Of course, murder is never justified, but there is considerable consola- tion in the thought that Vorovsky was an unofficial member of the Soviet delegation to the Lausanne conference—a delegation, by the Dae that was not wanted very bad ow when the Powers Vorovsky invited himself to Lau ganne. He was about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. The Swiss asked him to leave. And he was finally shot by a Swiss whose story is that he had a father and uncle done to death by the Bolshe- viki, That story is probably true. Many have been done to death by the Bolsheviki. Now, of course, the Red dele- gation at Lausanne blame the Swiss government for the murder of this uninivited guest. They claim he was not given proper police protec- tion. Why should he have had po- lice protection? He was not a dele- gate, and the Swiss government is not responsible for protecting every itinerant Russian Red who hap- pene to think he had better horn in at a conference. The Soviets will have a hard time convincing the world at at large that Switzerland was a “tneit accomplice” in the tak- ing off of Vorovsky. The best thing Russia can do at present is to stay at home, continue murdering along tho good old- fashioned Soviet lines, and leave peace conferences alone, A Soviet delegaton at a peace conference is something af an anomoly anyway. A GOOD MEMORIAL With most of the frenized world fairly wel) filled with jeauousy, spleen, hate and distrust, it is good to see in French dispatches that General Mangin has announced to Ambassador Herrick that “a big| sum has ben raised by suscription| of the French people for a monu- ment to the American volunteers who joined the French army before America entered the war. France, whatever may be said against her, has a fine spirit. She| remembers with gratitude what is | this. hope when hope was most needed.

THE HOMES OF CAS A reader writes in and as! we have a “lot to say” abo ing up the outside of the homd ticularly the small homes o: per. The Tribune has had con: able to say about this mattei) one time and another, but the more left, perhaps, to be said. tainly there is more to be done. The letter says in part: “The many little places that so often seem to those who look at them makeshift homes of those in- different to their surroundings, when in reality they may be hous- ing people who are so glad and j thankful to have got thus for on 'home-owning, would take on an- other appearance with flolwers and vines about them. Those beauti- ful things speak so of real home | loving, and would make the small homes, however humble in size, speak vividly ‘of what Casper is | meaning to them.” { “A dear old man near whom I grew up said he always rejoiced when he saw well-kept flowers and |house plants about a home, for he | knew there was something fine about the people who lived there. That's the way I want visitors to| Casper to feel.” Nothing could be more true than Nature must be given a strong helping hand in a country like ours before she will do much in the way of beautifying vegeta- tion. But if sufficiently aided, she will do considerable. It is no great credit to own @ house in Southern California where vines, flowers and lawns will grow by throwing a stray seed in the general direction of the ground. But it is a great credit to have such a place in Cas- per; and it means much to the beauty of the town to say nothing of the impression it gives outsiders. There are ‘hundreds of litle “makeshift,” home in Casper which would be wonderfully changed with vines, lawns and trees around them. To parody Felicia Heman’s verse one might say of many Cosper on “The Stately Home of England,” abodes: “The stately homes of Casper, How hideous they stand. Without a tree or blade of grass | In all the gumbo land.” —~ It does not take much money to trim up the taudriest house with vines and flowers, to put in a lawn, to plant trees. It takes chiefly the labor, and the patience to water and cultivate them, and whatver money is required is chiefly well spent. ‘This reader has the right idea, If everybody had his viewpoint, Cas- per would be the most beautiful city in this part of the country, as well as the largest. She can be made particularly beautiful with the naturall advantage of her lo- cation at the foot of the moun- tains, } pe A VICE PRESIDENT SPEAKS Despite the fact that Calvin, Colidge is only 2 vice-president of the United States, and as such is! apt to be forgotten by the country) at large, he has something to say which is well said and interesting. A clipping from and eastern paper quotes him as follows: “Right thinking people want the results of prosperity, education and loyalty to the Government. The question which is always before us is how these results are to be se- cured, It is very evident that pal- liatives fail, The hope of rewards, the fear of punishments, do not go very far. , “There is very little that is really worth while which can be bought or sold. The desire for gain has! made many cowards, but has never made a hero. The country cannot be run on the promise of what it done for her, even’ though she may have a memory entirely too long| when it comes to what is done| against her.

M. Mosley, alias James Mar- tin, 18, held for grand larceny, cut his way through the wall of his cell on the south side, crawled through a window in the corridor and de- parted for parts unknown. His en- cape was first discovered at 2 o'clock Sunday morning when Patrolman Guy Webb, returning to the station from patrolling the alleys, noticed that the corridor window was raised. The investigation which followed Gisclosed a 14 by 9% inch hole in the wall of his cell. The theory of the police is that Mosley was slipped a case knife from a friend on the outside through the bars of his cell window. All nearby towns have been notified to be on the lookout for the man, Mosley is described as being 5 fect 8 inches weight 145 pounds, dark hair and eyes. When he left, he was wearing a dark blue-green suit with cap to match, striped shirt, and tan shoes and socks. Mosley was apprehended Thursday in response to a wire to hold him for Portland, Oregon, authorities. United States Marshal Wils Ridgway was expecting to leave today with the prisoner for Portland. Nine years ago while the present) county jail was being constructed, five prisoners, four of whom wero| county charges, escaped from the “bull pen” in the north side of the jail, breaking a hole through the brick wall with a leg of one of the fron cots. They made thelr escape through the coal and bofler room to the Jower hall and went out through the back door of the building. The men at that time were in charge of Deputy Sheriff Clyde Ragan, who 1s now serving as city patrolman. ‘Three of the men--two of whom were charged with horse stealing end the other with arson—were appre- hended and were tonvicted and sent to the state penitentiary. The other two, charged with drunkenness and horse stealing, made good their es: 9 and were never apprehended, ecb ane tse Bryan Wins Meet | MANDERSON, Wyo.

Freight Rates and Valuation Wide Marre has been given to the statement that the value of all the railroads of the United States does not exceed $12,000,000,000, and that if such valuation had been used during the past three years in making rates, all freight rates, includ- ing those on farm ducts, would have been materially reduced, That statement disregards the railroads’ right under the Federal and Stete Con- stitutions to earn a fair return on the value of their property, and denies the validity of the valuation made by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It also disregards the fact that the railroads during the 34 months prior to January 1, 1923, did not earn 4 percent on $12,000,00,0000, although authorized to earn 6 ‘ percent on $18,900,000,000. If, however, a valuation of $12,000,000,000 had been made the basis for rates in- stead of the valuation found by the Commerce Commission and the reduction had only applied to freight rates, that reduction could not have exceeded 2.1 percent of the rate collected in 1922. This conclusion is emphasized by the following facts: GROSS FREIGHT REVENUES OF ALL CARRIERS FOR YEAR 1922 ....6500ccwsecscmmssnccresers + -$4,007,014,655 $ NET INCOME OF ALL CARRIERS FOR YEAR 192: ts-+-- 776,665,960 5% PERCENT RETURN ON ASSUMED VALUATION 0} $12,000,000,000.......--.+-..4.+----. +s an--++----+++ 690,000,000 EXCESS OF NET INCOME OVER THE RETURN ON THE ASSUMED VALUATION, .__......----..+----+++----++ 86,665,960 A deduction of this excess of $86,665,960 from the total gross Seeight Tevenues of $4,007,014,655 would have reduced the gross freight advances only 2.1 precent. If this reduction of 2.1 percent had been applied to freight rates, with no reduction in passenger fares or other c! it would not, tn fact, have increased the amomunt received by the farmer for his products, GRAIN A reduction of 2.1 percent in freight rates means nothing to the individual shipper unless expressed in units with which he is familiar and be la: enought to be recognized in_commercicial dealings. During the year 1922 the Chicago North- Western Ry. Company’s average haul and rates on grain were as follows: Ave Rates Reduction per Ave: Haul r Bushel Bushel Wheat 197 Miles 7.14 Cents 1.5 Mills = Corn 256 Miles 7.25 Cents 1.5 Mills Oats 210 Miles 3.29 Cents 0.7 Mills A reduction of 2.1 percent in this company’s freight rates would, therefore, have reduced its wheat rates 1%. mills, its corn rates 1% mills, and its oats rates 7-10 of ep te eae that grain d not in price at try stations by | erience OWS joes vary at coun! si y less than one-half cent per bushel and ordinarily by not less than one cent per bushel. As a result, the assumed reduction in rates on corn and wheat of less than one-sixth of a cent per bushel would not have resulted in the increase of a single cent to the producer of grain. LIVE STOCK Rates Reduction Reduction per Av Haul per Cwt. of 2.1 percent Animal, Cents Cattle 240 Miles 23 Cents 4.9 Mills 4.9 Hogs 210 Miles 24 Cents 5.0 Mills 1.0 Sheep 352 Miles 26 Cents 5.4 Mills 0.5 A reduction of 2.1 percent would have reduced the rates on cattle less than five cents, on hogs one cent, and on sheep one-half a cent per animal, assuming cattle weigh 1,000, hogs 200 and sheep 90 pounds, Such reductions mean little or notl ne to the average producer of farm products, but a loss to the railroads of over $86,000,000, cl AAA RA ATTENTION We wish to announce to the public that a mistake was made in yester- day’s paper regarding the date of the opening of the sale at SCOTT’S CLOTHING STORE.
