set of circumstances Governor Henry Blood accepts the only open course in summoning the members of the Utah legislature to extraordinary session to make state Social security legislation conform to that of the federal government Whatever criticism may attend the action should devolve Upon the Washington administration 5 The Washington program precipitatedly launched calle4 for summary action on the part of the states Little if any choice was left to the states in the formulation of social security programs The federal government adopted a program in which the states might participate Failure or refusal to participate in the federal program would invoke penalties which would prove expensive to the state its employers and their employes Under this setup the disconcerting annoyance and expense of pecial assembly could be only by the acceptance of the Impending penalties The federal law requires Utah employers with those of -other states to contribute 1 per cent of their payrolls from January 1 1936 collectible January 1 1937 Next year the tax will be 2 per cent and in 1938 3 per cent The Utah law in its present form' calls for a state payment of 3 per cent Without graduations Under the federal law employers are granted a refund of 90 per cent of the amount paid under the federal tax in those states where the law parallels the federal statute Otherwise the full tax would be retained by the federal government The Inescapable position of the state is readily discernible Governor Blood has taken the only bourse which would peaceably preserve their rights in the matter At the same time the action promises a saving in the earlier payments mder the state law Without this special session the Utah law would be out of line with the federal statute and those affected would be subject to the penalty arbitrarily imposed The only redress or relief which might be expected would have to come from the courts Even yet this may be a logical development in the social security ambition The federal course by no means is accepted Its constitutionality is questioned and a legal encounter is to be expected All of this however is beyond the power of the state government to control or direct So it "is that Governor Blood accepted the least disturbing course when he called the special session The governor wisely has declared that no other emergency exists and that no other matters may he properly considered This is desirable assurance to the public which dreads legislative sessions regular or extraordinary because it cannot anticipate the ultimate result Legislative sessions in the past have been a source of public concern They are frequently intemperate and always uncertain It is to be hoped that the wishes in this session will be enforced and that the business of the legislature can and will be confined to harmonizing the social security laws with the federal statutes and the matter of meeting the expenses of the session The regular session of the legislature will be held next January There is no legislative matter or consideration that cannot' wait until then for determination The present course is unavoidable' It is inescapable because the administration in Washington took it upon ttself to say to the states: Pass this particular law on social security or else Forum By Our Readers By FRANK KENT In a fight such as this where both sides are equally nervous about the outcome the Cass'- of the state of Maine which elects its governor and its members of congress in September instead of November weighs heavily on the minds of the politicians Un- doubtedly the hological effect of a drift -beyond normal in either direction is consid Frank RKent erable However it is not only the disheartening effect of an adverse vote or the increased confidence of a favorable one which counts The morale in the other states can be restored and the heat of the last six weeks of the campaign is well calculated to make people forget the Maine result From the practical political an-gle the real significance of these September returns Is in their influence upon campaign contributions For example next month the Republicans succeed in defeating the very popular Governor Brann now running for the senate or if they recapture their lost seat in the house by a good margin the whole problem of Republican financing will be solved Money will roll in from all directions Big campaign contributors who like to hold off until late would Interpret the result as indicative of the Landon election Immediately they would in a large way On the other hand should Governor Brann win heavily over the Republican candidate Senator Wallace White and should tbs hew dealers carry one congressional district for tha house the shock to the Republican side would be pretty severe In Terms of Money At once Democratic collections now so poor that the Farley committee has had to resort to certain devloua and distinctly discreditable methods of raising money would pick up It would seem then that the tide was run nlng the Roosevelt way instead of turning against him A lot of "high whose main Idea is to be Identified with the winner would flop over' "Fat afraid of reprisals from a reelected Roosevelt against those conspicuously on the other side would hasten to vend Mr Farley their checks as a sort of insurance policy They would do this even though they vote the other way and pray for the Roosevelt defeat the fact being that this administration has created more fear than any of Its predecessors and Is clearly vindictive Far more than the effect of this September election upon the spirit of the people the politicians consider the effect upon the campaign fund They reckon the Maine result in terms of money They rightly figure that the vote there may make the difference between a large juicy and adequate campaign chest and a very thin and inadequate one which in turn may mean the difference between victory and defeat in November Maine Alone Under the circumstances It may be worth while to recall the political history that has enabled Maine of all the forty-eight states to be the one on which in September national Interest will be centered Briefly the facts are pripr to 1846 there was no uniformity among the states In the matter of congressional elections They all had different dates This not only bred confusion but fostered fraud It got to bs a practice for In ona state to vote for candidates for congress on one day and then a few days or weeks later cross the state line and vote In another state Finally congress yielded to pressure and passed a law fixing the first Tuesday after the first Monday In November as the date for all elections for federal officials The only exception it made was that tha law should not apply to states In which some other date for these elections had been fixed by their state constitutions Only three states were found to come under this Oregon Arkansas and Maine Within The Value Basic Facts Live Issues The civil war In Spain how In Its third Week appears to be entering' its decisive stage Unless the rebel forces are able to effect an early capture of Madrid however the fighting la likely to he leng drawn out with the advantage resting with the loyalists The present situation in Spain resembles in many respects that which prevailed to Russia after ths establishment of the bolshevik government in 1917 For three years after the overthrow of Ker gasky the bolsheviks were cn-gaged In a llfe-and-death struggle with an opposition variously led by nobles moderate republicans adventurers clergymen and ex-tzarist officers At various times the counter revolutionsry -or forces received material support from ths allied governments and also from the German government Long Struggle In succession the bolsheviks were able to oveiwhelm the armies of Admiral Kolchak General Denikin General Wrangel and Nikolai Yudenlch They received the undivided support of Russian workers and peasants who although they were far from understanding the economic theories of tho preferred' the new regime to a return of tho old and resented foreign interference In Russian affairs In Hungary on the other hand where the government of Count Karolyi was overthrown in 1919 and a soviet form of government was instituted under Bela Kun fierce internal struggles developed as the communists attempted to assert their authority over the landowners Bela Kun fled to Russia an attempt by the allies to set up a cabinet representing all Hungarian parties failed Budapest was occupied by an Irregular force headed by Admiral Horthy and a new government was set up Without Force The disestablishment of parliamentarism In Italy came without the use of organized force although there was the threat of force in the background The cry tol was first used by Milssolini in a speech at a patriotic demonstration in September 1922 Thereafter he presented a series of demands to the chamber of deputies These were refused by the deputies but when it appeared that the army could not be counted upon to combat the well-organized fascist militia the king asked Mussolini by telephone October 29 to form a cabinet This he did on the following day At the outset he pursued a policy of conciliation and compromise and it was not until some years later that the fascist dictatorship assumed its present form Tho Ludendorff-Hitler putsch attempted from Munich in November 1923 with the' object of setting up a fascist government In Germany resulted In failure and Hitler turned thereafter to parliamentary methods In the election of 1928 thd Hitlerites were able to return only 12 members to the reichstag but in July 1932 after the onset of the depression they returned 230 members and polled 13 million votes In January 1933 after a series of unsuccessful ministries President von Hlndenburg gave the chancellorship to Hitler New elections In march In which severe repressive measures were employed against members of the communist social democratic and centre parties gave the nazis and their allies 52 per cent of the popular vote and a majority in the reichs-tag The new reichstag on March 23 1933 by a vote of 41 to 94 adopted the to combat the misery of people and reich" which in effect suspended the constitution of 1919 and endowed the Hitler government with

Wt have 12000000 unemployed men today who have lost their jobs on account of the use of machinery Therefore if they use machinery to build houses it means another crew of men out of work It looks like we would have to go into the holes of the rocks in the near future and dig sego lily roots for a living When mn are unable to get work to earn money then how are they going to get any to buy houses? It is time for you people to come out of your hiding place and give us full information and full understanding about this problem Scientists evolutionists and economists are continually telling us what wonderful thing they are going to do with machinery But they never give us a word about how we are to get money to buy this excessive amount of material they will produce on a massive scale with machinery They have ordered the farmer to plow under one-third of his crops kill cattle sheep and little pigs I suppose that they will have us plow under one-third of our houses 6 WILLIS Wants

unregistered voters receive their first warning of a requisite which 'is vital to participation in the elections in November as County Clerk William Korth announces registration days for this year The first opportunity to register comes August 11 In the course of the weeks preceding election day seven other opportunities to qualify will be afforded The most important prerogative of citizenship is the right to vote Too many value it lightly failing to exercise their right of franchise Obviously there 'is no immediate need for them to register In the recent depression however many people found that registration was an aid to thefiOlutiQEL-oLindividual prob- lems Registration is the first evidence of citizenship which is the first responsibility of government resident qualified to vote should neglect this important function The name of every citizen should appear on the registration lists Failure to qualify is a sign of indifference It reflects the inability or unwillingness of the

Arkansas changed their constitutions and accepted the general November date This left Maine with ah off date alone Maine never has changed her constitution in this respect and apparently has no intention of changing it One given Is that Maine rather enjoys the dls-tlnctlon of being the national ba-rometer and that this compen sates for the and expense holding two elections because that is what she has to do In September the voters in Maine will vote on candidates for con gress and state offices but in November they have to go to the polls again and vote for candidates for president and vice president Cynical and seasoned politicians insist there Is another reason even more potent why neither party in Maine really wants to change And that is they know that If they do then they will have to raise the money them selves to finance the state campaign whereas under present conditions they can always depend upon the national committees generously supplying ths Another Disgrace HE SALT
