We will also agree that the World like thé former president, whom it has so consistently backed in all things, hus forgotten al] about the constitution ana the part it is designed to take in our form of government. We find the Wortd saying: “If Mr. Harding intrusts the revision of the tariff and the tax laws to the Repub- lican leaders in congress, it is safe to predict that they will wreck his administration. Unless he determines policies and measures, chaos is inevitable.” If we take the World’s view, the one man govern- ment is all that can be successful in America. It mat- ters not that Mr. Wilson thoroughly tested the plan with all the autocratic powers conferred by war time conditions and war time legislation and yet failed miserably and retired from office without public sup- port from even his own political party. One man government can never be a success in this country. The Republican orm with its legislative, judicial and executive branchzs, in the World’s opinion is all wrong, an autocrat must be established in the White House to use congress as a mere o. k. stamp. The World’s utterances are those of one who has lost - faith in représentziive government and would have a temporary dictatorship. That Mr, Harding has cer- tain responsibilities in connection. with «legislation, fully understands those responsibilities, and, further- more, has no intention of shirking them may be clearly gathered from many of his utterances, The constitution established first the legislative.de, partment, declaring that all legislative power shall be vested in a congress, and it’is particularly specified that all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the house. Article 2 declares that executive power shall be vested in a president, and it is madé his duty, among other things, to give congress information con- cerning the state of the union and to recommend to their consideration such measures as he may deem necessary and expedient. He is given power to veto any nfeasure passed by congress, which, however, may be passed over the veto by a two-thirds vote in each house. In brief form, you have the respective duties and responsibilities of both legislative and executive branches of the government, so far as legislation is concerned. That Mr. Harding has a very clear understanding on this subject, his farewell address to the senate last December shows in the words he used: “When my re- sponsibilities begin in an executive capacity I shall be as mindful of the senate’s responsibilities as I have been jealous of them as a member, but I mean, at the same time, to be just as insistent about the re- sponsibilities of the executive. Our governmental good fortune does not lie in any surrender at either end of the avenue, but in the co-ordination and co- operation which becomes the two in a great and truly representative popular government.” That is the utterance of an American, one of con- viction, courtesy and courage. He does not seek to shirk responsibility that is his nor usurp that which is another's. The twaddle about “senate oligarchy” did not intimidate him nor has the ill-advised antagonism toward the legislative branch fostered by the late Wil- ton administration goaded him in the least. The American form of government was based upon the theory of co-operation—co-operation among the states and co-operaion among the different branches of the government. Mr. Harding is a man of cooperating spirit, not an autocrat. He will recommend whet he deems wise; he will give counsel when it is asked, he will give due consideration to the views of members of the legislative branch, if their views differ from his, and, it may be safely asserted, he will have the courage to veto a measure, all things considered, if he believes it unwise. He will be a constitutional ex- ecutive, not a super-constitutional autocrat. i SL The best cel seem to be mostly sold out. STE tes TAXES A LOAD ON INDUSTRY. In discussing the federal tax situation the views of Chairman Good of the house committee on appropria- tions are interesting as well as valuable. He says: I believe our taxes have become such a load upon industry that they are harmful when viewed from the standpoint of national bonds and that these maturing obligations can best be met by borrowing the moncy with which to.pay them. Now, just suppose that you are managing a corporation that made a million dol- lays iast year and that you had a chance to put your profits back into the business and make twice as much money next year. If at the same time you owed $5,- 000,000 and were not being pressed for payment, would you not, if your creditors were willing, renew your indebtedness and reinvest your surplus? That is exactly the situation we have here. The government is not an institute apart from the people and separate from business. It is the people. And if the government insists on paying off these maturing obligations, there is no place from which the funds can come except from the channels of business. Every dollar that is taken out of business in taxes reduces) by one dollar. the possibilities of our national business expansion. et Postal revenue _-___ creased capital.demands, we then, in a broad and con- === Natrona | StFuctive way, shall do much for the upbuilding of a | bigger and better industrial America.

Miscellaneous taxes --_- Miscellaneous receipts — gether all interest on foreign debts, amounting to more than half a billion dollars. This money, if paid into thé United States treasury, might be applied on the retirement of outstanding obligations, but I am of the opinion that it is best to proceed without refer- ence to it-because in the event it is not paid congress would have fo go out afte: adJitional revenue. In proposing that customs revenues should approxi- mate $400,000;000 I believe that this is the maximum that may be derived from this source. It seems to me that we ought to repeal the tax on transportation which last year yielded more than $252,006,900 in taxes on freight and passenger fares. That service is already taxed to the breaking point and these taxes should be repealed. It will not be dif- ficult to find new miscellaneous sources of taxation that would not be burdensome to take their place. Last year there was taken from bonded warehouses almost 40,000,000 Hons of spirits. These spirits paid a tax of only $2.20 a gallon. They were with- drawn for medicinal purposes, but were used for bey- erage purposes. We ought to restore the tax of $6.40 a gallon, and by so doing could add to our revenue from this source alone from $50,000,000 to $100,- 000,000, depending ypon the amount of the with- drawals. ——_1_—______ THE RASIC OBLIGATIONS. In getting back to the basis of man to man in mat- ters affecting employer and employe Mr, C. E. Knoep- pel, himself a large manufacturer employing many men says there is need of education+on the part of the boss as well as the worker, and oftentimes the former is the harder to teach. His observations on the subject are worth while to both sides of industrial matters. His views are: “In all the negotiations between labor and capital there are certain basic obligations to the public which labor and capital are too often likely to forget. In- dustry, if it is to justify itself, must render. service not only to the investor, not only to the worker, but to the consumer. It must strike off the shackles of unnecessary costs due to idle buildings, idle ma- chines, idle men, idle capital. Service, at a profit, trust be the new order of things. Bankers, and other financiers who are part or quasi-owners of so many enterprises, should be brought to a realization that greater security for investments will follow wider adoption of industrial conservation. “From the standpoint of strict personal advantage it may seem to.the banker wise to approve loans to enterprises as large as are consistent’ with entire safety; but as a matter of industrial ethics it is ques- tdélly in usein business does not represent an eco- nomic waste in just the same. way as idle workers rop- jvesent waste. In either case the fault lies on the |shoulders of insufficient supervision, and all super- j vision unquestionably is a function of the industrial engineer. “Management, counseled by must study industrial fallacies, analyze ~ industrial } Wastes, determine responsibility for losses and inhibi- tions which restrict output, and then develop ways |and means whereby capital and labor will do all in their power to bring about stability. “Although I realize fully that costly errors have) been made and are being made by both labor and capital, I submit that the avoidable wastes, due to ill- directed and untrained management, are far costlier. | Not only can these wastes be corisidered in terms of dollars and cents but they can be calculated in terms of human energy, which has potential possibilities far beyond any sordid consideration. Through efficient management we must uncover and minimize, waste. We must insist that labor bear the burden due to its faults, and that capital bear the burden due to it. Only thus can we hope for that fuller understanding which must be in the end the foundation stone of right- eous industrial peace and stability.” ———_—__o—_______ RETTER WITHOUTH THE “KICK.” A watermelon grower has hit upon a plan to put a “kick” in the heretofore harraless watermelon, says |the Kansas City Star. He proposes to “plug” the melons when they are half grown, insert a specially prepared yeast in the cavity, seal up the “plug” and let the yeast mix with the natural sugar of the melon until, when ripe, it will produce a content guaranteed to be 10 per cent alcohol. Nix on that stuff! It is a scheme to raise the price' of a great family necessity. It is a slander upon a! heretofore stainless character. An effort to reduce other of our great American institutions to the base level of a blind tiger or a Kansas joint. | The story is a fake on the face of it. All of us who know the art and science of plugging a water- melon know that the scheme to ‘‘plug” a half-grown| melon and insert into its “innards” a cake of. yeast is| piffle. We have tried to seal the “plugs” on too many half-grown watermelons in order to hide our infamy to be fooled by any story of that kind. We have braved the barrage of double-barreled shotguns in the hands of angry farmers; we have risked our young ives too many times in scaling a barbed wire fence or climbing a thorn tree in dedging the watchful waiting policy of the faithful bulldog, not to know something about the science of “plugging” the watermelon while it is green. Ah, quit your kidding us! Try us on some story about crossing the strawberry with the hop, but lay off the watermelon with a “kick.” SEIS ea, 2 SUT THINKS WE KNOW ROADS. L. L. Newton of Cody, president of the Yellow. stone Highway association, writing to Fred Patee about a recent good roads article Mr. Pattee con- tributed to The Tribune, says: “I am pleased to read your article in The Tribune and to know of the straight-from-the-shoulder talk you gave the folks re- garding the Yellowstone highway.

It is perfectly developed in every respect, weighed 14 pounds at birth and was just 14 inches in height. The calf is the offspring of a Jersey cow and a thoroughbred Holstein sire. It was born on Monday morning and at first was too weak to stand. “Mr, German fed the calf with @ spoon and laid it out in the sunshine. and in an hour or two it ‘was able to get on its feet. While no word has been received by the Review since Tues- day, but there was every indica- {Uon that the calf would grow and thrive. It was covered with a sleek coat and is in excellent flesh. The calf must of necessity be a hand-raised youngster, owing to the fact that it {s not only too tiny to reach | the natural source of supply, but its fmouth is too small to take lunch in the ordinary manna-. | The Town He Founded. { (Cody Enterprise.) | The fond memories that have linked the town with Buffalo Bill will in a |short time be but reminiscences of | the past.

(Powell Tribune} Preliminary steps have been taken by Mayor Ide and the Powell town council for the submission to the vot- ers at the regular municipal election on May 10 of a proposition to vote 17,000 of electric light bonds. This .6 as much as can be legally voted at this time for the installation of an electric system in Powell, though the reclamation service estimated that it might require a greater sum than that to properly wire the ‘town and vigtall-meters, ‘ Anticipating a favorable vote on the Foposition by Powell people, the town Officials are taking prompt action on the ordering of material for construct- ing the electric system, Mayor Ide desires to get as much of this work done as possible before he goes out of office at the commencement of the new fiscal year, and as Councilmen Jetteris and Daniel go out of office ulso at that time it is thought best not to leave all the work for the new council to take hold of. it is not anticipated that there will develop any opposition to the voting ot bonds for promptly taking hold of this electric current as soon as it is made available.

The secon machine completed the side aill to the oil camp and moved around this Graw, continuing work up the canal.
