His Simple Inauguration When Calvin Coolidge raised his right hand and ok oath before his aged father in the livingroom ofthe Vermont farm house, to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America, with the Coolidge family bible as the surety of his sincerity of purpose it was the simplest inaugural of any of our thirty presidents, since the found- ing of the government. The lack of ceremony, of bénds, of army and navy of admiring countrymen, afid outward show and pomp, detracted nothing from the legality of the proceeding. It was in thorough keeping with Coolidge tradi- tions and therefore American traditions. Because the Coolidge family has helped make American traditions. In every way the inaugural was typical of just what Calvin Coolidge desired. It conformed to his idea of assuming the presidency. Of a sacred trust over a hundred and twenty millions of people. His promise to uphold and defend his country’s laws had been given on other occasions; and how well he had kept it is history, and proud history too. The simple oath taken by Calvin Coolidge, that placed upon his shoulders the responsibility of the greatest power the world knows, was taken with tHe full knowledge of what it involves. More—with the full determination to fulfill it to the letter. The founders of the constitutian, themselves plain and simple Americans of the Coolidge type, looked down with approval upon the manner in which Calvin Coolidge assumed his presidential duties. His Institute of Politics * The third annual seasion of the Institute of Pol- itics is now being held at Williamstown, Mase. Noted men and interested parties from all over the world will address the different sessions, de livering lectures on various subjecta connected with world politics. It is not with any idea of minimising the tmport- ance of the discussions, but there is one thing in connection with the institute that excites wonder concerning the end sought. Is it an adjunct of the league of nations, the sessions being planned to in- fluence the people of this country to enter the league? The thing which causes the suspicion is the fact that the Institute is financed by Bernard M. Baruch, international banker and active advocate of the league. Authority for such a statement is found in the New York World’s account of the re- cent opening of the Institute which said: *Bernard M. Baruch of this city will defray the expense of the institute’s session again this year, thus completing the promise of his original guar- lanty.” This is the same Bernard M. Baruch who, we lare informed, financed the visit to this country jof-Georges Clemenceau, former premier of France, ‘which visit was made in the interests of the league f*nations. One cannot help wondering if the pur jpose of the Institute of Politics is not similar to hat of the “Tiger of France.” It is a remarkable hing that so many international bankers are so interested in the league of nations. Perhaps that fis one reason why the great majority of the voters Tre against it. Our Foreign Trade The United States closed the fiscal year 1923 with imports totaling $3,781,000,000 and exports $3,957,000,000, a favorable balance of 176,000,000 The adverse balances of March, April and May vere resolved into a balance slightly in our favor in June. With the restoration of fairly normal conditions n our foreign trade it becomes pertinent to com- pare it with pre-war figures and the comparison is rendered more apt by the fact.that during the fis- ral year 1914, the Democratic tariff law had been n force. for nine months, while in 1923 the Re yublican tariff had been in operation for an equal ength of time, Considering exports first, we find that crude terials for use in manufacturing increased from 6793,000,000 in 1914 to $1,108,000,000 in 1923; crude ‘oodstuffs and food animals from $137,000,000 to 4,000,000; prepared foodstuffs from $293,000,000 585,000,000; me factures for from further use in manufacturing 5,000,000 to $487,000,000; manufactures ready for consumption from $725,- 000,000 to $1,896,000,000; miscellaneous and foreign exports from $42,000,000 to $77,000,000. The import groups show the following increases: Crude materials $634,000,000 to $1,476,000,000; crude foodstuffs. from $248,000,000 to $352,000,000; pre- pared foods from $227,000,000 to $507,000,000; part- ly manufactured goods from $320,000,000 to $711,- 000,000; manufactures ready for consumption at 448,000,000 to $717,000,000; miscellaneous §$17,000,- 000 to $18,000,000. Exports for 1914 totaled $2,365,000,000; imports $1,894,000,000, Assuming a population increase of 15 per cent, 1914 to 1928, exports increased 67 per cent and imports nearly 100 per cent under a pro tective tariff law. This is certainly proof positive that the tariff is not prohibitive and under it our foreign trade increased 82 per cent. The incentive to manufacture given by the tariff law is indicated by the fact that imports of the two groups, crude and partly manufactured arti- cles, increased from $954,000,000 in 1914 to $2,187, 000,000 in 1923. And the 60 per cent increase in im- ports of manufactured goods indicates what a fair share of the American market was accorded foreign factories. Considering the trade on the basis of precentages by groups, we find that imports of crude materials 1914 to 1923, increased 133 per cent, exports 28 per cent; partly manufactured goods, imports 122, ex- ports 30 per cent. Imports of these two groups show large increases-relating to exports, both transac- tions indicating that the value added to the prod- ucts by American labor was steadily increasing. Combining the two foodstuffs groups, imports in- creased 81 per cent while exports increased 128 per cent— a very satisfactory showing in the face of many difficulties. A recent compilation shows that the export of eleven meat products increased from an aggregate of 1,028,000,000 pounds worth $124,- 000,000 to 1,905,000,000 pounds worth $259,000,000; and five grains from 112,500,000 bushels worth $101,500,000 to 337,000,000 bushels worth $337,000,000 while rice exports increased 18-fold, condensed milk 10-fold and flour 26 per cent by the volume. Imports of manufactures show an increase of 60 per cent, exports an increase of 92 per cent, 1923 over 1914. Exports increased from $35,000,000 to! $70,000,000 or 100 per cent. In the face of these figures any suggestion that the tariff is a handicap is absurd. Must Correct Own Faults | “The farmers of Minnesota and North Dakota have found by experience that legislative nostrums of the agrarian bloc, such as easy farm credits, restriction of the grain exchanges, representation on the federal reserve board, and a high tariff on agricultural products do not correct economic ills or personal deficiencies,” notes the Chicago Trib- une. “The one crop wheat growers of these states are still hard up. As is common with human beings, they fail to look within themselves for causes, and} means of correction, but attribute their troubles entirely to outside causes. Thus they decide that the low price of wheat is the cause rather than the condition of their misfortunes, and with the as- sistance of their political demagogues they are cry: ing loudly for a government guaranty of wheat prices. That means a government subsidy of the wheat growers. “What would a government subsidy of wheat mean? The farmers of this country generally agree that theirs is the basic industry of the nation. De- stroy every city, and the wealth production and necessities of the farms would build them up again. Destroy the farms and the cities would fall in ruins. For the government to guarantee wheat prices or to subsidize wheat growing, therefore, would be to tax minor and weaker industries for the benefit of stronger and more fundamental in. dustry. Eventually it would mean ruin. It is no way out of the wheat farmers’ troubles. It is a way to extend .those troubles to all other industry. “The way out is not through legislation but through common sense. Wheat prices are low be- cause the world’s supply of wheat exceeds the de mand, or at least dxceeds the ability of the world to buy. When production drops off to balance de- mand, prices will be stabilized at a higher level. If higher prices are guaranteed, regardless of sup- ply, there will be an incentive to raise even more wheat than the present excess supply, instead of less. That would be ruinous, The farmers who want it want the government, financed by taxpay- ers, to protect them against flood, drought, lazi- ness, grasshoppers, and the consequences of their own folly. What they most need is more diversified farming, giving them some crops they can sell and conserving and improving their land until wheat growing again becomes profitable through reduced supply and increased demand. “The wheat farmers’ position at present is un. deniably bad. It is also sad. But many other farm- ers are getting their feet under them and working back toward prosperity. The wheat farmers can reach the same goal more quickly and with less danger and disturbance to the whole economic and industrial organization of the country if they will take their lessons from observation of diversified farming, which is prospering, rather than from political demagogues who promote discontent and | promise improvement through such fallacies as| farm subsidies.

It may cost a little more to haul the pupila than it does to furnish a teacher and keep up a school room, but it is giving all the pupils of the district the advantages of the other pupl’s and thus doing a good that can- not be counted in dollars and cents, Assessment Is Illegal SHERIDAN—Holding that the col- lection of the four mil levy for high school construction in the Sheridan city school authorized by Sheridan voters at a special election here July 7 conflicted with a section of the 1920 state laws, the Sheridan county com- missioners Monday afternoon refused approval of the certificate of the Sher- idan school board offered prelim!nary to assessment of the levy. Cyrus Carpenter, former county as- sessor, presented an objection to the levy to the commissioners and the commissioners’ decision was the re- sult. He declared that the levy con- flicted with section 2783 of the revised statutes of 1920 which states that the school boards are not allowed to cer tify more money in a given year than is necessary for the prospective ex- penditures of that year. “Too great a burten rests 6n the taxpayers in the Sheridan school! dis trict," Mr, Carpenter told the com: missioners. “This district is obliged to pay taxes for the education of chi'd- ren from all the rest of the county in its high school. I believe that the county should provide a county dis- trict high school, or make some other arrangement for the equable distri. bution of taxes for county high school maintainence.” Range Conditions Good BASIN—Will Spratt was in town Yast week from his home on Tensleep where he has a fine ranch and reports conditions in that part of the country as belng above average.

Already a large number of breeders have signified their intentions of at- tending the fair and having on ex- hibit some of their best anima's. It is going to be, if present indications mean anything, one of the biggest events in the history of the state in the line of purebred stock and stock- growers who are interested in bet- tering their herds will no doubt find much of educational value by attend- ing the show. Cc. G. Cochran & Sons of Hays, Kan- Wired Tel Grape sas, the Warnock Live Stock Com- {pany of Loveland, Colo. and J. C. Haut & Son of Glendo are among the first breeders to make it known that they will be here with good herds and it is probable that these firms will make a strong contest for the prizes to be awarded. Shot Wrong Bird BASIN—G. C. Dillavou of the Basin State bank was the unfortunate vic- tim of an accident up in the Sheep Springs country on Sunday last, an accident which might have proved to be a very serious one. ‘With a party of friends, he had gone up on Saturday for the purpose of shooting some sage chickens. The members of the party were scattered over the field and proceeding with the business of scaring up chickens, when | there was a flutter of wings, a gun- shot was heard and Dillavou felt the ping of shot.

Se A Fatal Stretch WHEATLAND—The third automo- bile accident to occur within the space of a few weeks on the Yellowstone highway near Hunton creek happened Sunday afternoon when a car driven by O. W. Ho'mes of Guernsey went into the ditch at the identical curve where Charles Guesnier of Denver was killed a few weeks before. Ho!mes had approached the curve on the brow of ther hill at a fair rate of speed and was unable to negotiate the curve. His car went into the gutter on the left hand side of the road, tipping on its side against the bank and sliding along for several rods before losing its momentum. With Holmes at the time were several young people from Guernsey and ‘Wheatland, none of whom were ser- jously {njured. The fenders and run- ning board and the body of the auto on the left side were badly damaged. —$<$»—____ EXPERT watch and Jewetry repair ing. Casper Jewelry Co. 0-8 Blag.

They send a high- salaried salesman out on the road, betting his railroad fare, his Pullman ticket, his salary and his hotel bill that the man he wants to see will be in when he arrives. That’s where the bulk of selling costs are. But there are lots more business men who telephone first. If the deal can’t be closed by Long Distance they at least know whether the salesman will see his prospect. The high cost of personal interviews can be cut down by the use of the telephone.
