Kendrick recently delivered an ad- dress before the Sheridan Commercial Club, which has been in one form or another widely published over the state. So largely has it been used by Demo- cratic newspapers that it bears the imprint of polit- ical propaganda. Aside from that it smells largely like the opening of a campaign for re-election on the part of a Democratic senator in a Republican state. ‘That the political object of the senator's address has. been penetrated in widely scattered sections of the ,state two camments are given herewith to show how’ the address has been interpreted. The Evans- ton ress says: “We have seem. in the state press an account of an addresa given by Senator John B. Kendrick before the Sheridan Chamber of Commerce, Senator Ken- drick stated that, he would not embarrass the admin- istration by an obstructionist policy; he seems to fa- vor the Republicem policy in so far as it benefits the West. The Republican policy which has always ben- efitted the West and Wyoming, has been one of a tariff. “The people of fhe West wilkbe glad for the sena- tor’s help along this line, though, thiiiks ta the ac-| tion of the people: last fall the Democratic. majority in the senate was so reduced that the only way they can obstruct the vise policise of the Republicans is by filibustering against legislation of a helpful char-| acter. So that, summed up, Senator Kendrick finds he cannot prevent, even if he wished to do so, the beneficent policy df helpfulness of the Republicans. He was one of the, “Wilson can do no wrong’ Demo- ctats. Like so mary people he seemed to believe Wil- son was a super-man and was, in his official action, what was designateal as the ‘rubber stamp’ type. That the average man was fooled by the ex-president’s ‘ab- solutism can be condoned; but that Senator Ken-| drick, who was in close touch with events at Wasli- ington, should openly; espouse his cause and cham- pion him seems to indicate either a lack of judgment er a willingness to subscribe to a wrong policy. “The senator’s Sheridan talk indicates that possibly he will be a candidate for re-election next year. Re~ publicans, of course, will not be fooled into support- ing him in his ambition. They will find a candidate within their own party who will not have to apologize for undue servility and who will unhesitatingly locul- ize his political action for the benefit of his con-' stituency. “Without the help of Republicans in Wyoming, Mr. Kendrick cannot be elected again. In view of his record it would be unwise for Republicans to lend him the slightest encouragement.” The second comment is by the Guernsey Gazette and reads as follows: “According to remarks made by Senator Kendrick before the Sheridar: Commercial Club he pledges him- self to uphold the hands of President Harding, and further declared that he would not submit to any pro- gram of partisan obstruction io political ends, and a lot of other bunk. Jaws is still a Texas Democrat and a line like the above emanating from him is purely political. The senator realizes that if he comes up for re-election two years hence he will have to line up a lot of Republican votes to go under the wire winner. Evidently he thinks he will make hay while the sun shines. But the rank and file can distinguish weeds from alfalfa." Of course the senator has committed no high crime by attempting to proselyte Republican votes, for his election is impossible without them. Heretofore the senator’s campaigns have fallen upon times when the Grand Old Party was somewhat disorganized and de- void of hope. How it will be when he faces a thor- oughly united and well organized Republican party, full of pep and ready to contest with anything and everything that bears the brand of Democracy, how- ever camouflaged, remains to be determined. ae en THE JOY OF LIVING. The late John Burroughs, the naturalist, lived a very plain and simple life yet it was a rich and happy one throughout all of his years. His philosophy is reflected in these few lines which contain his life’s record: I have never had much money, but I have always enjoyed the things at hand. I have become so fa- miliar with the face of Nature that it is as the face of an old friend and I know and love it in every mood. My years have been full of joy, but they have been years of simplicity and economy. I have never sated myself with anything and the bloom is still on my life. I have kept young because I have kept free from worldly and selfish ambitions. If I had been miser- ly and grasping, I would have been old and unhappy long ago. There is nothing like love to keep you young—love for your fellow man and for Nature— and love is Nature’s final law. Someone once asked me how I had kept so young and I answered that I had been born young and had never thrown my yeuth away. Soeneaitenned eaieemeetemment MONDELL’S IDEA OF FEDERAL TAXES. Representative Frank Mondell, as Republican floor leader, has mapped @ prograr; for congressional ac- tion on appropriations that puts a little heart into the tax-ridden people. Secretary Houston’s taxation es- timate for the next fiscal year was $4,000,000,000. Mx. Mondell proposes to carte this a billion and a half, with him. 6 —————— His estimates are: For ordinary expenditures, $2,- $1,335,000,000; postal expenditures, $500,000,000. This would make the total of the annual appropria- jtion bill for next year $3,835,000,000. Against this amount he balances, customs revenues $350,000,000, postal revenues $500,000,000, miscellaneous receipts $500,000,000. This would leave a matter of $2,500,- 000,000 to be raised by taxation. 5 Mr. Mondell says there must be a lifting, not 2 shifting, of tax burdens. The people will be satis- fied with nothing less, His idea is to make no large payments from current revenue on the floating debt, but apply receipts from all salvage sales to this pur- pose. Finance the soldier bonus separate and apart from the general tax plan, by a sales tax or the ap- plication of interest on foreign loans. Mr. Mondell favors repeal of the excess profits tax, the higher income surtaxes and the luxury taxes. “If there ever was placed upon a people a confusing, in- equitable, exasperating and in many features confis- catory system of taxation it is our present federal tax scheme.” That is his whole-hearted opinion of it and he has about a hundred and ten million ous pees ial REE * TOO ECONOMICAL WITH TRUTH. The advocates of government ownership of rail- roads like enthusiasts and propagandists who have ulterior or selfish motives as a basis for their advo- cacy, are not at all backward in even presenting fig- ures that prevaricate, and withholding the whole truth because the half truth better serves their purpose. As an example it is stated by them that in 1917 the private operators expended $690,487,606 for mainte- nance of equipment, while in 1919 the government as operator spent $1,215,275,748 for the same pur- pose, an increase of 74 per cent. For maintenance of way the private owners in 1917 spent $445,391,- 852, and in 1919 the government expended $772,513,- 676, an increase of 78 per cent. From these figures one draws the conclusion that under government ownership far more attention is paid to the condition of equipment and roadbed, which, if it were true, would be a weighty argument in favor of a return to federal control. But when we remember that the dollar of 1919 was worth only about half the value of the 1917 dollar we reach quite a different conclusion. Stated in terms of work dono rather than in dollars spent, it would be seen that the government fell far short of the private owners in keeping up the rolling stock and the rails. Still another fallacy is the deduction that we are likely to drew from a comparison of the income of the roads in 1917 and now. In round numbers, they earned $4,000,000,000 in the year before the govern- ment took them over. Their gross income now is about $7,000,000,000. One public-ownership paper remarks, “Three years’ collections by the railroads would buy the entire plant at the highest possible valuation.” That is true on the showing of those fig- ures alone, but when we remember that supplies, equipment and labor, principally the latter, have risen to enormous heights since the beginning of the war we see that a comparison of gross income means nothing. In spite of the big increase in receipts the roads are showing an actual déficit, because costs have rise: faster even than income. There is no argument that can be advanced in be- half of government ownership that will stand the test of analysis. Its advocates rely on partial truths to establish their case. They gain strength only when their propaganda is not refuted by a statement con- taining all the facts. Publicity of the whole record of government ownership in the United States, as well as in other countries is sufficient toxdispel the illusion that it possesses merit. (SCRE YEE NU We UNPROFITABLE AREAS, . “Tdle land is the cause of Ameri¢a’s timber short- we,"’. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “idle land that should be utilized for growing trees to replace those cut for the industries. The chief forester of. the Federal government estimates these idle acres at 81,- 000,000, an area increased by 8,000,000 acres each yéar.' This is not land adapted to agriculture. It would serve the nation best by growing timber. It is idle and unproductive because Americans continue to pursue wasteful policies in forestry. “In spite of modern substitutes for wood in con- struction, more wood is used now than ever before in this country. Concrete and other fire-resisting mate- rials, admirable as they are, are not saving our dis- appearing timber. More wood is used in building rail- way cars, for instance, than efore the steel car was devised. Similar increases in many branches of in- dustry are inevitably hastening the day when Amer- ica’s magnificeut forest heritage will be exhausted. Al- ready three-fifths of the primeval forests are gone and of the remaining portions 61 per cent lies west of the great plains.” SBS ANOTHER TOTTERING THRONE. To add to the general confusion in Europe the whole Greek regime, including King Constantine, |Premier Calogeropomious’ cabinet and all, is threat- ened with disaster, The recent reverses in Asia Minor in the campaign against the Turks have been the cause of inflaming the public to the extreme of driving from power those responsible from the king down to General Gounaris, who made flamboyant promises to take Angora within thirty days. The army as well is dissatisfied with the campaign, when it is seen that the Greek hold in Asia Minor is by a mere thread with Smyrna threatened and the Turks outnumbering the Greeks to great extent, the Greek troops see no other fate than to be driven into the sea. In the offing somewhere lurks former Premier Venizelos, once the most powerful figure in Greece ‘and in whom the populace still have great faith. Will the kingdom fall and a republic arise on its ruins? Whatever it may be there is evéry indication of some- |thing happening in Greece. eS ERASE 2 BUND AE ot ay INVESTMENT IN AUTOMOBILES. It is estimated that Wyoming will have in 1921, 27,000 automobiles. Machines average to the pur- chaser at least $1,000. The investment will, there- fore, be $27,000,000. Depreciation upon cost, owing to bad roads is estimated at least 10 per cent. If these figures are correct, we are losing $2,700,000 per annum, to automobile owners alone, through not having good highways, In a ten-year period the en- tire outlay would therefore, be lost to the people of |the state. Looking at our road conditions from this standpoint, we simply cannot go longer without radi- cal road improvement. —_o—__—____ Where did the wise. jurist, who said blondes were changeable, secure his legal education?

To Hold Conference. 4Sheridan Post.) L, T. Toothacker, field secretary for the Y. M. C. A. in Wyoming, with headquarters.uc Casper, is in Sheri- dan completing .arrangements for a conference on problems of boys’ activ- ities, which will be held here April 22, 23, and 24. As the initial con- ference of its kind in northern Wyom- ing, the session which probably will be) conducted in the basement of the First Congregational church, will be largely of an inspirational order and will be expected to provide the basis for @ greater activity in boy lMfe in this part of the state. A similar con- ference several weeks ago in Chey enne for the boys of southern V’yom- to have brough: won- ing is derful resuits to that section, axd aii}. much is expected from the Sheridan conference. New Police Chief, (Sheridan Enterprise.) 0. H. Pointer, Democratic candi- date for sheriff of Sheridan county in the last general election, was this afternoon unanimously approved by the city council as chief of police of Sheridan to succeed W. 8S. McPherren, resigned, to succeed J. Ira Kirby as deputy clerk. A special meeting of the sity ccun- cil was called at 2 o'clock this afier- noon by Mayor M. B. Camplin, who asked the members of the council 10 accept the resignation of Mr. Mc- Pherren. Upon acceptance of the re- signation Mayor Camplin said that he wanted to announce the selectivn of/Mr. Pointer as chief of police, and upon a vote commissioners 0. F. Svanberg and Judson Bibb ap- Broad of Mayor Camplin’s appoint- ment. No Hats in Ring. (Hudson Herald.) With the municipal election ;but thirty days ahead, there have as yet been no candidates for mayor and council announced, It is probable that there “will be plenty of material for the offices but it is also likely that someone will have to do a little inside work to get anybody to run. It is now time for a caucus and for the circulation of petitions, so if you know anybody who will serve his home town in any capacity, you will do well to get the name before the public quick.
