Cangy to the governorship of Wyoming appropristions for state expenses totaled $1,690,000. | With the coming of Caney in 1919 the cost of state government increased right off the bat to $2,989,000, while in 1921, two years of Caney management, a furthe 285,000 was found necessary to pay the state’s bi Here is a net increase of $1 00 for the Canry jax boosters and Caner. spendthrifts to explain to the people who dig up the money. f We received nothing for the more than a million and a half that we did not get before. Is it about time that such a person as JoHN Hay should rise up io demand stoppage of this criminal waste of the peoples’ money? Let the Caney office-holders and hangers-on baw] about “brass tacks” and “eventually,” but it ie all evident that these people are not so much in- terested in saving a dollar for the tax-burdeneg citi- zen of Wyoming as they are interested in their strangle-hold on the public teat. Carey and his horde of office-holders have yet to show the slightest inclination to cut state expenses. Their efforts have been entirely directed to creat ing revenue out of the people. Their slogan has} been “The more we get the more we haye to spend.” | Do the people of Wyoming agree with any such | policy? ered to you by spec! he Tribune know ¥ Se Working Together ‘omn W. Har is in the north portion of the state} telling the people what may be expected of him if nominated and elected governor. He is meeting} with great numbers of people and is making a tre-| mendous impression. He carries a message they long to hear—reduction of taxes and cutting down of state expenses—and when the promise is made by Jounx Hay the people have confidence in his word. At Greybull, Basin, Worland, Cowley, Lovell, Cody and Powell the story of large crowds and public interest is the same. ‘ The people of Wyoming have pinned their faith to Jonn Hay. They want what he wants and they will work with him to get it AB nn Wages in Cotton Textiles its YESTIGATION was recently made covering wages and hours of employment in 61 northern and 32 southern cotton mills, employing an aggre- gate of about 60,000 persons. This survey showed that the average wages of all classes of wage earn- ers before the reduction which started the strike in the New England mills, ranged from 100 to 138 per nt above the level of July, 1914, according to the National Industrial Conference Board. The average hourly earnings of all wage earners | in northern mills on January 1 stood at 138 per} cent above the July, 1914, level, while the average “weekly earnings were 109 per cent above the 1914 level. In the southern mills hourly earnings showed an increa€e of 126, and weekly earnings, 113 per cent above 19I4. While there have been some reduc- ytions in the northern mills, it is safe to say that wages at present are from 80 to 100 per cent above What they were in 1914, as a whole. There have also been some increases in wages in Europe and the} Orient, but the tendency in those countries is for reductions relatively greater than in this country. The information is pertinent as showing one of the chief reasons for tariff protection on cotton goods, and what may be said of the cotton textile industry applies to all others with equal foree. Let us say, for instance, that the average daily wage of a cotton mill operative in 1914 was, in this coun- | t $2.00; in England, $1.00; in Germany, 60 cents, and in Japan, 15 cents. The assumed figures are not far out of the way. And let us assume that in| the United States that year the labor cost of pro- ducing a given quantity of cloth was $20,000. Then | in England it would have been $10,000; in Germany, | Without the backing of the Legion it is hard to tell jbanning American oil tankers from-the canal. policy that the efficiency of American labor is great- er than that« ~_y other country, and this should be take vasiderati .. In a measure that is no doubt true, although with respect to the textile} industry it can hardly be said that the American | peers can turn*out a greater amount in a day} ‘han can the English or German workman. In fact,| in the New England mills a large proportion of the| workmen are English. But granting the contention, th® efficiency of the American workman is not by any means great enough to offset the difference in cost of production of a given quantity of output, while the American’s standard of living, which he demands, and which we would not have lowered, is far and away superior to that of any of the others. A Public Duty HE Denver Times, speaking of the visit of Han- Forp MacNmrr, national commander of the Ameri- can Legion, has furnished an additional excellent Treason for membership in the Legion that may be read profitably by those who have not yet come for. ward in the present membership drive and enrolled under the Legion banner. The Times 3 “Haxroxp MacNimer, national head of the Serr can Legion conferred a service upon the ex-soldier during his recent visit here when he made it plain that ‘buddy’ and ‘bonus’ are synomyms. “When the public hears of the American Legion it thinks of the bonus bill, he said. ‘It forgets the other work of the Legion in making the road for the sick veteran easier. The bonus bill is in the hands of our jury now. We have been assured that it will pass. The American Legion never has lost| any legislation it has attempted.’ “The American Legion is biggtr than any bonus bill and the sum total of its activities includes the exertion of every energy <nd Influence to improve the lot of the ex-service m particelarly for those broken in body or health. . “The Legion thus far in its brief existence has benefited from sane and intelligent leadership. in what condition the ex-service man would find himself today. The national organization composed of yeterans of the late war is a power in America and will continue to be so, and as long as its pur- poses are to protect the ex-service man and see that the nation accords him the consideration he has earned it will be a power for good. “The visit of the national leader should have a stimulating effect upon local posts and instill in the membership of the Legion a yet stronger desire to make it of service to the disabled veteran. ‘Our chief duty,’ declared Commander MacNiner, ‘is to our disabled brothers in arms. We must see that they are taken care of and we must see that they get all that they need.’ But this duty is not lim- ited to the men who fought with them side by side. It is a public duty, shared by all alike and particu- larly obligatory, it seems to us, on those who can- not claim camp comradeship with them, but who, nevertheless, are their chief beneficiaries.” The Danger Ahead RING that “there are doctrines abroad in h, if not controverted and over- come, may lead to the fall of this great country as the countries of the past have fallen,” Col. Trroporr Roosrvert, assistant secretary of the nay the finger of warning at American economic strife in his addres& at the concluding exercises of the S8th annual convention of the Grand Lodge of-Elks, at Atlantic C “Tam going to point out to you’certain matters that must be taken in hand if our country is to make its march of progress,” he declared, “I am not going to try to make you cheer; I am going to try to make you think. “Were I to tell you that I thought all things were running smoothly and that I saw for our country course lying clear before you across a calm sea, I would be telling a deliberate lie. “I know not who wag to blame, whether em- ployer or employe—but if our country is to stand; we must mete out justice regardless of the affilia- tions. On the law depends dur society. Without law, our civilization crumbles.” “There is no excuse for-breaking laws. Neverthe- less, we seem to be increasingly lawless; we*seem bent on destroying the structure we have builded.” Don’t Shift, Reduce HE SUGGESTION that is frequently advanced for reducing the growing tax burden is to “shift the load” from one ¢lass of taxpayers to another. No relief would be thus secured. Relieving the farmer or the workman or the average citizen of tax payments and adding the amount to industries or those having large incomes would simply mean that the money to raise these tax payments would be shifted back to the individual throngh increased cost of everything he purchased, thus shoving the cost of living up another notch. The program of taxing invested or accumulated capital to the point of confiscation will in a short time reduce this source of taxable wealth to the point where it can no longer pay the taxes required. Then the burden of taxation falls back automatical- ly on the small taxpayer. Shifting the load will only aggravate the situa- tion. The one remedy is to bring about a reduction in taxation demands and increase efficiency in goy- ernmental management and expenditure of puSlic funds. ———_0-—____- . Will They Be Good? Sow TIME ago the Suez Canal company issued regulations which had the effect of practically Pro- test on the part of American interests followed speedily, for if the original regulation had been $6,000, and in Japan, $1,500.

This would have applied to the United States Shipping Board’s tankers, privately owned and naval vessels. The shipping board got busy. It was suggested by government officiais in Washington that if the discrimination were allowed to stand this country would retaliate through its control of the Panama Canal. Did that work? Raw-ther! as the British would sat. The Suez company has prom- ised the American Bureau of Shipping that it will change its regulations to admit tankers classified In shipping, as well as in tariff matters, the nations of Europe are going to find that it will not pay to pick on Uncte Sam.

Jond Hay and Governor Carey are putting on quite a race for the guber- matorial nomination.

The only thing we notice is that you mieet more Hay men, Judge and Mrs. Fred H. Blume were Guernsey visitors on Wednes- day. Judge Blume is a candidate on the non-political ballot for re-election to state supreme court bench. Fred Blume is @ self-made man, hav. ing earned his way through school by hard work and has arisen to his Present position through honest ef- fort. The bar associations of Sheri- dan, Casper and Cheyenne and others endorsed Judge Blume. Curtis Hinkle; candidate on the Re. Publican ticket for secretary of state, stopped in Guernsey over Tuesday. meeting the people of this section in behalf of his candidacy. Curtis Hinkle is no stranger among the old-timers here having been a resident of Wyo- ming for more than 30 years, back in the days when pike fishing was good at Fairbank as he tells it. Mr. Hinkle is a competent and honest man and he will/receive the support of many of the yoters in this locality . “If it cost some of the rank and file of the Non-Partisans $18 to join this league we wonder how much Kendrick paid to get in? Maybe it didn't cost him a cent—maybe they are spending all this money on lit- erature free gratis? Maybe not? The laboring man is being deluded with this stuff, but they will find the rank and file of the people thinking for themselves. Everything with a Bol- shevik trend—just bare assertions can't be crammed down the averaga, voter of this day and age. “Red” Hill, commissioner of im- migration since Governor Carey's re- gime, seems to be in bad with the Amerk Lesion boys in every part of the state. “Rea” was even minus at the state convention of the Legion at Torrington. Why? During the campaign two years ago “Rei” was scheduled to make a talk at Glendo, but word went to Cheyenne that if he didn't want to be escorted out of town he had better not come. “Rea” didn't go. As a politician, “Red has been a detriment to the gov- ernor, and to think that we wasted a good salary on him. Wyoming's Easy Money ‘The temptation to squander “easy money,” not spend it wisely, is sedi tively insistent. “Come easy, go easy" isan adage synonymous with “bad business.” The state of Wyoming has’ been and is the recipient of a steadily tn- creasing flow of “easy money.” It comés as a heritage from the found- ers of the state, who, with prophetic foresightr realized the potential value is driven to it.
