The force of publicfopinion, coupled with executive urging has brought congress aro@nd to a sense of i' duty. After devoting its tim@ to a lot of legisl: tion of small importance in’ comparison the house h: rolled up its sleeves and apparently gone to work in earnest on matters of taxation. The lower branch could have saved itself no end of criticism, and would now stand better in the public estimation, had it taken hold of this subject in the first place and put some steam behind the effort. Promises were made to correct inequalities in taxation and to provide a simpler form, so people would know what to expect and to arrange accordingly. No one expected any notable reduction, but people were disgusted at being| at the mercy of a lot of government clerks and re- sented scratching up money to be paid over to the same old spendthrifts and inefficient dawdlers fast- ened onto the departments by the profligate Wilson zegime, Things could have been made much smoother | z. had ithe’ house reformed the tax jaws at once and the| 7 president had cleaned the departments of the Wilson| hangovers. There will be no cessation of public cri- ticism until the two branches of congress cease to| »pass the. buck. to and fro between themselves with an occasional pass to the other end of the avenue, and settle down to conform to the will of the people and redeem platform promises. | The Fordney tariff is likely to repose in the senate finance committee for some time while the general public tells what is the matter with it; and! in the interim taxation should be given the right of way through both branches, If congress has ahy sore spots on its sensitive an- atomy fromcontact with public wrath, it has itself to blame. The inclination now is to take the lower house at its word and uphold it in its present promise of good | works. Working in harmony with the public is much| the better way. height of only directed from fly be the case if siles were let screen, or man to take place, boat would be that will make heated term in the transportati vate ownership and control.” srper Be | WYOMING—AND ITS FUTURE. | It is pleasure always to read what Maj. Frederick R.| Marvin; editor of the Mountain States Banker, has to Say on any subject. He is a-fellow toiler in the great Vineyard who is constantly turning out worthwhile crops. He is thoroughly American, jealows of the | established institutions of his country, far sighted, and hesitates not, to point to. the dangers that ‘threaten| the public good, in manner and language that inspire | Markham, who confidence in these who desire the right and terror to| hand and work those who would encroach upon the right.

Under the| It is altogether title, “Wyoming—And Its Future,” this article, from| tive talents an the pen of Major Marvin, appears in the latest issue | of the Mountain States Banker: “For many years, in the minds of the great majority of the people of this country, the word Wyoming sug- gested only cowboys, badmen, the “wild and woolly,” and this, no doubt, because so niuny writers, dealing with these subjects, located their scenes in Wyoming. “In recent years there has been considerable change, and when one mentioned Wyoming the people began to think of.oil.

The latest platform of the Republican party to spek on the question, and therefore the authoritative utterance on the subject of government ownership was the Chicago platform of 1920. It says: “We aré opposed to government ownership and op- eration or employe operation of the railroads. Ini view of the conditions prevailing in this country, the ex perience of the last tyo years, and the conclusions which may fairly be drawn from an observation of ion systems of other countries, it is clear that adequate transportation service both for the present and the future can be furnished more certainly, economically and efficiently through. pri- and operation under proper regulation This declaration was based upon principles, the soundness of which has been demonstrated whenever government ownership has been tried. The platform not only opposes government operation but employe eperation as well. This was a direct attack upon the Plumb plan, which contemplates operation by em- ference that the man who has conduct- ed small business affairs in such a way as to accumu- late savings which he invests in a larger enterprise, is best able to conduct the larger concern. sonable conclusion, for example, that Charles H.

Where he got it, or how, I do not know, but I do know that he had it. It was: his idea that Peoria could be made the Jobbing center for agricultural tmple- ments for the United States, And he made it so. His name was Martin Kingman, and as he had been a classmate of my mother during their childhood days, T grew up to know him exceedingly well. He was a_ straightforward Christian genlteman, and although a very busy man during the week, he was never so busy that he couldn't take Sunday for o day of rest, and he spent that day doing good for athers, He taught a Sunday school class, and the boys who went to him stayed with him and attended his cisss every Sunday they were in town for many years, I did for more than twenty years, and forty or fifty others did the same. One time after Mr. Kingman had be- come a milifonatre, he thought he would take a long vacation that his family had been urging him to take and forget business absolutely. So he started out, and after a few weeks he met a regular globe trotter, a man who did nothing else—made it his bust- ness to travel and make investments. Mr. Kingman tried to get him to go home with -him to Peoria. No, said the man, Peoria has a rotten hotel and I will not go there. Urge him all he could the man was) set on that one point, and it set Mr. Kingman to thinking. He knew there was some- thing the matter with Peoria; but he did not realize that {t was the hotel. His own home was clean and comfort- able, and he had no occasion to have to put up with the discomforts of a hotel, but the more he thought of it ,the more he determined to. look into it when he got home, So it happened that ht called the Principat business men together and they organized a new hotel company, and built the new National hotel, Then the commercial club began te wake up, and they started a propaganda for bringing manufacturing concerns and Peoria took on an entirely new growth and became a manufacturing Richard H.

New faflroads built in, and new business came, the streets were paved and it became a real city, and it all started with that new hotel. Today there is a great diversity of interests there, so that the laying off of all men from any one plant would not mean anything for the progress of the city. John D. Reckefelier bought the sugar plant and moved {t away from town taking way or laying off thou- sands of men, but it did not hinder the progress of the city in the least. It continued to grow and prosper. Other factories came in, and the men were absorbed, and the payrolis continued to grow. Not one payroll but hundreds of them. Men who con- trolled millions did not hesitate to come to Peo: for they knew they could live just as comfortably at the new hotel there as they could in Chi- cago. They came and spent their money and brought prosperity with them. The chamber of commerce, banking interests generally can well afford to for Casper. at this time.

Last week a movement was put on ten ranch and within a very short ‘ime funds were subscribed to pur- chase necessary materials and trucks engaged to haul them to the site and a working force organized to do the work. Sunday a number of Riverton cars loaded with twenty-seven enterprising men of this city departed for Sweet- water. They were joined at Sand Draw by three men from the Pro- ducers and Refiners camp, The des. tination was reached and camp pitched. At 5 o'clock Monday morn- ing breakfast was served and. work started. By 4 o'clock in the after- noon the bridge, of trestie construc- tion 44 feet long, was completed and ready for fill at the ends. ‘The labor wag donated by the men, the materials hauled to the ground free of charge by Riverton truck men and all the bridge cost was for lumber. The structure is on the Riverton vad to Rawlins, a route much shorter than any other from this portion of the state. The read is now in fair condition and more work will be done from time to time to put it in first class shape and thus divert travel that is now forced to go out of their way to reach Riverton and the direct route to the Yellowstone park. AN UPTON NATURE FAKER. (Upton Gazette.) Turner McKenzie has a ranch near Upton and on this ranch there are among other things, a turtle and a duck. Now, it chanced on a certain morning, not long ago, that the duck and turtle/met at the wiiter tank for ® cool sip of the nectar. And so it happened, according to eye witnesses, that the turtle made a slighting remark to the duck call- ing it nothing less than a quack, whereupon the turtle, being of the snapping retaliated by splash- ing water on the duck’s chin. The duck, insulted to the quick, pecked at the turtle and broke its bill on the turtie’s tard shell. The turile flipped his tail in the duck's face and started off. The duck seized the tail and swalli the turtte. Turner missed the turtle and, no- tleing the peculiar wobble of the duck, put two and two Tr, and oper- ated on the duck with a butcher knife. ‘The “turtle walked out in a state of abashment but in tolerable humor. a week. facts of this story with the exception of ene.
