And rest assured the day will come. And regrets over what you might have done in the way of sav- ing a few dollars will be a matter of no importance whatever. It is always possible to live within your income no matter what it is. It is wholly a matter of adapting your outgo to your income so as lay by something. Adjusting your style of living to your earning capacity. Put something into a savirigs account and dem- onstrate to the bank in which you place it that you are doing your modest best to reach independence. That you downot spend all you make. That you have a thought of the morrow. - You will be surprised after you have established a bank account, and every week or every month added something to it, what a feeling of confidence you have in yourself and with what new respect banker receives you at the window. t is not the big fellow with the big deposits that the banker is most iriterested in, except possibly, to very carefully watch his balance, it is the little fellow who is regular with his little amounts, who observes the rules and establishes for himself a reputation for frugality, careful, honorable trans- actions, who kites no checks, and does not go be- yond his means or his known ability to handle a financial transaction. The Man of the Hour O MAN in Wyoming has a more thorough knowledge of Wyoming, its economic structuré, physical resources and possibilities, development opportunities, and government than John W. Hay. For thirty years he has bee® identified with in- dustry and commerce in Wyoming; for three dec- ades he has been bending his intelligence and en- ergy to the devolopment of Wyoming resources and Wyoming opportunities. He has made it his business to acquire broad and deep knowledge of Wyoming because he needed such knowledge in his business, and how profound is his knowledge of Wyoming is attested by his suc- cess. He is in a position to turn from personal to pub- lic affairs, and, at the zenith of his vigor of body and intellect, to give to the state which is helped to build and of which he is so fondly proud the bene- fit of his broad knowledge and long experience. His observation of governmental affairs has taught him — as their personal observation h: taught a large number of other’ observing Wy mingites—that government in Wyoming has reach- ed a stage where there are acutely needed reforms attainable only through the application of business principles to government, and he feels that his training and experience qualify him to institute and enforce practices and procedure which will achieve these reforms. The taxpayers of Wyoming are singularly fortu- nate that in circumstances such as those involving ahd confronting the governmént at this time there - ig available for the office of goyernor a man of the type and training of Mr. Hay; and it is not con- c¢ivable that more than a very small minority may be driven by purblind prejudice to seek to reject the service which he tenders and which he, as well or better than any other man eligible to the gover-| norship of the state, is capable of delivering. ee E , British Farmer and Competition MONG OTLER CAUSES to which the London Times attributes the present hard plight of the British farmer is “the unforseen invasion of Dutch potatoes, which causes losses at home from ten to twenty pounds, sterling, an acre and may restrict the area planted next year.” Unfortunately for the! British farmer, the manufacturing interests write the tariffs of Great Britain, and the “safeguarding of industries act” which inposes a flat rate of 3 13 per cent on some 6,000 manufactured commodi- ish farmers could get some of their products listed ‘as “key industries” they might be able to offset this compe from abroad. which is resulting m reduced areas under cultiyation. Seventy years ago the area of land under culti- vation in gland was seven times what it was at |the outbreak of the war; and it was about 70 years > that the corn laws were repealed and protec- t la true statement during the late war that Great Britain would starve in two wecks if the German blockade were successful. Fortunately for Eagland what would otherwise have been an intolerabte sition created by the repeal of the corn laws, was greatly ameliorated by the fact that at the time of the repeal there were vast tracts of territo.y }under the British flag or soon to be, which lent themselves to British exploitation and supplied England with raw products and foodstuffs. This jalone saved her from perishing of national inani- ‘tion. The late war increased these exploitable ter- ritories, but the danger of blockade in case of an- other Europeaen war still remains the hobgoblin of |Great Britain. | On this question Sir Peter Rylands, president of |the federation of British industries, and our own secretary of agricuiture appear to be agreed. The former st about « year ago that “no country |is economically sound unless its crop position is good,” while Secretary Walla has stated: | “During the next twenty years, either conscious- ly or unconsciously, the United States will adopt fairly definite p ies as to agriculture and in- jdustry. We « approaching that period which comes in the life of every nation when we must determine whether we shall strive for a well-round- ted, selfsustaining national life in which there shall be a fair balance between industry and agriculture or whether as have so many nations in the past, we shall sacrifice our agriculture for the building of cities and expect our food to be furnished not by independent farmers but by men and women of the peasant type.” Parodying ap old verse Representative Long- worth, of Ohio, in arguing for certain textile rates, once declared that “civilized man cannot live with- out pants.” Bat exigen. have arisen in which men were more than willing to swap their pants for the wheaten loaf. The new tariff law does one thing with certainty—it absolutely protects agri- \cultural products from destructive foreign competi tion and assures’ the American farmer of his,home market. Its flexible provision guarantees that in- dustry will likewise have adequate protection. Pro- tected farm products will result in increased pur- {chases by farmers of the products of manufacture; }and protected manufactures means steady employ- ment at American wage standards whiclr will re- sult in increased purchases of the products of the American farm. ——— 0 Criticising Each Other HEN DEMOCRATIC leaders disagree on party doctrine and party policy among themselves. as they are doing nationally and locally at this time they are in poor position to plead for votes jin November. There must be some sort of agree- iment and co-operation among candidates and man- agers or there can be no party responsibility suffi- ion to British agriculture was terminated. It was; po-| jclently fixed, to induce voters to take any stock in what is said and done. Not long,ago a supreme court justice and life long Deniverat resigned in order to. become a lead- ing advocate of the league of nations and asserted that the cause to whieh he proposed to dedicate himself had been withomt leadership since the ill- ness of Woodrow Wilsan. This was a direct and studied reflection upon su) men as Cox, the Demo cratie nominee for the presidency in 1920 and Hitchcock, former chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee. Now comes Senator Owen, of Oxlahoma, with a detailed account of the manner in which the fed- eral reserve board conducted deflation in. 1 and 1920 when the board was completely under the control of the Democratic administration. In an effort to relieve the Democratic party from respon- sibility for that deflation, Senator Owen says that the acts which he censures were committed by the board under “Republican influence.” By that line of reasoning he charges the Republican party with responsibility for acts committed by the Demo- cratic board. In other words, he pictures the Democratic fed- eral reserve board as composed of members who were either so weak in mentality or wanting in courage as to make them readily susceptible to the improper influence of Republicans, Senator Owen pointed out two particular acts lof the federal reserve board which he condemned {as being committed under Republican influence. One of these was in July, 1919, when Carter Glass was secretary of the treasury and chairman of the board, Ths other was in the spring of 1920 when Dayid F. Hurston’ was secretary of the treasury and chairman of the board. At both times John Skelton Williams, a Virginia Democrat, was second in rank on the board and W. P. G. Harding, an Alabama Democrat was goy- ernor of the board. These men, according to Sena- ter Owen, either had no canvictions of their own or they were so weak in upholding their convic- tions that they could be dictated to by Republicans. The chief purpose of Senator Owen is to urge the people of the United States to-restore Democrats to power, He expects the people of the country to place in positions of authority once more men who, by their own statements would be stisceptible to the controlling influence of members of the opposite political party. If the acts of those men meet his approval he would take credit to his own party or- ganization. If their acts meet his disfavor he would attribute them to Republican influence over a Dem- ocratic board. The real issue which Senator Owen has raiseed is not with Republicans but with his Democratic as- sociates against whom he has made the charge of incompetency or worse. ~ An American’s Discourtesy Niares CARAWAY of Arkansas on his re- turn from a trip to France, referred to the prime minister of that nation as “a sort of village undertaker.” But if Marshal Joffre, after his visit to the United States had returned to France and referred to Woodrow Wilson as a “sort of small town pedagogue” the probabilities are the senator from Arkansas would have resented it. The dis- jcourtesy of the gentleman from Jonesboro, Arkan- | sas, can not lower him in the estimation of the gen- eral public, His antics in the senate have lowered him in public esteem “deeper than ever plummet ; sounded,” but this boorish fling at the French pre- mier, whose guest he was, will not give the French people a very high opinion of American statesmen. The best that can be done is to say that we apol- ogize for Caraway’s inciyility, be Casper Daily Ccioune Neighborhood News. 4 r es There's A Coa.

AND MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1922. —By Fontaine Fox MADE HIM MISS A “TRAIN AND EVERYTHING. Renews His Pledge Talking to the people 2t Pine Bluffs, John W. Hay, Republican candida: for governor, renewed his primary campaign pledge to place the state government on a business basis. Je said: “It is time to reduce the overhcad! expense, People failing to da.so will! ko into bankruptcy, and the state Is) no bigger than the people. If we not able to meet our bills, the has surely come to take off the roof and find out what is the matter with the overhead.” i It is not my purpose to criticise the present state administration. Neither did I criticise {t during my primary campaign. All of us. probably are to blame, “We have been building up boards and commissions for twenty years, until now the orertead is too high. “I propose tr take off every use! commiasion aud consolidate a number of others, and put the elective state officials in chargs, They are directly responsible to the people.and the con- stitution intended they should do the work, “I made the promise during the pri- mary campaign and I want to re- Peat it to you now. That is my pro- gram. The opposition says the gover- nor cannot reduce expenses single- handed. That is true. But the legis- lature can work with him. I believe| a Republican legislature will he just as anxious as the chief executive to reduce the tax burden. I am not afraid of that body. If a single man| fafis to come in and help lower ex- penses, he will not be very popular at home. “If you want that kind of govern- ment, if you want these boards and commissions consolidated and the ex-| penses and taxes cut to the minimum, I shall appreciate your support at the election.”” Hay Optimistic At Sheridan, John W. Hay, having been over a considerable portion of the state.and having met many thousands of the people, made this preiiction of! the present campaign, in his talk with newspaper men: a3 Republican candidate at the coming election.

Indications are that under such com- petition train service will have !o be cut. The railroads face the same problem. in carrying freight. The public wil serve Itself best if it saves the railroads from unprofitable} bankruptcy. Steel tracks and powerful trains are the real process for handling inland traffic and if the rafiroads are starved by lack of traffic, the public will suf- fer. In the situation there is this query. Should the public tax itself to main- tain highways on which, for private profit, motor vehicles operate ona free right of way, while the rail- roads operate on an expensive pri- vately built right of’ way and in ad- dition pay heavy taxes on the valua- tion of such right of way? The right of way and its mainte- nance is one of the heavy costs of rail- road operation. It is a cost that mo- tor vehicles competing with the rail lines escape, save for the compara- tively light tax now imposed. Overloaded trucks do more than any- hing @lse to destroy the highways, tl sum. To save the public high- from destruction will cost an- other buge and constantly growing! sum, 2 ‘The problem {s how to balance the relations between the raflroada and commercial vehicles carrying traffic on the free highways, and is a very delicate and important question. ptabcd ot Eiri ley An iniquitous tariff is the tariff nade by the opposition party.—Nor- “I believe the state will elect every folk Virginian Pilot.
