One Year -- Six Months Three Months One Month the representative banking and financial interests of the empire. The result has been a counterpart of the experi ence of every other nation attempting post-war re- construction upon unsound bases, except that eifects have shown in more drastic form. Unemployment has grown to alarming proportions, prices are ex- tremely high; preventing wage reductions; if there were any demand for workers. The government has resorted to almost every expedient to prevent wide- spread bankruptcy, and is now simply lending en- couragement to dodging the world-wide issues, All industries ..nd production activities have prac- tically closed down. The leading financiers have protested against the attempt to amend the law of supply and demand, but the interests which are temporarily benefiting by gov- ernment assistance are too powerful to be denied, while all the public knows is that taxes are increas- ing greatly, without connecting the cause and effect. SPU ee THE HOLES REMAIN WITH US. Although it is“a painful subject to mention, ne- cessity compels us to again refer to the holes in the paving that the Warren Construction company con- tinues to neglect, much to the discomfort of our peo- ple who own and operate automobiles, which means abéut everybody. . These holes are a menace. They ought to be re- ired.

Hayes of Sheriaan, who has just been chosen president of the state dental association, in session here, is many other things besides an expert dentist. In Sheridan, which has been his home for something like eighteen years, he is a popular and public spirited citizen. He has been a member of the school board and {ts clerk almost all the years he has been a citizen and to his efforts may be cred- ited to large extent the magnificent modern school buildings and the splendid publi¢ schools. He is a star baseball and football player and an all around athletic department of the schools and saw to othletic department of the schools and saw to it that a well equipped gymnasium and all outdoor and in- door paraphernalia was provided. And another thing the doctor has a reputation in local theatrical circles. He does tragedy or comedy with equal facility and no barnstorming effort is com- plete without him in the leading role. In conclusion, he is a Congregationalist and drives a Cadillac. That is all and the worst we know about Dr. Hayes. ase) Na *» 9 DERYING ECONQMI Ws. Ignoring the law of pal pe lemand: the i- ness interests of Japan ar- plunging into economical error. Instead of accepting existing world commer- cial conditions, taking ‘the inevitable losses and speed- ing up production upon the new basis Japanese com- mercial interests are attempting to dispose of atct- mulated stocks at war prices under the plan of limit- ing production. This is agai tthe advice and with the warning of terror to those who do the riding. It is no nice thing to see scattered all over the pub- lic streets every morning regular automobile parts and costly accessories and to hear the deep bass pro- ~|fanity of those who, perforce, must pay the repair bills. That would not be so bad, were it not for the fre- quent total loss of machines, crews, passengers and freight by plunging into these abysses unexpectedly. Wrecking crews, from one to many, are now a regu- lar fenture of every garage in town. Some are con- templating an undertaking department for the ac- commodation of their patrons, There was, we believe, some desultory effort, by the Warren company about twé weeks ago to patch up the gaping wounds in the paying, but the operations were begun in the outskirts of the city and to the hour of going to press the repairing crew had not ad- vanced to hailing distance of the nearest telephone. There might be some action secured against the dilatory tactics of the patching force if the city au- thorities had not curled up and gone to sleep when spring fever set in on the former. It is no longer a question as to choice between your tar and your airplane. The air routes are crowded. BRS SET SE A DOCTRINE OF JUSTICE. Dr. Louis Drago, the Argentine statesman, has just passed to his reward after a long life of usefulness to his native land. Whatever that reward in the world beyond may be he deserved well of the West- ern hemisphere in this world. He it was who ehun- ciated what came to be known as the Drago doctrine in international practice. It was a denunciation of the employment of the military or naval forces of one government to enforce payment of claims of its citizens from another government. It was a prin- ciple of justice which has come to be generally recog- nized and was in line with the Monroe doctrine of the United States and regarded as lending strength thereto. Formerly, it was rather a common occurrence for a principal power to give a demonstration of its strength to coerce a weaker nation into placing upon a preferred, creditor basis, debts due the subjects of the former. Dr.. Drago .expressed what ought to have been the world’s»opinion- respecting the practice and he lived to see it accepted and very generally observed. 2 —_——— oO Admiral Sims has returned to Am , and at once departed for Washington to learn what there is in the ry that-h to be interviewed in’ the woodshed. RAMBLING WOIDS, That’s All! « Taxpayer Wants to Know. Editor Tribune: Win you kindly try answering the following questions through your newspaper: . No. 1—Why does not the city erect “danger” signs at washed-out places in the city streets? McKinley . crossings were washed out and! no signs. were anywhere. to be seen. No. 2—How many more places are there like this one? : No. 3—During the Memorial parade I passed the filling station back of the Natrona hotel. Some accident be the result had some thoughtless person thrown a lighted cigaret or tuia? ‘ No. 4—Why does the police depart- ment permit drunks and neardranks to parade on Center street and offer insults to Iadies passing upon the side- walk? No.- 5—What becomes of the $9,500 fund that was subscribed for the Boy Scouts? I have a boy, a first-class scout. Every time a new button or badge comes out dad floats the bill. Dad pays his membership bill and when on a scout camping campaign dad pays $5 per we> ‘or his support. ‘What is the $9,500 tuna for? . 6—Why does not the mayor en- force the sanitary ordinance compell- ing citizens to connect with the sewers? Some do and: some do not. Is there hidden graft or is it negii- gence of official duty? TAX PAYER AND KNOCKER. The Answers. ‘To questions numbers 1 and 2: The city authorities do attempt to protect the public at dangerous points “upon the public streets. In the washed- out area, in the eastern section of'the city, to which you refer, we observed one sign “street closed.” It was the only one we happened to notice, and it was down near the lower or north end of the street, and it had been re moved from the centers to the” side of the street to enable cars to pass over the street. -The washed-out ‘con- dition made it extremely dangerous for use. There were no red lights anywhere in sight. There are many more just such places as you speak off throughout the city. The officer in charge of the streets is negligent in his duty when he does not protect all such danger- ous places; and the city is lable for damages in case of accident or injury to citizens. In your question number 3, the ac- ci¢ont may have been unavoidable and the filling . station man _ entirely blameless. It was his duty, however, to. warn the public away from that vicinity .so long as the danger existed and if necessary, to call the city po lice to keep the public at a distance. If a lighted cigaret or match came in contact with five gallons of gasoline and many people were close at hand it would be a miracle if th not a batch of mew angels in very suddenly. Answering number 4; The pdlic department doubtless goes the | upon theory that under prohibition there can be no.such thing as a drunk or: near-drunk. The idea ‘prevails that “there ain't no such animal.” — It the officers acknowledge that intoxica- tion existed, it ‘would lead to the fact local moonbeamers were active in kitchen and cellar, which is contrary to law. This acknowledgment would entail the further duty of hunting down these lawbreakers. This is regu- lar work and police officers are in- clined to avoid it. As for offering af- front to a lady. upon the street or elsewhere, it is the dwty of every right- minded American citizen to smash the offender, drunk or sober, if he can— lighted match into this inflammable} — Fog ity afk ORE iy | and other items of legitimate character, the data upon which Captain Black would be pleased to disclose upon request.
