The soldiers’ bonus bill will be enacted promptly, but there is no disposition at,the capitol to railroad it through without giving the people a chance to inspect its provisions and render their verdict. Hearings will be held st once by the ways and means committee of the house, and then the measure will be drafted and reported to that body. Copies will be available for all who apply for them, and every voter who cares to inform himself of the bonus and the form of taxes that vill be levied for its payment can do so. Several weeks will probably elapse between the report of the bill to the house and its approval by the president, giving ample time for the expression of all shades of cpinion regarding it. Bie es ee CERTAINLY TARIFF REVISION IS WANTED. You need not hope for fairness in politics where Democrats are concerned. This is plainly indicated by the minority report of Representative Kitchin when the general tariff bill was reported to the house, when he declared: “It is false to say that the majority were commissioned by the people at the last election to re- vise the tariff.” He also declared that the majority in the Republican national convention may have had in their minds the purpose to revise the tariff yet “they never avowed it to the people. and in the sub- sequent campaign their candidate had little or noth- ing to say about the tariff.” It is true that the tariff was not the dominant is- sue in the campaign. President Wilson and the Demo- cratic nominee, Mr. Cox, had forced the league of na- tions as the principal subject of discussion and the) But) Republicans accepted the challenge thus made. the Republicans did avow their intention to revise the tariff upward. The Republican platform contains this elause: “The uncertain and unsettle? condition of interna- tional balances, the abnormal economic trade situa- tion of the world, and the impossibility of forecasting accurately even the near future. precludo the formu- lation of a definite program to meet conditions a year hence. But the Republican party reaffirms its belief in the protective principle and pledges itself to a re- vision of the tariff as soon as conditions shall make it necessary for the preservation of the home market for American labor, agriculture and industry.” That was written in June, 1920. The Republicans admitted in convention their inability to formulate! then a definite program for tariff legislation in 1921. Nor was there any general revision of the tariff in 1921. Following faithfully its promise to revise the tariff 2s conditions demonstrated the need, the Repub- licans passed an emergency agricultural tariff during 1921. General revision was left until 1922, much more than a year after the adoption of the section of the Republican platform quoted above. In answer to the Republican platform, which pledged return to the protective principle, the Democrats de- clared: “We reaffirm the traditional policy of the Democratic party in favor of a tariff’ for revenue enly.” Thus there was presented a direct issue. It is not true that the Republican candidate had lit- tle or nothing to say about the tariff. In a speech on May 14, more than a month before the nomina-} tion Mr. Harding declared: “Before the year is past there will be a call for the good old American protec-| tion like that of 1896.” In his speech of acceptance Mr. Harding said believe in the protective tariff pol " we will be calling for it to save| A gaia In an interview in August, in- te blieation and distribution in the south | where protection sentiment has heretofere been least in evidencs, Mr. Harding pointed out the need of a| protective duty on sugar, on peanuts, and other south- erm products, and denounced the mistake of applying’ free trade Policies which had we! destroyei |great industries. In his Labor Day speech, as s'so in his address to the farmers at Minneapolis, and in other addresses, Mr. Harding reiterated his advocacy of a| protective tariff. | Aside from the league of nations and the extrava-| gance of the Democratic administration, there was no er) issue more prominent in the campaign than the} aru. i i ——__——_.—______ WHY IMPORTERS ARE OPPOSED. | At @ recent convention held in Washington under, the auspices of the National Manufacturers’ associa-| tion, a number of articles manufactured in Germany and Austria were exhibited; showing the disparity in| production costs in the country of their origin and in |the United States. Appended to each of the exhibits| was a photostat copy of a sales slip issued by the de-| partment store gelling the particular article showing the price at which it was sold to the American con- sumer. A pair of scissors purchasable in the German mar-| ket for 14 cents s pair was sold over the counter of | this department store at $3. A German knife with| ornamental handle, « pair of scissors folding in, and, a nail file, purchasable in the German market at 12 cents, was sold to the American purchaser over the countsr at $8.50, Two thermos bottles were placed side by side. The German bottle was billed through| the United States customs house at New York on a| German invoice at 17 marks, which at the then rate of exchange was equal to 8% cents American money.) The duty on this type of bottle, its chief value being its metal case, was 20 per cent, (foreign valuation) | or 1.7 cents. Adding freight and other expenses, the Inid down cost for the bottle in America was 12.2) cents. These bottles are sold by a subsidiary com- pany of the importers, who operate a chain of stores | in New York City, at 98 cents eaca. The American) consumer paid a profit on these German bottles of} about 800 per cent. A comparative American bottle) manufactured by the American Thermos Bottl¢ com-| pany, with factories in Connecticut, New York and! West Virginia, is put out at an average production| cost of $1.01 and retails for $1.50. Under American) valuation, with a duty rate of 60 per cent the landed cost of the German bottle would have still been below the American ‘production cost. A copy of a Budapest circular was shown in which the Hungarian house offered to print 10,009 circulars |for the equivalent of $36 American money. The best price that could be made for similar work by a New York printing house was $298.50. “Wages here are lower than eisewhere, 15 times than in London, 30 times less than in New York,” declared the Buda- pest concern. A glance at the import statistics of the United States department of commerce for the calendar year 1921 indicates that these foreign prices are not mis- stated. For example, 632,164 dozen pockeiknives im-} ported last year were valued at $792,772-—$1.25 a/ dozen, or about 10% cents each; 275,193 dozen ra- sors and parts of, valued at $515,418—$1.88 a dozen,| or less than 16 cents each; 591,785 dozen pairs of scissors and shears, valued at $978,965—$1.66 a doz-| en, or less than 14 cents a pair. Thermos bottles are not separately stated; but reference may be made to the importation of 642,244 mantles for gas burners, velued at $28,843, or 4% cents each; 691,763 gross! of pencils and pencil leads valued at $413,647, or less than 60 cents a gross; 14,146,167 unblocked hats val-| ued at $1,968,100 or less than 14 cents each, and so! cn down the line wherever quantities and values are! indicated in the official statistics. | The argument of the American manufacturers,| formers, workingmen, and all who so strongly advo-, cate the American valuation plan is that to assess du- ties on such foreign values as these amounts to prac- tically free trade, and no consumer is getting the bene- fit of these low prices paid by the importers, who ex- act profits of from 200 to 1,000 per cent when they sell over their counters, oe COMPREHENSIVE AND THOROUGH REVIEW. Hon. Frank W. Mondell received a copy of our spe- cial edition in Washington and was much pleased with it and while the matter was fresh in his mind sat down and wrote us. the following: “TI have just finished reading the Industrial Edition of the Daily Tribune and Weekly Review. It is un-| doubtedly the most comprehensive and thorough re- view of the state’s progress ever issued in a single edi- tion, and the attractive manner in which the various! resources of the state are grouped greatly adds to its interest and value. Its widespread circulation must result in most orable and substantial additions to the state, and I am sure our people will see to it that, the entire edition is circulated. ‘The Tribune-Review force is entitled to much credit for the able manner in which it has handled this super-issue, and I congratulate you and your co-| workers in the achievement.” SURES 2 a THE BIG EDITION. While busily engaged in getting out its own first i+ | sue, the new Greybull Tribune found time to write this complimentary notice of our industrial edition: “The Casper Tribune and Wyoming Weekly Review on January 23 issued its big state industrial edition,| which had been heralded as the greatest ever and which came up to all expectations, or a little bit more. The edition consisted of 52 pages and covered Wyo- ming like the proverbial blanket, every town and sec- tion of the etate coming in for its share of boosting. Not only was the edition artistic in make-up, but it | also constitutes a splendid compendium of the marvel- ous resources of this great state and the history of their development. ad “Greybull came in for her share of glory in an ex- tensive and well written article telling of the great re- sources possessed and the progress enjoyed by our | thriving community. ~The Casper Tribune did itself proud in the publication of its industrial edition.” BEERS ER THEY ARE CHEATS. Evangeline Booth, national commander of the ‘Sal- vation Army, says: “Women who powder thelr noses, touch up thelr hair with a bit of golden glint or add the bloom of youth to their cheeks are positively dishonest. Wom- en uge ‘makeup’ to deceive. A woman has no right to fool the world. The woman with blazing cheeks, in- digo eyes and carroty hair is a cheat. + “Many divorces are caused by the fact that women have .attempted to deceive their husbands regarding} their appearance. Man wants women as nature in-| tended they should be. | | _ “The enormous sale of cosmetics in the United’ | States is a disgrace to the country. If our young wom- of today would only take the money they use for paint and powder and buy milk for the poor, starving babies of the world, they wouldn’t need any artifice | to make themselves attractive. In their cheeks would be the hue of joy that comes from the heart and in their eyes the light that comes only from giving serv-| icc to the world. | “Moderation and utility should be.the guide when it comes to clothes. Following the style of the Salva- tion Army, skirts should be five or six inches above the ground. “Too many women today destroy their true woman- liness by immodest dressing, and they have only them selves to blame when their characters are questioned.” | ‘tion of the Che Caspet Daily Cribune A SKIRT-TIGHT FENCE Nomenclature of Wyoming BY ALFRED J. MOKLER. In the brief historical sketch of the ‘origin of names of rivers, mountuins, counties and towns of Wyoming, as traced by the United States geological survey, with the assistance of history students,” published in your paper evening last week, it is to be regretted that some of the “history students” did not give their subjects more thought and study, before they attempted to enlighten the pubiic. ‘There are now so many comparatively new residents of Wyoming may accept the verson of these “history students” as belng correct. I believe they as well as the younger genera- tion especially the students in our public schools should be informed more fully and reliabiy as to the ori- in of some of these names. I will not attempt to enumerate all the errors made by theso “students.” for there are indeed many, but only those that are grossly misleading. In regard to the origin of the name of the Seminoe not Seminole) mountains, which are in central Wyoming, your “student” says. a The Seminole mountains have the name of an Indian tribe, the word probably meaning . “separa. tist” or renegade.” By some of the modern map makers the name of these mountains has also been corrupted into “Seminole,” but the correct pronuunciation ts Sem- inoe or Cimineau. The name was ap- plied to perpetuate the name of Clim. ineau Lajeunesse, one of the members of John C. Fremont’s party in his ex- pedition to the Rocky mountains ‘n 1842-3-5. Cimineau was one of the men who ascended Fremont’s Peak on Au gust 15, 1942. Cimineau did not re tin with Fremont but took up his abode in the Sweetwater valley, near the Semince mountains, and in 1858 established a trading post on the overland: trail near Devil's Gate. Ga briel Lajeunesse, an uncle of Cimineau tradition says, was the hero of Long fellow's “Evangeline.” There 1s no “I” used in the spelling of these moun tains. The Teton range bears tho name of a division of the Sioux tribe, whose name was variously written Teton, Titon or Titowan, and means “praire dwellers.” The Teton inountains derived thelr name by Freneh trappers in 1811, from the fancied resemblance of these peaks, when seen from a fis- tance, to the nipple of the human breast. The name, now more than a century old, has passed into all the Itterature describing that country par ticularly that of tts fur trade era, the most romantito and fascinating in western history. Platte river derived {ts name from the French, plate, meaning “dull,” “shallow” a term sigularly applicable to this stream. Tracing back to the earllest occupa- lleys of this stream by French settlers, which occurred in dians called this river the which in their language signified fiat. Interpreted into French means Platte, carrying out the idea of @ broad and flat river. Thus, it will be seen, that the original name given by the Indians was the braska,. m French, 1a Platte, in English the broad flat river. Johnson was named for E. P. Johnson, a member of the legisla- ture at the time of the organiza- tion of the county.
