Here they are making a great hulabaloo about a few lots given to the city of Casper for public purposes. Figured by an ex ur Tribur 1 messenger whe ne know : pert familiar with values at the time the lots were donated the value aggregates approximately ten thousand dollars. At the time the lots had little or no value to Caney and even at that they had t: be taken from the Cangys almost at the point of a gun by the officials of that day. But the overshad owing reason on the part of the Carers in giving up even this trifling bit of property was that by the improvement of the property so given it enhanced the value of the adjoining Carey property many fold. ‘To set a quarter of a million or a half million dol lar schoolhouse down in a patch of sagebrush as was done at the time was bound to make the adjoin ing Carey sagebrush worth more money. That has been the contention all along that Casper made the Oarers. The Carrys did not make Casper. That Casper progress and enterprise made the opportu nity for the Carers to mulct the home builders of the growing city out of thousands of dollars for lots. Demanding a thousand dollars for a building lot on one side of the street while trying to get away with a taxable value of $75 to $125 an acre on the other side of the street. The Canets simply invested ten thousand dollar. in lots to profiteer several millions of dollars cut of the people who had to have homes to live in. Yes, the. Canrys are philanthropists, but they tre philanthropists toward the Carzys and nobody Waiting for Other Good News (ALTHOUGH the country fully expected the miners and operators to get together, the announcement of a settlement of the questions that separated them is hailed with satisfaction. Now if the railway men and the railway execn- tives will follow the good example of the miners and operators, the prosperity, that was in sight at the time the strikes were inaugurated, may proceed. A fuel settlement will be of little value without # rail settlement, for transportation is one of the requisites of the coal business. The needs of the country for transportation can- not be denied. The heavy fall shipments are about due, when grain, live stock and other products of the west must be on their way to eastern markets, while merchandise, building material and other supplies should be on their way west to western dealers and consumers. Meanwhile the fuel and food questions are press- ing in both directions. And winter is approaching with its discomforts accentuated when shortages occur. Industrial troubles seem to have a fixed place in our economic system, try as we will to rid our- selves of them. They seem to be the only bar to ua very promising prosperity. The public is waiting for good news from the railway camps. Our High Court ON. FREDERICK H. BLUME, associate justice of the Wyoming supreme court by appointment, a candidate to succeed himself. Judge Brume should have no difficulty in securing the nomination. The people of Wyoming are thoroughly acquainted with him and if they were but a little more familiar with his work on the bench they would be ufiwill- ing to see him deposed through any ill-fortune in a primary election. The highest compliment that can be paid Judge Bivme, or any other man for that matter, is that he is a thoroughly honest man. That he is capable, that he is learned in the law, that he possesses every qualification, otherwise, to make an ideal judge goes without the saying. All points considered, Wyoming has a splendid Supreme court. It would be in the nature of a back- set to the state if the membership were disturbed. Not that there are-no other men in the state who would be equally qualified, but that it is doubtful if the fortunes of public life would bring three such excellently equipped men together again upon the same bench. It is of the highest importance to the people of ‘Wyoming that their highest court should be of such character as to challenge the respect of all the peo- ple. We believe the court as it at present exists does this. Would it then be wise to ditsurb or displace any H is next Tuesday and see that Judges Buume and Kru- BaLL are given a large vote of confidence. Absurd Democratic Argument (CORDELL HULL, in his capacity_as chairman of the Democratic national committee, is making a campaign against the emergency or farmers’ tariff. In doing this he represents the Democratic party organization. He is in line with the atti‘ude of the Democratic leaders in both senate and house. The emergency or farmers’ ‘ariff became a law May 27, 1921. by the Republican congress in its special session which began April 11, 1921. The farmers’ tariff bill thus enacted and approved by President Harprnc was the duplication of a similar bill which had been passed by the Re- publican congress during the last few months of the Wilson administration but which was vetoed by President Wrison March 2, 1921. In the discus- sion of this farmers’ iurif bill, Mr. Huu, then a member of the house from Tennessee, was one of the leaders in opposition to it. The Democratic leadership of the house lined up against ir. When t was up for discussion in the senate practically ‘very Democratic leader opposed its passage. Many/| of these Democratic senators who opposed the pass-| age of the farmers’ tariff are from western agricul-! tural states and are now asking the farmers of those states to support them in the coming cam-| paign The American farmer today is able to measure he wisdom and safety of Democratic leadership by referring to the arguments made against the pass- ige of the farmers’ tariff bill by Cornent. Hurt and! vther Democratic members of the house and the! Democratic senators. They opposed the passage of \ farmers’ tariff mainly upon two grounds: | (1) The enactment of such a tariff would not| benefit the American farmer inasmuch as prices in his country for farm products and live stock must so they insisted) drop to the same level as the orices paid elsewhere in the world. | (2) The only salvation for the American farmer | vas tp increase his foreign sales. By so doing he would find the prices for his products returning to t profitable level. No one is better posted upon the market condi- tions than the American farmer. It is therefore needless to tell him that since the enactment 6f the farmers’ tariff the price of his products has not de- scended to the level for like products in other coun-! tries. Since the esactment of the farmers’ tariff Minneapolis and Kansas City have consistently paid more for wheat than Winnipeg; Duluth and Minne- ‘polis have consistently paid more for tlaxseed than Winnipeg, Buesios Ayres and Hull (England) ; Bos- ton has consistently paid more for potatoes than Montreal; Chicago has consistently paid more for all classes of cattle than Winnipeg and Toronto: Chicago has consistently paid more for sheep and lambs than Toronto and Winnipeg. So the list might be continued, bit these illustrations are suf- ficient to prove the Democratic leaders did not know what they were talking about when they said a pro- tective tariff for the farmer would not benefit his} farm prices. Tt needs but a citation of the record to show that the Democratic leaders were equally wrong in advancing the absurd argument that the farmers’ »rosperity depends upon the foreign market. The veriod of greatest exports of American farm prod. nets ever known was that of the year 1921. The foreign trade bureau of the department of com- merce shows the American farmer in 1921 exported five times as much wheat as the average annual ex- port of any previous five-yexr period in the history of the United States. He exported twice as much wheat in\1921 as he did in 1919. In 1921 he exported three times as much corn as the annul average of any previous five-year period in the history of America; he exported six times as much corn as he did in 1919. He exported eight times as much rye as in any previous year; 11 times as much dairy products and 80 per cent more meat products. In other words, Europe in 1921 bought many times more farm products of America than in any pre- vious year or any previous period of years in her history. This is a fact. According, then, to the arguments of Mr. Hutt, Senators Hitcrncock, McKerxar, Reep, Poxserenr and others, the American farmer in 1921 should have been experiencing greater prosperity out of the 1921 exports of his 1920 crops than he had ever known. Instead of this, as the American farmer and live stock grower well knows, he was getting lower prices for the products than he had for a gen- eration. He was facing bankruptcy and in hundreds of thousands of cases went “dead broke.” These cold facts completely annihilate the argu- ments advanced by Democratic leaders against the enactment of the farmers’ tarif’. Furthermore, they should effectually warn American farming and livestock interests against believing the arguments now being advanced by Chairman Hutt und his as- sociates as to why they should be elected to con: gress in order that they may repeal the farmers’ tariff. Why Importer Objects Dp EMocEATIC POLITICIANS are trying to play a trick on women, but we do not think it will work, ! They are attempting to fool the women into think- ing the tariff will operate as a “tax” which will be added to the present price of the article. They believe that if they can make women buyers think the cost of living will increase women will give a knockout blow to the tariff. The fact of the matter is a tariff will make it cost the importer more and reduce by that much his exorbitant profit. That is where the shoe pinches. Here is an example: An electric flat iron costs the importer 77 cents. The importer sells it to the consumer for $6.50; profit 747 per cent! Kh, what? No wonder the im- porter is against the tariff. What the tariff would do is to make the electric flat iron cost the importer more than 77 cents—as much more as the duty adds—and thereby reduce |his profit that much. It might not be much on one item, but on the millions and millions of articles he imports each year it would make a bigger sum than he likes to spare. It might even curtail his profits so much that importing would not be profitable any more—if the tariff were high enough. This would | give homé produters of electric irons a fairer chance |to compete. o——___— Che Casper Dally Cridune | Jesse Crosby one of the junior cap- tains of Industry of northern Big Horn county where he has lived for the past 20 years, is a candidate for state treasurer before the Republican primaries next Tuesday. Hi an- nouncement came late but that does not seem to bother his friends who are earnestly advancing his candidacy by rapid and diligent work. Mr. Crosby 1s one of the coming young men of the state. Big, broad and clean, a university graduate, and with a wealth of practical experience. He lives at Cowley and is engaged in livestock and ranching, banking, oil and gas and merchandising. He its accustomed to sizable business and is Salt Creek’s Candidate Erwin A. Froyd of Salt Creek is be- ing strongly backed by that communi- ty for representative in the legisla- ture. His position is made all the stronger from the fact that he is the only candidate for office of any kind from that section of Natrona county. The Republicans of Salt Creek feel that it is the cue important communi- ty, outside the city of Casper, with large and growing interests that should have a representative in the state legislature. Republicans gener- ally take the same viex7. Through the urging of his many friends, and the urging appears al- most unanimous, Erwin f\. ©royd has consented to became a candidate and his friends are now working in- dustriously to put him over, Erwin Froyd is a very fair example of upstanding American manhood. He is somewhat above the average and is in all respects qualified for the posi- tion he seeks. A Brief sketch of Mr. Froyd tells the story. He was born at Paxton, Illinois. He was orphaned at age of eleven and came to Wakefield, Neb., to live with relatives. Here he was given the ad: vantages of splendid rural school train- ing fitting him for entrance to the Nebraska state university where he Crosby for Treasurer Kesnan— familiar with the conduct of public affairs in which he has teken interest since hoyiiond, He stands high in his home coun- ; try as he does elsewhere as he extends yhis acqua ij Mr. Crosby is a son of Jesse W.

Mr. Crosby is making substantial Progress in his tour of the state and aid himself no end of good on his visit to Casper this week. 1909 with an A. B. degree, He spe: clalized in engineering and geology Concluding his education he packed his satchel and came to De Pass, Wyo., later in the year to Salt Creek where he was employed by Fitzhuh and Hen- shaw, the original title holders to what is now Midwest property. In 1911 Mr. Froyd went to the ©. B. & Q Ry. in the engineering department of Wyo ming, Nebraska and South Dakota, going to the general offices of the company at Chicao in 1013. For a time he was with the interstate com- merce commission and from 1916 until the declaration of war he was chief engineer of the Chicago, Peorla and St. Louis Railway. He entered the army May 6, 1917, as an infantry captain of Illinois and Indiana troops. In December, 1917, was commissoned major and sent over- seas. On his return from France he. was made transportation officer at {Camp Upton. His discharge from the army bears the date of October 9, 1920. He at once returned to Wyo- ming and has been a citizen ever since. He holds the responsible position of geologist for the Midwest Refining company at Salt Creek.

The Tax-Exempt Refuge The appraisal for New York state tax purposes showed that Jacob H. Schiff left an estate worth $34,426,000 at the same time it was revealed that his 1919 taxab’< income was $553,000 and that for 1920, $426,000. At first blush a taxable income equal! to only about 1% per cent of the value of the estate would seem to be exceptionally small, but the fact ts that Mr. Schiff simply followed the example of a great many other man of wealth in transferring his property into tax- exempt securities. Slightly more than half of the $34,- 426.00 Schiff estate was invested in United States Victory 3% per cent notes and municipal bonds, the in- terest of which is exempt from fed- eral income tax. This means ese interest alone Mr. Schit had an income er approximately $15. 000 = year, making his total annual earrings not around $500,000, but fully $1,890,000. A case witi, a similar point, ts that of the James J. Mill estate. Louis W. Hin former business adviser for Mra. Hill, testified in court that! beginning in 1916 and continuing until 1919, he disposed of heavily taxed securities held by his principal, substituting therefore tax-exempt holdings, and in this way Increesed her annual income from $365,000 to $780,000 a year. ‘When. our present tax laws take more than half the interest from cor- poration bonds it is no wonder that rich men seek the tax-exempt haven. Every dollar ‘that thus escapes tax- ation means that the tax load on the/ general taxpayer is increased by just that much. Start.to reduce the tax bill by re- pealing the laws which now permit and encourage the issuance and buy- ing ‘of tax-exempt securities. ———>—_—_—<— Inconsistencis: of Socialism Professor Ruascit of Cambridge University has written a) Russian Communism and advanced Socialism the ideal state. He says: “As regards distribution, what ts paid for each kind of work must be fixed by a public authority, with a minimum of what {is required for bare necessities, and a maximum of what will give the greatest incentive to efficient work .. . . What is essential is that a man should not be able te extort profit by his possession of means of production, whether land or capital, But ‘Socialism certainly has as its ideal equality of income, sub- ject only to such modification may be imposed by the special needs of various classes of workers.” He admits the necessity of “a max- imum of what will give the greatest incentive to efficient work.” Read the above carefully and ask yourself if you happened .to be one of the efficent class, what would you do with it? You could not invest your max!- mum earning or salary in land or the tools of production because that possession ofthe mean of produc- tion.” “Inequality of Income” complained of by Socialists is really inequality of standards of living. The maximum incentive to effici- ency,” that Professor Russell would provide {s itself ‘fatal to that “equal- ity of income” which mark the found- er of Socialism and Communism that would establish in the ideal state. Even the highly trained University of Cambridge professor cannot re- move the inconsistencies from Social- ism.
