    • Abstract:
      The article discusses American security. Not since the old polygamy days have the Latter Day Saints made the headlines as frequently as they have recently with their program to take 88,000 Mormons off the dole. Cries against U.S. federal spending have everywhere been vociferous and unending, but the only project organized solely to free Americans from the burden of government relief, and advertised as such, has been the Mormon Security Plan. Although it ridiculed federal work projects, the church attempted to solve the unemployment problem among Mormons by creating projects of its own.
