And _ strictly considered paving is not an expense to the property owner, it is an investment which yields high dividends. No person except the short-sighted ever com- plains of public improvements in the neighborhood of his home or other property that he may own. Im- provements are seldom placed in districts where the proyerty is unable to bear the costs. The first case is yet to be heard of where the costs of street paving even approached confiscation. The result of paving has always enhanced values and afforded ready sale for such improved property. There are objectors to the proposed paving in southwest Casper. They stand in their own light. They will likely remain unconvinced, but they should not be permitted to block so needed an impravement. It is for the good of the entire section to be lifted out of the mud. Residents of other sections had the same objections and the same arguments against paving before the improvement was made. Today you find them the most enthusiastic partisans of paved streets. Their property is worth more money and the annual assess- ments have not been felt. The southwest district should be created. 0 Cornering Free Traders !ENATOR WATSON, of Indiana, has been having the time of his life roping and hogtieing Democra- tic senators during the tariff debates of recent days. He had a twist with Jones of New Mexico and literally hung the Jones hide on the corral fence. Then came Stanley, of Kentucky, who opened the discussion by an attack on Ashurst. Democrat, of Arizona, for the jatter’s announced conversion to the protective tariff principle. Ashurst is up for re-election, the people of Avizona want their long staple cotton protected, and so he is accepting discretion as the better part of valor and making some protective tariff speeches which he would never think of making if election day were six years off instead of but six months away. In the course of his speech Ashurst was asked by Watson: “Assume that it is an honest bill (the pend- ing tariff bill) so far as the agricultural portion of it is concerned, if we put in all that the agricultural bloc wants put in; then suppose that everything in % is honest, and you get all you want, under your plea of the remainder of it being dishonest does the senator from Arizona intend to vote down the bill containing the things he wants?” To this Ashurst quibbled by saying: _‘‘All senators know that I so believe (in a proper duty on long staple cotton; but, if the bill should be a dishonest one, do you think that by dangling in front of me a tariff on long staple cotton I would be induced to vote for a dis- honest bill? All you have to do is to present a fair and square bill, and I think I have in times gone shown that I have some independence.” It is evident from this that Ashurst is digging a tunnel by which he can escape when the final vote on the tariff bill is taken. He will vote for the protective tariff on Jong staple cotton to please his state, and then he ‘will probably vote against the whole bill on the ground that it is “dishonest,” and dressed in a free wool) coat and protected cotton pants he will harangue the} voters of Arizona. It was at this point in the Ashurst speech that Sen-) ator Stanley broke into the colloquy with the question,| “Does the senator mean to imply that the agricultural} bloc will be governed in its attitude toward this bill} by the schedules in which they are most interested; | savings which can be invested in larger means of pro- that if the duties imposed upon agriculture are sat- isfactory they will vote for the bill, but if they are not satisfactory th I vote against it without re-! olitical alliances or commit-} Again Ashurst qualified with respect to the or dishonesty of the bill, and Senator Watson ned his guns on Stanley. Stanley started out by condemning protection in very phase. His state—the Democrats at least—had sked protection on tobacco, though the fact ns that the Kentuckians were glad to get $ per tobacco and they insisted on the Payne the Underwood law. He declared I d tted the hemp gard to their several p ments? 2. ted for less period than/ ness nation. This after the millions that have beea already expended to keep her people in food and| ciething, while the communistic experiment was being | tried out. If communism comes to capitalism for re-| lief where is the excuse for the existence of com- munism? | It will be said. of course, that Russia’s condition is dae to the war, but the fact is that her desperate con-| cition today is chiefly due to the ceszation of pro-) duction naturally incident to the overthrow of all the| fundamental principles of liberty—assurance of per-| sonal liberty and the rights of property. No one in| Russia is producing materially more than he needs for! the support of himself and family, for he knows that the surplus would certainly be confiscated by the Lenin regime, which boasts that it has “nationalized” | ssia has latent natural resources approximately equal to if not in excess of those of the United States. Its people, as a rule, are hard working and thrifty. Undoubtedly they were oppressed under the monarchy, but their plight in the former period was never so bad it is today. The people have no greater voice in their government than they had under the czar, they have less encouragement to work and save. This is not saying that Russia should go back to the monarchical form of government, but, rather, that there can be no hope under a continuation of the communistic regime. What Russia’s form of govern- ment shall be is for the Russian people alone to say. It is incredible that they have given their willing ap- proval to the present administration. However that may be, the right of the people of Russia to determine their own form of government and its principles is no! stronger than the right of the people of other govern- ments to determine what dealings they shall have with Ruzsia: The comfort and happiness of a nation, like the comfort and happiness of an individual. must always depend in part upon production of a surplus which effords a guarantee against suffering in a period of misfortune. There must also bean accumulation of | | | { | duction, including not only machinery, buildings, live- stock, and mine developmert, but transportation, in- surance; banking service, ete. Accumulated savings constitute capital, and communism is antagonistic to eepital. Communism has abolished capital in Russia, but, in the hour of her need Russia turns to capital- istic peoples with a demand for a loan of their savings —a loan to a nation that boasts of its readiness to) confiseate private property. The utter inconsistency of the position of the soviet government and the utter hopelessrwss of the plea for a loan where responsibility is denied ought to be evi- dent to any communist in the United States. What You Mean, “Sulking>” HE NEW YORK WORLD, published in America and supported by good American coin, prints a cartoon which represents Uncle Sam as ‘Still sulking in his tent.” Sulking, eh? The only sulking we did was during the period when the World was helping Woodrow Wilson gain re-election on the plea that he “kept us out of war.” The election over, we soon entered the conflict, sent 2,000,000 men over seas and trained 2,000,000 more ready to go. We raised $26,000,000,000 by bond issues and taxation, ate corn meal in order to send wheat flour to Europeans who refused to eat corn meal, stinted ourselves on sugar, wore our old clothes, loaned ten billion dollars to the allies, sacrificed our boys on every battle line on the western front, and paid European countries for every bit of damage we did to any class of property, even in some cases paying for damage that was purely imaginary. Since the war we have continued paying interest on the debt Europe owes us, we have sent ship loads of food and clothing to Russia, we have extended some six to eight billion dollars of additional credit to other nations, and have given every creditor all the time he asked. We have done everything Europe asked us to do except make the supreme sac- rific of American independence and American tradi- tions. Costs Coming Down ANNUAL EXPENSE of the national government is reported to have been cut three thousand six hun- dred million dollars—$3,600,000,000. This is reported to have been the result of the application of the budget system that has been en- acted by congregs—too good to be true. General Dawes, assisted by 13 prominent business} men serving at one dollar a year, are credited with! having accomplished this. | A start in the right direction has been made. The states may follow suit, Cities and counties may catch} the fever and economize a little. The budget so far as it draws the assistance of | mere taxpayers into the game of making and cutting estimates will prove a godsend. Budgets made up of the demands of thgse who get/| or spend the money will never reduce the overhead cost of government perceptibly. When the budget committee is made up fairly of both taxeaters and taxpayers then some results may be expected—but not before. State budget laws that merely assemble the aggre- gate demands of all the aggregated bodies of spenders end officials are a farce. ee Three Important Problems N AINTENANCE of sound and efficient govern-| +L ment, maintenance of our school system and| maintenance of our public highways are the three most important problems affecting our people today. Business methods and economy must be injected into our political organizations. While maintaining our public school system at the highest level we must curb the tendency to develop an over expanded and top heavy educational machine loaded with duplications and fads. z The future of our public highways is of the gravest concern to every taxpayer. We must see that perm- anent highways are so constructed that they will last) long or longer than the bond issues which pay for em, without excessive maintenance charges. | | Little Gir!

Many of the finest homes in the city lay in the district that will be paved if this petition carries, and it only takes the pavement to bring out these show places and make them stand out in the limelight.
