Instead of blasting the Axis la the uniform of the United States Army, 4000 soldiers have doffed the khaki in favor of rough working clothes and are now working in western mines to make the tools with which their former buddies will blast the axis. The Army has furloughed the 4000 men in uniform to return to their former occupation as workers in the mines. The loss of miners to the armed forces and other de-fense industries early in 1942 threatened to impair the war effort, as production of vital copper, lead and zinc began to lag. Of the 2500 men furloughed by the Army, approximately 1000 are now working in Utah mines while the remainder went to metal producers in surrounding states. While more men could be used in this vital in-dustry, the number released has relieved a desperate situati n and production is once again on the up-trend. Blasting ore is Just aa important as blasting the axis direct, because without the metals from the mines from which the tools of war are wrought, the soldiers at the fronts would be helpless. The need is for more and more metals and every encouragement should be given to the mines and the workers in the mines. ...EDITORIALS CONTINUED..! Leaders, Rulers, Follow Lincoln's Example Every ruler and every leader in the world would do well in the pres-ent crisis to follow the example set by Abraham Lincoln. It is said of him that in every one of the great crises of his life he was on his knees in pray-er for guidance and that the Bible was daily in his hand. He said himself 'hat in the darkest days of the war he literally lived on his knees. And his prayers were not mere lip service. He had at his heels at every step all the heartless critics trying to break him down. But he was constantlv forgiv-ing them and praying for victory. He said: "I prayed to God for victory and He told me He would give me Gettysburg." Better emulate him. The Truth About It . A. O. Miller. (The following is literally true and t' ose who believe it should keep on preaching and writing it. Ed) Much has been said and written about the post war world, and many suggestions made that would elevate and benefit mankiud, give men anil women higher ideals and a better world. The Lord has been trying to teach His children for nearly six thousand years the way of lifn and salvation, but people have given little heed to His laws and oem and mints. Now the time has come when the fulfillment of the prophesies made of old is coming to pass, when all things will be made new and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. The Lord will not stand any longer for the inhumanity, greed and self-ishness of His children toward one another. Now, let me say this to all, even prelates, priests, profes-sors, lawyers, educators, scientis's and leaders of any of the existing churches: WHO CAN SET IN ORDER THIS STORM TOSSED WORLD? Not one of them. We often hear talks by commentators on radio and forums, but behind them all is the capitalistic thought and system, which is the only "saving" point they can bring out. As long as this system is tolerated there cannot be peace. The time is at hand for a new order. God's will must prevail on earth as in heaven. But first, the inhabitants must be taught by suffering, by bloodshed, by famine and pestilence, that He is the Ruler of the universe. After He has shown His hand the people will be glad to accept and obey the ju.--t Lawgiver, His Son, Jesu Christ The Devil Is Not That Foolish There are those who say that the Devil set up Commun. ism as a counterfeit of the Lord's economic plan. We do not believe he is quite that foolish when he already owns and con-trols the capitalist system which has been diametrically op-posed to and fighting the Lord's plan ever since Nimrod set it up. Yes, the capitalistic system, with all due credit for all the good it has done, has been his very own from the beginning. He o ns its kings and princes, its financial systems, its armies and navies, and its commercialism. This is the system he of-fered to give Jesus when he tempted him. This is the system with which he scourges mankind, brings on all wars, creates all povery and all sin, and with which he has kept humanity away from the vision and the kingdom. Why should he change? He is not that foolish. He's doing mighty well for himself, but God help bis victims the people. PERSONAL J. A, Hess and thousands of others are demanding a change in the Primary eleetion law so it will give people real franchise Our faithful Neighbor and Friend Carl B. Pedersen of Og-de- n send? down a new subscrip tion which he solicited from a good man, Mr. S. Norman Lar-son, and he adds: "We read your wonderful paper from cov-er to co er." How w wish we could really convince the so " railed upper classes of all the genuine goodness thar. there is in the hearts of the common people. Friend Dr H.F. Syndergaard has moved to 421 Ness BlJg Friend and Neighbor John Olsen of Salina called in one day last week to renew acqain-tanc- e and to subscribe for the paper.

Geo E Manwaring The following exerpt from an editorial from a newspaper which has fought compensation for "long and meritorious ser-vice" i. a eyeopener. Quote: "Most people will agree that retirement programs in the main are good, where they reward long and meritorious service." Then the writer gives us a picture of the probable earnings of a retiring patrolman at age of 60. Assuming that he goes to work for the state at 37 and works until 60 and at 175 00 per month, the retiring patrol-man is entitled to $87.50 per month for the rest of his life. Well, he draws $48,000.00 in the 23 years of service and is gi-- en the benefit of a hundred and one special services free that you and I don't get, and he doesn't even have to be a tax payer! After We have taken care of him in employment for 2S years, then We take care of him the rest of his life, and we give him, too, nearly three times the amount we give a life-time resident, the old age Pensioner with a good many more years OF MERITORIOUS SERVICE to his credits-- A pen-sion is a pension, no matter who gets it. Or is it? As It Was In Lincoln's Day So It Is Today Here is what happened in Lincoln's time and the same, or similar, is happening in cities today, even in congress, and also much nearer home. A minister, Peter Cartwright, friendly and near to Lincoln, was invited to the famous Harper dinner given to the big business men in the Metropolis He sat un-ti- ll time for the last course and asked to be excused. They begged him to stay. Arising to go he made a short speech. We cannot publish it all but here is the best of it. He heard noth-ing but destructive criticism and vilification of the president: "If I had known 1 would meet such a nest of Tories and Traitors here, I would not have put my legs under your table. My father was a Revolutionary soldier and I have kept most sacred my faith and loyal devotion to the priceless legacy of these United States left me by my patriot father. I know what a united country is worth to us now and what is to be its future if we remain united, At the same time I see with horror the huge hell of jealousy and discord that will be open-ed within our country if enemies succeed in rending t(ie Union-You- , their sympathizers, are accomplishing as much for these enemies as if you were fighting in their ranks. Why stand ye here, idle critics? May God send patriotic light into our stingy souls! 1 proclai m to you the sentiment uttered by the great Webster: "Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparale." And its patriotic companionship uttered by St. phenA. Douglas: "There are now but two parties patriots and traitors." I remained a Democrat until Ft. Sumpter was fired on. Then I knew no party but my country and president.1 ' UTAH MAY BECOME TUNGSTEN MINING CENTER ( was closed to transportation of Allied Nations by Japanese invas-- 1 ion, a considerable part of the flow of tungsten ores to the United States was cut off. Consequently development of the lower grade deposits in Western America be-came necessary, to augment that already produced here. Tungsten is used in the manu-facture of heavy armor piercing projectiles, and naturally the de-mand has increased many times since the outbreak of the war. Whether or not this industry will remain in Utah after the war, de-pends entirely upon future develop-ments and demand for the metal. However, the huge initial Invest-ment for the plant has been made and every effort should be con-tinued to have it one of Utah's thriving industries of the future. Utah will undobutedly become the center of a tungsten development that is rapidly speading throughout western states, as the result of ef-forts to meet United States' war requirements of this vital metal. Stimulus to the program is being provided by establishment" in Salt Lake valley of a plant for the treatment of tungsten ores and concentrates originating in western United States and by the recent rise in the price of newly mined metal from $24.00 to $30.00 per unit. The Utah plant is being built by the Defense Plant Corporation for the United States Vanadium Corpo-ration and it will be operated by the latter concern. Erected at a cost of nearly a half million dollars, the unit is scheduled to be ready for operation early in 1943.

Looks to Tomorrow 'TpOMORROW'S farmers and farm homemakers are second to no school group in their enthusiasm for investing in War Bonds and Stamps to make sure their future is secure. Through the Schools At War program they are investing what they save and earn in War Stamps and Bonds. First evidence of this is the amount the Club boys and girls and the FFA boys invested in war savings in 1942 from "Victory Pig" and other projects. A million and a half Club members put $6,000.-00- 0 of their own savings in War Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500,-00- 0 worth of War Savings to their neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil-lion members of Future Farmers of America invested more than Spurred by the realization that the financial welfare of farm fami-lies the next 20 years depends on how wisely they use today's higher incomes from increased food and other wartime production, both groups have set their goals still higher for 1943. These farm youths are building financial reserves, and urging their parents to do the same, for after-the-w-necessities, to meet finan-cial emergencies and to help them get started in college. They're building reserves today for tomorrow's farm buildings and for the other things they will need when they're tomorrow's farmers and homemkers. Good Greater Than Evil The state of the world is anything but good. The war, the poverty, the distress, the moral breakdown, the spiritual darkness are appalling. But everyone must always remem-ber that the good within all things is far greater than any-thing that may appear on the surface; and that this greater good will finally rule the world. When this good is to come and reign supremely in our poor world will depend entirely on the people That which is good and fine and superior within the heart of man is always ready to come forth and do its work whenever man is ready to receive it. Whatever may come should be met with the thought that the good within man and all things is still greater. The great things without to which men give themselves are very insignificent in com-parison with the things within if properly brought out and de-veloped All the ills in the world may be cured it all people would use their sou! force bring out the powerful good with-in The hard world would change. Life's paths would be smoother. Universal kindness would reign, and all would be inspired to greater thoughts, greater deeds and a greater life. njgjra IF YOU WANT 0. K.

C Approximately 50,000,000 Ameri- - f can workers began to make an added contribution to the $ War cost this month in the form of a 5 Victory tax. For many millions of Americans the Victory tax and the 1943 income tax are the first direct levies to be made by the Government to meet the staggering War costs. And it will take both . . . taxes and War Bonds ... to provide the sup-- . plies and materials to win the War and the peace afterwards. were roughly 2.5 billion dollars, leaving 73.5 billion dollars of dis-posable income. During 1943 total income payments are expected to rise to 125 bilUon dollars and total personal taxes under existing reve-nue legislation will be 15 billion dol-lars leaving 110 billion dollars of income at our disposal as against only 73.5 billion dollars in 1940. In 1943 Mr. Average American will still be carrying a much lighter tax load than his Canadian or English brothers-in-arm- In Great Britain total national and local taxes paid by individuals at present amount to 31 percent of the national income. In Canada, total individual taxes amount to 25 percent of the national income. In the United States, total personal taxes, Federal, state and local, will amount in 1943 to 18 per-cent of national income. Our Eng-lish allies invest an additional 10 percent of national income in War savings. Our Canadian allies invest an additional U percent of national income in War savings. We Ameri-cans, to match the record of our Ca-nadian neighbors, would have to in-vest this year 20 percent of our na-tional income in War savings. To match the English record we would have to invest 23 percent of national income in War savings. U. i. Treasury Department jji' The Treasury Department esti- - mates that the Victory tax will raise 4 approximately $2,000,000,000. Every Person receiving more than $12 per week must pay the Victory tax upon Uiat part of his income over and W above the $12. For example, a mar--I fied man with a salary of $50 per week, with two dependents, would t make only a net payment of $1.06 J, Per week after allowance for post-- J War credit ,D The Government has made every , effort to make the impact of the 5 ne tax as light as possible. The 1 law, in effect, provides that in the case of married persons whose sole income is from wages or salary, 40 Percent of the Victory tax paid (up y to a maximum of $1,000) plus 2 per-:,- f cent for each dependent (up to a j maximum of $100) may be used as i a credit against whatever Federal mcome taxes the individual may owe 7 t the end of the year provided he I has purchased certain War Bonds, or paid old debts or paid life insur-ance premiums equal to the amount of this credit. In the case of single persons this credit will be 25 percent of the Victory tax paid (up to a maximum of $500). Should the Vic-tory tax credit exceed the individu-al's Federal income tax, the unused portion of the credit may be refund-able to the taxpayer. Even with the Victory tax, the 1943 income tax. and all other taxes paid by individuals, the average American will have more money with which to buy War Bonds than he has ever had before. Here are the statistics which explain that statement: In 1940 the total income payments made to the American people amounted to about 76 billion dollars. In that same year the. total personal taxes paid, Federal, State and local, What An Awful Price We Are Paying! How our heart bleeds for the hosts of boys and girls of Am-erica who, because of the system that keeps the who e world in fin, a e caught in the mammoth crime wave that shames this Christian nation. Those in authority can see the results but uot the causes as their vision is obsured by the dollar, which has let the nation down morally and spiritually. 55.7 more girls under 21 were arrested last year than in 41; boys 17.1 more; girls under 21 for prostitution and commercialized vice increased 64 8; sex offenses 104 7; drunkeness 38 9; etc. Last year there were 99,000 juvenile delinquencies in one city! In that city all men are rushing like mad just to get rich. Too many people are like John Dillingey's father, 'too busy making profits at the store to look after Johnny." Oh men! Today its the ninety and nine that are lost in the desert and only the one who is safe Each state should have 1000 mis-sionaries who could go among these youths, not so much with creeds but with love and kindness, with smiles and good will, wil hcomradeship and compassion, toucl ing hands and touching hearts with these youths and pave them If we had money we would start such a movement.
