through which efrectlvo resultH may bo accomplished, I am transmitting trans-mitting to you tho following suggestions sug-gestions and recommendations, asking ask-ing that thoy bo observed If round merl'orlous: -. FIRST: Pooplo at present aro cur- . tailing Investments. Tho leasons are obvious. However, money will rind Us way back Into circulation follow-, Ing tho Irrevocable economic law. ' Men cannot bo crltlclzer tor watching their possessions cnrotully under ox-, Istlng conditions. Tho Inducement to invest must coma from without. SECOND: Wherever an Industr is operated upon n 12, 18 or 21-Ihour 21-Ihour basis, and It Is possible so to do1, shlfiB should bo divided bo ns to provide employment ror the-groates possible number. THIRD: In Institutions wheiu boys or girls aro employed and such employment can bo carried on equally as woll by men or women with dependents, a careful Investigation Investi-gation or tho necessities or each on should be inado and where It Is determined de-termined that he or Bhe is not required re-quired to woik ror a livelihood a man or fumlly or a woman who Jin's dependents should be substituted. FOURTH: Where reaslblo and If found necessary, observe a system ot rotation in employment of jour peo-plq. peo-plq. In order that all may have an opportunity to earn something toward to-ward meeting living domnifds. It t well, too, for emplojein to have first hand Infoimntlon on tho home conditions con-ditions ot their employees as far n possible. This will cicato'a sympathetic sympa-thetic relationship between employer and employee. FIFTH: Let us all boar In mind wo aro In a period of readjustment It In rut lie to attempt to Impose change out or keeping wl h piewm conditions Prlcon of coiiintodjtb and tho warm, lo bo paid are tho subject for most enrotnl thought nnd thn jOnes nf fueled nhould bear In mind that tha era of extravagance nnd speculation are over, we m j now down to serious thinking nn'' sober action, cndeavotlng to build, on J a solid fpundalion. SIXTH: Homo owners contem-plating contem-plating Improvements may find tem-j poraiy employment for many of the mpst deserving applicants. Where i funds arc available for private or public enterprises and where condl-! tlons Justify, such work should bo! started. " It will stimulate employ-, incut and overcome a tendency toward to-ward del.v' and consequent stagna-, don. 1 SEVENTH: Each community! should deal as a unit with its own i , 'pioblems. Some may decide to ea-. itabllsh an a convenient clearing house wheio uneiAploycd may regis-, Ur and where those who can flit I iiluli employment may make the tact known. 1 EIGHT: Pc6plo who nie Mincin-plojed Mincin-plojed should nof ledre their home towi until they liavo exhausted all means at their command to" find einplojment where thoy live. Thcio Is too often a disposition on tho pan of thoso temporarily out or enipltv-ment enipltv-ment to'Hoek the lnlgtr centers. This adds only to tho peiplexlty of tho situation and Increases the al read unwieldy ttnuslcnt population i . In conclusion this point may be einphaBircd: Work, honest work, and a sympathetic lolatlon between ' men scorns to bo tho need or tho hour Utnh Is happy and fortunate ' Indeed, nnd It Is saro to predict that i by caiotul thought and prompt action ac-tion on the part ot all our citizens vve shall emerge Lnfely Into an era or confidence and business mid Industrial In-dustrial icvtval.
