GET IT INTO ACTION If legislators will take the pains to learn ‘the opinion of the constituents who entrust to them the duty of framing the laws, they will learn this to be the concensus of opinion. The people are utterly worn out being governed. They want less government. They want simpler government. They want officers to do their sworn duty and do less ofgpassing the buck, through commissions, bureaus, aid societies, lend-a-hand associations and other adjuncts of this sort, that have been tacked on to government. For instance, when the people elect a governor they expect him to exercise the functions defined in the constitution and prescribed by the statutes. They expect him to make recommendations to the legislative branch upon such subjects as seem in his judgment to require attention for the public good. They do not expect him to become a lob- byist for the passage of any measure. They do not expect him to bring members of the senate and house to his office to devise ways and means of forcing through these bodies measures that do not have the approval of the people and for which no necessity exists and which would but add greater burdens to an already tax-ridden people. The people of the United States but recently completed the job of retiring an administration that constantly clamored for power, and then more power and when it was granted shamefully abused it. It centralized the power of the govern- ment in an autocratic ruler who created commis- sions and bureaus by the score until the coun- try was overrun with a useless lot of jobholders who had no higher mission in life than to sign the pay roll voucher. No one will recall any special usefulness to the people these various appendages performed, but all will have cause to remember for several years to come the trouble and expense they created. On a lesser scale so may a state easily fall into the same error and misconception of plain every- day horse sense American government. Speaking specifically and in accord with opin- ion expressed in other sections of the state, let Governor Carey employ the power already in his hands as chief executive and enforce the laws through local officers, or know the reason why; and pass up the expensive, cumbersome and med- dlesome machinery proposed for law enforcement and which is continually associated with his name. We are in no sense doubting the governor's honesty of purpose. We believe he recognizes the crying need of law enforcment. We believe he is aware of the laxness existing and is seeking a remedy. All good citizens are ready to back his best efforts. We are calling his attention to the error of buying new equipment when the old is perfectly serviceable. Simply get it into action. AU Ae Speaking of the probable increase in unemploy- ment in the Washington sector about March 4. The total of unemployed will not be augmented. The ins simply go out and the outs go in. Thus the balance is maintained. nA SB If we owe Colombia $25,000,000, or any other sum, let's scratch around, get the money and pay her. If we don’t owe her let’s put an end to her blackmail claims. ee o MAKE IT THE LAW Representative Arnold of Albany county is on the right track. He has a bill in the legislature which practically makes the owner of property equally guilty with the occupant when such prop- erty is used for gambling, prostitution or for the illegal making or handling of liquor. Only too often does the influence of the prop- erty owner enter into the prosecution of offenses of this character as a factor in mitigating or pre- venting altogether, punishment for the unlawful acts committed. e The proposed act provides that any citizen may by petition to the district court declare any build- ing or other property a nuisance and upon proper showing, the court may issue an injunction clos- ing the property and set a day for hearing. If si EIT RUE Che Casper Daily Cribune MONDAY, JAN. 31, 1921 |sufficient proof is forthcoming the building shall be ordered closed for one year, a tax of $300 levied against the property and the owner or landlord fined $200. If attempt is made to re- open the place the act is in contempt of court and the punishment is drastic, : Landlords cannot escape upon the plea that they did not know their property was being used for illegal purposes. They are held to a strict accountability for the conduct of their tenants. It is the landlord's business to know who his ten- ants are and what they are doing with his prop- erty. The district court will have sole jurisdiction, no jury is required, and the justice of the peace will have no part whatever in the proceedings. As a further incident in thesclosing of such property contained in the building may be seized and sold to pay the costs of prosecution. It does not matter who claims the chattel property, it be- comes contraband. The court orders the sale and the proceeds applied. This bill should become the law. It provides a practical and sure method of handling three classes of crime that have given in the past and will continue to give enforcing officers more trou- ble and citizens more concern than any other offences in the calendar. This is the sort of a statute that will enable com- munities to clean up on lawbreakers with or with- out the aid of a police force. It will be as simple as the abatement of a nuisance. The citizen who knows of the existence of these evils and has the proof may take the initiative and the court acts direct. The high character of Wyoming district courts is all the assurance the people will require for prompt action under such a statute as the honor- able member from Albany county proposes. Regardless of other bills upon this same general subject let us make this one the law, because of its obvious effectiveness. , Ne pee Criticize a Wilson administration underling or get the goods on him, he hurls “German sympa- thizer’” at his accuser, by way of reply. It is ceasing to be either an adequate or popular de- fense. See Se a ee Secretary Colby is back from his South Ameri- can junket. He had a pleasant trip, but of re- sultant benefit to the United States, there is noth- ing doing. Aenea OR net Oeste SONU, OUR DEMOCRATIC MILITARY Mr. Baker assures a discouraged world that the war brought the Amercan army to a more democratic basis. More real fellowship exists ainong officers and men than ever before in the history of military establishments. Discipline without which no army can be efficient, remains intact and as strict as ever. Now that a major general would be perfectly Mr. Baker’s acumen and intelligent direction, he yelieves that a major general would be perfe tly willing to dance the two-step with the wife of a private soldier, whenever the post orchestra rend- ers the jazz at the weekly hop. That may be, but is the private soldier perfectly agreeable and willing to permit the major gen- eral’s shimmying about the ballroom with his best wife? And then again, under Mr. Baker’s theory of military democracy, will the wife or daughter of the major general be delighted to assist the buck private in the next jazzing contest? No, we fear the complete democratization of the army has not arrived. Officers and men may have reached the point where they are willing to swap cigarettes and plug tobacco, but there have been no leveling of social standards heretofore existing; and the West Point aristocracy will con- tinue to rule as it always has done. Mr. Baker’s military democracy is mostly bunk. ——--—0 If you formed any habits of thrift during the war, you better think Jong.and seriously before you discard them.

Perhaps tho first aid station and its work should first be brought to the attention of the public. The proced- ure, the work being done and the ulti- mate results, Although the attend- ants of the first aid station are all young men they have had years of experience and have been thorough- ly trained in the art of giving first aid, Every accident, no matter wha: the nature, is well taken care of, no guess work whatever is used. Every man now employed in that division have passed government tests show- ing that they are proficient in that line. A novel but most modern record of accidents, is a recapitulation chart drawn up every week by the deyart- ment, showing every accident and the nature of it, that has happened dur- ing that week. ; The safety. division comes well to the fore in the matter of personal safety. Bulletins, explaining the method of procedure, and the neces- sity of safety for the individual and his fellow workers have taken a strong hold on the employes and brot results in steadily docreasing mimber of accidents. e It is the idea of the safety dopart- ment to fix the man so that he is en- abled to bring his pay check hoine regular, To see that he is safo as possible from accidents and to make sure that the wife and children at home will not suffer through # mis- fortune to.thelr breadwinner.

IF YOUR EARS RING WITH HEAD NOISES If you have roaring, buzzing noises in your ears, are getting hard of hearing and fear Ca- tarrhal Deafness, go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it % pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring 4uick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become casy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is X pleasant to take. Anyone who has Catarrhal trouble of the ears, is hard of hearing or has head noises should give this prescription a trial.
