Judging from the rucovds made by such Democratic states as Mississippi (vepresented in the United States senate by Pat Harrison Alabama (represented in the United States senate by Tom Heflin), and Georgia (represented in the United States senate by Tom Watson), this is what the Democratic par- ty would do, were it in control of the congress. In none of these three states has there been any legialation even of the most trivial oharacter for ex-service men. Furthermore, not a single state in the south has yoted any relief of any character to any €x-service man. Judged by this record, there fore, it is not far-fetched to assume that in compar- ing the appropriations of this congress with those t of 1915 the Democrats will object to the $400,- 000,000 which this congress appropriated to the re. lief of ex-service men. i * Restrictions, Embargoes and Tariffs /PPONENTS of an American protective tariff continue to advance the ent that the en. actment of such, a tariff will-result in a decline of our import trade.

It must be done in a soft tone of voice with both feet pressing downward on the soft pedal. It is this— will the announcement of Robert R. Rose of Kem-| merer for the Democratic congressional nomination) have.any tendency to skid the Hon. Joseph H. Camp off the-main toboggan slide? It would be really unfortunate, as well as sad news, 10 learn that Joseph had heen so skidded. It} would be in the nature of ingratitude, on the part of the Democrats, after Joseph’s noble defense of Senator Kendrick’s record, which said defense was recently pulled at the Natrona county court house in tho presence of twelve hearers. Then, too, when Jcxeph is assiduously hunting the elephant to earth in his laudable attempt to make the jugles safe for Democracy, he is entitled to greater consideration at the hands of his party friends than to have them raise up a rival hunter of elephants, to muss up the hunting and impede Joseph’s progress in the direction of Washington The Democrats cannot in the light of recent events, claim that Joseph reeks too loudly of Social- ism or Bolshevism to make a desirable bedfellow for them, for at last accounts they were directing the politiical ‘activities of these interests and court- their endorsement. In fact were establishing a mutual admiration society:forfuture political oper ations among themselves. Joseph is as good as the rest of the several var- ieties that forgathered at Douglas and is entitled to be taken into full membership-and supplied with the same raiment of many colors as the rest of tho brethren are wearing. While endorsing Senator Kendrick and other good Democrats at Douglas why was the name of Joseph H. Camp omitted? We are sure he is as thoroughly saturated with progressive political ac- tion as is the good Senator Kendrick. The Democrats are making a horrible mistake in snubbing Joseph Camp and trying to ruin his chances with a fellow like Robert R. Rose. Flimsy Deception D EMOCRATIO leaders announce that they in- tend to issue‘a statement comparing the appro- priations made by this congress for the current fis- cal year beginning July 1, with the appropriations made by the Democratic congress for the’ fiscal year of 1915, They propose to show by this that, compared with the pre-war days of the Wlson ad. ministration, the present administration is not eco- nomizing. If this report be true it convicts the Democratic party of attempting.a very flimsy deception. Every person of intelligence knows it is impossible to re- turn to the basis of pre-war times insofar as our public expenditures is concerned. In 1915 the interest bearing public-debt-was $969,- 769,000 and the annual interest charge was $23,084,- 686. Under the Wilson administration the public debt was increased from the above sum to $23,000,- 000,000 and the annuul interest charge from the above sum to over $1,000,000,000. This increase in the annual interest charge alone amounts to $975,- 000,000 a year. It must be met and to meet it money must be appropriated out of public revenues raised by taxes. The public debt itself must: be retired and a re- tirement fund must be created for that purpose. Thq retirement fund in 1915 for the purposes of re- ducing the public debt was only $60,000,000. Today it is over.$369,000,000-a -permanent increase of over $300,000,000 a year. In these two items alone there is a permanent and fixed increase over 1915 of $1,275,000,000, which neither this administration nor a Democratic ad- ministration could reduce, unless they repudiated the public debt of the United-States -and-defaulted in its interest charges. In 1915 there was no such an ;item.as relief for exservice men, which under the heading of appro- priations for the Veterans’ bureau today consti- tutes an annual fixed charge of: over $400,000,000. The appropriations for the current fiscal year include $100,000,000 for the shipping board. This shipping *board fiasco is a direct result: of*the.Dem- ocratic administration and whilein due'time it-will be eliminated under the policies proposed by the present administration any vison ofthe ap- propriations for the current year with the appro- priations for.1915 must take into account this $100,- 000,000. and charge it up directly not to the Repub- lican administration which appropriates it but to the Democratic administration which: created the necessity for the appropriation. In these-four items there is an.increase of $1,775, 000,000 over'1915, which no administration, whether it be Republican or Democratic, could avoid. Fur- thermore, none of these items enters into what-are known as’the ordinary expenditures of/the govern- ment, that is—expsmditures of the government which*might be reduced by measures of economy. The only such.items that could possibly come un- der such a heading is the $400,000,000 for ex-service men. If the (2) The enactment of a protective tariff by this country will invite retaliation from other countries in the form of high tariffs that will keep out Amer- ican products. 5 The answer to the first argument is furnished, by. the records of the department of commerce, which show that every time this country has enacted a protective tariff its exports have, under the opera- tions of that tariff, increased very materially. The second argument, that the enactment of an American protective tariff by this congress will in- vite retailiation from other countries in the form of high tariffs is false and misleading for the very simple reason that 22 of the leading nations of the world have already erected high tariff walls against imports, tariff walls which have been op- erating for months against the importation of American products .In this list o? 22 nations is in- cluded the British Empire which means not only the United Kingdom but the British Dominions— Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa—and all the Brititsh colonial possessions, whether insular or continental. This fact clearly proves that that propaganda which is being circulated throughout the United States to the effect that the epactment of.an Amer- ican protective tariff will invite reprisals by other countries is a propaganda that is absolutely false because it predicts that American tariff will bring about a condition which in point of fact already | exists and has existed for some time—under the Underwood free trade tariff. Not only have the leading nations in the world | enacted high tariff walls which operate against American imports, but not satisfied with protection affordel their markets by such high duties, a great number have establishel absolute em pargoes against foreign imports. Italy established an absolute.embargo in August, 1921, on a very long list of articles. This list, broad- ly speaking included all articles which can be made in Italy and all articles which the Italian author- ities arbitrarily classify as “luxuries.” Although this embargo has been relaxed somewhat since its imposition, there yet remains a long list of articles which are prohibited entrance to Italy, and the United States is the exporter of a very large quan- tity of these articles. . Czecho-Slovakia in March, 1920, established an embargo prohibiting the importation of all articles the like of which are made within that country and also all articles which are classified by the author- ities of that nation as luxuries, Many American exports are included in this list. Germany has an embargo under the name‘of a li- censing system. Permission to import goods must be obtained by a license and no license is issued for importation of luxuries or for any articles which can be or are being made in Germany—including, of course, a long list of American-made articles. Hungary has a similar system of licensing which} amounts to an embargo and which absolutely pro-| hibits a long list of articles which the United States produces and exports. Poland is another country wh tation of articles the like of tured within that country which the Polish as luxuries, Belgium has practically prohibited the importa- tion of articles made in that country by the imposi- tion of a 300 per cent tariff on manufactured goods such as textiles, iron and steel, chemicals, soap, rubber goods, automobiles, pianos, etc. % Spain has established an embargo on a large number of articles including wheat and flour. Switzerland requires a special license to be is- sued before anyone may import cotton, woolen or silk textile goods, cutlery, celluloid, varions kinds of pottery, stone and porcelain ware and meat prod- ucts when put up in tin or glass,—which applies directly to many exports from this country, Great Britain has the licensing system, under her “Safeguarding of Industries Act.” At present she has not applied it to any products from the United States because she is amply protected from such imports by her tatiff of 333 per cent, butsin her licensing system she has a weapon which. she is able to use at any time to stop absolutely all im- ports of any character. : Peru, Roumania, Ecuador and other countries aT Aarne ge & selected list of arti all of wi are uced and i peti hitty Pp exported from this This exposes the fallacy and the. falsi argument that the enactment of an Atieeaa oe tective tariff will invite reprisals, because other countries have not waited for this nation to pass @ protective tariff before they have put into ef- fect high tariffs or absolute embar; These facts also-show that the United States is not going to.obtain the foreign trade of such coun- tries whethersit enacts a protectite.tariff or wheth- er it does not.

Murray. Letter to- Mr. Hagens To G. R. Hagens, chairman Repub- lican Central Committee, Natrona county, Wyoming: Sir: In announcing my candidacy for state senator froma Natrona coun- ty, I do so after careful consideration. I stand squarely upon my record as chairman of the labor committee of the house during the last session of the legislature. You are, of course, aware of the amendments to our state compensation Inw whereby the amount awarded to tho injured workman was increased on an average of 50 per cent. No doubt you are also familiar with our new rehabilitation law, whereby anyone injured, whether em- Ployed at a hazardous occupation or not, may receive a certain amount of education or industrial training. unfortu- never good customers. er his old occupation to make a living] the past year, I am convinced that at some other industry. He thereby becomes a useful citizen instead of a burden to himself and the community. Certainly, as chairman of the labor committee I am entitled to at least part of the credit for theso laws as well as many others favorable to the citizens of Natrona county. Near the head of the list should be placed the act turning the state hospital at this place over to the county for the sum of one dollar, and the state farm loan act whereby one million dollars was placed in this fund to be leaned upon agricultural land of the several coun- tles. At the present assessed valua- tion of Natrona county we are entitled to loans from this fund upon land to the amount of one hundred and forty thousand dollars. I believe it 1s proper for a candi- date for the head of a county ‘ticket to let the citizens know just how he expects to stand upon important questions which are:liable to come be- fore the legislature during the next session. Chief among these questions, as far as I have been able to ascer- tain, will”be an-attempt to repeal the present direct primary Iaw, Such an attempt wes made in 1921 by the state senate under the pretense of amend- ing the primary law, but which was really repealing)it. The bill passed the senate by a small. majority, after a great deal-of. discussion and delay. It came up-in the house on the last day of the session but fafled to re- celve consideration. If I remember correctly the direct primary law was:passed by a Repub- can legislature and received the hearty approval of J. M. Carey, who was then governor. It\is not perfect, but do you, as a lawyer know of 2 single law upon our statutes which is perfect? It seems to me that from a Republican standpoint, as well as from the view of the average citizens, it would be a very serious mistake to repeal the present primary-law. I be- eve you will agree that if the voters of this county are not capable of se- lecting thelr own party candidates, they are not capable of voting for them after they are selected. From criticisms I have heard of the handling-of our instead of repealing the primary law or revising it, it should be extended by inserting provisions for a recall of our public offictals. As chairman of the Natrona County Central Committee, you are I hope, too loyal to the party to take any ac- tive part in the primaries. ‘Therefore, T will ask the newspapers of this county to publish this letter. I am perfectly willing to let the voters of this county decide this question as far as I am concerned, on August! 22. J, B. FRISBY. July 21. ‘What nation has the largest reserve army?
