A poet has said : "As long as there are gardens gar-dens dirt to dig in and men who thrill in contact with the soil, life will have beauty and zest and meaning," ' How true. Hate can make a stronger case against Joshua's armies of Israel, Is-rael, or against Christianity itself, than a local book ofj deep dyed hate does against Communism. Had Russia kept the exploiting ex-ploiting profit system the capitalistic voice would have been as silent about it as it was about the rape and murder of Ethiopia, Ethi-opia, the killing of a million in Spain and five million in China. Truth and progress can never be born of hate. Look in the mirror when your hate is at fever heat. We are by no means a Communist, but strongly for truth and fair play. There is no truth truer than this: "If ye were of the world the world would love its own." Those who write with such implacable hate against Communism should remember this. And this too: ' If Communism had been as much of the world as are all the systems of exploitation, as poverty and as war are.the world would have taken it to its bosom. If it had been from the devil, as some say, it would have had no more opposition than militarism, the devil's own system, has had. God meant that every man should have a bit of mother earth upon which he might stand and say against all the world : "This do I own and here is my castle. This spot I till and feel in sa doing that I am a man, a true brother to all other men and in harmony with the divine will." We have been informed that the s ate of Utah gets more taxes from cigarettes than it gets from all its sheep and cattle That's the way the people help to pay the million dollar salary of George Wr Hill, president of American Tobacco Co. Many are attacking the cigarette evil but they don't seem to attack I it from the business and profit end because that is the Ameri can way, rugged individualism, free enterprise, etc. How could Utah exist without these taxes and the liquor taxes? The Word of Wisdom is one thing and profit is another thing, aDd there must not be too much conflict between the two. . Many of us remember with a thrill the little home we were born into, surrounded by a garden and an orchard, and the memory of that home is to us much like Adam's recollection of his Eden. There was security, there was beauty and contentment, con-tentment, happiness and peace. The influence of the growing things the sunshine and shade, the clean air and the silver dew found a way into our souls and worked for good. Instead of trying to win people by force the war makers should try to win by giving security, peace, a home of happiness and love to every family on earth. The greatest events America has ever seen are right at her doors events so tremendous that if told now they would stagger belief. All of the prophesies in the bible pertaining to the last days will be fulfilled in the 35-year period dating f rom the end of the last war in which General . Allenby captured Jerusalem from the Turks and turned it over to be mandated by Great Britain. Tbirty-five added to 1918 brings thes time to 1953, and the time between now and then will be anything but pleasant. According to the Book it will be such a time of trouble as never has been before and never will be again. Can it be that the birth pangs of the New Order will last that long. Waste I take much and give nothing of value in return. I cod-su cod-su me and destroy the fruits of the industrious and degrade the poor. I lower the standard of living, for I reduce production. product-ion. I cause contempt for the law because of my prevalence in government. I weaken and injure mankind, but strangely, it does not vigorously and increasingly fight me. Now I should, and could be destroyed, but I thrive as never before. I am an enemy of civilization. Iam waste waste of manpower, man-power, waste of substance, waste of life, waste of time. Waste! No one has a good word for me. I am tolerated everywhere. every-where. I am found in the palaces of the rich and in the hovels of the poor. I am thoroughly evil, but I have adherents even among the righteous. I cause hunger and want and open the way for pestilence and famine. I benefit no one, and injure all. Because of me nations topple and fall. I am the partner and associate of political corruption and decay. In time of war I undermine defense and cause battles to be lost. I sap ' the life blood of the nation and leave her open to despoilers CREDIT TAXATION A tax on the total private creation of public funds since the yea' of 1940 can reduce the national debt by the amount of the tax or n crease in proportion the credit of the states and nation.
