LABOR AFTER THE WAR

Some of the brightest minds of tine
country are now working on the problem
of finding work for all the soldiers after
the war. We have been slow. in taking
up this problem. The other nations have
been working on it almost from the. start
of the war. Our readjustment from a
pacific nation to warlike one was so
sudden and startling, that it gave us lit
tie time to study this great question.
The idea of getting large numbers OF
the returning soldiers to take farms has
been much discussed, and there is great
merit in it. But this at best will take
care of only fraction Of them. Some
way must be found to secure employment
for the rest. If large part of these men
should remain idle, it would create indus
trial depression. The effect upon the
character of those unable to find work
would not be good.
1t is going to take very thorough or
ganization all over the country to accom-.
plish this work. There should be COM
mission to look after it in every state,
with representatives in every county. The
most obvious thing of course is to get the
soldier back into his old job if possible.
employers should be made to feel that
the sentiment of the community demands
that men be taken back, even if it makes
Inconvenience to other people.
There would no doubt be many cases
where soldiers could get better jobs and
fill vacancies now existing, if they could
have little vocational training or other
education. The government ought TO
make it easy for men to get needed train
ing by which they could advance. All
kinds of construction work has been so
held up by the war, that enterprises of
this kind ought to make considerable
demand for labor. If the thing is taken
hold Of Systematically, it should be posi-
BILE to put all the soldiers to work.

THE HUNS PEACE TALK

The air will be filled with peace talk
now. Our people must learn not to be
fooled by green goods and gold bricks
Germany talked to Russia last winter
just as she is talking to us today. The
Russians put forward peace talk on the
basis of "No annexations and no indem-
mites"
The lying German government, &C.
copied these terms, and agreed to make
peace without annexations and indemni-
ties. Then the wolf and the lamb got to-
gether at Brest-LitOvsk, and made a
treaty by which Germany annexed about
a third of Russian territory. Germany
also demanded a crushing indemnity,
part Of which has been paid, and is send
ing troops to control and conquer Rus
sian territory just so far as it can spare
them from the western front. Whereby
the Russian lamb lay down inside the
German lion, and they had peace-of
Kind.
1t is clearly demonstrated then, that
any promises made by the imperial Ger
man government are absolutely worth
less, and mere lies and hypocrisy. They
want peace-when they can carry off the
goods they have stolen. There is very
little chance at present that any peace
salk they put forth is sincere and honest
1t is merely subterfuge, political
trick to put the blame for further fight
ing on the allies, and satisfy their own
deluded people that they are fighting in
eef defense
No peace should be given the, Huns
until they have given up every inch of
the territory they have stolen, and with
raw every soldier from the soil Of other
nations, also they must liberate oppressed
peoples, and repair all damage done to
France, Belgium, Russia, Serbia, Rou-
mania and Italy. They will never do that
until our armies hold slice Of German
soil. These things are not sought in re-
venge, but for pure justice and t. teach
the German people that it does not pay
to start wars.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

One reason why the influenza epidem-
ic got such hold in this country is that
SO many people have wholly wrong
feeling about contagious diseases.
When scarlet fever is prevalent, there
are plenty OF people who will send chill
dren to school when they have enough Of
the disease to give it to other pupils. They
dislike SO much to be quarantined that
they will conceal the suspicious symp-
toms, until some one is really very sick
nd they get scared. Then they call the
doctor, but not until the child is in great
danger. Also he was out among children
long enough to imperil lot of others
and spread the epidemic widely.
When any such disease gets started,
and a person becomes slightly i'll with
suspicious symptoms, he should not force
himself to 60 to work. He will do much
better for himself and his employer or
his own business to take day off and
send for the doctor. If he hasn't it, day
or two rest will set him on his feet again.
If he has it, then he save giving it to a
lot of others. Also by taking it in time
his chances of getting off with only
slight attack are greatly improved. He
is likely to have much smaller doctors
bill.
Doctors are sometimes complained of
for not reporting contagious diseases
more promptly. Probably some are neg
igent. Yet the trouble is no doubt that
most physicians hate to pronounce it
contagious case until they are sure. But
the persons that have suspicious symp-
ms ought 70 u more carefully isolated.
Had this influenza epidemic been met
with adequate measures at me start,

PAIN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE AMENDMENT TO TIL
CONSTITUTION AFFECTING MINES.
Issued by the Joint Committee Of School Boards
and House Of Delegates.

Issued by the Joint Committee Of School Boards
and House Of Delegates.
Question What Is the basis Of taxation. In
the Constitution Of the State Of Utah7
Answer. Article 10. Sections and Of
the State Constitution clearly states that all
property IN the State must be assessed and
taxed at full value.
Question. Are mines assessed at full value
and II not why not?
Answer. Mines are not assessed at full
value because Of an arbitrary rule of Article
10. Section 4 Of the Constitution which pro-
vides that mines shall be assessed Mt $500 an
acre for their land for the value Of their
improvements and for the value Of their ret
proceeds. which all in all equals about 20 to
80 per cent Of full value
Question. Why was this exception placed in
the Constitution
Answer. Twenty-three years ago. at the
time Of Statehood. mine owners claimed that
mining was an infant industry and needed
special help. I'm those days the State gave
the sugar companies a bonus on sugar). More

LINCOLN'S WAY IN WAR

There are few things worth men,
tlomng as to the course of Abraham Lin
coin during the Civil war, when he was
hitting himself above all personal and
partisan considerations in the accom-
pllshment of great task which laid up-
on him the solemn duty of contributing
to unity among all the people of the UNI.
ion. : k
Lincoln did not, from the time Of his
election as President until his death.
! make party speech. In no way did he
participate in party politics He never
returned to Illinois as President, to par
ticlpate in any primary, convention on
election. He never wrote letter in be-
half OF any candidate for office. At his
instance even the Republican party adj
opted a hyphenated name in 1864. and
was called the Union-R Republican party.
He appointed staunch Democrat Secre-
tary OF War; He kept his own rivals and
critics at his council table. He gave no
consideration to any question but that of
winning the war and restoring the union.
In other words he lifted himself TO the
high level of his great duty and oppor
tunity, and by his own self-forgetfulness

The Bolshevih idea Of government was
to put the incompetents in charge of pro-
perty, the, ignoramuses in control of gov
eminent and the traitors in charge of ma
tional interests. The theory has long
been advanced, both by high brows and
low brows, that this ought to be done,
but this is the first time we have seen
the thing tried.-National Republican.

One of the strange anomalies of the
war is that three days after the sinking
OF the Lusitania the President made a
public speech in which he said that the
nation was too proud to fight, but when
the American soldiers go "over the top,
they go shouting the name of the ship
that was sunk two years before we en-
tered the war.
