EVERYBODY TAXING EVERYBODY ELSE I takes tribute from anthracite, wherever T Supreme Court ennsylvani of upheld th innesota law hich taxes the iron ore, nearly all of whic outside the state to be transformed into steel. At- tention been directed to the fact that th xample set by the tes is likely to be followed by. others. Handing the taxes over the state line bids fair to become a popular proceeding. We have had a recent agitation in this mat- ter in Wyoming. Vermont contemplates joining two been a sufficient supply they are experiencmg for the first time a situation that causes alarm, as large members of men who have al- ways worked on the farm are mi- grating to the larger cities in the country, securjng immediate em- | ployment in the various industries {which are having considerable | trouble to find sufficient labor to} pee their . demands. Indicative of the country’s sound industrial condition is the fact that a large percentage of the public employ- ment offices report that it will soon be imposible to meet the growing demand for certain classes of la- bor. Interesting features of the April) survey are the increased activity in the metal and mining industry; in. the lumbering section of the country, mills are being operated on a less than capacity basis be- cause of the inability to secure suf- ficient workers; and in the build- ing and construction lines the scarcity of this class of labor is effecting progress. Vehicles tfor land transportation show the largest increase for numbers employed, with every indication of a continu- ing increase in demands for this class of labor. Conditions effect- ing employment in the steel and iron industry continues to improve, and in some of the larger centers shortages of certaim classes of this labor are evident. Increased employment for the month of April over March is noted in the following industries; Liquor and beverages, 6.1 percent, lumber and its manufacture, 3.4 percent; vehicles for land transportation 3.24 percent; paper and printing, 1.28 percent; chemicals and allied pro- ducts, 99 percent; and stone clay and glas products, .9 percent while a small decline in the number of those employed in: leather and its finished products; food and kin- dred products, and metal and metal products other than iron and steel, was found to be the case. FOREST EXHAUSTION BRINGS HIGH PRICES Lumber production in the United States has been steadily decreas- ing for 13 years, and this in the ace of a need unparalleled in the history of the country. Accord- ing to a bulletin just published by the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, of 37 eastern and southern lumber producing states, 36 showed a decreased cut and on’y one of a slight increase in 1920; while Pa- cific Slope states all report substan tial increases, showing that the center of production is shifting to the western states, the last of our softwood reserves, Thirty years ago after the deple- tion of New York and Pennsylvania white pine sections, the American the procession. Effort was made during the session of the legisla- ture this year to impose an export tax on hydro-electric energy. The Burlington Free Press makes the prediction that by the time the legis- lature meets again public sentiment will have been s0 aroused that the law will be passed. Question arises as to whether a tax applied only to the power sent over the border would be constitutional, but the de- cisions in the Pennsylvania and Minnesota cases might be held to indicate that a tax upon all the hy- dro-electric power produced within the states would pass the test, and much of the tax would be paid by outsiders. It is a merry chase for revenue to provide for the constantly mount- ing cost of government. It is a process that may cause uneasiness in states which appear to have nothing that can be made taxable in other states, but who knows whet hitherto unsuspected sources of such revenue may be discovered after search is made? Who can deny that the time is coming when through the operation of such state taxes everybody will be taxing everybody else? Se EAN, FARM LABOR SHORTAGE A FACT The United States Department of Labor through its employment serv- ice submits the following analysis of industrial employment conditions of the country for the month ended April 30. This analysis is based on information gathered eaca month by the department's special agents sixty-five by in industrial centers transmitted telegraph. Com- prising this a s there are in all 1,462 firms employing each 500 or more workers. A digest of the reports received by the United States Employment service inc tes that there is very little unemployment in any section| of the United States Increased demands for a¥ classes of skilled labor, skilled mechanics and farm hands are found to be the case durir The : the month of April. predicted short petent farm fact, already or is y tions of the coun- a = n many se = try the farming interests are being & very seriously hampered by the in ability to secure labor for farm * work ® where he t crews lumber market was drawing its sup- ply from the Great Lakes states. When the source in those sections became exhausted and the forests no longer able to supply the damond or furnish enough to keep the mills in operation, the industry moved to the southern yellow-pine region, and is rapidly duplicating the same procedure there. The inevitable re- sult follows that within the near fu- ture we shall be wholly dependent upon this reserve of all-purpose softwoods, the Pacific slope. Not only is the remaining domestic source of softwoods, but a recent survey of the world’s supply of this commodity discloses the fact that there are no foriegn forests of this character that we may draw upon when our own are exhausted. These figures and facts suggest several questions ‘that ‘touch the welfare of every individual in our growing population. What will be the effect when our timber is gone? What will be the several stages of adjustment? What steps should be taken to meet the national needs? What is being done in this respect? The average rate of decrease over the last 13 years has been about 2 percent per year. The figures for 1920 are about 27 per- cent lower than the high produc- tion peak that was reached in 1907, when we produced about 46 billion feet. We have passed the high point and the present tendency downward is permanent. Since this is the case there must be some ac- tive steps taken to insure perma- nent local sources of timber for the future. The butletin just published dis- cusses this problem with great clearness and sets forth figures based on facts. The material pre- sented in this bulletin is of su- preme importance in rendering the attitude that shall be* taken to- ward our remaining timber re- sources. This attitude must be the reflection of public opinion. For this reason the bulletin is avail-| able for general distribution, that) the public may have the opportunity of familiarizing themselves with the developments of the past dec- and may understand the vital mportance of timber as an adjunct| to continued prosper | ——— a Fair View fire Addition has city telephone water, | etric 1 sht LIVE NEWS from WYOMING Items and Articles About Men and Events Throughout the State | Name Douglas Treasurer DOUGLAS, May —19.H.

The plan of the organizers called for a membership of 100 with a mem- bership fee of $200 each. At the end ot three days’ drive 62 members had been signed up so at a special meet- ing of the committee held last night it was decided to discontinue the drive as the membership limit wouid undoubtedly be reached with in a few days without soliciting further. Membership in the Rawlin Coun try club is proprietory and any mem- ber who decides to move away from the city or who desires to surrender his membership for any reason will be able to dispose of it to any person on the waiting list of the club.

Well, Reader, nobody can say I do not pick up things quickly, as the Susseptable Baby Observes when he catches the pretty girl’s eye. I read this story over very carefull, and the next day when I get a peace to write for the paper about a funeral I begin it by saying that a sad, despondent Autumn ‘Wind sighed through the bare branches yesterday as the earthly remains of Bia Ballott, the Italian Political Leader, were laid away—Ete. It is a very good yarn I write, I figures, and I guess the City Editor agrees: with me, be cause he does not say anything; and any time he does not say anything you are On Velvet. It {@ not long after this I get an- other Stiff story, as we newspaper- men has {t; and I do not forget what I learn. It 1s very valuable to haye a good memory in this game, believe me; and I have one which would make the Prof. of a Memory Course, or Mao Kaulay, the baby which cov- ered Horatio's “ridge Stunt, look like they was absent-minded! So I slap a nifty Ittle Sob Lead on the yarn, saying that the sad Autumn Wind sighed through the bare branches yesterday as the earthly remains of this Baby (I forget who now) are laid away. It is a corking yarn, Reader! Well, the next day I am off and do not have to work, but the day after I come down to the offace and thé first thing I get 1s a yarn about a Corpse which is found near Car. nassie, Well, Reader, as I am tell- ing you, you do not haye to teach me anything but once! I am very quick to learn, and what between my Presents of Mind and Persistance I will get somewheres some day. So I write a little plece which begins: “A sad, despondent Autumn Wind sighed through the bare branches yesterday as the earthly remains of a Unidentified Man was washed up on the beach near Carnassie.” Well, I turn it in and figuring I have done a good dazo work I take it on the Lam right out of there and do not come back till morning. When I get in next day, Reader, 1 give you my word, the City Editor is around acting like a Belt had slipped in his Belfry! Ho {s hollering about and sees me and says Come Mave!
