The season for road building for the year is prac- tically over. That is road building to advantage. Yet the governor gives as the only excuse for ng the entire summer, before resuming activities under the bond issue voied last May, that he was ‘waiting for “things to come down.” It is assumed that the gov- ernor means snow and rain. The people in the northern portion of the state have grown restive and the Sheridan Enterprise recounts the experience of a citizen of Weston coanty in a re- sume of the general highway situation in the follow- ing manner: é “In answer to an inquiry from C. P. Meek of Up- ton, Wyo., and published in the Weston County Ga- zette, Governor Robert D. Carey goes on record as stating that the reason for delay in the road construc- tion work in northern Wyoming has been due to his desire to save money by waiting for times to pick up. “Any desire to exercise economy:in the disposition of public moneys at this time is commendable, yet the very fact that the governor would arbitrarily with- hold public construction work under the circumstances is breaking faith with the people who voted the state road bond issue. If the people had LS ahaee enh it was desirable to refrain from road cofstructibn’ at this time because of the high cost of road’ building, they would have said so when they voted.on May 10. to is- sue $1,800,000 in-state. bonds for road construction. “By an overwhelming majority, the people of the state of Wyoming voted to expend: the-largest sum of money which had ever been authorized in this state for the building of.roads. In‘ doing so, they were. given to understand that the federal government would. equal this sum, dollar for dollar, on. road work in the state. The campaign slogan which had’ been instru- mental in floating this enormous bond issue was that the opening of immediate construction work. would furnish employment to the state’s unemployed during a@ period when business depression was unusually severe. “The pledge that the money for these bonds would “be placed in circulation immediately, thereby doing =a great dea] towards relieving business conditions and = furnishing a means of livelihood for the many people who ‘had been suddenly thrown out of work, did more, _ perhaps, than anything else to bring out a record vote ‘in favor of the bond issue. Governor Carey is well aware of these conditions yet he has permitted the summer to pass without doing one thing to relieve them. “Mr. Meek is quoted in the Weston County Gazette as having written Governor Carey that ‘so far there has been absolutely no-work started in this section of the state. You will recall the promise made during the campaign to put over these bonds, the chief line of argument being that the highway work would give employment to large numbers of men and teams and that this would put a lot of money in circulation, right away, during these tight times when we need the work. > “To date nothing has been done here. The peo- ple, many of them with teams and willing to work, are without employment and without any means of laying in any supplies for winter. If we could get some action and put into circulation in Crook and Weston counties anything like $100,000 or $150,000, we could change the whole situation and everyone that wanted work would have it.’ “The governor’s reply to this communication states, in effect, that the delays have been due to the fact that in his opinion money could bé saved by waiting for things to come down. “J have felt,’ his letter continues, ‘that with the sale of wool and livestock, the banks can be relieved to a large extent, and that contracts can then be let to better advantage than earlier in the season. I ap- preciate that the people need work and money, and I fee] that the time has now come for the highway commission to let contracts and to get busy.’ “Thus, arbitrarily and in direct violation of the wishes of the people, the most valuable season for road construction work has been permitted to pass without one effort having been pledged, It is stuted authoritatively that not one state contract for road work has been let in northern Wyoming since the bond issue was passed, “Meanwhile, criticism has been made that the state fias curtailed its maintenance work on many of its roads in this section of the country to the extent that much of the good work which’had been previously done by the state highway commission has been per- mitted to rm down. This especially is true over the Custer Battlefield highway in Sheridan, Campbell and Crook counties. “The least that can be done now is that the period of apathy be verminated at once, that some consid- eration be given at once to the letting of contracts, long over due. ——$—__o—__—_—— WANTS TO KNOW. ‘The Wheatland Times is also wondering why the day ofa taxless Wyoming recedes instead of arrives. ‘That newspaper has heard the oft repeated bunk from the state capital that the revenues‘ of the state were increasing so rapidly that the necessity for tax levies for state purpose would shortly. be superfluous. The Times desires light on several points. Possibly there is somebody down around the gtate house who can shed the light. We are all in the same situation, and condition of darkness. This is the Times’ appeal: Phe editer of this paper came | to Wyoming 24 years ago. The population of the state at that time A ITERATE LI TIO i Departments | | ment, and we opine that many of our readers are in was consiceravie jess than it is now. ‘he great ce- sire of tne stare al ta5% ame was more peopie to de velop its vast racural resources, Every joyal news- paper in the state then—and yet—constantly put forth 148 utmost efforts to tell the world of Wyoming's un- paralelied business opportunities, High state taxes were a factor that many newcomers objected to, but it was, and still is, a widely preached theory that with larger population of natural re- and development sources into taxable property the tax levy would natu- rally decrease; that with more peopie to pay for state . President and Editer| government, and more property to assess, the rels- tuve cost of conducting the business of the state would be lowered. “The theory has not panned out in practice. With the increasing population and the addition of taxable property taxes continually go up instead of down. If this same thing is to follow through future years, we further development. Instead of having the state it might be more profitable to have a board of emigration. It is only fair to say, in passing, that what is true of Wyoming is equally true in other western states. “Will some student of political economy offer an ex- planation of why practical resuits are ‘so completely at iance with the theories that we accepted so many years ago? We'd really like to know. “It is easy to understand’ why nationa] taxes should be so high. The nation has been dancing to the music played by the god of war, and we've ‘got to pay the fiddler. But that has little or nothing to do with state taxe “As before intimated, we are ready for enlighten- a similar frame of mind. ee eee THE GOVERNOR HONORED. It is noticed in the public prints that Governor Rob- ert D. Carey of Wyoming has accepted membership in the Army and Navy Institute and the Army and Navy clubs of America, has become a member of the general committee and chairman for Wyoming. The objects of the institute, which will shortly open a $600,000 clubhouse in New York, are to “encourage, teach, and promote patriotism and loyal citizenship” and to maintain a center where officers of the regu- lar establishment and comrades who served overseas may gather and fraternize. . it is well that there be a headquarters where hero- ism may be recounted and mutual admigation indulged on a brief vacation tour of the state, afforded It is just ‘©be.

The high command accumulated halos, by reason of being the high command. ernment’s financial investment in officers was deemed too great to admit of risks that made heroes. The regular heroes of the war will never gather arotind the big fireplace in the New York clubhouse. They were the .boys who occupied the front trenches and went over the top and mixed with the enemy. The Sergeant Yorks who brought them into camp or Stretched” them out cold and took their fighting tools away from them. The buck privates, your boy and your neighbor's boy, were the fellows who won the war and performed the deeds of real heroism. These will be known at the faniily hearthstone but will not be boasted in the New York clubhouse, It would seem that.the governor would feel strange- ly out of place in the military and naval set and there would be at times a sad regret that he had not availed himself of the offer of a commission by the then gov- ernor of Wyoming, which would have taken him to the front, and in this day would have made him eligible to full fellowship with the heroes and near heroes who will gaze through the plate glass ‘upon the passing throng of Fifty-ninth street. -It-is~the saddest commentary of all, that the gov- ernor’s wat activities and deepest interest should oc- cur so long after the ending of the war.

The lust of the brute simply swept things along to the fatal finale in the latest instance. There never has been and never will be but one re- sult of disobedience of the moral law. It is certain and sure. The interpreter is the still small voice of conscience. Arbuckle may and may not receive what is called justice at the hands of his peers; but in all of his after life he will realize that common decency and correct conduct offer a form of investment that pays higher dividends to-the ordinary mortal than any other engagement in which he could place the capi- tal with which nature endowed him. The appeal from the eastern coast to the western coast will somehow, some way be answered—justly. 1 - + THE WORLD'S AGE. The burning question of debate before the British association is, whether the world is from eight to ten billion years old as one faction contends or only from two to three billion years of age. The former school of thought bases its findings upon “radio-a e meth- ods of calculation,” the latter upon the “saltiness of the sea.” It would seem that there could be no more impor- tant question before the world than this. The mys- teries of creation, the life after death, the age of Ann and all other unanswered questions of the ages are trivial in comparison with the settlement of the point as between two billion and ten billion. The mat- ter should be referred to the Honorable Kenesaw Mountain Landis of the Chicago federal bench, um- pire and arbitrator-at-large in the hope of settling upon a figure somewhere between the extremes of two and ten billion years. Meanwhile it would be well that the world stand still and hold its breath until the verdict is handed i down. 4 Ost PR ie OR ‘ EARLY PROGRESS. ‘ It may be said that already the armaments confer- ence has accomplished actual results. Japan, as the date of the meeting approaches, appears stimulated to great exertion to settle some of the disquieting Pa- cific and Asiatie questions before the conference is called. to order on Armistice Day. For some time Tokio has been in communication with Washington in an endeavor to reach a settlement of the Yap prob- lem and the question of cable communication in- volved therein. Japanese relations with Siberia have also formed a subject for recent diplomatic exchanges, and the return of Shantung to China promises to be an event of the near future as the outcome of nego- tions between Japan and China. With those three agreements consummated before November 11, of course their consideration will be removed from the conference, but President Harding can claim credit for hastening, their solution and reducing by that much the probability of future wars. 1 ie SS EL The 1921 straw Hat season may be considered of- ficially closed 5 Bunion Plasters? the only thing that helps my jolt bean coffee.
