The school population has increased so rapidly that no board could plan intelli-| gently for any length of future time. Education of the young is the one demand that no civilized and intelligent community can afford to haggle about. It is about all we give our children and therefore we should take pride in it and give them the best we can procure. There is no discount on the guality of instruction we are furnishing, and no discount on the character of buildings so far provided.’ The only drawback from which we now suffer is in the ade- quacy of housing. This has occupied the efforts of the board and the builders for the past five or six years and still requirements have not been met. — Now it:is proposed to erect a high school building that-will'be sufficient:and use the present high school pbuilding for grade schools-which are also outgrowing present quarters. ‘Prifhere is no echool- district in the United States in better position to undertake a half million dolar school building than the Natrona high school district. ‘With taxable property valued at over fifty-seven mil lion dollars and a bonded indebtedness of a trifling thirty-four thousand. The proposed structure is to be modern in all par- ticulaes and provided with departments heretofore impossible. The district-will vote on the project next Saturday and the patrons will give evidence of their interest| by attending the election and registering their vote] favorably. San A Business Bealing Back USINESS IMPROVEMENT is definitely under way. Of this there is no doubt. It has not reached and may. not reach all sections of the country at one and the same time; but from surveys and reports from public and private sources the concensus of the wisest business opinion does not hesitate to proclaim gradual improvement everywhere. The problem is in gauging the rate of expansion and its ultimate limit for a reasonable period in the} future. It is never safe for production to be reck- lessly increased. It should expand in relation. to a carefully tested market | In connection with the course of events during the next few months, two factors are worthy of consid- eration; namely, the ¢ to which output is now below normal and the outlook for exports. The difficulties of determining what is a normal output are , obvious. pulation has increased by nearly one-fifth since 1910, and the war irregularit affected the expansion of various industries, so that any standard of measure which may be set up| is necessarily arbitrary. At the same time, it is the consensus of business judgment that activities during the latter part of 1919 and the opening months of 1920 were above normal, and that operations during the latter part of 1920 and throughout 1921 were below normal, and that a safe rate of production for the United States lies at some point between these extremes. The Harvard Economic Service has en- deavored to establish a normal rate for manufactures and to compare production with it from 1919 to date. The results of this work indicate that at no time dur- ing the depression, the lowest point being July, 1921, was the volume of manufactures in the United States lower than 70 per cent of normal. During that month, according to the same source, a sharp upturn took place, and gains since that time have been fairly steady, the manufacturing output of the country at present being perhaps nearly 95 per cent of normal, Other studies carried rhown similar results, but indicate a somewhat lower current rate of operations. There has unquestionably been much unemploy- ment in the United States, but despite this fact, con- sumption has on the whole been well maintained. What is more convincing evidence, the amount of actual suffering caused by men being out of work has been relatively unimportant’ compared with pre- ceeding depressions of apparently much less severity, and in most districts savings bank. deposits either ity Editor | | factured goods | kets will take care of reasonable surpluses. -|has been carried to the point where the people have on along different lines have} mates or by popular opinion.

The consuming countries are gradually in- creasing their own agricultural production but they |are also improving their purchasing power, so that exports of American food products will probably con-| | tinue in satisfactory volume.

Members of congress, with party authority and| ‘party responsibility weakened by the abolition of the| convention system under which an expression of party will was possible, are more and more appealing to public opinion as it exists within their own immediate | constituencies, regardless of the effect of the policies thus espoused upon the party or the public good. atence the rapid decline of responsible government at Washington, with chaos in politics and public affairs resulting. For many years so-called independents, reformers break down political parties based upen national con- siderations, though these are the only practical instru- mentalities of responsible government in a republic like ours, To this end the anti-party agitators have tried to take public offices from without the control of political parties, and create instead a huge office holding class, with a political program all its own and coustituting a new bloc in politics based upon self interest. The substitute for the political party is the sec- tional, occupational or class bloc. animated only by the ambition to put it over on the rest of the country. As a substitute for government by the people through political parties, we have government of the people by organized minorities. : No program better calculated to weaken and finally cestroy responsible government could be devised. It begun to recognize its dangers through the abuses attendant upon the order that is being substituted, and there is a strong reaction in favor of the restor- ation of the political party as a paramotnt influence in the public affairs of the nation. The National Republican does not advocate the repeal of the primary laws. These are expensive and under the present method of operation unsatisfactory, but they can be utilized without substituting personal for national party government if accompanied by leg- islation making party action possible preliminary to! these primaries. y Political parties, through the election of delegates, under rules safeguarding the right of every voter of their faith to participate in them, should be privileged by the representative or convention method to name their official tickets to be placed upon the primary ballot and either accepted or rejected in favor of other candidates by the voters. Such a system would make it impossible to perpe- trate in conventions the abuses which were responsi- ble for the abandonment of the convention method and the substitution of a system whereby a political party may actually be controlled against itself, and under which candidates may be named who openly repudiate the policies for which the party, nationally, stands. This government is fundamentally a representative republic and not a direct democracy. If it had adopted the “pure” democracy scheme, it would have gone to ruin long ago. The direct nominating sys- tem, with the representative method of government in political parties abandoned, is wrecking the politi- cal »parties. President Harrison once said that the difference between our republic and the Latin Amer- ican nations was that here we’ followed a principle and there they followed a cockade. But under the present system we are becoming cockade chasers, and| our government is becoming one of individuals, groups | and factions, rather than of ,by and for the whole} people. The system of direct nominations, without the in- tervention of any form of party expression is result- ing in the destruction of political parties, the rapid increase of demagogism in public life, the growing power of venal or demagogic papers, and a lowering of the level of our public life which is startling when comparisons are made with the conditions of a quar- | ter of a century ago. The time has come when thoughtful and patriotic citizens should assert themselves in favor of the res- toration of the representative system in national po-| litical parties. ‘Thus only may we restore responsible | government through great national organizations of public opinion, in place of exploitation of our public affairs and of the people by demagogical and un- ;crupulous adventurers whose loyalty does not extend beyond a devotion to the safety of their own political skins and an ambition to grab and to hold all the personal powers possible for their own selfish ends. Forward -to the methods of representative repub- licanism through which this nation has attained great- ness, and through which national Republicanism has written some of the most glorious pages in the annals of this or any other government in history Away with the narrow, selfish petty partisanship of per- sons, groups, localities and factions, and up with the standard of national welfare around which “the wise and the good will repair.” to the end that there may be progress and diffused prosperity in all-the republic, and that “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Retain Control (sees D, HILLES, well known throughout the / country as secretary to Former President Taft, | once assistant secretary of the treasury, Republican national committeeman from New York and a party leader, has spoken upon the question of the import- ance of Republican control of the next congress. His remarks are to the point and Republicans everywhere should awaken to any dangers that may exist in dis- tricts throughout the country. Mr. Hilles puts it thus: “I urged you in the summer of 1920 to put your faith in Warren G. Harding and give to him, in the way of support, the best there was in you. I had known him more or less intimately for 24 years. I have been maintained or have increased.
