The lopping off of two thousand workers is insignificant. It must be remembered that these men were extra men, employed on construction. When * construction, mapped out for the season is completed or nearly so, there is no use for these extra crews, so they are discharged. The forces at the refineries have been cut to prac- tically the same number as was employed before new construction began in the spring, and the payroll is exactly the same as in 1920, That surely was a pros- . perous year for Casper. It is true that there is no market at the present time for by-products and a very limited market for kerosene for reasons often explained. There is, how- ever a market for gasoline. There is no immediate likelihood of the refineries shutting down. There will be a curtailment of pro- duction of crude oil until adjustments in markets occur. The industrial situation, today is a duplicate of this time a year ago. , With the same number of employes at work earning the same wages and the surplus la- bor paid and gone. Meanwhile material is being moved to the site of a new refinery to be built by the Producers & Refiners and this undertaking will ab- sorb any idle labor that may be in the city. It would be impossible for anyone to tell by ap- pearances in Casper that there was the slightest change in industrial or business affairs, or that the departure’ of two thousand has made the slightest rip- ple. Casper is a big town and there is always a large movement in labor circles. Outside alarm for Cas- per is not warranted by conditions actually existing in Casper. (ese ee CUSSING OUR ROADS. Automobilists touching at the oasis of Casper all bring the same story of rough voyages over Wyoming roads. It does not matter from which direction they come the complaints are largely the same and equally loud. From the stories told it would seem that the commissioners of local Wyoming counties had: about abandoned road work or were waiting for the state highway commission to bring hard surfaced roadways to their door. There are now and again short stretches where an automobile travels with some com- fort but the other stretches are rough, cut up, full of holes, washed out places, mud holes or are impassable from other causes. It is the general cry that Wyo- ming roads have néver been in such a state. The Cody entrance to the park, at least the Canyon road from Cody to the dam, comes in for its share of abuse. The state highways in process of construction, re- pair or maintenance are said, with few short smooth excepted, to be on a par with ordinary county roads. The state is full of tourists. There are said to be a greater number on the road than ever before and if what is reported by travelers is true we will re- ceive due advertisement for our delinquency in road work. Last year at this time Wyoming was receiving con- siderable praise for the excellent condition and re- pair of her public roads. Have we forgotten that roads need constant at- tention to keep them in travelable shape or have we lain down on the job? UP AGAINST IT. A prominent citizen who has a fine lawn in front of ‘his residence and takes pride in it and has care- fully eradicated the dandelions therefrom and to make sure works it over every other day, reports hav= ing extracted over three hundred young dandelions this morning. The cause of the invasion of the pest ig not due to neglect on the part of the owner but to the carelessness of the neighbors who permit the yel- low peril to flourish and go:to seed and supply this particular householder with fresh crops of dandelions for which he does not care. Not being interested in any decoctions that may be manufactured by extraction or otherwise from the dandelion, he does not desire to cultivate them. His highest purpose is to get rid of them. Our citizen is one who always has and hopes to live forever in peace and harmony with his neighbors. What is he to do? Suffer in silence and keep on dig- ging dandelions or abandon the greensward to its fate? The question is too momentous to decide off hand, we must take it under advisement. Several solutions come to mind. One is to move out of the neighborhood, another pave the lawn with concrete, still another to erect signs in plain view! of | the dandelion seed that strays from the neighbor's yard to “keep off the grass.” Some of these sugges. tions may not be practical, some may not even be desirable, still anything is worth trying once. —<$—_—__o—______ THE NARROWNESS OF SOME YANKEES. __ The northeast corner of the United States, embrac-| ing the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, | Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, com. monly called New England, has become entirely wrapped up in her own importance. < a degree of provincialism and intolerance that is growing tiresome to the rest of the country.

New England simply thinks} England. benefit to in terms o' flects New England opinion, speaking of the project coneludes a long editorial in this characteristically narrow New England fashion: “It is probable that the New England representa-| will see a great dea! to arouse their interest and even their enthusiasm, but it is hard to understand how they can discover in it any prospect of direct advan- tage to our section ing it altogether, it appears to be a rather ev scheme for getting away from | New England. , it could hardly fail to/ diminish the relative importance of the railways which} are our main dependence in the maintenance of our commercial importance. As far as power is con- cerned, we have that in abundance within our own limits, more readily accessible than if generated in the St. Lawrence valley. We may hope that the New England delegates on this expedition will have a good time, but it is to be expected that they will require to be ‘shown’ before giving the project their unquali- fied indorsement.” It would seem to be about time a select committee from the north, south and west led little old New Eng- land to the woodshed and with a stout oaken barrel stave impressed upon her understanding that selfish- ness is a sin, not to be tolerated in the family; and if she could not be nice about dividing up the candy with the rest of her sisters, without making faces or pouting, she would have to be locked in the dark closet and sent to bed without any supper. If New England would break away from the mo-| notony of her dinky seaside resorts and spend a sum- mer touring the wide spaces of the west she would to a factory where shoddy pants material is made and sold for virgin wool. She could also learn that her whole New England territory, around which she believes the earth and all the other planets revoive, could be gathered up and dropped into Jackson’s Hole without even making one little “plunk”; and Mr. Jackson would never know that anything ‘had hap- pened to his hole. ee tl The Non-Partisan League has a recruit in the per- son of John Skelton Williams, Mr. Wilson’s comptrol- ler of the currency. John Skelton is now one of the league's speakers. wo ee GUARD THE TREASURY! The president’s warning to congress against the folly of the soldiers’ bonus is the voice of prudence, says the Washington Post. It reflects the opinion of the American people and it effectually answers the charge that the republic is ungrateful to its defenders. Congress is now plainly put on notice that it im- perils the national finances when it dallies with the soldiers’ bonus. »The gountry is groaning under taxes that should have been lifted at least two years ago. The government is spending money at a profligate rate for objects that could be dispensed with. Presi- dent Harding asks for speeding action on the tax re- duction measures, and gives assurances that there will be a strong drive for the reduction of expenditures. He asks that the efforts for economy inthe govern- ment be not discouraged by legislation which will squander billions. The able-bodied men who served in:the army and navy during the late war are not demanding the bonus. They have been misrepresented by some of their kind, and politicians have jumped in to win per- sonal popularity by currying favor with the soldiers through a raid on the treasury in their favor. But the service men belong to the country’s population and are a producing part of it. They want work, not charity. They would profit by reduced taxes, stimu- lation of industry and government economy. They would not profit by receiving individual pittances, which in the aggregate would break down the treas- ury and demoralize industry. Let there be an end of politics in this business. Let the warning of the president of the United States be} heeded by congress. If it is not heeded, the people will pass judgment on the offenders against the coun- try’s solvency. wt LEONARD THE FIRST—KING. “About the best thing we can do for the Philip- Pines if they must have independence,” says the San Francisco Chronicle, “is to make them a present of General Leonard Wood as king. Shove them. off to sail the seas alone if there is no other way out of it but, out of some regard for their safety, give them the best pilot we can afford. “Leonard Wood ought to make a first class king for the Filipinos. understands them. He has brains, courage and force. pels us to believe that the Filipinos are not likely to go it alone successfully under any other form of gov. ernment than that of an enlightened, benevolent and powerful autocrat. “Until comparatively recently the United States stood in that relation to the islands and they did well. The reports that come of shipwrecked finance, disor- ganized justice and prevalent graft do not indicate that the islands are doing very well under the experi- } ment in self-government granted them during the | Wilson-Harrison regime. _“They need a king. It galls the pride of the Fili- pinos to have the United States acting in that capac- ity, even though Uncle | srandfatherly monarch. Very well, then.

Following the sound precedent by | which new kingdoms avoid internal jealousies by go- ing outside for their monarchs, we nominate General | Wood because he seems to be about the best material to be found for a king of the Philippines.
