C. Oct. 31.— With the smashing of the Prussian military machine steadily progressing and definite assurance of the close of the war in the not distance future, the after war problems begin to loom high. Both official Washington and industrial America are planning to meet them. There have appeared al-! ready two quite distinct agencies, the one suggested by Senator Weeks, the other by Senator Overman They should be designated the Legislative! vs. the Executive plan. | The former looks upon the problem | of reconstruction as a_ legislative function, to be dealt with by the Con-! gress, the law-making body. The lat- ter regards it as an executive func- tion to be performed by the Presi: dent. The former. proposes 4 joint! committee of House and Senate to} report to Congress for action. The! latter proposes an appointive com- mission to report to the President. It} does not specify the President is to do with the report. | The Presidential proposal has) couched within it dangerous possibil-} ities. The emergency of the war called for drastic powers conferred upon the President. Authority over} property rights, over rights of speech| and the press, rights over production, } transportation and consumption. Under the former Overman Act the executive has rights over government departments already created, which enable him not only to regulate but! annihilate them. These powers were) granted as emergent, it is true, but until repealed will remain law. If the reconstruction work shall) become an executive rather than a legislative problem, then it fhust fok low thé many war agencies, such as! the vast bureaus which now fill Wash- ington with their thousarids of ap-| pointees, including the agencies under the War,Industries Board, the War! Trade Board, the Capital Issues Com- mittee, the Food and Fuel Bureaus, the Railway* Administration, the Tele- graph and Telephone Administration, | and other agencies vested with al- most plenary powers, including the Creel Bureau, may by executive fa- vor be continued as permanent agen-, cies to carry on such reconstruction | wor as may appear wise to the execu-| tive authority which the Overman | proposal intends to create. This prop- | osition will increase in its enormity as it is tudied from the angle of the war agencies now in existence. It is! the farthest step yet taen to exten- tend the executive function over the field of Igislation. Every observer has noted this tend-| ency of Mr. Wilson whose published | Wwiew of the powers of the executive is that no limit should be placed upon) him save his own ability. The war has served as the occakion for the augmentation of executive power. Here is a direct proposition emi-| nating from the same source designed) by Congressional authority to dele-/ gate to the President power to, super- ‘sede the legislative function in hand- ling the problems of reconstruction. Such a suggestion of executive ex-! pansion ordinarily would be incredi- ble were it not so palpable in its ori-| gin. All doubts are now removed by} This plan is be-the open advocacy of an official an- nouncement by the head of the Demo- cratic committee in his recent state- ment, in which it is proposed that the legislative branch vacate its function, | absolve itself of all responsibility, and by blanket authority authopize the, President to deal with theeé prob- lems of reconstruction undisturbed by any. suggestion from’ the. legisla: | tive branch. which . heretofore -has tion.

Wind River a | NEW ABSORPTION PLANT IN FELD Modern Treatment of Gas to Fol- low Installation of Plant at Salt Creek, Claim ——— A modern absorption plant is be- ing erected in Salt Creek on the west side of the field to take care of the gasoline that is now being wasted. The wells in the Salt Creek field pro- duce an excellent grade of gas but in the main this gas is too full of gaso- line to burn good. It smokes up the rooms where it is used and burns with a yellow flame. After being treated in an absorp- tion plant, the gas will burn with a blue flame and will give off more heat than in its present state nor will its use tend to smoke up the interiors of the houses in which it is used. Practically every camp in Salt Creek is now using gas for its fuel and with excellent results. | LOOKS LIKE FIGHTFUL WAITING? SAYS GULLEN WW-LETTER TO CASPER The many friends of Charles A. | Cullen will be interested in the fol-! lowing. excerpts from a letter written from Camp Pike, Arkansas, where he is rounding out a course of train- ing: “It has been raining here the past two days and today is a dreary, wet day like they don’t often have in Wyoming. It is very disagreeable for one not used to it, and makes me Wish more than ever that I was in Casper. “From all reports things are about as usual there. I see you did a good job on the Liberty loan. The paper always makes me homesick, or rather ‘Casper-sick.,’ “Saw Guss Bell last night and had a pleasant visit with him. Sure seems good to visit with an old pal. “Sorry to see accounts of the deaths of so many Casper boys. Was sick myself for a week and am very thankful to have escaped. Am feel- ing good again now. T | “TI suppose peace is the main topic | of conversation there. It is here. I hardly know what to think of it. It} looks like a case of “frightful wait- ing.’ It at least is encouraging and all indications are that the Huns want to get out of it. “T am moving to Elbert’s Field, Lonoke, Arkansas, so address me there in care of K. of C.” ——__ —_ PROMINENT MAN Ping ready to leave here and from | ROCK SPRINGS |; prised to see us pulk out Sunday | DIES SUDDENLY | Casper friends have received no-; tice of the death of Emil J.

Gleason, Vicar General of Catholic Chaplains of the Pacific and Insudar Possessions, in| discussing the labers of the welfare workers mentions the fact that the men in service did not want for amusement or lack of comfort while the camps were restricted from visit- ots. Several of the chaplains were given permission to leave the grounds but in all instances they remained. “My work naturally brings me in close touch with the secretaries of the K, of C.” said Father Gleason, ‘and T can vouch for the fact that the work accomplished during the quarantine -vas wonderful. The K. of C. workers \1evoted themselves assidiously to ‘bring relief to the many isolated huts ind the K. of C. chaplains, with their Fords, supplied stationery, and re- ceived and posted letters for the men, and in fact have done everything in their power to bring comfort to the men. In addition to these things we saw that the men viewed moving pic- tures projected from a screen erected in the open air.” TRIP ON SUB. RECENTLY COMPLETED ON COAST Dan McCarthy, one of the first to hear the call for service early in 1917, is still stationed on the Pacific coast, a letter received by a friend} in the building of a submarine. The boat is a success, as shown by the following reference to it in his letter: “We have been so very busy get- appearances [ would not be su morning for San Pedro, It is about} 1,200 miles down the coast, most of all a splendid chance to see what! the boat will do. “We have had all of our required tests here to date and were unusually fortunate.
