Is the world and taxicab com- companies turning honest? It is a strain upon imagination and credulity to believe it. But, listen to this, it is a letter from the M. & M. Auto Livery of Denver to a Casper | man who recently visited that city and had occa-' sion to use one of the company’s taxicabs: “Enclosed find $1 returned to you on overcharge | of two trips from your hotel to the Navarre Cafe | and return. We are very sorry the overcharge oc curred.” The dollar was actually enclosed, which is another thing at which to marvel. The whole thing is too good to be true, but there can be no doubt for the Casper man has given us the letter as a souvenir and proudly exhibited the simoleon to our astonished eyes. Advertisements, of any character, are not ad- mitted to the sacred matter purveyed in these col} umns; but if the M. & M. Auto Livery of Denver} ever needs a character endorsement the: sa Cas per man ready to sign on the dotted line. | The M. & M. Auto Livery is unique. It stands} | oO History Repeats ET US GO BACK in’ state history for twelve id see how it repeats. Let us take for appeal to the electors of Wyoming by the elder Can Joseru M., father of the present governor, and examine into the things he complained of und see how many of the same errors, the hope- ful Rovert has fallen into, assuming for the mo- ment Josep corrected all the faults in his four- year term as governor, 1911 to 1915. Josern said that Wyoming taxation was unfair and growing worse. The small property owner w: paying an e: ive proportion. That state appro- priations were increasing at an alarming rate and tax levies were growing by leaps and bounds. Moreoyer, state expenses had doubled in a single ndyninistration. He desired to know why the in- crease, and in capital letters demended to know what became of the money. Other pertinent inquiries made by Josern in his famous document of 1910, were, what state insti- tutions had been constructed and how much had been expended for good roads. He complained bitterly at the increase of sal- aries of state officers, and inquired of the beloved tax ers if the income of any of them had been -orrespondingly increased. He railed upon this point, and this is his ex- uct language, “Offices have been created and jobs provided for ‘machine servers’ to pay political debts.” Again and also, JoserH was sore because as he said, “state money has been used to pay private expenses and to gratify luxurious tastes of office holders when traveling outside the state, and the people have had to pay the bills.” Joseru grew pink in the face with indignation as he told the people that “contracts have been let to those who had an “understanding;” not to the lowest bidders.” Picture, if you can, the wrath of Joszrpm when he informed the people of this outrage, “Machine fa- vorites have been placed in office, only to exhaust appropriations.” The sheaf in Josern’s garnering, the straw that injured the camel’s back, if the simile is ad- missible, was when he shot this one at the dear people, “The settlement of the state and the devel- opment of industries sare seriously retarded and every elector is being injured by unreasonable and burdensome taxation.” If the elder Caney will hunt up a copy of this bill of particulars and present it to the younger Carey, it will be found to be as severe an arraignment of Roser?’s administration, just as it stands, as the most radical complainant could frame in words. The things that tobogganed Joszrn into office have come back to toboggan Rosert out of office. Yea, verily, no former governor has anything on i He has gone them all one better in state expense, taxation and increase in spending money. ¥ eta instance The Three-Mile Limit “FE EPORT from Washington has it that the Brit- ish government declines to become a party to changes in the general understanding among nations that three marine miles from shore is the extent of their jurisdiction over the oceans, except as the jaws of each nation are enforceable on its own ship- pin, notes the Boston Transcript. “The question ©f changes in the rule was raised by the American government in the hope of securing co-operation in | Vladivostok. it was said that the British government was ‘sym- pathetically non-committal’ on the subject. Now! comes the report of a positive refusal to consider it. | “It is an attitude which is not likeiy co cause | surprise. On the contrary, it would have been sur- | prising had the decision been otherwise. The three- mile rule is of long-standing. Great Britain has vigorously upheld it in the past. It is recalled that ten years age the British government emphatically jobjected to Russia's attempt to search inbound ves- pels anywhere within twelve miles off shore from} It is also recalled, to be sure, that more than one hundred years ugo the Americar, gov- ernment passed a law designed to permit the search of inbound vessels within ten miles of shore, and} it does not appear that England ever made protest | against it, but we could hardly get far in an argu- ment concerning conditions today because of failure | to register objection to 2 musty statute of a century ago. However, it does not follow that England wall in all ways refuse her assistance in our éfforts to make prohibition prohibit. She may be willing to take action to prevent craft sailing from her ports carrying with them two sets of clearance papers for the purpose of deceiving the American authorities. Prospect of help in this particular may cheer the hearts of the prohibition brethren. “Apart from its bearing ou the campaign to make America dry, consiteration of the three-mile rule raises question whether it should not be revised to conform to modern conditions. It had its origin in the days when a distance of three miles was the limit of artillery fire. It came into being before steam was applied to ocean navigation, and before the internal combustion engine had given the speed of express trains to small craft, skimming over the surface of the sea, not to mention the flying boat. Today, with these new methods of rapid transit on or above the water, the foreign ship which comes unthallenged to within three miles of shore is often in almost as favorable a condition for landing goods as if she were actually at anchor in a harbor. Per. jhaps the time will come when these matters will be made subject of discussion by maritime nations. But it is altogether probable that efforts to amend the three-miie rule in order to assint pfohibition enforcement agents in their work are not likely to be immediately successful.” SR ee Interested Alright HE Wheatland Times, in speaking of the Hay| said, “More than half the audfence were Democrats who are taking an unusual interest in the guber- natorial race.” You are right, we agree with you. Take some of the members of the state highway board, for in- stance; we'll say they're interested. The above quotation from the Times is the “bunk” as an argument for Governor Caney, but it is as good as the “brass tacks,” or the “eventually—why stuff. Gazet not now” The believes we have two good men up \) the Republican ticket and we can consistently upport the successful candidate at the primaries, and right now it looks very much in faver of Mr. Hay.-Guernsey Gazette. More especially when it is known that the “brass tacks” bull was written by a dyed-in-the-wool Demo- crat. The world knows the Democrats are interest- ed. They believe they can defeat Carey if he hap- pens to be the Republican nominee. They have no hope in that regard if Joun Hay heads the ticket. Be BIE Se pat Sa Thoroughly False 10 AGREE with former President WiLsox on any- thing is some feat. We hardly expected to see, the day of such an occurrence, but it has come. And it comes with reference to one of Mr. Winson’s former henchmen, James K. Varpaman of Missis- sippi, former senator from that state and now can- didate to succeed Joun Suanr Wrut1aMs, who is to retire. Writing to a friend with reference to the Vanpa- MAN candidacy, Mr. Wiison says: “I am not in a position to review Mr. Vanpaman’s record in Washington in detail, but I can sum up my impression of him in a single sentence: “I think that he is thoroughly false and untrust- |worthy, and that it would be a great detriment to Mississippi and the nation if he should be returned to the senate.” We agree with the former president. The coun- try will very generally agree. It is the first time he has hit the bull’s eye in a long time. The Triumphs of Tyrus “TVE’RE TWENTY, we're twenty, who says we are more?” shouts that jubilant, perennially youthful Tyrus Raymonp Coss, as he whangs his way to the batting leadership of professional base- ball,” exults the New York Herald. “With a percentage of .410 the Georgia Peach, in his eighteenth year in the American league, is bat- ting harder than he did in fifteen seasons of his il- lustrious career on the diamond. In 1910 he at- tained his pinnacle with an average of .420 and the following season saw him bat for .410. “In 1922 he promises to outdo himself, and that at the age of 36, which in baseball is equivalent to 56 in nearly every other walk of life. In law, in commerce, in medicine, a man of 36 is in his prime. But a professional baseball expert at SS is as rare as a famous surgeon at 26. Life in the major leagues is intense, competition is keen, careers must be jammed into half a decade. A player who has been in the highest company for ten years is called gn did man, a creaky jointed veteran. “And here’s Coss at 36 setting a merry pace and still defying time. Clean liying, supreme confidence, a fine sense of humor and sportsmanlike aggressive- ness are the qualities which have made Cops the outstanding figure he has been these many years. In defeat as well as in victory he carries his fa- mous smile and an unquenchable spirit. His ag- gressiveness is not of the offensive, obtruding kind. He really hasn’t an erfemy in all the grandstands and bleachers of the American league, for the very fans who are loudest in their uncomplimentary re- marks about Ty in the heat of battle are even louder in their praise of him when the contest is over. Baseball is indeed fortunate in its posses- sion of a luminary like Coss. “Cons has not only climbed to the top in batting but achieved a notable success as a manager this season. Last winter critics predicted his resigna- tion as leader of the Detroits before July 4. But efforts to suy s liquor-running into the United vj} the Bahamas. At firet muda i tates through Lern here he is entering August with his Tigers among the first four.” As philanthropist or even as ordin- aty fair minded¢business people com- mend the world to the Carey outfit, root and branch. Tho picture tolls the story . If there is an outstanding family characteristic it is selfishness. Grabbing something for nothing, so to speak. Greed is an excellent descrip- tive word synonymous with Carey. Almost every Casper home owne ho has come to Casper in recent years can testify to the truth of any of the foregoing statements.

When Casper began to boom the practically worthless lands of the Careys also boomed. Lots that had no value were advanced from nothing to several hundred dollars each and grew with the later development and demand for building sites to the present condi- tion when $1,000 1s demanded for an ordinary building lot, while directly across the road for lands not yet sub- divided the Careys bawied their heads off because the county authorities re- fused to accept a valuation of $75, $100 and $125 acre for taxation.

Today I went to church. It was a warm July Sunday and we had been awakened early by noisy neighbors making ready to go to the mountains. ‘These neighbors have a habit of “lim- bering up” their cars—one delivery car—by opering and closing the throttle and. racing the engine by spasms. Mufflers are usually left open at such time, although a city ordinance prohibits this; but ho fears a traffic cop early on a Sun- day morning in a residence part of town? On onr way to church children rac- ed up and down the sidewalks on roll- er skates. Boys added to the din with a coasting arrangement of¢crude de- sign—being a board with a roller skate at either end and a soap box nailed to the middle—the whole being propelled by the strenuous working of one leg while the other rides be- hind the box.

Immense ditching machine, a mem- Tr | ber of the steam shovel family, nearly as big as a battleship and as noisy ag a.concert of airplanes and machine guns. This was posted nearly oppo- sito the church door. On week days this machine works in a leisurely manner with frequent stops for repairs, perhaps for a cig- aret recess among the men, or for long pause while someone races, off in a car-to get gasoline or chewing to- bacco. But today, during divine wor- ship the iron monster steadily stut- tered and groweled, clattered and pounded, drewning out the voices of the readers and sowing discord and dismay among those weaker members of the congregation who had not yet conquered material senses or learned to love thelr enemies.

Somewhere in the neigh- borhood the owner of a fleet of two- ton trucks was arriving shd depart- ing with amazing industry.

The Carey's are fine folks ty howl about the resources of the state going to the outside for furthet manufacture. They have practiced the same system for years. While this is the situation at Casper, at Wheatland where the land also be- longs to the Careys all the vacant lots in the center of the town are held by the Careys and they cannot bo pur- chased at any price. They are being held for the increase in value that it is hoped will come with expansion, if it ever comes, and the Careys will reap the benefit. to the word of God on this glorious Sunday morning, we knew that the traffic was fairly blocked with auto- mobiles, Fords, motorbikes and bugs, fiivvers and jitneys, speeding over the land in order to litter the landscape with their Sunday papers and banana rinds.

Chatterton returned Wednesday evening from a trip with his friend L. C. Hinkle, Republican candidate for Secretary of State, through the Big Horn Basin. ‘They had the good fortune and pleasure of attending at Cowley the anniversary of the Mormons settling in Salt Lake, an ‘interesting parade of ox teams, carts pushed by men and women, In- dian raids and patriotic speeches.
