The peddlers of poison and dope are the scoundrels that must be hunted down and put out of business. Other and milder offenders against laws are not s0 damaging in their operations. They can wait their turn at the mill if necessary These people who go about the business of co:7 ing murder and regard it as a trade or means of livelihood ‘must be made to understand the horrible things they are doing to the human family. Nobody will care much if a small quantity of regu- ler liquor or a high quality of moon find their way to consumers who feel that they must have something of the sort. But now is the most dangerous period of the whole prohibition experiment. Private supplies held over have practically vanished. Importations from Canada, Cuba, Mexico and elsewhere are grow-j ing more difficult and prohibitive in price. In their} desperation, people are turning more and more to the! industrial @dition of the Casper Daily Tribune, and harder to outlawed stuff of local production, which is mostly unscientifically, carelessly and ignorantly made. In- gredients and chemical combinations in the hands of ignorant amateurs rarely fail to produce dire results among those who consume the finished product.

There will be, of course, spots here and there where there is lacking any incentive to build through unfavorable lo-| cal conditions. Such spots are lost sight of in a sur-| vey of general conditions and prospects. With grad-! ually declining yields on all classes of investments it mtay be expected that funds heretofore unavailable to the mortgage market will be turned into construction projects. Labor has not been liquidated and building costs} therefore are still far Above pre-war levels, and are! out of line with prices generally. This condition op- erates especially against building and construction for production of income, but not so heavily against in- dividual enterprises for personal occupancy, or publig buildings and public works. Consequently the field of residence building and! public construction offers the greatest promise. The housing shortage has not yet been met. The entire| ¢ountry needs highway construction, and there is} widespread necessity for essential public buildings. It is recognized as good public policy to carry on con- struction of these classes at times when industrial ac- tivity is at a relatively low level. Lower money is making this construction possible. This is unmistak- ably shown by the volume of state, county and munici- pal bond issues in the United States in 1921. The total for the entire country is unavailable, but offer- ings are known to have exceeded $1,000,000,000. ee eres CAN'T BE REAL. The Guernsey Gazette calls attention to the appar- ent modification af his Democratic faith by Senator John B. Kendrick, in addressing the people of Repub- liean strongholds in his recent state tour and is of the opinion that the senator is more or less masquerading. ‘The Gazette says: “John Kendrick has his mule handi- capped with an elephant’s skin over it. John has cast good old Democratic doctrines to the four winds and, advocates a tariff on wool. He is running on the Bemocratic ticket, but has adopted Republican prin- ciples. Wonder if he could talk any of those south- ern Democratic members into supporting such a thing. A blind man could see that a Republican could accom-| plish such a matter much easier. Apparently it's just| # matter of being ‘hard put.’ | eet: i} NOT SPECIFICALLY HARMFUL. The Hillsdale Review is in doubt as to whether John| Kendrick can do the most harm at home speech-mak-| ing or in Washington legislating. Our guess is neither| place. Wyoming folks know political bunk when they| hear it and what good or harm can a Democratic sena-| tor do in an overwhelming Republican senate at Wash- ington? Has the Review ever heard of a bound boy| nt a husking bee? S EERERanEEIEEEEEe | EFFECTS OF DEMOCRATIC DEFLATION. Democrats who try to square their party with the farmers by denying responsibility for the abrupt drop/ in prices of farm crops should remember that in Au- gust, 1919, President Wilson promised the four Broth-}| erhood leaders that all the power of the government} would be exerted to bring down the high cost of li This wes in an effort to prevent the railrond Jn the fulfillment of that promise a policy was pursued which made the farmer the first and severest.

The Casper Tribune and Wyoming Weekly Review hes just issued an edition covering Wyoming’s re-| sources and opportunities. It is more than a Rewspa- | per. It is a compendium of the state and its wonder- ful possibilities. It covers every phase of our indus-| trial life. There are articles from the brainiest and| best posted of the men and women of Wyoming touch-| ing almost every industry. The schools and the busi-| | ness of the state also come in for a generous share of space. It takes 52 there is Tribune. pages of matter to tell the story and interest from cover to cover.—Cheyenne| | eS EE a a Ae j ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT. Few people realize that the actual running expenses of the government have been cut approximately to the Pre-war figure through the drastic economies instit- tuted by the Republican administration, yet such is the fact. That does not mean, of course, that the gross aunual expenditures have been reduced to the level of 1916, but, with the elimination of the fixed charges| directly due to the war, the country is almost beck| again to the pre-war expense rate. Interest on the| public debt, compensation for former service men, and sinking fund appropriations make a total of about $2,000,000,000 of annual charges that must be met regardless of the ordinary running expenses of the government. Republican economy can have no effect upon them, so that sum must be subtracted from the total expenditures of any year to determine the com-| parative cost of supporting federal activities. | Chairman Madden of the house appropriations com-| mittee predicts that the approriations for the next fis- cal year will not exceed $3,500,000,000, That means that the actual operating exenses of the government departments and bureaus wil! not be greater than $1,- 500,000,000. ‘That is only $250,000,000 more than wns spent each year before the war. p ° A SPLENDID EDITION, In reviewing The Casper Tribune’s recent industrial edition, the Billings Gazette, Montana’s leading daily newspaper says: “The Billings Gazette is in receipt of a copy of the takes this occasion to pay tribute to the organizatipn | which perfected such a splendid output. Not only is the edition a remarkable tribute to the printing in- dustry, but it speaks volumes for “Montana’s neigh- | boring state, as weil as the thriving city in which it is try, devend for timber on the few re- [maining states which still cut more published. if ever, were a state's industries shown to better ad- vantage because of the liberal use of illustrations, ieee een FOR MR. HAYS’ CONSIDERATION, | It is to be hoped that Mr. Hays will include among the reforms to be made in the moving picture industry a decree that there must be an end to political propa- ganda through the instrumentality of the screen. Dur-| ing the campaign to prevail upon the senate to ratify| nant, the pro-league viewpoint was brazenly exploited through the movies. Barney Baruch financed the pro- duction of a film entitled, “Uncle Sam Freedom Ridge,” that was admittedly a bid for support for the league idea. The movies were also used to boost the Liberty bond drives, which was quite a tion for them under the circumstances, but the ap-| peals to the public to buy bonds were shot through and through with pro-Wilson, pro-McAdoo, and pro-| | Democratic stuff that disgusted all fair minded peo-|«ublc feet Is all they grow while our ple. Even now the movie industry is still influenced from the same source. While Mr. Wilson was deliv- ering his recent “speech” of 100 words to his ad- mirers who are endeavoring to collect funds for the Wilson Foundation, the movie men were busy, and pi tures of the event were flashed on the screens of the country together with a view of the counci! chamber cf our lumber, and can never supply of the league of nations showing the vacant chair re-|yaore than 20. ‘ served for the United States. It will be as much the! duty of Mr. Hays to keep th& films free from inspired stuff of that sort as to maintain them on a high moral plane. | See a ee CHINA IMPORTS FROM GERMANY. Two and a half times as much German china and porcelain reached the United States in January-No- vember, 1921, on the basis of declared values, as in the|:y than ever Levore, to the incalculable ogetd ers of the whole nation. first 11 months of 1920. The value of the: imports for the 1920 period was $722,000, and for the 1921 period, $1,804,000. The makers are now cutting their prices to such a point that they are actually prying out the Japanese com- petitors for the American market. Our total imports of this class of goods for the 11 months of 1921 was valued at $11,500,000, compared with $9,906,000 in 1913. “While the prelimmary official figures do not show the quantity of china and earthenware imported, it is not unlikely, in view of the price adjustments that are beginning to appear in the world’s invoices, that some part of the 1921 increase represents larger quantities as well,” declares the department. So it is not altogether the value that accounts for the increase, German competition is making itself felt in almost every market in the world, but perhaps more so in the American market than anywhere else. The Republican turiff bill should ease the situation, once it becomes a law. er NO KICK IN IT. It is anticipated that the Genoa conference will in- clude representatives from 45 nations. That is about the number of members in the league of nations. The very fact that they are getting together at Genoa tes- tifies to the moribund condition of the league. The league assembly provided a means for general consul- tation emong all of the members, but the rules of the covenant restricting what the assembly may do, and | setting over it a council of eight big powers, were | enough to take the spirit out of any gathering. Wheth- | er the Genoa meeting accomplishes anything or not, it will at least be a free interchange of views, unem- barrassed by any such threats and penalties as are provided in the league covenant. Despite that fact, we shall probably hear that the Genoa conference patterned closely after the league assembly, and that really Mr. Wilson should be given full credit for it. As a matter of fact, the proceedings at Genoa will de- ive their inspiration from what has taken place in the {free conference of the nations at Washington, which| President Harding originated and carried through to successful completion. Proper func-jynich remain, if they produced 60 German pottery|thing 4s to stop the fire.
