The pesplethad a definite purpose in view when they vote: It was to rid the country of an extravagant, waste- ful and grafting Democratic party which was rapidly-bankrupting the nation and absorbing the carnings of the people in taxation; and to sup- plant it with the Republican party which prom- ised a program of retrenchment and economy, a reduction in’expenditaresito bring them within the revenues and a lessening of the burdens under which the people were groanjng. 5 The reduction in the demands of the Demo- cratic executive department of something like two and a half billions of dollars for 1920 and 1921 is excellent as far as it goes, but when the Re- publicans come into control of the executive de- partments they must cut the pay roll to the very bone and camp on the expense account day and hight. For this job Senator Smoot of Utah in the one branch and Representative Mondell of Wyoming in the other branch of congress are selected to sit on the lid of the strong box to see that the people get value received and that their money is not squandered. factemeebaeem cy (he Ns WILLING LITTLE HELPER We now have the Anti-Saloon League attempt- ing te gain the same power in public affairs that it formerly charged against the liquor interests. In so far as liquor was an institution in the life of the nation, enjoying rights under the law, the same power that created it and protected it, has now banished it and pronounced it a criminal. With the banishment of liquor went also the ob- ject and purpose of the Anti-Saloon League. Its excuse for existence no longer obtains. Its ancient enemy is no more and its occupation is gone. The will of the people has been written into the constitution and the statutory law. The en- forcement rests with the executive power of the government. So far as both liquor and: the Anti-Saloon League are concerned, in the minds of the peo- ple they have both done their Work, ended, finished and vanished. The people have accepted the situ- ation and turned to other and more important affairs, glad that the contest) between the two forces is over. ~ Yet, in spite of the situation, an occasional ofh- cer of the league rushes to the stage and attempts to engage the attention of the manipulator of the spotlight long enough to put over an ancient war dance. The latest of these captains of the league de- sires to discredit the Hon. Andrew W. Mellon of Pittsburgh, the very probable ‘secretary of the treasury in the Harding cabinet, one of the nation’s most prominent bankers and distinguished men of affairs, and by so. doing’ keep the Harding cabinet immaculate. In the course of business a block of stock in the Overholt distillery came into Mr. Mellon’s posses- sion, subsequently transferred to a brother, later transferred to a trust company, the present owner. This is why Mr. Mellon is unfit to be the secretary of the treasury. This is why this Anti-Saloon League brother objects to him and desires some- one else designated, preferably someone closely associated with the league, because at present the internal reyenue department comes under the juris- diction of the treasury. The league gentleman has : ‘ gone pretty far afield to pick a flaw and attract sthe Republican ticket last November. | a little brief attention to himself. There is no more capable man nor more honorable man in the coun- \try than Mr. Mellon, and surely if Mr. Harding de- sires him for the treasury he will not be deterred by the gratuitous advice nor the objections of an obscure Anti-Saloon League agitator. ARES 0 TE LOSS OF REVENUE | From every section of the country, from every city, village and countryside comes the report of tremendous reductions in income during the year 1920, indicating beyond doubt that the income tax will be a relatively small producer of revenue lduring 1921. In a multitude of instances the in- come reports of large merchants will show net losses instead of profits, due to the depreciation of values of stocks on hand. . Few merchants will show considerable profits when these deduc- tions are made. Scarcely a farmer, of any sort— grain grower, cotton grower, stockman, fruit pro- ducer—will report a taxable income for the year 1920. The inevitable consequence will be an enormous reduction in’ the revenue from~the in- come tax. The excess profits tax feature’ of the law will be practically inoperative. id These facts are patent to all who have observed the trend of events. There are several conclu- sions to be made from’ these facts; first, that there must be every possible reduction in public expen- ditures; second, that some’ means must be found, \if possible, to make/up-in part-for the loss of reve- nue from the income tax; third, that governmental policies must be such as: to, encourage and hasten tevival of industry ‘and enterprise. In all three of these.particulars, the Democratic | administration has been’ found-wanting. The Wil- son regime has not only, spent.money needlessly and lavishly, but has demandéd appropriations far in excess of the amounts congress has seen fit to grant. If the Demgeratjé "administration had been given all it asked, the public debt would now be two and a half billions greater. than_it is, with still greater difficulty in atcomplishing reductions in the future. The spending habit is hafd to cure. The Wilson administration-failed, ‘als6,: to find lany plan of revenue production that‘would make up for the loss of income ‘tax naturally and cer- tainly following thé défiation program which the federal reserve board“put- into execution. It is true that the administration acknowledged the need for new sources of revenue, but it had no definite recommendations to makek as a remedy for the evils it had brought upon the country. The whole tendency of, the Wilson, administra- tion has been to-repress enterprise, inflate prices, add ito.the cost of living, encourage. profiteering and increase the public debt. It has played hand- in-glove with those who would retard production and has coddled the Bolshevik element of our pop- ulation. All this must be changed and the difh- cult task awaits the Republican administration which will come” into” full control’ of the govern- ment March 4, There must be a reduction of gov- ernment expenditures in order that they will not exceed the revenue. There must be encourage- ment of industry and thrift, hard work, simple liv- ing and useful investment’ of savings. / To all of this the Republican party is pledged and with the president and the congress ready to co-operate the people may take hope that some- thing substantial will be accomplished. a pene COAL EXPORTS: AND-THE REASON Coal exports; fom-the United States in 1920 were $432,000:000-iiwalue;-against $169,000,- 000 in 1919 and $92,000,000 in'the-year before ithe war—the calendar year 1913. These figures include the anthracite-and-bituminous-coal export- ed to all parts of the wotld plus the’ bunker coal supplied at out own portsotovessels. engaged in the foreign trade. The value of bituminous coal sent to foreign countries in 1920 was $304,000,- 000, against $84,000,000 in the calendar year 1919, and $45,000,000 in the year preceding the war. Anthracite exports were valued in 1920 at $46,000,000, against $37,000,000 last year, and $22,000,000 in the year before the war; and bunker coal supplied to vessels engaged in foreign trade in 1920 was valued at $82,000,000, against $48,000,000 in 1919, and $25,000,000: in 1913. The reason for the extraordinary exports is. the ‘wrecking of the continental mines’ by the.opera- tions of war, the labor troubles of England and Wales, as well as the refusal of the experienced men of these countries to work at all. South America took a great deal of coal from us when previcusly she relied upon Great Britain. to supply her. This export coal at enormous prices explains the previous American shortage and the profiteering on our own people by our own coal operators. * —————-0-—_______ The constituent from the west on a visit to Washington asked his congressman how many people worked for the government. The reply he received was—about a third of them. This is additional argument why the other two-thirds of them should be sent back to the west and south jto help produce the raw preducts that will keep the industrial plants of the north and east going full time, which they will shortly. be compelled to do.

GLIM OF ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING 1$ REPEATED CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb, 21.—Isaac McMillen, who with 16-year-old Ada Webster, was the victim of a mysteri- ous shooting affair at Wheatland, both being wounded in the lower limbs, bas reiterated his earlier claim that the shooting was accidental, stating that the accidental discharge of a re- volver which he was carrying was re- sponsible for the injuries of himself an¢@ the girl.
