Guenther of Douglas has contributed an article to the daily press of the state favoring the increase of Natrona coun- share of the income from government royal a originiting in the Salt Creek-Teapot ‘home fields. Th object of the increase, from the pres- ent 2 pe: vent to somewhere between 5 and 10 per cnt, is to enable this county to complete the Salt Creek paved highway from its present terminus to the field proper. Without question it is a most worthy proposal. The necessity of completing the construction of the road is doubted by no one. It is the most urgent grolect of a public character the county and state we before them the coming year. The stretch of unfinished road between Salt Creek and Casper is the greatest industrial highway in the state. No equal length of road in the entire west bears more or heavier traffic. The present handicaps to operators by impass- @ble condition of the major portion of this im- portant artery are greater in expense and delay, than the oil industry should be called upon to bear. With a complete paved road into Salt Creek, ever which materials and supplies of all kinds could be safely and conveniently transported the year round to the producing areas, production would be increased, employment would be more eertain and regular and royalty income would Mes need. The state at large will readily agree that the county wherein the greatest royalty income arises for the benefit of th eschools and highways of the state should participate to greater extent than other sections which produce no such benefits. The great works going forward in Natrona county are not without terrific tax upon the people’s treasury for public improvements, upkeep and’ public ex: penses of divers and sundry character. To secure larger share of justice properly coming to N: for the purposes indi- cated requires action by the approaching session of the legislature. Fair minded members will no doubt see the justice of the situation and lend their support to the proposal. Mr. : launched a project entirely worthy n broadmindedness. He ts con- stantly ms that mean the upbuild- ing and bette Wyoming. —— Welcoming the New Year. WELCOME to the new year throughout the country more nearly resembled the ancient Ro- man festival, “The Feast of Bacchus” than at any celebration since the advent of national prohibi- tion. The country was dry only in spots. The large cities were dry only in the immediate vicinity of the activities of state and federal enforcement agents. Chicago never knew a wilder, wetter night and cast into the Sabbath school picnic class the best efforts of New York under the old order of things. And so with all the big cities and the towns in proportion to size and ability to secure supplies. The seacoast and border cities had little diffi- eulty in securing genuine liquor through the smug- glers. There was sufficient to react the interior and supply all who had tie price to pay for it. Those who had not were content with the home distilled and home brewed varieties. At least all those who desired the use of liquor for celebrating purposes had little or no diffi culty in securing it. All this demonstrated several things. The con: tempt of the people for the prohibition act. The inability of the government to regulate the per- sonal desires of the people. The determination of the people to have what they want. The willing- mess of very good citizens to disregard the law, withhold their support from it and to connive with others who make a business of law breaking, in obtaining things forbidden by the law. Never before in American history has a law been so generally and generously trampled under foot. Present conditions almost warrant the belief that a return to traffic in liquors, wines and beer of known and pure character would produce less harm to humanity than the present traffic in the dan- gerous beverages that masquerade under the names and labels of what were once known as regulat s. If prohibition can be made to prohibit, well and good. It will be a godsend. And it comes none too soon. For the tendency of the people is to ease, Tuxury and self-indulgence. The old virile spirit of morality, integrity and responsibility implanted in us by worthy ancestors which inspired us to protect and defend the countless things bequeathed us, is waning. And in the ultimate means but one thing—our fall, Just as surely as Rome fell, as fell all the countless nations and people of time, as second ‘clans |" The American welcome to the New Y shameful.

Mr. Vrooman said that it would have been a blessing had a bolt from heaven wiped out the billion dollar surplus of agricultural crops during the industrial dain That may be the solution offered by Democratic statesmanship, but the real solution was not the destruction of the crops but the relieving of the industrial depression by opening the factories and giving the millions of idle workers employment so that they could buy the farmers products. This is exactly what the Republican administration did do. - Incidentally, Mr. Vrooman said in the course of his remarks that the most pressing need of Ameri- can agriculture was to send its surplus abroad. Evi- dently Mr. Vrooman had ndt been reading the re- ports of the United States Bureau of Foreign Com- merce which show that the American farmer has sent more surplus abroad in the last two years than in any previous year in American history, and twice as much as he sent abroad in 1913. From this it is evident that sending surplus abroad is not what the American farmer needs. What he pAeRET SS Hands Untied. NENATOR UNDERWOOD of Alabama is one southern Democratic senator with hands un- tied by party solidarity against Republican pro- posals of merit. Speaking on the ship measure and directly opposed to views of his colleague, he said: “During the summer of 1914 and up to October 1914, cotton dropped from 14 cents a pound to 5 cents a pound. Up to that time there had been no embargo issued. It is true that it was said by all that this condition was due to war conditions, and we swallowed it, but we afterwards found out that war conditions stimulated the price of cot- ton, and under war conditions it went from 5 cents to which it had dropped in 1914, to 40 cents a pound, when we got transportation bqfore the war was ended, so that it was not war conditions that brought on that situation. It was due solely ahd alone to the fact that we did not have ships in which to carry our cotton to the markets of the world. Of course, I agree that later on there were other, causes that affected it, but up to October, 1914, there was no cause in the world except the diversion of the ships. ——--— -—-0 Changing Standards. We speak of inflation of currency, but could we not speak of an inflation of any market whereby it is affected by changing standards which are caused more often by the varying emotions of the people? Human emotion is ayfactor which the average man doés not think of in studying economic problems. The economist does, however, and he makes proper allowance in reaching his conclu- sions only after weighing the inevitable human factor. There has been a good deal of talk about chang- ing the standard of the dollars value. Instead of making its value stationary, it is proposed to make it flexible in relation to the index numbers of speci- fic commodities. The purchasing power is there: fore the unit of value. Because that sum purchases a dollars worth of goods it is a dollar, and not vice versa, as it is now. There ought to be a way of measuring labor in the same way. Instead of paying a man $2 for a certain piece of work, computed on time, as it is in so many instances, the wage could be more ac- curately gauged in relation to the actual piece of work done. This, of course, is done to a limited extent in regard to so-called piecework. It should be a way in which the honest worker would be rewarded fully for his labor and given an incen- tive for working industriously and expertly, while his less industrious neighbor, who perhaps works the same time but not so well, would receive less. peared: ack. Avs Beery Society Shocked. IGH SOCIETY in several populous centers of the country is shocked at indictments for crimes found by grand juries against certain men in the upper circles. But is it at the indictments that high society is shocked, or is it at the possibility that some of its members have been engaged in practices which, if followed, necessarily involve resort to such eccen- tricities as forgery, bribery, evasion of the income tax and conspiracy to prevent the execution of Fed- eral and other laws? A third reason for discomposure might be found in contemplation of the fact that should these indictments prove sound all who have had dealings with the indicted nien share their guilt, morally if not legally, and probably in both ways. The bootlegger does not bootleg for himself and, as it were, ina vacuum. He is the servant of mas- ters, the agent of principals and the servant is just as good as the masters, the agent no worse than the prir a, Our Opportunity. we does not America with all of the opporty nity before her, with the means, the climat the talent, produce more great singers? The Amer ican voice is said to be the finest in the world. Are| we not overlooking a great opportunity? Are we less enterprising than other pooples of the world? Have we not everything at command to develop a national music of our own that will add vital force to the scores of the world and the yoices waiting to be trained to sing it? What beauty and pleasure are within our grasp which we heedlessly ignore? Arp ne of the beautiful and artistic things of life go with the American character. It is far too often, however, a mere pose, We havq wonderful musicians an@ wond}rfal voices in America, but do we sufficiently appre- | ciate and encourage them. We may, but too often | we disregard them: The sensational, the unusual, has too strong an appeal to us, A singer or mu- sician is unknown today, but tomorrow is ac- claimed. Wo should have greater independence of judgment in the mass of our music lovers. We should not only encourage our treasures of voice and skill but systematically develop them and take rank with the world. 5 Late tld and un-) The Powerful Katrinka. should have is a market at home created by work ‘ing men being profitably employed.
