We did this as a test to confirm what had been previously impressed upon us, that there is no unemployment in Casper. Tho Sepleseints for free advertise ments were negligible. Inquiries to various sources has led to the belief that any person in Casper who wants work and will work can get it. All industrial plants are working full time. Field work for this time of year and season is active, business shows no let: down and no one is complaining with the exteption that now and then some person states that money is “tight.” Advertisers report ready response to induce- ments offered and good business as the result, About every person you talk to on the general subject expresses tho most optimistic views for a record business year upon which we are just now entering. If there is any reason why Casper should not en- joy a busier tare? than ever in her history that reason is not in evidence at this time. The Flirtatious Mr. Bryan. i hese PRESENCE of Mr. Bryan in Washington and his numerous conferences with leading Democrats has given rise to not only speculation but some real gossip as to just what his intentions are and as to whether he can come back and again aasume leadership in the Democratic party. There are those who believe that he has no further ambi- tion for another try at the presidency, but at the same timo he has not declared himself in favor of any other person, He openly objects to William G. McAdoo, believed to be the Wilson heir-appar- ent, and sneers at Henry Ford, the flivver favorite. If not a candidate himself the concensus of opin jon is that he would like to secure the nominatior of some liberal, or even radical, Democratic states- man. Mr. Bryan has his thinking apparatus in good order and declares the big issues of the contest to be three, which he defines as relief for the farmer first, protection for the la- borer in his rights and the curbing of the profi teers who aro taking advantage of both farmers and laborers. He makes for safety a reservation to the effect that no one can tell what internation- a] affairs may develop to divert attention from do- mestic questions in Toot. He evidently considers prohibition settled. So much for Mr. Bryans finger in the pie. All of these gentlemen Mr. Bryan so ruthlessly brushes aside say they will have nothing of Mr. Bryan and there is not the remotest possibility of his candi- dacy. This seems to be also the view of other Democratic patriots and president makers. Which leads an outsider to believe there is nothing really settled with reference to the burning question, nnd to wonder whether it makes any particular difference who the victim may be. tee Growth of Taxation. !4 REPORT issued by the National Industrial Conference Board presents some illuminating figures with respect to taxation in the United States and other nations. This report, unlike many others, essays to present local as well as na- tional taxation. As affording a background for figures represent- ing taxation in recent years the report states that from 1903 to 1913 per capita taxation, national, state, provincial and local government combined increased from $18 to $23 in the United Stat« from $24 to $27 in the United Kingdom; froin $17 to $22 in France; from $10 to $12 in Italy; from $12 to $19 in Germany, and from $3 to $6 in Japan. With these figures are contrasted per capita to ta] taxation at the end of the war, reducer to the pre-war internal purchasing power basis. Thie for) Aunt Eppie Hogg, the Fattest Woman in Three Counties. the United States was $32; for the United King- dom, $42; for France, $9; Italy, $8; Germary, 3 Japan, #4. In the fiscal year 1920-192) the total per capita taxation had, it is stated, increased to! $41 in the United States, $46 in the Unite King- dom, $15 in France; $8 in Italy, #19 in Germany, and $5 in Japan. | The report states that total taxation in the Unit- ed States, including federal, state and local levies, | grew from $1,352,000,060 in 1903 to $2,194,000,000 in 1913. In 1919 this total had increased to $8,034, 000,000, and in 1921 to $8,363,000,000. | Of even more significance than the increase in total taxation is the ratio that it bears to the national income. This ratio, as computed by the conference board report, has risen in the United be Casper Dailp Cribune * Up Tikk Had To Now I've ALWAYS HAVE Some ONE. fIsH OUT MY MAIL FoR States from 6.7 per cent in 1903 to 121 per cent in 1919 and in 1921 was 16.7 per cent. It is pointed represented of 1919, the 1921 dollar had, it is estimated, a ne lar in 1919, out that while federal taxes in 1921 a reduction of 11.2 per cent from the tot power of 26.9 per cent more than the dol! and the federal tax burden in 1921 is, therefore, ae as being actually 15 per cent higher than in 919. Another significant part of the report deals with the increase in state and local taxes. Total taxes levied in 1919 in forty-one states were 82 per cent higher than those levied in 1912. crease oyer the preceding year was 21 per cent and in 1921 a further increase of 12 per cent is shown in the total of taxes levied by states, The effect of the tax burden upon industry and development is not overlooked in the report. It is there estimated that in the six years preceding the war total taxes and savings amounted to a little less than 24 per cent of the national income; the remaining 76 per cent represented consumption and capital juirements. a 1921 it is estimated that $12,500,000,000 were available for taxes and fresh capital investments. Of this $8,400,000,000 were absorbed by taxes, leaving approximately #4, 100,000,000 for capital needs. Since $6,000,000,000 annually is estimated as the amount necessary for fresh capital investments, it would appear that taxes are making serious in- roads upon the surplus considered essential to eco- nomic progress. Conditions are not improving, for the reason that while no immediate increase and perhaps a decrease in federal taxation is prob- able, local or state taxation is steadily increasing, and this movement shows no signs of abatement, New Political Ideas. NTEREST is found in the programs of some of our new senators and of the spokesmen for some groups of-our citizens, notably the labor group. These outgivings need not, be taken as a menace of what may actually happen, but they ‘are certainly significant of a state of mind that should be taken into account. It is. found, for example, that the new Senator from Minnesota, Mr. Shipstead, is of the opinion that “the power of monopoly which gives owners and operators of coal and transportation industries the power to inflict hunger and suffering on the citizens should be taken away from them.” Sena- tor Shipstead is also of the opinion that “in prac- tice the Federal Reserve Banking act has proved a very clever device for giving to a few men control of the people’s money and credit.” ‘Senator Ladd of North Dakota, another progres- sive spokesman, has evolved an entirely original idea as to the adjustment of international debt. “Let the big bankers,” he proposes, “cancel an amount of war securities of each of their respec- tive nations equal to the amount their nations cancel of foreign debt, and then left the big banks of Germany cancel an amount of German war se- curities held against the German people equal to the reduction that may be made in the indemnity.” ; The idea that “big bankers” are hoarding in| their vaults bonds which but for their rapacity could easily be destroyed, is naive. But we find Mr. Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independent endors- ing Senator Ladd’s idea as “a proposal which min- gies financial interest with human justice and is replete also with the element of mercy.” , These are representative samples of views and opinions to which widespread currency is given in the press. At the samo time we read in the official organ of the American Federation of Labor the reitera- tion of Mr. Gompers’ opinion that labor unions are above, or at least should be excluded from, the operation of laws that are supposed to be made for the entire community. And in the last week of the year the Workers’ Party of America made its contribution to the chorus of new opinions by declaring, in -a resolu- tion adopted at an open conference in New York City, that it would “carry on propaganda to bring to the workers an understanding of the necessity of supplanting the existing capitalistic government with a soviet government. Workers! the United Btates, under its present direction, is going to pot! Let us hope not, and the soundest basis for this hope is that the ideas and proposals of these spokesmen of so-called reform and Biperes will be dissipated by their own inherent foolishness. Trampling Upon Sovereignty. yh BECOMES more and more evident to thought- ful men that the spirit of lawlessness which finds expression in the violation of the prohibition law, is creative of the spirit that dominated the Herrin tragedy and the viler and more despicable acts at Mer Rouge, and which finds expression in every mob that lynches a criminal; for all of these acts flaunt in the face the nation’s power to pass and enforce laws. All of these acts, great or small as they may seem, stamp in the mud and mire the very sovereignty of the state—the only thing which keeps the people from sinking back into the barbar- ism of the days when men gloated as they drank their wines from the skulls of tho prisoners whom they had captureil and murdered. Back to law and order! Back to reason! Back to a spirit which makes every law violator a criminal in the sight of himself and every honest man and in the sight of God, is the only way through which we can move to safety and the upbuilding of civiliza- tion and to the salvation of the country from ut- ter ruin. These are not idle words, nor thonghtlessly written; they are the living truth; and very hon- est man, regardless of what may be his feelings about this law or that, knows that these words are true; and he knows that in violating law he is sapping the \ery moral fibre of himself and family, his associates and his community, up to her with an ado, Vindication Red Heads Those meticulous males who are| fvasy about the complexions of their} The fieriness of friends—who imagine that they| beep associated in as if they wi go the pace at all hazards. alr of guilty bray. | after an exhaustive analysis of her ‘ore determined to/ performances in comparison with those of lasses of other complexions, has|drawn the conclusion that she ex- her tresses girl @ vague way with|cels them all in some of the most de- preter blondes to brunettes or bru-|f0me interior fieriness of tempor or| sirable girly qualities, nettes to blondes, and all that kind| @ffections or what not, and nods and Prof. Karl Pearson, in a lecture to of nonsense- be interested by| Winks have been intimations that the) university and college teachers in the newa that c the} red haired woman was in a | Jaimed that red headed rea headed gir ously and da to be sure, but who} Bt last Wire than red headed boys?—"are For conturtes sex st conscientious, the!

Selling By Proved Measurement Throughout the United States and Canada, newspaper and magazine circula- tion is looked upon as a commodity to be dealt in honestly—by having the quan- tity and quality proved. A great international agency is maintained, to make the tests of newspaper and magazine circulation—as a bank examiner makes the tests of bank finances. The name of this organization is The Audit Bureau of Circulations Practically every large advertiser and advertising agency in the country, and practically every newspaper and magazine in the country which is willing to have the facts about its circulation known, holds membership in the organization. Twice a year the newspaper and magazine members make required reports to the bureau as to their circulation, at least once a year the expert auditors of the bureau visit each publication office and maké their own test-of what the cir- culation is. The annual audit of The Tribune's circulation, by the bureau experts, usually occupies about a week. During that time the auditor has access to every fact and record in the operation of the office during the year, to prove what the circula- tion really is, An auditor would no more accept the press run, or the mailing lists, as the proof of what the circulation is and has been than a bank examiner would look at a pile of greenbacks and regard that as proof of what the bank’s financial condition is. Every fact about newspaper circulation must be known to the Bureau of Cir- culations’ auditor, and every fact must agree with every other fact before the proof is accepted. When the proof is made, a classified report is made to all members showing exactly what the circulation is, where it is distributed, how it was secured. The reports which the publisher himself makes to the bureau twice a year can then be compared with the proofs which the bureau audit discloses at least once a year. The audited proofs of The Tribune's circulation, in all particulars, are on file with every advertiser and advertising agency member throughout the coun- try, and are kept in our office for the examination of any patron. The Tribune is a member of the Audit Bureau and has been regularly exam- ined and reported upon for many years by the ‘Above Board Circulation.” It is regarded as good business practice to have no mysteries about the change which the cashier gives you, or about the yards of goods or the pounds of provi- It is regarded as good business practice to have these things You expect to have the proof, and the other party expects to JANUARY 27, 1923.
