The high commodity prices of 1919,} of course, were pattly due to the spend- ing of many millions, of war savings and the urgent buying of civilian cloth. ing by returned soldiers. This sort of | buying however, applies mainly to clothing and luxuries, and does not Gee Used count for the continued high cost of food in wheat crops. the face of bumper corn and It was the heavy expor- tation of goods abroad which caused scarcity in the United States and pre- vented prices from declining in 1919. And the direct cause of these heavy exports s the facile lending of three Dillion dollars by our treasury to the allies. Thus the past year has been an ab- normal one.

SPENCER (Special to The Tribune.) { WASHINGTON, Jan. 14,—True feels the leg-grip of a Seasoned rider. | Wyoming's leadership and control in| the lower house of congress, altho she is represented by a single member as against some sta the nation. The general titled to no small sense of pride in the successful record of her delegate-at- large, Hon. Frank W. Mondell, who is| conducting himself with much credit as Republican floor leader in the houxe of representatives. Floor Leader Reigns Supreme The floor leader of the house is a virtual dictator, and he must have the wisdom and the judgment of a Solo- mon, if he expects to keep his head above water. The position gives him almost unlimited powers, but at the same time it places upon his shoulders exacting duties and heavy responsibili- ties. As chairman ®f the steering com- mittee he becomes immediately respon- sible for the entire legislative program of the house. He issues the order of up” or “thumbs down” on legislation which is to be brot before it. He is consulted by the members on all jimportant measures, and his advice is solicited liberally. He is the final arbi- bers as to legislation and policies, short, he is the pilot of the ship, and the master of the crew, Elected Against Powerful Opposition With the tremendous responsibilities involved, only a man of big calibre could occupy the position, The marked suc- cess which has attended Mr. Mondell during his regime should give Wyo- ming a new conception of the size’ and jvalue of the man, whom they have elected to serve them for the past 24 The full significance of his se jlection for this office can be appreciat jed, when it is known that he was op- |posed by such men as Representative Longworth of Ohio, with 14 Republican votes from his own state, by Represen- |tative Mann of Illinois, who was backed jbs members of his state delegation, and by Representative Moore of Penn. sylvania with Pennsylvania votes |Mr. Mondell emerged victorious altho |he came from a state with but one vote —his own, which he, of course, could not cast for himself. Strong Member of the House. | ° His election came entirely thru mer! and was founded upon the years of ex- cellent service which he has rendered in the house. He-is acknowledged, to be the best informed member on gen eral legislation, one of the most ready debators, an authority on patliamentary law, and personally, one of the most popular members of the house. The west generally can feel some elation at his victory, for this is*the first time |the position of floor leader has gone jto a far western state, and it is also jthe first time the honor has been ex fended to a state having less than ten jvotes in the committee. Wyoming Interests Well Protected. Hundreds of letters pour into his of fice from all sections of the Unitec |States asking questions and giving ad vice with respect to legislative matters It is d remarkable fact that altho al Jof these communications receive con siderate replies, it has in no manner |diminished the congressman's interest Jund strict attention to the business of his own state. He receives from 10C jto 150 letters daily from tis Wyoming constituer and his desk is seldom jclosed for the day with any of them unanswered. He finds time to appear before com- mittees tomurge legislation for his state and to personally interview department heads with resy to the many intri- cate public land matters confronting the people of Wyoming. Since the return of our boys from the war, he has han- died hundreds of cases involving bon- uses, travel pay, compensation, and in- surance for Wyoming soldiers and their dependents. While the duties of floor leader have laid an additional tax upon his physical and mental energies, he has willingly assumed them with’ the idea that the added prestige and power would enable him td secure greater consideration for the constituncy—a fact likely to become more and more apparent as the session progresses.

The natural promotion | Ga, to his people. from his present position would be the speakership of the house, and it is generally conceded by the members of that body that the Wyoming congress: | in With the strength | said. pn tremendous powér of his present in pooy working order and ts too old for/dollars to again loox on his old navy office and the possjpility of the speaker-|the present growth of the city. ship to weigh against the values of a pafd for largely thru the volunteer fire in the United States senate, it / department, one fire official believed. men is next in line. seat would appear that Mr. Mondell had a! problem of some magnitude. The com-| nlexities - of caused some reflections among the state | politicians. But regardless of what. de-| cision is made by Mr. Mondell, it is a certainty that ‘his ultimate course will! be chosen with an’ eye to the welfare of Wyoming, and his general usefulness | to the nation. ‘ | At one time Mr. Mondell refused the} chairmanship of an important commit- | tee in the house, in order that he might | serve as a member of the appropria-| tions committee.

As the national political pot com- mences to boil for the coming presi-| tential election, certain well-defined ru-| mors have arisen suggesting Mr. Mon-| slell as a candidate for the vice-presi-} tency to be coupled with an eastern man for the presidency. Mr. Mondell! lisclaims any knowledge of it, however, | and further developments must _be| waited. It is suffice that Wyoming is | being rewarded for the intelligence of her voting public.
