the great campaign as asa asa a moral measure so I that Independence Industry thrift and I I self respect should be once more established established I among our people In the early of cf the West We t the Mormons set up bishops bis bishops bishops hops' hops storehouses The pioneers paid tithes In butter eggs potatoes grain honey or whatever their farms produced These tithes in kind were assembled in warehouses and the bishop dispensed them to those In need With prosperity the system s stem fell felt Into desuetude tithes were paid wholly in money montY With the depression the Mormons at first accept accept- accepted ed the governments government's method of dealing with the emergency They are taxpayers and and in large areas of or the West the principal taxpayers taxpayers so so they took tax benefits they let the government support sup sup- support support port their needy But as time went on the church lead lead- leadra ra disturbed they investigated and found that in their
