Whether these holes are the re- sult of defective workmanship on the part of the paving contractor, fault in the materials used, fail- ure to comply with specifications or negligance in protecting the people’s interests on the part of city inspectors? In brief who is responsible? Failure to repair the paving where necessary openings have been made for gas and water lines is bad enongh in all conscience; but when large depressions, which later develop into wide open- ings, upon the principal business streets, there | kets, in order to pursue the ignus fatuus of foreign Natrona markets?

Presidext and Zdutor | too blindly followed are groups of people who are | professionally employed in trying to divert Ameri- | European countries. New York, for example, is a| Bos | great center of Americanism, and it has a host oi | i ly little of our production in a market abroad that _ The Review warns upon this point in the follow- ing language: “The leaders and teachers who ought not to be! can capital and American economic energy from the symmetrical development of our own indus- trial life, to serve the immeliate convenience of capable men in the pursuits of industry and f nance who see things in terms of onr national de- felopment and progress. But there are also in New York able men whose point of view is essentially international, some of whom are for business or personal reasons more concerned about restoring European industry with American capital than in the vitalizing of our own production and com- merce. “All the markets of the world are of slight use to the United States as compared with our own do- mestic market. Europe is far richer and better de- veloped than the United States. Every Etfropean country is devoted to its own interests, and all of them look upon the United States as an easymark. Americans are self-reliant and hospitable, and they have been trained to an attitude of philanthropy hardly known in most other countries. So many na- tions are represented in our population, particu larly through recent drifts of migration, that our contracts with forty different countries have more intimate ways of expression than those of any other nation. “It does not impoverish us to help the hungry, and it would not benefit us to turn a deaf ear to foreign appeals; but it would be a calamity if) European propaganda, cleverly directed here, should so puzzle us as to existing business condi- tions that we should waver and break along the line of our soundest policies. Our best service to the world lies in maintaining our national life and character. One way of doing this to to refase firm- ly to open the floodgates to fresh millions ef unde- sirable immigrants. Another way to do it is to refuse to break down our industries and our home markets by opening trade doors to floods of cheap foreign commodities, while we in turn are fercing down wages and despoiling our farms in the at- tempt to export increasing food surpluses to pay for foreign goods. We shall not collect the sums that European governments owe us by the mere process of opening the bars to foreign manufac turers.” must be a reason for them to be explained by those in authority, present or past. Can it be breaks in water lines? is the base insufficient in strength to sustain the traffic? Has the contractor “snitched” on materials, and| in private enterprise in accordance with the usual in conseqnence the base has crumbled under the weight that daily passes over it? If the contractor's guarantee has not expired is it not possible to call him back and have the pay- ing patched up so that a trip over the paved area does not so much resemble journeying over plowed ground? Many very excellent citizens and taxpayers are inquiring about such matters. They have no fears for future paving while Mayor Blackmore is on the job, but they aant what is coming to them for the meney spent on former contracts. Don’t Surrender Home Markets HALL WE continue mainly to develop the home market, reserving it particularly for our own prodncers or shall we enter more actively into the competitive scramble for fereign trade, which would mean 2 corresponding reduction of the bar- riers against outside producers? The current issue of the Review of Reviews edi- toriallty puts the above question to the American public. It also furnishes its own answer to the question and buttresses the answer by logical facts which should claim the earnest attention of every American, whether he be a manufacturer, an in- dustrial werker, a farmer or a business man. editorial traces the growth of the development of the United States prior to the world war. Upon this point it says in part: For some years before the great war we were growing toward a balanced economic life; that is y, our great agricultural states were building cities, diversifying their industries and depending less and less upon selling their products in mar- kets thousands of miles distant. Quite apart from an economic and political theory there was a pre- valent business instinct which made it seem to be an good thing to have steady markets at home rather than to be seeking outlets for surplus goods in mar- kets that were under the control of distant gevern- ments and subject to all sorts of varying factors of competition.” Then came the war, which the editorial points out changed the viewpoint of things. Our agricul- tural producers in common with our industries were urged to speed up their production and cut down their home consumption in order that the surplus might be sold to Europe at high prices. ven after the war a certain school of politicians kept up the agitation that Europe would continne to need our stuff more than ever. Continuing, the Review of Reviews editorially points out that what- ever may have been the demand in Europe for the products of our farm and factory during the war and immediately following it, this demand no long- in pressing proportions. “Speaking s the Review of Reviews, “the Europ- ean peoples are industrious and skillful; and be- ing too poor to buy high priced supplies from the United States they have worked harder to meet their own needs and they will never buy from us again. In their present humble state they work longer hours fer less pay to make goods for export at reduced prices with which American industries will not be able te compete.” During the half to three quarters of a century prior to the world war Great Britain had built up as an industrial nation. Her policies were all for- multed to that end, but in later years prior to the war her industrial supremacy was seriously threat- ened. Germany had become a formidable compet- itor. Moreover, as the editor points out, the United States, under its protective tariff, had de- veloped into an industrial nation which outstripped Great Britain. The war wrought changes in the} economic life of Europe and the world that were as titanic as were the political changes. However, it left America the undisputed industrial leader with the richest markets and the most prosperous people. Our industrial supremacy is the object of envy of the nations of Europe, particularly of those nations which were formerly formidable in- dustrial cometitors—England and Germany. Shall the United States abandon those policies which mi industri: trong at the bidding of her ade it iropean competitors? Shall the people of this itry be misled by the propaganda which is be- so widely disseminated in favor of letting down the bars to European producers in order that the may exploit the American market and take from, the producer? Se Business ‘of Private Capital ByYz2= REASON exists why surplus American capital should be invested in the restoration of Europe, but it shoul¢. be private capital, invested | principles and practices of private business. No far as American capital is needed for the develop- ment of enterprises in the United States, it shonld.| and will, be used here. The people who have saved some of their earnings and have it availab!e for vestment, naturally desire to invest it as close to home as possible. But there are many indications that there is a surplus of capital, and there is no place where it can be more usefully or profitably used abroad than in de ted Europe. Jf wisely invested, it should bring sfactory returns. The occasion for government loans has passed. Europe does not need and should not have gov- ernment loans granted on grounds of national ex- pediency. What Europe needs is a restoration of private industry through which the governments may get back on a normal basis. The investment} ‘of money in private enterprise is purely a private transaction and should be, as it evidently will be, conducted on purely business principles so far as amounts, security, rates of interest, and time are concerned. Whenever American business leaders who are now in Europe negotiate loans on terms which they deem satisfactory for the safety of their own money, they will undoubtedly find plenty of hall we drop what we have terests and the United States fellow citizens with far smaller savings who will be glad to join in financing the loans. Government officials may be capable censors of the political propriety of foreign loans but they are hardly proper judges of security and terms on which loans should be made. These men whose money is to be loaned and who stand to gain or lose by the soundness of their judgment, are the only ones whose sanction should be relied upon. In accordance with its general principle of put ting less government in business and more busi- ness in government, the Harding administration iv wisely leaving the money leanding business to pri- yate enterprise. ee ees Foreign Tariff Changes fA eee is not the only country engaged in tariff revision. Austrian duties on nonluxury | |Zoods, as paid in paper have been increased to 1,000 times the basic gold rates, which will give some idea of inflation in that country. In Hungary the basic duties on imported Iuxuries are to be multi- plied by 170 when paid in paper. There has been a terrific depreciation of exchange in this country, a fact which was emphasized recently when a print- ing house in Budapest circulated this country with an offer to furnish the paper, envelopes, print, fold address and pay posage on 16,000 circulars for 25,000 gronen, or, as the house pointed out, $36 in American money. “Please let us have sample cop- ies of advertising literature you desire printed, upon receipt of which we will promptly furnish you with advantageous offers.” said. the Hugarian advertisement. The best pri¢e that could be ob- tained in New York City on the same work was $293.50. The new customs tariff amendment act of Sweden became effective March 27, last. The duties on many articles have been increased as much as five/‘irst times the former rates. If any such proposition was presented to the American people there would be a riot. As it is, the minority are putting up an awful wail because of duty rates which on the aver- age will probably not exceed those of the old Payne law. The new tariff of the Virgin Islands of the Brit- ish West Indies has been adopted. Provision is made for preferential rates on goods of British origin, in harmony with the general British scheme of preferentials to products of the British empire. The United Kingdom has now established the im- perial preferential system in practically all its ter- ritory. InMesopotamia the duties on a large number of products have been materially increased. In Ar- gentina the minister of finance has issued a resolu- tion providing that “goods which, in accordance with the tariff of values and its complementary regulations, must be weighed inclusive of their wrappings and internal containers will be subject to an increase of 10 per cent of their respective valuation.” In the union of South Africa, where heretofore large amounts of advertising have been sent by American firms, they are collecting a duty on catalogs, price lists, ete. These couztries are looking after their own in- must look after its Che Casper Daily Cribune Attractive Securities For the encouragement of thrift, the treasury department is now offer- ing the most attractive security ever offered by the government to small savers. These securities, in small amounts, are sold at a price which, at the end of five years, gives the in- vestor a return of 5 per cent interest per year. This is done by allowing a rate of 4% per cent but compounding it semiannually. This security should be attractive to people who are sav- ing for the future rather than seck- ing an income for current expendi- ture. The sales of these securities, known as treasury savings certifi- cates, series 1922, had reached $2: 134,000 at.the end of the first quar- ter of the year, or $2,000,000 more than the sales of war savings certifi- cates for the entire year of 1921. There are several reasons fer the four-fold increase in the popular mar- ket for “baby bonds.” ‘The tide of prosperity that set in a few months ago and the consequent enhanced pur- chasing power of the individual is re- sponsible for the absorption of many of those sevuritics, but the new pol- icies of the Republican administration should be credited with most of the \wakened public interest in this form of investment. During the war the Democrats had worked out a scheme by which thrift stamps were sold for 25 cents, exchangeable for. war snv- ings stamps selling for from $4.12 up according to date of purchase.. The latter stamps are redeemable at the end of five years for $5 each, repre- senting a return of 4 per cent, com- pounded quarterly, on the investment. The sale of those securities was al lowed to continue until December of last year, when Secretary Mellon put the present plan into effect. ‘Thrift stamps and war savings stamps are no longer sold. Instead, the public ts offered an investment in the shape of treasury savings certifi- cates, selling for $20, $80, and $800 each. They are redeemable in five years for $25, $100 and $1,000, respect- compounded semi-annually. In addition there is offered a treasury saving? stamp for $1. They do not bear in- terest, but when 20 of them have been collected they may be exchanged for a certificate. Under the old system no person could buy more than $100 worth of stamps at one time, nor own more than $1,000 worth at one time. Secretary Melion has removed all re- strictions on the amount of sales, ex- cept that a limit of $5,000 has been placed on the amount of any series that a single individual may hold. ‘The postoffice department is work- ing in close co-operation with the treasury in familiarizing the people with the new opportunity for thrifty investment, Ten-cent postal savings stamps, and all postal savings depos- its, may be exchanged for the treas- ury savings certificates. Certificates and savings stamps are on sale at practically af postoffices and banks, or may be bought direct from the treasury at Washington. This is the year the new securities have been available for purchase, and the eagerness with which they have been taken, as compared with the _pur- chases of the former baby bonds, is testimony to the sound judgment of the treasury officials. Has Little Sand “Have you ever noticed that those who are most ready to throw ‘mud’ usually have precious little ‘sand.’ says the Baggs Sentinel. ‘Those long distance guriners who are directing their ‘mud-batteries’ against Fondell have little else but mud in their am- munition, and yet the big magazine writers of the country give Wyoming credit for having one of the greatest congressmen of his time. give Wyo- ming credit for having one of the most forceful leaders the house has ever had; give Wyoming credit for having a man who in a quarter of a century has missed only five days of atten- dance during all of those years.” pele Pen Sot The United Home Builders’ associ- ation is here to assist you, to make namely, our tremendously yaluable demestic mar: own, you thrifty, prosperous and happy.

BLANDEN. Chicago, Mil. Forget Wet Stuff Over in Cody the papers are con- tinually harping on. the wet question, when as a matter of fact there should be no wet question. Federal and state enforcement officers say that teary, ‘a return of 4% per cent {the prohibition laws are being en- forced with as much efficiency as any of our laws. Why not accept the fact that violators of the liquor laws are criminals just as much as bank robbers and thugs, and treat them as such? There is no excuse to be made in one instance and not in the other. The eighteenth amendment was adopted as law and until it should be changed legally there is nothing to be gained by everlastingly trying to keep alive dead issues. Those who are opposed have their constitutional right to oppose it legally and attempt repeal of the law in the manner pro- vided by the constitution. There are a lot of people opposed to many of our laws and they have a perfect right to try and get them repeated in a lawful manner. It is just as well that those who shout the loudest for the enforce. ment of the prohibition law recognize the fact that thone opposed have legal rights to secure a repeal of the law if they want it repealed. In the mean- time the law will no doubt be made more workable and the violators given a punishment that will deter them from future violations. A good rock pile properly administered will do more to stop liquor violations than all the fanatics.—Basin Republican.
