The amendment pro- poses an increase to’ fifteen mills: This amendment is a reasonable and proper one-and should be adopted for the reason that Wyoming towns and cities have been put square- } i i \ ly up against a financial stone wail! within the past | year or two, and it is a struggle to keep the munic- ipal ship afloat. The revenue from‘ the liquor traffic, which’ has obtained for many years and has been to most municipalities the largest item of revenue aside from property taxés, is wiped. off the slate forever. There are other licenses and. reyenues which have also beén. abolished by reason’ of demands of the public for morality and! decency: within, the towns and citiés in’ which they Beside: ott These revenues from what: maybe vermed ili 4 traffic have made such heavy reduction in public | receipts that most town and city authorities find themselves unable to more than meet the fixed charges against their respective’ municipalitiés. While at the same time there is clamor for public improvements, in the shapé of public. buildings, streets and street paving, water supply, sewage dis- posal and: endless other things the people of the moder: town or city demand: If the city goverriment is to’ live, and no zen would desire it abolished or permit it to go | backward, there is just one way to meet»the cost | entailed: in supplying the public requirements and'| that is by taxation. | And since the constitution limits: the’ present | levy to eight mills; which) is: insufficient in the | face of the revetiue loss referred: to; the legislature ‘ took a: survey of Wyoming towns: and cities, found | them all in practically the same situation, and: de-'! | citi- | cided’ to submit! the proposed) remedy tothe people | © for their action: The government of the local: community must be sustained. It must now be’ sustained almost wholly -by taxation upon the property within its | limits. The local warrant must not go to protest it must be paid: Floating indebtedness must not | be created. The bonded debt’ must be kept at the minimum and interest and principal must be met promptly and’ public credit arid’ good name main- tained. Then this first amendment must be adopted’ by the voters on November 2nd, cheerfully and’ will- ingly. It is in the nature of a public duty rather than affording a preference in the matter. The other proposed amendments will be taken up in subsequent issues and explained to the voters. THE PARTY’S PLEDGE.

CONSISTENT INEFFICIENCY. The war was being won: on the western’ front and the*German forces were near route when that final series: of remarkable notes between the presi- dent of the United States and the German govern- ment led to the armistice. It was the abrupt con- clusion of the war——and the new problems of peace —which terminated: the analysis and scrutiny. to which the administrative mistakes and-blunders of the admiijistration’s' military policy were being sub- jected—mistakes which would’ have proved! costly in huifiait lives as they proved’ costly in dollars had the balance of man power not been: mobilized: on the western front. During. the months following the armistice, the characteristic lack of plarining evidenced through the prosecution of the war has continued. The adininistration’s uttér failure to develop a recon- struction and retrenchment program is the natural seqtel df what happenec during the war. It is directly related to the president’s military policy and program. THE IMPORTANT ACT. congress do after it came into powér? , ltdid this. It preserved the rights interests and ideals of the United States of America from their treaty and covenant of the League of Nations. If the congress had done nothing more than this it would have performed: a’ greater service to the American people than has been rendered by wrote arid signed the Declaration’ of Indeperidence: The specific acts of the Republican congress] ant issue. The important act has been told. - It is: entitled BUT ONE COURSE OPEN. At a great gathering of Republicans at Syra- cusé, upon the occasion of notifying Judge’ Nathan Miller of his noniination for governor of New-York, Charles Evans Hughes said: “The Democratic. national administration at the }! peak of its responsibility and opportuhitg: ferfeited’ the confidence of the country and by. inekcus- able biuriders, sexiousty impaired the nation’s pres- tige and influence. “‘Tistead- of seelting’ a swift peace conformable to the plain demands of American interests, the ad- ministration! “puttued! not’ fhe vision of a sound statesmanship, intent upon plans wisely conceived, bad in. an. unwholésome union which the adtinis- tration was determined should be indissoluble. “The distinctive policy of thé Democratic ad+ ministration thus became one of surrender of American principles and’ interests, arid upon that policy it has demanded and: unquestionably will’ re- ceive the verdict of the Armercat’ pebple. “There now is but one plain course to rectify the mischief and: assure’ the future, and! that is to put in a Republican administration’ which" will be able readily to arrarige for a’ salutary international o-operation and that full: discharge of, American |) duty to mankind; without fatuously committing | ourselves to a broad undertaking pledging the use | of national’ arms in unknown contingencies regard- less of our opinion at’ the time’ of the’ merits of the | controversy.” | CHARMING GUESTS. | | From todity and’ including the remainder of the | week we will! have the ladies with us.
