HAY declared in a recent interview that ine delinquent ats ee iene the tate was appalling,” says the Cody “He farther said that this should not be and that if he were elected governor tax-reforms would have his first attention. “In Casper he made statements which teuch a responsive chord in the bosom of every property owner who has been taxed until the feels like turning his holdings over to the state and county and be done with it. “In this connection Mr. Hay said that he stood for a business administration with economy as the watchword, for the elimination of functionless bu- regus and commissions, and for the consolidation of certain others, with an increased degree of effic- iency in management and operation. “I sincerely believe that if these teforms are made—and they will should the voters of Wyoming select me as their next governor—the reduction in taxes during the next four years will amount to several hundred thousand dollars,” said Mr. Hay. “In my recent trip throughout the state I have discovered the delingnent tax list to be appalling,’ continued Mr. Hay. ‘This should not be and it i the duty of the chief executive of the state to see that such deplorable.conditiens cease to exist.’ “The state government should be first in practic- ing retrenchment, for, unless the state sets the pace, it canmot be expected ‘that the counties and muni- cipal governments will’ be.able to lessen their opera- ting expenses. But I do not mean that in shaving our- we should be miserly to the extent of reducing the efficiency of our public schools or al- jowing the public highways of the state to deter- jorate. We must maintain a high standard of pub- lic instruction; we must have well-built and per- manently built highways.’ ” Compulsory ‘Arbitration NTHRACITE MINERS have: declined to join the operators in a request for the federal govern- ment to provide for arbitration, bat this does not signify that they would refuse to accept arbitration if the goverament should ask them to do so. The bituminous miners have not said what their atti- tude would be, although leaders have indicated that they expected the government to take action of some kind. The question of compulsory arbitration has been much discussed in an abstract way, and tried in ‘Australia without on the whole very satisfactory results. Few people believe in it as a method of settling ordinary disputes. So far as the interests of the immediate disputants are concerned, it.is bet- ter that they have the opportunity to fight it out und reach their own settlement; but where the in- erests of the public are vitally invo¥ved there must be a way of protecting it. The interests of the many cannot be subordinated to the interest of few, nd matter whether the few are rich, or powerful for some other reason. Mr. Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, has al- ways held very stubbornly to the principle that the government must not and could not compel the ar- bitration of any dispute. But while he never has yielded upon fhe principle, it is his credit that he never has permitted it to come to a direct issue; he never his got into a deadlock with the government So long as the policy of the organization is to avoid a direct issue the contention can be kept alive, but if it ever comes to an issue there will be no con- tention upon thet subject afteward. So long as the theory is maintained that any rel- atively small group, like the coal miners or the rail- road employes, has a right to take gdvantage of its relation to a vital public service, to shut off that service by agreement among themselves, re- gardless of the damage or suffering caused to the great public which sustains the service, just so long there will He danger of an attempt to-put the theory into effect. It is to be hoped that such an attempt never will be made, but that by the gradual spread of enlightenment all men will come to see as a social necessity that the government must have authority to maintain the services by which the common needs of the community are supplied. ASSERTS ‘ Smiles and the Lack of Smiles \ JITHIN a few days the Wyoming Democratic press Will be telling us of a few “kind woids” Senator Gooding, Republican, of Idaho said of Sen- ator Kendrick, Democrat, of Wyoming, with refer- ence to the latter’s alleged position of favor toward certain features of the tariff measure now before the senate.

Wages Outstrip Costs | 7 Ngsrpente comparisons of. wages of railroad employes with employes in other {ndustries cannot be made for all classes, and the latest re- ports of the National Industrial Conference board on wages of employes in manufacturing industries do not give data for later than January 1, 1522, it is interesting to compare the wages of railroad skilled labor with those of the skilled employes of foundries and machine shops who perform practi- the average hourly earnings of railroad skilled shop employes under the new wage cut will be $.701 those of employes in the foundry and machine shop industry stood at $.561 on January 1, and the com partive average weekly wages stood at &%:. $25.08 for railroad and foundry and machine shop mechanics, respectively. The increase in real week- ly earnings of foundry and iaachine shop employes over the 1914 level was only 5 per cent as compared with a 10 per cent, increase for the railroad em- ployes. The same is true with regard to unskilled labor outside:the railroad industry. The National In- dustrial copfsrenee board’s studies show that the average hoarly earnings of unskilled laborers in other than the railroad industry were $.414, as corth- pared with $35 for railroad Jabor on January 1, and the average weekly earnings of unskilled manu- facturing labor were $19.01, as compared with $1.45 for railroad common labor. While real earnings for unskilled railroad labor increased 19 per cent in the eight year period, those of unskilled labor outside of the railroad industry increased only 9 per cent. These increases are figured. both for the railroad industry and for outside industries on the basis of the conference board’s cost of living index for June 1, 1922, which shows that the cost of liy- ing at that time was 6 points lower than on Jan- uary 1. _—o—_—__—_—__ End The Coal Strike IETSION, the country over 1s undivided in its view of the "al stvike situation which the pres- ident is attempting to adjust. Little attention is paid to what the operators want or what the min- ers demand, but more and more the question of what the pubic must have, comes into the argu- nd | Che Casper Daily Cribune Just When He Was Discussing Southern Lynchings —_— - = \\( SS ‘The Republicen party of Wyoming will have two candidates for Repre- sentative In congress to choose from to ffil the place vacated by Hon. Frank W. Mondeil who is a candid- date for the senate. Judge Charles E. Winter of Casper is one and Mar- shall 'S. Reynolds of Kemmerer is the other candidate. Judge Winter ts widely known but the incidents of his career are inter- eoting at this time. Charles E. Winter wns born nt Muscatine, Iowa, September 13 1870. His father was a pioneer Methodist minister of Illinois and Iowa. His. mother was a woman of unusual char- acter and extraordinary devotion to ment. It is a cheerful fact that the influential news-| papers speak with greater firmness than ever be- fore-of the people’s right to have fuel when they - need it regardless of disputes between employers and employes. : | Speaking of the efforts of the president to end the strike the New York Herald says: | “President Harding has addressed the coal-mine | owners and the coal strike leaders with plain | speech. Nobody can mistake his meaning. Ths coun- } try needs coal and the country is going to get it.! The strike must end. If the operators and the strik-| ers cannot reach ar agreement as to the terms and conditions on which the unions will dig coal then the national government will step in and itself | get the coal out. a | “This is a vastly important juncture in the ‘Aaf- fairs and institutions of the American people. For the government could not go into this business “in| the name of American safety” as a mere emergency measure to be dropped at any moment with nothing [done toward the final solution of the great coal problem, with nothing at all achieved, in fact, but the digging of some coal when the country had to) have it. | “The government, once it gets started, will have | to set legislative and administrative machinery in motion to put the whole coal industry right. ‘The government will have to correct or. make others! correct all the evils that now afflict the greater part of bituminous~mining. The government will have to see not only that wage scales are propertly constructed, managed and operated to produce the | best economic results for the industry and for the| country. “The practice of letting the high cost mines set at | the peak the price of coal from all mints will have| to stop. The low cost mine will have to help carry | the high cast mine, with lower prices for the public | to pay on the combined product and with smaller! profits for the fat mines. Gos “Tue whole industry will have to be reorganized | into a few great groups, with stabilized costs| brought about through the zoning system and the! treatment of all the coal in each group as if it were | from one mine. Useless labor will have to be elimi-| nated and permanent employment secured for the) labor that is retained. | “ANl this is the ultimate destiny of the nation’s | coal industry, no matter what the immediate strike situation brings. The great national coal problem| will have to be worked out sooner or later on these | lines of putting the fat mine and the Jean mine together. And because it cannot be worked out on such lines except under government sanction and céntrol there will need to be suitable law changing, both statute and fundamenial. When the government does take over the coal mines as an emergency measure undoubtedly it will begin right then and there, the law changing to permit the cor- rection of the basic difficulties in coal production | under existing conditions. “In respect of this matter, therefore, probably it would be better for the industry in the long mm and better for the country in the larger sense if the operators and the strike leaders could not reach a temporary settlement of their differences, as the government then would be forced into going at once to the bigger and better work—to the sound solu- tion without which there always will be strife among the coal operators and coal workers and withont which the public cannot get its due from the coal business either as to price or as to service. “But as the first purpose of President Harding is to get coal for the public and as neither the op- The Arkansas senator noted also the fact that Wyoming's Democratic senator failed to respond with the necessary smile of approval when the Idaho statesman smothered him with “bull.” Wyoming people are erators nor the workers are yet ready for the ulti- mate solution of the problem, there is a very good ‘chance that the two parties to the dispute will re- spond to Mr. Harding's admonishment with some not so parsimonious ‘of sort of settlement.of the strike.” | duty. |reared the large family of nine chil- Left a widow. in 1881, she dren and lived to the age of 83. Charles E. Winter was the seventh son. He was educated in the public schools and in the Wesleyan universities of Iowa and Nebraska, graduating in the latter state in 1892 with the degree of bachelor of philosophy, During his high school and collegiate period he worked in vacations at a saw mill, a wheel scraper factory, built sod houses |and plowed prairie sod on preemptions and homesteads of Frontier county, |New, | There are timber claim groves in that county planted by his hands. |__Mr. Winter studied’Iaw at Omaha, Neb., and was admitted to the bar ip that city in 1895. In 1898, while serv- ing as President of the Nebraska League of Republican clubs, he made a notable address in welcoming the national convention .of the National League of Republican clubs at Omaha. For two "years he was a member of its executive committee. From 1892 to 1902, under the direc- tion of the Republican state central committee of Nebraska, he ‘stumped that state for Harrison, for McKinley land for Roosevelt, and ‘all Republican candidates.

In the fall of that year he served as a speaker under the Republican state central commit- tee, but his real advent into state poll tics was in the state Republican con- vention at Laramie in 1904, where, as a member of the Carbon county dele- getion, he made the nominating speech for his county’s candidate for the of- fice of governor. ‘This speech was of such quality and force as to give him invmediate state renown, and he was subsequen"ly sought for and served as @ Republican speaker in succeeding gampaigns. In 1908 Mr. Winter served as permanent chairman of the Republican state convention at Lan- der, and was elected alternate dele- gate to the national Republican con- vention at Chicago. His address de- Mvered in 1910 at the Capital Avenue theater, ‘Cheyenne, at the state con- vention of the State Woolgrowers’ as- sociation, on the subject of “Produc- tion Prices and the Tariff,” was re- peated at the National Woolgrowers’ convention at Omaha and subsequent- ly was printed, on the motion of Sen- ator Francis B. Warren, as a United States document. Another address of marked importance was delivered by Mr. Winter at the Douglas state fair in 1915 on the subject of “Prepared- ness." On March 8, 1913, having re- moved to Casper, Wyo., he was ap- pointed by Governor Joseph M. Carey to'the office of Judge of the newly cre- ated Sixth judicial district and-in 1914 was elected to a six year term with- out opposition. ‘This unanimous ac: tion on the part of the bar &nd tho People of the Sixth judicial district was the forerunner of and resulted in an act of the legislature of 1915 pro- viding for a non-partisan judiciary. After six and a half years of service on thi bench, Mr. Winter resigned and revatered the practice of law at Casper, forming the firm of Winter and Winter, He took part in the de- velopraent of the oil industry. In ad- dition to individual interests, he ts an officer and director of two Wyoming oil companies which have consider- abl» permanent production. During the war, as chairman of the Natrona county liberty loan commit- teo fer the third and fourth lberty loans, he rendered most valuable services. Sixty days prior to the armistice, Judge Winter placed his application with the judge advocate’s department for war service. His request for im- mediate action, which would haye in- yolved his resignation as judge, failed of prompt response and 30 days after the armistice he refused an appoint- ment as major in the judge advocate's department. Mr. Winter {is the author of three outstanding Iiterary productions, two Wyoming novels, “Grandon of Sier- ra” and “Ben Warman.” and the words of the state song “Wyoming.” He is the father of three sons, all born tn Wyoming, and all attending the public schools of Casper. In 1920 he entered actively in the campaign on behalf of the Republican party, speaking in all parts of the state. His arguments against the} league of nations were unsurpassed and aided materially in the large Re-| publican majority in that strenuous campaign. He filled acceptable a part of the schedule of meetings of Hon. Frank W. Mondell, Republican candi-' date for Representative, who was in- capacitated by an accident. Judge Winter announced his candi- dacy for the Republican nomination for Representative in congress in 1918, but withdrew when it became appar- ent that Senator Warren and Con- &ressman Mondell would both be can- didates for reelection to their offices, owing to the omergency of the world war, Wyoming's Interest in the Pacific Railway Decision BY WILLIAM C.

That line of rail- road is what is called in general terms ‘the Central Pacific between Ogden, Utah, and San Francisco. ‘The irterest of the people of Wyom- ing/and the Rocky Mountain West in the status of the Central Pacific rail- road is much greater than may ap- Pear upon the surface. Briefly, the supreme court, in the case of the United States of America against the Souther:f Pacific Railroad company et al, decided that the South- ern Pacific railroad from San Fran- cisco to New York via El Paso and New Oricans is competitive with the ‘Central Pacific railroad from San Francisco to New York via El Paso and New Orleans is competitive with the Central Parific railroad from San (Francisco to Ogden. The court de- cided further that the holding and operation of the Central Pacific by the Southern Pacific Railroad company constitutes a monopoly in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. The su- preme court also directed that a decree be entered into severing the control by the Southern Pacific of the Centra! Pacific by; stock ownership or ‘by lease. ‘The ‘Southern Pacific railroad ap- Iparently does not accept this decision as’ final, and has asked for a rehear- ing. It also seeks under the terms of ‘the federal transportation act which amended the interstate commerce law, thereby authorizing the unification or consolidation of carrier lines, to have the Gentral Pacific lawfully consol- idated with or placed under the man- ‘agement of the Southern Pacific re#- requiring keen intellectul application |TO44- an¢ agility is that of chess. Its origin is somewhat in doubt, but probably it was played in Hindustan 5,000 years ago. Through succeeding ages it has)’ been carried to the world at large with many modifications, but with marked characteristics of the original game. ‘The Moors brought it into Spain and thence it has pervaded Europe and the western world. It is a quiet game, played upon a square board, pmarked out in 64 square divisions, col- ored alternately black and white, in order to clearly define the respective movements of the players.

It will be a direct contravention of the intentions of the promoters of the ‘Central Pacific as is evident from the genesis and the history of the build- ling of that road. If the railroads from Wyoming and ‘Colorado, connecting with the Central ‘Pacific at Ogden, Anust enter into com- petition with the Central Pacific and ‘the Southern Pacific forming a con- tinuous line from Ogden via San n- cisco, Los Angeles, Yuma, Arizona, ‘Tucson, Galveston and New Orleans, thence by Southern Pacific steamship lines to New York, then the Wyoming mated as rooks and knights and bishops and queens and kings. Throughout the civilized world there is always in progress a great game which may be likened to that of chess. Sometimes, if waged between nations it may end.eventually in a great war ang shake the foundations of civiliza- tion. Or if the stakes are not so jJarge it may be a peaceful contest as in the rivalry of neighboring cities ‘and states, or remotely separated na- tions for population and commerce. In a milder form it obtains at all times between communities and among men and women for business or social su- premacy. 5 Perhaps\not many Wyoming people know or realize that today there is in progress a quiet contest for eventual and permanent control, own- ership or use of a great line of rail- ‘way that means so much,to the people of Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain ‘West that it cannot be stated or com- Puted in terms of dollars and cents.
