Landlords and agents of renting property will have to revise the rental prices of their property or else be subject to public criticism for failure to fall into line} with the generel trend of revision. Deflation has reached the landlord and he must take his like all the rest have either done or are doing. The merchant has , earth than there were fifty yeers ago, but long since punctured war prices and let the wind out and is now on a lower price level with each succeed- ing shipment of goods from his wholesaler. The wholesaler came down just as soon as the producer of raw material, through cuts in wages, placed lower material on the market. Labor is accepting deflation all along the line in whatever activity engaged. Some labor is not only deflated but has collapsed. War wages and war prices are rapidly receding into the realm of things to be for- gotten. The owner of property built at a time of costly ma- terial and high priced labor can no longer figure his rents on a percentage basis of costs. He must come down to something like the actual value of property based on the present value of the dollar in the hands of its earner. The old fifty-cent dollar is no more. The hundred cents dollar is coming home. Profiteering is an ugly and unpopular word. A word everybody wants to get away from. There is but one method of evading its application and that is to take the loss deflation exacts, get on the ruling level and go ahead with the rest of the folks. Home owners and those who live in their own prop- erty may do es they please. Those who rent must do the best they can. That best does not imply pay- , ing landlords rents out of gear with the earning pow- er of the renter. A renter cannot and will not pay all his wages or an undue proportion of them for the rent of the house in which he lives. He has other ob- * ligations to meet and he is entitled to lay by some- thing for the rainy day, which is always sure to come. The landlord is no better than anyone else and his present business is to begin the process of readjust- ing his figures to conform to the times. Otherwise it will be a repetition of the ancient story of the goose « and the golden egg. ———o—____ WE LIVE TO LEARN. Authorities on one thing or another are always tell- ing us what to do or what not to do to make us happy or better or something. In most cases they desire us not to do the things we most want to do. For in- stance an authority on the subject says: “One of the dangers of life is that of talking too much. We don’t have much trouble about what we don’t say. Extreme talkativeness comes often from nervousness, and nervousness comes often from the excessive use of tea and coffee. The excessive use of tea and coffee, especially at night, creates nervous slpeelessness as well as nervous talkativeness. I beg! of you to drink one cup of tea or coffee, only, in the morning and at noon, and none at night, and fill up the rest of the way on good fresh water, and you will find your sleeplessness and a lot of other troubles will disappear.” So again we must revise old beliefs as well as quit things. Talkativeness has heretofore been ascribed to the drinking of liquor and no ono ever dreamed of blaming tea or coffee, while sleeplessness has been charged up to an uneasy conscience. . Apparently we live to lee-n and f we could only live long enough we might becoric really wise. ee eee THE SPECIAL EDITION. The Sheridan Post, the important daily of northern Wyoming, thus speaks of The Tribune's special Wyo- ming number: “The special edition of the Casper Tribune and Wyoming Weekly Review, which has been in course of publication for some time, came off the press on Jan- uary 22, contains 52 pages, and is a masterpiece of work in its line. It contains many pages of well for-| mulated ads, together with illustrations of scenes and buildings in Casper and other parts of the state. “Among the feature articles ure those which deal with Casper’s growth, the development and facts con- cerning the oil industry, and reference to various com- munities of the state, while the livestock, ranching and farming, together with many other industries are) given special reference. Each section has a specially designed front page. Congratulations to the Messrs. Hanway for their enterprise.” Seas NO REASON FOR ALARM. “Having discovered that the youthful female of the species,” observes the New York Tribune, “calmly con- tinues to work out her own destiny unmoved by criti- cism, reformers now are appealing to her parents to save her. ! “It is, they say, the home, and not the girl, that 1s! responsible for what they regard as the shocking trend of the times. Young women wear short skirts and go to movies and powder their noses, and some- times even smoke cigarettes, because their fathers and mothers lack the moral courage to scold them about these things. Consequently the noble woman nobly planned is becoming extinct upon the face of the earth. The only difficulty with this reasoning is that it imn’t at all There may be tunities for girls to become useless curverers of it they are not taken advantage of. “The is “Und “Gradually fathers and mothers are discovering that their children will kick up their heels like other) children do whether they are against the parental laws‘ or not. Relaxing the laws a trifle permits them to do so under observation instead of in secret. Healthy girls coming from good homes want to do nothing in- trinsically wrong. Give them their heads and they run straight. Irritate them by a multitude of petty rules and by constant and distrustful espionage and they become rebellious. After that you never can| tell about them. “Allowed to read, to think and to act pretty much as she likes, the young American girl takes no harm. Sie is good because her instincts are good. She is fit- ting herself for her larger place in government and in business, and is making a very fine job of it.” | ea FRE ET GREYBULL’S NEW NEWSPAPER. The Greybull Tribune is the newest thing in Wyo- ming journalism. Independent in politics and devoted to the upbuiding of the city of Greybull and state of! Wyoming. The Tribune will not attempt to regulate! the morals of its constituency but will point the way in kindly fashion. W. J. Stull and W. C. Haynes are the editors and publishers. The latter is known to Wyoming newspaperdom as former publisher of the Shoshoni Enterprise. The new publication starts out with a good appearance and good advertising pa- tronage. ee DEFLATING THE THEATER. One of the signs of the times is read in theater at- tendance and the Worcester Telegram speaks of it thus: “We, are passing through a readjustment period in the theater. The war prices have gone. The public is selecting once more, after the period when any enjoyable or interesting development is there than the reported return of the ‘gallery god’ to the theater. He was reported to have gone to the movies; perhaps he moved down stairs through the war, but now he is found back in his seats in the upper gallery—at the good plays or the melodramas. The melodramas, too, are coming back, billed frankly as melodrama, and are doing good business. Sut the day when any company or any star could get by with anything and charge war prices has gone. “The public reserves its right to examine and judge what it pays to buy in the show If it doesn’t like the goods offered, it stays away. The managers wring their hands, they weep glycerine tears because what they plensartly nominate ‘the suckers’ don’t form queues in front of their box offices, but the public, a public which reserves its right to discriminate, and Pick and choose, is uninfluenced by the lamentations. “Given good shows, with casts as advertised, at rea- sonable prices, and it will go to'them. The truth is the theater is in the transition stage from inflation back to sound and normal conditions. Until it returns to the latter, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth by the managers.” Ee BE SS NOT SURPASSED. Henry M., Cady of the Cady Advertising company of Billings, Mont., a man of large experience and re- garded, wherever newspapers are published as an au- thority on all details that go to make up a meritorious publication, has written the Tribune to say: Permit me to congratulate you and your associates on the splendid industrial edition of the Casper Trib- une, @ copy of which has just reached my desk. We have nothing but praise for the lay out and set up of the industrial advertisements and for the clean dispo- sition of the display space throughout the pages of the edition, which is not surpassed in any that has come to our desk in the last year. RST ER A, REMOVING MYSTERY FROM BANKING. “A high school student,” says Nation’s Business,” presented a check not long since for payment to a bank teller, and was told “Please endorse it.” After hesitating and showing, considerable embarrassment, he inquired, ‘Just what ‘s it that you wish me to do?’ “It seems incomprehensible that a young man of 18 should be co unfamiliar with simple business proced- ure and ordinary banking routine. “Few people have an elementary knowledge of banks and their functions; not one in a hundred has the slightest conception of the meaning of the state- ments which the law requires the banks to publish for their benefit; few understand the difference between national, state, the savings banks and trust compa- nies, and the functions of each; what a deposit is and how it should be safeguarded; what reserves are and how and why maintained; what are the essentials of a@ good investment. oe MAKING BULLS IN BOSTON. Samuel Untermeyer, the famous New York lawyer and prosecutor of building trades pirates, is to be cred- ited with all that his unusual talents have gained; but as.a user of figures of speech he is what critics of ele- gant English would call “punk.” Delivering a speech at Boston recently, of all places on earth for such @ ‘slip, the distinguished barrister pulled this metaphor—“the festering barnacles on our industrial life that are fairly choking it to death.” ‘This applied to open price associations and other or- ganizations for regulating prices of building materials. The highbrows of Boston were quick to catch the figure of speech and by the next afternoon the chil- dren even were quietly smiling about it. ee ee eee BEST YET. Our friends over the state continue to praise our re- cent Industrial Edition. This is what the Thermopolis Independent says of it: “The Industrial Review gotten out by the Casper Daily Tribune is indeed a credit to that paper and the town of Casper. Fifty-two pages devoted to the ex- ploiting of the state of Wyoming and the town of Cas- per. The space devoted to the Big Horn hot springs is greatly appreciated by the people of Thermopolis and will no doubt be read by a hundred thousand peo- ple throughout the United States. What Wyoming needs is publicity and Wyoming newspapers can give it.” fe Sra Congress has set aside $9,250,000 for prohibition enforcement. This sum is not staggering to the plu- tocratic bootlegging fraternity that now makes deliv- ery of the goods in high priced high powered auto- mobiles. Fe —— rene Treland is also confronted with thé problem of what to do with ex-presidents, Che Casper Daily Cribune OTHERWISE THEY MAY NOT GO to A, eames Although it is estimated that at the present rate of production the oil fieids of the United States would be exhaust- ed in about 20 years, these figures do not indicate that the country’s petrol- eum resources will come to an end/ within that period. The country’s wells are likely to shaw long periods of de- clining productivity before their final) depletion, and the nation’s huge do- posits of ofl shale offer enormo\.; sup-|lion barrels. plies as soon as it becomes economical to use them. If an annual rate of production of 450,000,000 barrels, a figure neariy reached in 1920 and probably exceeded in 1921, were to be maintained in the United States until the wells were ex- hausted the known supply would run out in about 20 years. These oil fields, however, are likely to show long pe- riods of declining productivity before they are completely exhausted. It is impossible to estimate when the Unit- ed States will have used up its petrol- eum resources, but a period of con- stantly decreasing production with oc casional increases as new wells are opened up and new methods of recov- ery are instituted may be expected to begin within the next few yenrs. To meet’ the emergency of a declin- ing output of petroleum the United States has in reserve huge deposits of oil shale from which great quantities | ox petroleum products may be obtained when it becomes economical to pro- duce them. Enormous amounts of oll shale rich in oll are found in -north- western Colorado, northeastern Utah. | southwestern Wyoming and in north-| ern Nevada. Deposits of more Umited extent and generally less rich are lo- cated in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ken- tucky, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, West Virginia and elsewhere. Though the ofl shale industry is of long stand- ing in other parts of the world, not- ably Scotland, France and Australia, it has not yet passed the ‘experimental stage in the United States. ‘The United States has long been pre-| eminent in the petroleum industry, but rapidly than the rest of the world. Starting with a supply estimated at 14 billion barrels it hag used up some five billion, leaving only about nije billion! barrels, or 64 per cent of its’ original resources, still avaflable. On the other hand the world outside the. United States is thought to have 56 billion barrels, or over 90 per cent of 1:8 orig-| inal supply of approximately 60 bil- As the Unital States regularly produces three-fifths or more of the world’s annual output, each year finds this country in a relatively Worse position. While the using up of natural re sources {s deplorable, still the materi- al gains sesulting from their exploita- tion should not be overlooked, for in @ large measure the gradual exhaus- tion of American petroleum has been offset by the advances of American in- dustries thus made possible. It is significant of the peculiar con- ditions prevailing in the production of petroleum that despite prefailing bus- iness depression accompanied by a fall in petroleum prices the output in the first eleven months of 1921 showed an increase of 6 per cent over a like period in 1020. The gain was shared by all but the Illinois field, whose production has regularly been falling off in recent years. Depression in the petroleum indus- try does, however, limit to some extent | the drilling of wells in known fields, and to an even greater dogrea the exploration of new territory. Since production is sustained only by drilling an increasing number of wells in any given field, and since new territory! must be opened up to compensate for FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1922.
