The flagrant violations of laws and ordinances, prac- ticed with impunity day after day, have been pointed out repeatedly. The financial condition has been directed to your at- tention, together with the extrayagance, inefficiency and ignorance of the conduct of public business that nets you not a doilar’s worth of value for the dollar expended as it should, but only 60 per cent. The other 40 per cent is waste. The price you are paying for inability and inattention to your business—the biggest business in Casper. . Under present conditions Casper is not an ideal place in which to bring up your family and-prepare them for citizenship. The point is, what are you going to do about it? Always remember that the whole matter constitutes your own business. It is for you to suggest and direct what you desire in the way of improvement and better- ment. It is for you to select the very men you want to conduct your public business. It looks like a clean sweep of the old regime is good business sense. : It would appear that a new order of things with carefully chosen public officers held hope at least. Whatever you do, don’t be led’ away from your de- termination to have better things. This is the time to strike. This is the day to enforce your demands for decency, ability and faithful accounting of stewardship. The Tribune still asks you how it can serve you.
