This is due to the. fact t the appropriations made for city carriers for the current year are proving insufficient in view of the tremendo increase over pre- vious years, in the volume of mail. Of course this could not be for seen. The estimates submitted and the appropriations made were Upon|a larger proportion than grain, live) the basis of past business.

If every time an act of public economy inconveniences some busi- {ness man or some locality or some section there is going to be an out- cry and an organized effort to have that particular practice abandoned; f every interest and every com- +munity wants to be ‘made an ex- general rule of public economy effected un- der any system. | Budget Jaws are not automatic 23fin their operation any more than any other law. The human equa- tion is the largest factor in the operation of any system—however perfect in theory it may be. Pub- lic opinion is far more necessary to . the enforcement of laws than it is to their enactment. The success of the budget law, after all. does not depend upon the public officials charged with its ad- ministration Its success depends standing be- hind it If the government is to attain and maintain a balanced budget—lower taxes, elimination of waste and extravayance—it will be due wholly to public opinion back- ing up government departments and public officials which an- nounce their determination to ob- serve hoth the spirit and letter of the budget law—even though some bortion of the public may thereby ‘be inconvenienced. THE BUILDING SITUATION. The money value of building and ig industry of the country. The value of ni contracts awarded since Januai |1923, was larger than January of jeither of the two preceding years: land predictions are freely made that the volume of building in 1923 on a valuation basis will ex- ceed even the high record of 1922. | Whether or not these expectations will be realized depends on building costs, They are already high and the prices of building materials and wages are rising. Under these con- ditions, there is always the possi- bility that as a result of high costs, those who are using their own funds will prefer to delay building and that construction dependent upon borrowed money will be hampered by the unwillingness of leaders to accept current levels as a proper basis for long-term loans with the conequent restriction of such loans to as low a percentage of construc- tion costs as will make it difficult ,for owners to finance their under- ; takings. | The building labor situation is |similar to that of building materials. | There is a shortage of labor, both skilled and unskliled. This is the combined result of the competition of industry and the restriction of The resultant short- age of skilled labor, combined with effective organization, has made for monopoly wages. While wage scales in the building trades have been cut in most cities, wages paid have ben determined by the laws of supply and demand and they are now probably as high as they were at the peak of prices in 1920. With stable prices and reasonable wages, a true shortage of building materials and of building labor would be almost certain, but rising prices and wages will operate to prevent the development of this condition. As building costs mount, they will reach a point at which builders of small means cannot meet them. Last year building construc- tion took 15 per cent of the steel produced in this country, being second in its requirements only to the railroads. The manufacture of cement is the fourth industry in the consumption of coal. During 1922 forest products made up 7 per cent. of total freight car loadings, There are two and a stock or ore.

This would be a violation of the law. It would also be a violation of the spirit of the budget system. There- fore, from now until the appropria- tions for the fiscal year beginning July 1, next become available, the de’ tment will handle the mail| ries in cities as promptly as ible with the carrier force that y be lable, to obey the law and also to ob- e strictly the principles of the budget will serve as a test of the sincerity of the demand of the pub- lic and particularly of the business interests in the larger cities for rigid economy in the management of the government. Inconsistent attitudes are bein; manifested by some individuals an interests in some of the cities which will be affected by the decision of the de tments Individuals and interests which were red hot for reduction of federal taxes and clam- orous their insistence that all expenses of the federal government be cut to the bone, now that the pr of sane economy results in sl inconvenience to ng like a pig un ouncing the parsi- of bu ment iness methods form, those in 8 are exhibit They t run wholly to e them.

It is unlikely that the modest, unpreten- tious man can bring much political pressure, for though a_ persistent party worker from Northhampton days when he frankly asked ci national command does not go wit this type. If he is given the second place again it will be because “the old ticket” will make an easily remem- bered slogan and call for few ex- planations. Doubtless many voted in 1920 for the hero of the police strike as they would again in 1924) with the thought that if President |Harding should fail under the bur- den, Mr. Coolidge would be a safe successor and bring a quality of which there is a dearth among can- didates—firmness. The vice presi- dent has made an excellent presiding officer of the senate, excelling in the art of keeping himself in the background, which is not a barn- storming quality but does favorably impress the on-lookers, in this case the whole American people. The only other thing a vice presidnt can do is to mak speeches and this the man does admirably for those who sense to sound and fury, The s that resent his famous ac- n Boston will do what they can do to sidetrack the vice president| but at present writing he appears to be a party asset of high marketabil- ity. to vote for him for local offices.

Caspet Daily Cribune —By Fontaine Fox EDA F SS | To Enlarge Camp Grounds | SHERIDAN—Recommendations for jenlarging the Sheridan camping grounds to accommodate the increased number of tourists who will partake of Sheridan’s hospitality this year, suggested at the meeting of the board of directors of the Sheridan Commer c'al club, have been submitted to Harry R. Palmer, chairman of the tturist camp committee of the club for investigation. With the additional space acquired last year, the camping grounds can now comfortably care for from 65 to 70 cars. | Upon his return from a two months’ tour of the east in the interest of the C. B. Hiway, Secretary Fisher pre dicted that July 20 of this year will find tourists camped in the streets around the park unless the camp ground {s materlaly enlarged. > Spring Road Dragging SHERIDAN. — Dragging of roads north of Sheridan 1s practically com- pleted, and the roads are in fair con dition according to a statement issued this morning from the state high: way office. The best stretch of this road is between Sheridan and Ranchester. Roads to the south are still ex ceedingly heavy. The mud ts now getting stiff and dragging will be impossible for several days yet. The heavy snowstorms did not ex- tend far south and the Buffalo-Kaycee road is in very good condition. Captured Eleven Stills CODY.—Chas. Davis trembles and the stills walk right up and shake hands with him. In the eleven weeks he has been employed by the federal department in the Big Horn basin, since his term expired as sheriff of Park county, he has taken eleven {lictt equipments for the manufac: ture of moonshine, averaging one a week. His record {s an unusual one and from the standpoint of those who favor law enforcement is successful. ——_ Receive Diplomas LARAMIE—Three vocational stu- | dents at the university have received certificates signifying completion of short courses in the vocational depart- ment of the universiay. All three will settle in Wyoming and use the train- ing received here. They are Freder- ick P. Brown and Charles Mitchell of this state and Herman P. Woods of Craig, Colo.
