In addition to this, taxes have m increased more than three-fold.

Although the buying of iron and steel may have been in a degree stimulated, its effect elsewhere has been negligible. The non-union coal districts are not operating to cepacity, and a large amount of coal stands constantly in unconsigned cars await- ing buyers. Reports from some localities say that coal has sold at lower prices within the past week than a month ago. The indisposition of consum | ers to stock up bespeaks a general belief that the| strike will be settled at least without any increase | of prices, and that there will be no trouble abont| getting coal. There is so great a surplus of capacity in the! bituminous industry that a basis for this confi-| dence exists, but the situation is more serious in the anthracite field, where there has been practi- cally no surplus labor and little idle time for the miners. The strike has lasted two months, and no progress toward a settlement appears to have been made. With so much working time lost there is reason for apprehension that there may be a short age of anthracite next winter. The miners in the anthracite field are fully aware that they hold a strong position, as none but skilled miners may dig anthracite coal, and they are disposed to make the most of it.

Ot Sentiment Against Fads 'IHROUGHOUT the west a strong sentiment seems to be crystalizing against the direct pri- mary, the initiative and referendum and the recall. This sentiment cannot be charged entirely to fail- ure of principle involved in these various measures. It is due to failure to administer these measures as originally intended. They have become the ve- hicles of self seeking politicians and the plaything for the theorist and the agitator, who, under their operation, can experiment with anything from single tax to state socialism at the expense of the voters. Under the direct primary system, there seems to be no way to check the flood of measures or can- didates which the people must pass upon. As a result, the cost of government has increased out of all proportion to the benefits received by the governed and in self defense the idea seems to be xrowing that the only way to correct the evil is to with the vehicle which makes possible the abuse. ay eae To Think About Ay STATE in the west faces the neces: 4° for tax reduction.

Probably none. left_them. “We favor the earliest possible repeal of the pres- ent Democratic tariff law, under which there has been widespread depression and unemployment be- fore and since the world war, and the enactment of a protective measure extending to American la- bor and enterprise tariff rates fully equalizing the cost of production at home and abroad. We pre- dict that the enactment of a tariff law adequately protective of American labor, in conjunction with the other constructive measures of the Harding administration, will be followed by a complete re- sumption of industry and an era of prosperity with- out parallel in our national history.” eee ee Whose Fault and When pa REN DID DEPRESSION begin, to what ex- tent did it go, and where did the blame really lie This the text from which Representative Ketcham, of Michigan, delivers a brief sermon to the Democrats of the house and all others who care to read truth as shown by the record. The fact is that the Democratic party did not go out of power in 1920 although they were unmerci- fully beaten in that year. The exact time that they surrendered control was March 4, 1921. Among other things said by Mr. Ketcham, commenting upon a chart which he presented showing the de- ‘| clines in the prices of staple commodities was the following: “Corn was quoted at $1.98 in May 1920. It reached 61 cents in March 1921, and dropped to the lowest point in the whole twenty-month period in October 1921, when it reached 46 cents. Ninety per cent of the depression in corn occurred before the expira- tion of the term 6f President Wilson, while about 9 per cent took place after the Republicans as- sumed power. <A. slight increase had taken place in the price of corn before January 1922. “In May 1920, the price on middling New Or- leans cotton was 40 cents; it reached its low point in March 1921 when the quotation was 11 cents. In January 1922, this price had advanced to 161% cents. In terms of percentage, therefore, 100 per cent Yet this is the position in which every state finds ‘Democratic adm itself today, The tax benefic' the overhead which the taxpayers must mect. Rclief will come eventually only when a disin- of the deflation in cotton occurred during the stration, while an 18 per cent aries have built up| increase has occurred during the Republican ad- ministration.” By similar comparisons Mr. Ketcham demon- €be Casper Daily Ccibune POISONING THE YOUNG MIND strates thst there was a 68 per cent decrease in the market value of cattle up to the end of the Demo- cratic adminirtration and a 22 per cent increase after the Republicans came into power. There was a 93 per cent decrease in the price of wool during the oaing months of the Democratic administra- tion and a 9 per cent increase since the Republi- cans came into power. Taking the prices of sixteen basic commodities Mr. Ketcham finds that there was an average decrease of 844 per cent in the market prices during the closing months of the Democratic administration, and an average of only 15 per cent after the Republicans came into power. After presenting these figures Mr. Ketcham quotes from the reports of the “federal reserve was headed by Honorable Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury, and the members were appointees of President Wilson. In conclusion Mr. Ketcham said: “The lines of political battle should be drawn upon real issues, and no vindictiveness, vitupera- tion or volubility should be allowed to obscure the real situation as we are to face it this fall. With this purpose in mind I have beecd my argument al most entirely upon statements of Democratic offi- cials and upon the report of a Democratic board I believe it completely answers the unwarranted at tacks of the dis' inguished Democratic leaders upon the Republican administration and places the blame for the economic depression of the past two board showing that its deflation started in the early part of 1920 when the board pro} was | years tion offi icials.” In the Heart of the West This is not where the sunlit plains begin, Or nature's orange-tinted ranges end. Among blackeyed Susans’ golden glow, Kissing the cheek of the goldenrod, Where Indians in days gone by, galloped and trod, Here, strong men and women have stood the test, Of the pioneer’s struggles in the heart of the west. Where snow-capped peakes, or Where the prospector seeks, ve canyons and dales, Sometimes wins, and somettmes falls. There's many a story untold, When the path was blazened In days of old Some piodding on where the sun sinks to rest, Others lingering in the heart of the west. The squaw still pitches her Lord and Master’s tent, Among dandelions and sage brush, Watching the night bird's descent In the calm of twilightSs hush. And as travelers from every clime come to watch its beauties unfold, Some to homestead, labo: May no man’s honor be sold, r and rest, In the heart of our Golden West. High Purposes “In announcing through the col- umns of the Kansas City Morning Journal the acquisition of the Kansas City Evening and Sunday Post, Wal- ter S. Dickey, editor and owner of the two publications, sets out “some principles which are refreshing,” notes the St. Louis Times. His declaration is more persuasive than the usual salutatory, in that for] over a year he has practiced in the Journal the policy he outlines for his two papers. He says ,among other things: The efforts of these newspapers will) be directed toward printing the facts, in order that the people may reach and act upon their individual conclu- sions. I make this solemn pledge—the same broad tolerance toward all, re- gardiess of race, religion, political Persuasion or personal beliefs; the same faith in and ambition for our common city, state and country, which have characterized The Journal for more than half a century, will bo the domfnant principles.of The Kansas City Post under my direction. Newspaper abuse of power is as bad as any other form of tyranny. Freedom of the press is guaranteed) by our Constitution, but freedom of the press does not mean newspaper license. It does not mean license to distort news facts. It does not mean license to misleading headlines. It does not mean license to blacklist citizens. It does not mean license to assassin ate character. It does not mean license to grab po- litical power. It does not mean license to manipu late public projects for private profit It does not mean license to browbeat advertisers, No newspaper under my control will ever attempt to make or break organ- izations, to ruin socially, politically or in a business way any tndividual for personal reasons.

But in the final analysis, the newspaper's judgment ts not in- fallible, and we shall not sulk nor vent our spleen if a majority does not agree with us.

Just think, he could use a bow nine feet long because a good many Indians used bows a foot taller than they were,” Ned declared. ‘Ted was thinking ana looking about him at the same time as if trying to help out his thoughts. “Don't you think so?" asked Ned. because Ted had not answered him. Ted continued to look about him. “Are you asleep?” demanded Ned, turning to Jook at hirr. Ted had leap- e¢ and gone to a little straight sap- ling. Ned went up to him. . I'm not asleep. Yes, I think so,” said Ted, answering both qués tions at once. “And there's no reason why we can't shoot a giant's bow and arrow! he added, eagerly. “Now I know youre dreaming,” laughed Ned. “We're not old enough trong enough—" But if we didn't ave to hold the bow and could use both hands to pull with—think of it!" exclaimed Ted. “Yes, if we could hire a giant to us—' er sir! I'm sure we can do it all by ourselves,” insisted Ted and he ran to camp and secured a small rope which was once a part of a clothesline. He also took an axe. After selecting a tall, straight ash sapling he trimmed off the lower branches, up as high as he could reach. He also piled up box- es to reach higher branches. Then he tied the strong eight-strand linen clothes line firmly around the sap- ling about ten feet up from the ground and tied the lower end close to the ground as shown at B and C.
