UtA J;::: FoodlF()RTlhioiLiiM Plan Continued to do is render services which are assigned to us. We may as well understand from the start that there won't possibly be any difficulty with all the machines we now have, and will make in the future, that all men can have an opportunity to slave at manual labor as long hours as we have done in the past ; and why should we ? The machine has come as a blessing to mankind. Wouldn't it be nice to have the man spend a little more time with this family, helping the wife to raise the children, and play with them when they are small and help to teach them about this new Brotherhood of Man, of which we are now all members ? "No," says one, "we have the old adage, the divine decree that man must eat his bread in the sweat of his brow." That settles it. Just a minute; let us analyze this decree. In Gene-sis 3:17-1- 9 we read: "When Adam broke God's command-ment the Lord CURSED the ground for man's sake and said : "In sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life, thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee. In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread." We all accept and believe that Adam actually did this all of his life, but we don't do it so much now as we used to.. I remember well, only forty years ago, how I, along with others had to swing the scythe cutting grain from 8 o'clock, in the morning until 8 o'clock at night, and the women and boys following, binding the grain, and since we usually sat down on the ditchbanks to eat our meals, we did eat our bread in the sweat of our face, but we don't do it that way any more; we have machines doing it for us and no one objects. Who would object if the Lord in His kindness, since His knowledge has in the last hundred years or so begun to cover the earth, has chosen to permit a gradual lifting of the curse which compelled man to slave and eat his bread in the sweat of his brow? Of course, man still has to make machinery but with the help of the machines in all branches production, it will not take all man's toime to produce abundance of all commodities, so we will have more : home to improve ourselves, our homes and surrounding w while we are on the subject of less working hours, ( k to the curse through which man was compelled to iard that he could not have time even to "cool" off bt ing his bread: What do we think about the curse a, to remain forever over man? I don't believe that, as the scriptures tell us that "all things shall be restored as they re in the beginning." Now, if the curse was to be lifted at some future time, : how would we expect it to take place? Do we look for neavenly messenger to come and take it away? Would it i; be more reasonable to think that now since the Lord has His knowledge in a degree cover the earth and man par-ing of that knowledge has been able to produce labor-ing implements in all lines of production ; we may oppose even ridicule all this ; the fact remains the curse is being utted. Because a man doesn't slave every day from daylight to dark, sixteen hours, that is no sign that he should be idle he would not want to be; ti takes time to think, it takes time to write, it takes time to enjoy life which we should do since man is that he may have joy. It also takes time to think out new ways, to improve production so that our stand-ards of living may be raised, or do we think that we have reached the limit of living standards ? Possible some of us have but that does not help those who have not. I know of people who are now getting old who have slaved from twelve to sixteen hours a day all their lives, raised big families, who are high-clas- s citizens, but they have nevei had a bathroom in their house. Who can say that they arc not entitled to one? That is insr nno ovamhlo Now if you have read thus far, you will say: "How can there be progress without the incentive of bettering one's own condition?" Then, is it a high incentive to strive for one's own aggrandizement which must be at the expense of someone less able? Then, it goes without saying, that it would be a higher incentive to strive for the betterment of all. Why wouldn't the esteem and good will, not to say love of, say one hundred and thirty million people? Why wouldn't that do for an incentive? I read in the Readers' Digest an article which says: "Human nature don't jibe with social-ism." That appears to be correct does it not? But, I say it is misleading. It should have said "Human nature, molded by education to fit the profit system, does not jibe with socialism." That is correct. At one time I was in a meeting, and the system cooperative stores,, mills and factories as they exist in Sweden was discussed, and one who professed to know something about cooperatives spoke and said : "That has been tried her but you can't make any money that way." That is the very thing it is supposed to prevent because if someone goes richer someone else must result. g-- poorer, as a Now, let it be understood that we don't harbor anv ill will against the rich, against the Jews, or any other capital- ist no, by all means, no! They are the ones who have made a success of the system that you and I accept and work under, should I say, approve? No, we put up with it, and try to make the best of it, but people that think cannot advocate it for the future. What would become or the rich? We have said that we have no hard feelings towards them, that is true, we do not; they are rich because our system made them such. But since under the new system their riches would have no value, they would have to be educated to become useful in the new society so as to render service hke the rest of us ; they have become rich because the power that goes with money' is the incentive in our education, the highest incentive known to the majority, and no higher will be known until it is taught, and we are afraid to teach it because it will upset our present law of the jungle. To the thinker it is plain that it is impossible to outlaw war by force since war is nothing but one of the functions of our present system, it must and will occur and reoccur as long as the system prevails. This is an endless subject, but I must close for now, and do so in the hope that some of the ideas expres- sed may at least be worthy of criticism, if not of opposition. Your friend, C S. F.

WAR RESTRICTIONS on TELEPHONE SERVICE The War Prrxlnct.on Board recently Iggriea a order further restricting the use by telephone com-poni- es of materials essential to the war effort. The order generally forbids additions to our plant, except for service required in the war effort or for public health and safety. R directs that only a minimum of materials may be used in connecting new telephone ' vith facilities now in place. It orders much wider use of party line service. Also restricted are new installation, of residence extensions, and the order forbids the re-placement of any equipment except when required for the efficient operation of the service. The application of these restrictions vill nn. doubtedly mean inconvenience for some people an of the price of protecting our liberty but we ask your fullest cooperation, for the restrictions will mean that more lead, iron, steel, zinc, copper and rubber used ia telephone equipment will now go into arms. We pledge our continuing effort to keep onr servJoi up to the highest possible standard.

Utah is. possessed of vast metal-lic and resources, some of which have been developed partially and others which have not been developed at all. Today as never before capital is on the march, seeking out new resources and new places to establish new Industries. It is during such emergencies as the present that many industries move to new locations. Many re-main only so long as the emer-gency exists. But if a state or locality is forward in making in-ducements for these industries, their chances of making them permanent are greater than if they do nothing at all. Due to its vast stores of natural resources, Utah is in a unique posi-tion to gain much from the current movement. Morever, its strategic location is unparalleled any place in the United States. It is really gratifying to see Utah's public of-ficials grasp the situation as they have and take advantage of the great industrial mobilization. The development o f Utah's alunite deposits is but one of the many industrial developments, brought about by the emergency, but which may become a permanent established enterprise for the state. While the plant, which will be de-signed primarily for Marysvale, Utah alunite, it will also treat clays and low grade bauxites from other sections as a custom mill. The plant will cost $2,000,000 and is designed to produce 100 tons of alumina daily. The Marysvale de-posits carry 20 to 35 per cent alumina, 10 to 20 per cent potas-sium sulphate and 20 to 35 per cent sulphuric acid. About 100 men will be employed at the plant and mines in Utah. |
