Harang wanted reducuon of armament, he mace a deuniwe pian that specined what snips would be scrapped and wnat ones retained. That was a concrete and definite step toward resuits. Now he has made a similar move in domestic affairs. He has notified officialdom that Director of the Budget Dawes, in gathering miform: nm, acts for the presi- dent and caiis upon the chiefs of bureaus and other administrative oimcers for purposes of consultation or imformation takes precedence over the cabinet head ot a department or any head of an independent or- ganization. This 1s the method and the only method that wili get resuits. in his effort to reduce federal expondi- tures, President Harding has the full approvai ana co- operation of the memuers of his Cabinet, who are heads of cepariments. But he has not tue iui co- operation of heads of bureaus, many of waom are hold-overs from the wasteful and extravagant Vemo- cratic administration. it is not likely that any head of a bureau would directly and openiy defy the di- rector of the budget, but many of them, jealous of their petty power, wouid evade or delay giving infor- mation that would be helpful in the effort to cut ex- penses. -Accustomed to the red-tape methods, they can find innumerable excuses for not yielding full and hearty co-operation with the director of the budget. The order of the president, making the official status of the director entirely clear, ought to help not only in speeding up the retrenchment, movement but in mak- ing the results greater when accomplished. The president’s course ‘is wise from another view- point. The particular task of Mr. Dawes is to find ways of discontinuing useless work, eliminating du- plication of work and cutting out work which, though useful, is not essential. If he is to find ways of ac- complishing these things, he must have the power to ask for and secure full and prompt information. Un- less he has that power, he cannot reasonably be held accountable for results. Having given Mr. Dawes full power in getting infor- mation, the president places upon the director full = responsibility for devising plans for retrenchment. yNbhy Hee TN & @ = = = E é (gen 4 That is the way things are done in successful pri- vate business and it is well to have the same plan pursued in government business. The Harding idea is more business in government and less government in business. The country holds the president respon- sible for results in administration of the executive de- partments, for he is the ultimate authority. The president has made Mr. Dawes head of the budget bu- reau, has given him plenary power, and can hold him responsible accordingly. If the budget plan does not work, it will nbt be the fault of the president. a a ee TARIFF LEGISLATION. The congress will doubtless devote the remainder of the year to the clearing of the deck for the passage of the tarif bill which will come on after the first of the new year. A review of legislative action concerning the tariff Dill is pertinent at this time. Considerabie prelimin- ary action had been taken in 1920 toward its consid- eration in the house. January 6 of this year, formal hearings on the tariff question were initiated, proceed- ing until February 16. Importers and manufacturers, without partiality were given audience by the ways and means committee, so that in no sense could the measure be said to favor one class more than another. June 29 the tariff bill was submitted to the house and promptly referred to the ways and means com- mittee. July 6 it was formally reported back to the house and debate began, extending to July 21, when the bill was passed-by a vote of 288 to 127. The bill was a frankly protective measure carrying out the campaign promise of the Republican party for “a re- vision of-the tariff as soon as conditions shall make it mecessary for the preseryation of the home mar- ket for American labor, agriculture and industry.” During the previous calendar year no less than $5,- 800,000,000 worth of imports had entered this coun- try. Meanwhile, and while the bill was under debate, + agriculture was threatened with a terrific amount of competition from abroad and there was an insistent demand ‘from the agricultural interests that some- thing be done immediately for them. They did not + think the situation would wait for the final adoption of the general tariff bill. So, on May 27, the emer- gency tariff bill was passed which granted protection © to farm products. July 22 the general tariff bill was referred to the finance committee of the senate, which determined, = after considerable pressure had been brought to bear, to hold supplementary hearings, which commenced July 25, and which were continued daily until con- gress recessed late in August because of the absolute exhaustion of many of the members. During the recess there was an irresistible move- ment all over the country to induce congress to give priority in legislation to the tax bill and since the agricultural interests had been taken care of by way of the emergency tariff and imports were falling off congress was the more ready to bow to this opinion. So, on September 21, the tax bill moved up to dis- place the tariff bill, and the former was passed Nov- ember 7. The tariff bill carried something of an in- novation in what is known as the “American valua- tion” clause, which bases ad valorem duties on the domestic selling price, and wishing @ eecare all the| information possible on that subject, the senate ap-/ pointtd a committee to undertake an exhaustive in-| vestigation of the matter. That , investigation has been going on fur some time and as it proceeds it} trengthens the belief of the majority in the feasibil- ity of the clause. There is no doubt that it will be retained in the final draft of the bill. A few days ago the emergency tariff bill was again extended, this time until the general tariff bill be- comes s law; and supplemental hearings are being held by the senate to clarify disputed points respect- ing certain agricultural products. It is confidently predicted that the Fordney-Penrose tariff bill will be- came a Jaw not later than the fore part of March, 1922. ES a A WORTHY TRIBUTE. We Americans will always delight to honor the memory of George Waskington. And why should we not? His life and his works were worthy in every way. They are an inspiration today as they have been for more than a hundred years. The youth of this nation can find no more perfect model for emulation than the first president. In his address on the octasion of the laying of the cornerstone of the national Victory memorial in Washington, President Harding giving an analysis of the will of George Washington, called attention to the fact that among many other devises was one “for the endowment of 4 university in a central part of the United States,” arti the president, in his concluding remarks, said of that document, “‘as a charter of good citizenship and pxtriotie purposes this last will and testament has been an inspiration many times to me.” The truth of that statement was evidenced by the zeal with which Harding revered the memory of, and the policies laid down by, Washington in the campaign of 1920, which resulted in the overwhelming decision that this nation shouid maintain its independence. s for the clause of Washington’s will which pro- vided for a university, it is understood that a sum econsiderable for those days was set aside to initiate the founding of a university and that this sum was in the form of certain canal bonds. The canal was long since filled in but the purpese ef the Father of-Our Country, while it s been permitted to ianguish, has sever died. 1 attempts have been made to arry it out, no y in 1907 when the George Wash- gton university sought to constitute itself the nu- leus of a great national university and solicited funds for its enlargement. But the administration of hat institution may not ‘have been such as to com- aend itself to prospective contributors at that time snd after a few months of feverish and futile activ- ity the movement perished of inanition. When it comes to pass that the almost crushing egacy of debt left by the Wilson administration to he nation shall have been lightened, the project con- cerned by Washington may well be carried out by the arty that has been so faithful to his memory. A reat university at the capital of the nation, limited oerhaps to graduate work, would be an admirable and practical monument to him who was “first in war, est in peace, and first inthe hearts of his country- -’ Such an institution could capitalize the wealth mater al to be found in the archives of the govern- nt, the library of congress, the various scientific reaus, and the legislative halls. Of “storied urn nd animated bust,” of plinth and architrave and snowy shaft to commemorate the great liberator, there 3 no lack. He did not ask for these. But he did ask for “an institution to disseminate learning, culture, nd a proper understanding of right principles in gov- ernment,” to quote the words of President Harding. Attendance at this university might be assured to those designated by the faculties of the five hundred odd colleges and universities in the United States, whereby the enrollment of this graduate institution would be composed of the intellectual cream of the land; while from eyery country in the world would come students who would wish to train themselves in the science of republican government and to explore the upper strata of those sciences and newer human- ities in which this country is taking such a leading part. Associations enjoyed at such an_ institution would work incaleulable good in cementing friendships of future governing officials and social leaders, in creating better understandings of racial psychologies, and in assuring the peace of the world. AMG ES THE COMMUNITY’S LOSS. When a good man dies, one who has had an active and important part in the community, the loss is not \lone to relatives and close friends, it is a public loss. Mr. James S, Geddes, superintendent of the Wyoming Sugar company, recently died at Worland and his passing was so much a matter affecting the people of | Seve several adjoining counties that Hon. C. F, Robertson has paid the deceased this tribute through the Wor- land Grit: “It seems imperative that someone give public ex- pression to the high esteem in which the late James S. Geddes was held in this community and the sincere sorrow his passing has brought to all. I approach the self-appointed task with much hesitancy, feeling my inability to do full justice to the subject at hand. “Something over three years ago, a modest, unas- suming and retiring individual took over the local management of the Wyoming Sugar company and quietly stole into our hearts through the business, so- cial and spiritual life of the community, of which he soon became a live factor. “It was not long before it dawned upon many of us that we had a real man in our midst, a born leader and a Christian gentleman in all that the term im- plies. “With a seeming perfect physique, large heart, ac- tive brain and broad vision, he was at all times an in- spiration to every task at hand. In handling the many trying and difficult problems, ever pressing for solu- ion, it seemed as though a great load was lifted when- ever he appeared upon the scene. “He shirked no responsibility thrust upon him, how-: ever ardent the task, he met it unflinchingly and gave| at all times the full measure of the best with which nature had so richly endowed him. His cool, calculat- ing, unerring judgment, even temper and keen fore- sight were invaluable and this influence will be sad- ly missed in the community. “It is a generally accepted fact that the develop- ment of a new country saps the manhood and woman- hood of the first generation or two and one cannot but feel that all which was mortal of him who has passed from us, was sacrficed upon the altar of human prog- ress, in the evolution and transformation of this par- ticular section of the Big Horn valley. “Such a man as he does not die, his spirit has but passed out into the realm of the infinite, there to work out a larger destiny in the Divine scheme for man. “The great heart of the whole Worland community goes out in the deepest sympathy to his loved ones, left to mourn his untimely demise. Cut down in the full.vigor of his manhood seems inexplainable to the mortal mind; but faith in the Divine Plan bids us look up with serene confidence that the powers he had de- veloped within him in harmony with the Divine will, during his short stay upon earth, gained for him as-| sured immortality. res | THE LAST STRAW. “The constant irritation of merchants,” says the Boot and Shoe Recorder, “by proposals made in Wash- ington for the regulation of distribution of goods to the public is having its effect. Merchanis are. bitter in their denunciation of all regulation proposed by congress and either vehemently protest each new scheme or ignore it. The plan of licensing retail mer- chants as proposed by the agricultural bloc is about! the last straw,” . OEE be Casper Daily Cribune How Not to Do Business FROM THE SHOF RETAILER. Recently two good business men were discussing conditions. One was a shoe manufacturer Who had bought house and needed af entire equip- ment of windows. As it was a sizable contract, he made inquiries and went to a large concern equipped to make windows for which he expected to pay a good price. In discussing the mat- ter he said: “I went to the office, and there were two menubers of the firm, apparently, reading the papers in the office at ten o'clock fn. the morning. The book- keeper and cashier at the window paid no attention to me, and I finally asked one of them if I could get a quotation on some windows. He told me to see the foreman. I asked where I could locate him, and waa “Somewhere out started for the first man I met where I could find the foreman. His answer was, "He is around somewhere.’ I was beginning to get hot by now but interested also. ‘When I found the foreman he inform- ed me that ‘Otto’ was the man I want- ed to seo. I started after ‘Otto’ and went three buildings before locating him. ‘Otto’ had two visitors telling him a few stories, and two other little jobs before he could give me attention. Then he took me back to the office, said he could make the windows all right, gave me a flat price on the sizes but said I would have to paint ‘them myself. He couldn't pack) for shipment. so T would have to send # truck for them. He couldn't tell when they would be reafy, and he would FORMER CASPER WOMAN ics AT GREYBULL AS END TO LONG ILLNESS ‘Word has been received here of the Jeath of Mra.
