Therefor'-, the farmer must pet the price duo him for his products if he Is to moke I n living in the future To do this they j must pet together. As the farmers of L'tah raise the essentials of lit w, no! one i an compete with them, and with I i little more of the spirit of Utah first, there Is no reason whv the? can not be one of the most prosperous peoples of the state, declared the pov-ernor. pov-ernor.

BCONOMIl LOSSES, Dr. H. J Wuters delivered one of the best talks of his series of lectures lec-tures durlnp the encampment, his principal theme belnp on the preat amount of unnecessary economic waste in our countrv, due in a lari;-part lari;-part to the lack of keen business organization or-ganization in government and lark of) careful buying on the part of consum- j ers In penerul He pointed out howl this country ships her raw materials I abroad with a minimum of American labor expended on them and buys i them back In the form of manufac-1 tured products paying for a maximum 01 toreign lauor nc aiso snowoi where this same trouble existed within with-in our country cltlnp NVw Hnpland which is the Industrial center of the Vnltcd States as an example. It costs more to ship many finished product.- from New England to their place of consumption than It would cost it ship the raw materials to this same place could they be manufactur d there. CAUSE OF WASTE. A preat many of our manufacturing centers are, like New Kngland, located lo-cated where there are practlcallv no resources. This creates enormous wastes, which must bo eliminated ir our prosperity Is to continue, declared Dr. Waters. America can not llvo Indefinitely on the sale of Its raw mate-rials, while other countries are getting get-ting fat by buying th.-se materials and manufacturing them. Heretofore we have not been interested in trie organl7.atlon of our foreign trade According Ac-cording to Dr. Waters, if wo art to organize selling forces, and 811 our manufactured products, abmrni in competition with those qf other countries, coun-tries, we must have our own merchant mer-chant marine, even if a government subsidy Is necessary to accomplish r this. in conclusion. Dr Waters urged the development of Utah's resources Especially Es-pecially her iron deposits, Which should not be sold as raw material, but In the form of manufactured articles, Utah thereby receiving tho full benefit from it He also asked that we keep In mind the broad ouc-look ouc-look In Solving our local problems, which neither the email nor the larjo divisions of our government have done so far His tribute to the poo-ple poo-ple of Utah was that he was always reminded of three things when ho thought of the l'tah man. "his size, his culture and his straight forward way of looking at things." STATE OFFICERS SPEAK..
