Every Mormon owes his first and
only real allegiance to the Mormon
church. The Mormon church is .
vast religio-business-political organ
ization. Along with its many othe::
activities it conducts an immigratio:,
and colonization bureau. The propoi

part of the purpose of the institu,

control the politics and business OF
every section where it once secures a
foothold In manipulating politics
and controlling business it is the mos
successful church organization in the
world From a Mormon standpoint
he State immigration Commission

the money appropriated by the State

channels in getting Mormon immi-
grafton.

IS to build up strong Mormon com
nunities. They do not want weak,
struggling churches scattered througl
out the country. They send theft
missionaries to a southern state for

The next step is to locate those con-
verts in Utah, Idaho or some othet
place where their community is
strong. Now do you see how nicely
he Idaho immigration Commissioner
