"Poverty is India's curse.

We tell this because we are against it, india, in America and everywhere else We denounce those everywhere who through excessive interest and profit rob the poor and create poverty. Those money lenders in Iudia are as much enemies of mankind and freedom as the worst elements in Japan and Germany and are beyond the pale of redemption. "Human greed and selfishness have brought us to our present sorry plight, industrial and commercial development has been so rapid, so all engrossing, that it has outstripped and stultified our moral and spiritual development. i It is t he honest and unqualified opinion of this paper that the voters should vote NO on that part of the ballot wnich aims to tax the Chain Stores out of the state.

Freedom from lack, that is, assurance of the abundant life for every citizen is a high and worthy goal It is nobly conceived, but up to date bus been ignobly carried out. The millions of underprivileged should shame the governments, l democracies or monarchies, which, notwithstanding all their ' opportunities for rescue have on the other hand provided and Eupported policies to enrich the few with a plethora of material possessions, while the masses continued in abject poverty. "A world half prosperous and half poverty-stricken could no tiore be a stable world than a world half slave and half free Phelan. The one and only remedy for this condition is an awake" ning on the part of the proletariat to their inherent rights: that the demands of true brotherhood be recognized, and the deternrnation to see to it tliat these demands are instrumented, be carried out through the government established of, for, and by the people. The Negroes and share-croppers of the South, the impoverished workers of the teeming centers of Great Britain, the primitive peoples of the various Colonial possessions posses-sions cry to heaven for release from both fear and want. How plain it is that no government can or will solve the tremendous problems facing humanity except through recog- nition of and obedience to the divine Will. ' We tell the following because we devoutly? wishjfand prayer that such a condition may come about. Extreme inequality in -wealth and possessions should be abolished. Every child regardless of race or class, should have equal I opportunities of education suitable for the development of his peculiar capacities. The family as a social unit must be safeguarded. The sense of a divine vocation must be restored to man's ; daiywork. lipij ! The resources of the earth should be used as God's gif ts to the whole human race, and used with due consideration for the needs of the present and future generations, i I ' Among the ancient inhabitants of the American continent. ! a people called Nephites lived the United Order for a period ( of 200 years, and the results they obtained could never, worlds without end, be attained under private ownership. They had all property in common. There were no rich and no poor, no bondsmen and slaves. All were made free, and all were made partakers of the "heavenly gifts," or the abundant physical and spiritual life. There were no contentions among them because the love of their fellows was in their hearts. There were no envyings nor strifes, nor tumult, nor sexual sins nor murders. The record says there could not be a happier people ! among all the people created. They were blessed and prosper- I ed in all their undertakings. They did mighty works, rebuilt ; ruined cities and even wrought miracles because when the I economic burden was lifted they had the spiritual power to do works like unto those performed by the Master. Such a state of life can be attained under the United Order but never under capitalism. It is because of the great inequality in the present system that the whole world lieth in sin. i Strenuous efforts are being made to show that the economic econ-omic system known hereabouts as the United Order is to be based on individual ownership. We do not believe it. If a system is to do what is promised that this system will do in its perfected state, there can never be individual or private ownership own-ership of the earth's natural resources,of the means ot product- ion and distribution. If there is then none of the present day I evils of the old decrepit, dying capitalistic system will be done away with. Greed, lust for power, envy jealousy, covet-eousness covet-eousness poverty, war, and the few living in luxury while tha many are in want, will continue as heretofore. Of course people will own their homes and household goods, etc., but everything else will be OURS and not MINE. The Order spoken of has on three different occasions brought those living it as near to human perfection as possible. |
