ST] 4.00 2.25 CASPER TRIBUNE'S a PROGRAM rrigation project west of Casper to be‘authorized and completed at once. ‘A complete and scientific zoning ystem for the city of Casper. A comprehensive municips! and school recreation park system, in- cluding swimming pools for the children of Casper. Completion of the established Scenic Route boulevard as planned by the county commissioners to Garden Creek Falls and return. Better roads for Natrona county and more highways for Wyoming. More equitable freight rates for shippers of the Rocky Mountain region and more frequent train service for Casper. THE IMPATIENT FILIPINOS Most of the United States will agree with Governor-General Wood of the Philippines as to the resigna- tion of the Cabinet, the President/ of the Senate and the President of the House of Representatives. It is a deplorable incident. Probably the general tendency will be to sympathize with the Titi- pinos. It would be well, however, to look at all the facts bearing on the situation. In the first place General Wood is not a _ pleader against Philippine independence. He merely believes in the words of the Wood-Forbes report, that the “present general status” of the is- lands should be preserved until the people “have time to absorb and thoroughly master the power in their hands.” In the light of the newness of Philippine education and government, of the recent misman- agement of the Philippine National Bank with its loss or tieup of $65,- 000.00, and of the general and nat- ural weakness of Philippine courts and budget making, this conclusion may represent the common sense of the situation. Nor do the actions of General Wood in accordance with it seem to have constituted a viola- tion of the “sacred pledge of the people and the Government of the United States to guarantee the Fil- ipino people the exercise of self- government pending the recogni- tion of independence.” The truth probably is, as ths State Department seems to believe that Quezon and his associates rep- resent one of two parties in the Philippines that must be listened to with caution. One is an American resident party, which for commer- cial reasons wouid like to hear the talk of independence die. The oth- er is the Nationalist party which would like to have independence im- mediately. Sone one must judge between the two. Judgment cannot be for the former, but on the basis of reason and statistics it cannot be unqualifiedly for the latter. General Wood may have his limita- tions, but his record would seem td indicate that if the United States has shown capacity to deal with| ly all first crimes are committed be- problems like the Philippine prob-|fore the age of eighteen. lem, she can depend on his sanity in|in childhood and destruction of all carrying out what in the end will be the sanest policy. And for the capacity of Ameri- cans in such cases a convincing ar- gument can be de. We have done foolish and wicked things (as in Haiti and even in Porto Rico.) | But we have done these where pub. lic interest has been slight and our public servants inferior ger_ work in new Our big or strange lands a|do as they did is a testimonial to has been effective. Wood himself| served Cuba ably. The develop- ment of Alaska has been somewhat | sluggish, but it has been sound. In Samoa the contrast between Amer- | ican rule and German and British rule has been to our credit. In Hawaii we have created a develop-| ing and busy territory. Stupidities| and omissions being fully acknow- ledged, the lands we have touched are today living and thriving lands. | More important, their native popu-! lations are speaking freely and par-| ticipating largely in the government. That Quezon and his fellows could the type of work General Wood represents. In America the temporary devo- lution of government upon the Gov- ernor-General can accordingly be viewed with more regret than anx- iety. The American policy cannot fully suit the extreme Filippine Nationalists. General Wood is prob-| |ably dealing with an impatience which will have to be curbed for some years to come if the interests of both Filipinos and Americans are to be properly protected. { RESURGENCE OF THE RAILWAYS American railways are coming back at last. When they announc- ed some time ago their intention to spend a billion this year for recon- ditioning, unfriendly critics did not |applaud and those that know how} |the general welfars depends on competent transportation were not sanguine. Bad usage and scrimp- ing had wreaked havoc not easily mended. How far the efforts at reparation have gone we do not know. They are making progre: An inkling comes from the latest American | Railway Association report on freight cars. Loadings made a new record for the week ended June 30} with 1,021,770 cars, Yet in the! same period surplus cars in good condition amounted to 63,636, an increase for the week of 4,965. That this gain was not due to | fluctuations in the freight move- | ment is proved by the fact that in ;no week of June did the number of | |loaded cars fall below a million. | And in the whole month the idle |cars were up 81,193. | To appreciate how radical is the ‘improvement, glance at the condi- |tions less than three years ago. |Prior to the banner week a fort- “night back the week of October 14, '1920, saw the peak with 1,108,589 \loaded cars. But then the roads needed 69,517 cars more than they had—a difference between short- age and surplus of 133,153 cars. Of coursé this extraordinary change isn’t all due to new cars. The old ones must be in better con- dition and efficiency back to nor- mal. Turning for evidence on this point to the Bureau of Economics’ latest report, we find a good rise in the net ton miles—tons of freight times miles carried—5.7 per cent, for this May over May 1917 when everything was pulling. The gain for the year was 41.7 per cent, at- tributable in large measure to the | coal strike of 1922. But in the, only slightly affected Southern and | Western districts the net ton miles last year were 24 and 28 per cent, respectively below this year’s. At this rate under propitious con- ditions American railways would soon emerge completely from the slough of despond into which they were plunged by government opera- tion and strangling regulation. | JAILS COST MORE THAN | SCHOOLS | The United States spends more annual to maintain jails, bring criminals to trial and punish them than it costs to maintain the coun- try’s entire educational, system. This was the startiing assertion of Prof. A. N. Farmer, noted edu- cator in an address at Chicago in which he discussed social problems and outlined plans for the children’s jhome which the Brotherood of | American Yeomen will establish, “There are 3,500 jails in the United States today,” said Prof, Farmer, who based his statement on government figures, “and more than $1,000,000,000 is used up im {maintaining them, housing prison- ers, preparing cases against them and meting out punishment. Jails |support thousands of able-bodied men and women in complete idle- The worst elements of the ness. rimina! world are mixed with raw ‘first offenders’ who might other- wise be salvaged for some useful | purpose in life. The result is a steady stream of dangerous human- ity. “Seventy-one per cent of the men incarcerated in jails are under twenty-one years of age. Practical- Neglect moral sense through gvil enyiron-} ment are responsible for most of the | crime.” Mr. Farmer declared that the | Yeomen home will care for under- | privileged orphan children who if eft to shift for themselves might be potential criminals.

The Municipal band played a num- ber of selections upon arrival at the camp grounds and speeches were made by Mayor Parker and Attorney Rush L. DeNise, president of the Lions club, emphasizing the fact that there was yet much work to be done to make the park a comfortable and rary visitors, and that this start will! finally terminate by the community | having a tourist park that {t will be proud of. Following the dedication Mrs. Matt Medill served the Lions and the band with refreshments that came as an agreeable and appreciated surprise. Fireman Killed RAWLINS, Wyo., July 26.—Fire- man Owen Jose, age 27 and well known in this vicinity, met death early last week when he either acci- dently fell or voluntarily jumped from the deck of his engine when west of Bitter Creek began to give, away. The body of the unfortunate| man ‘was uncovered from a wreckage) of fruit cars, The deceased, as far as can be learned at the present time, has « brother in Chill, South America, and members of the local order of fire- men and enginemen have wired the| brother and are making other at-| tempts to get in communication with surviving relatives. The wreck which resulted in’ the death of Owen Jose occurred as the result /of a washout west of Bitter Creek and completely demolished six cars loaded with fruit from the Pa- cific coast.

Perfects New Loader ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., July 26.— An invention that bids fair to revo- lutionize the loading of coal from mine tipple to box car has just been Patented by Glen Knox, superintend- ent of the Gunn-Quealey Coal com- pany, of Gunn and Sweetwater. The manufacturing right of the machine has just been taken over by Lindrooth, Shubart & Co., the largest manufacturers of conveying and ele- vating’ mine machinery in the coun: try. The new invention is known as the Knox-type loading boom, and for some time past one of the hines has been in active service at Sweet- water, two at Gunn, two in the Utah coal flelds, one in northern Wyoming and several more have been sold and installed in the prominent eastern coal fields, where they are giving en- tire satisfaction. The Knox-type loading boom will increase the tonnage-capacity of cars from 15 to 20 per cent, filling in prac- tically every cuble inch of the car. delivering the coal with little or no breakage. The importance of this is at once recognized during the rush of fqll and winter business, and in a manner solves the car shortage. The Knox boom combines the func- tions of a, to use a coined word, de- elevator for boXcar coal, with those of e picking table-loading boom for open cars. The boom con: 36-Inch wide steel pan conveyor ‘| mounted on a structural member sup- ported on one end by a concrete (or other material) post to which it fs fastened so as to permit swinging horizontally as well as vertically; be- sides one end having the usual up- and-down motion, it also moves side- wise on the arc of a circle. The loose end is carried by a three-ton plain trolley. hoist, running on an I-beam spanning the track. A goose-neck permits the boom going over the sides and reaching practically to the bottom of gondolas. This is the load- ing boom function. The picking is accomplished on the wooden platform which accommodates one or two pick- ers. To load boxes, the boom is swung parallel to the cars and the coal is discharged into a right-angle chute which leads to the boxcar loader. The result is the coal reaches its destination with a minimum of un- controlled, gravity-chaperoned travel, and the de-gradation is therefore lowered to an irreducibly small amount. Killed On Track ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., July 26.— Ralph Hahnenberg, a young man 21 on the railroad track at Thayer Junc- years of age, was accidentally killed tion.

LARAMIE, Wyo., July 26.—Four hundred employes in the Union Pa- cific shops at this city benefit by the increase of two cents per hour in wages, granted by the railroad at the Union Pacific Shopcrafts association convention which just closed in Salt Lake City. The payroll of the local shopmen was thus increased by approximately $2,000 or $4.80 ‘per man each month.
