Sound ‘Advice to America Elliot Wadsworth, assistant secretary of the treasury, conducted the negotiations in Europe relative to the settlement of money due the Unit- ed States for maintenance of the army on the Rhine. While engaged in that work he came in intimate contact with the allied nations and had an excellent opportunity for discovering their viewpoint as well as ascertaining the actual conditions in Europe. A much better and wider opportunity than unofficial visitors who are feiging home so many half baked theories and such foolish advice as to what America should do respecting our duty to other nations and other peoples. Mr. Wadsworth on this general subject has ken freely and fully and he outlines Amer- fea’s position clearly when he says: “The settlement of reparations and guaran- tees is fundamental to the future of certain nations of Europe. Drastic steps are being taken to force the issue. Some far-reaching results must be obtained. Suppose that the United States through its official representatives had com- mitted itself for or against the present action in the Ruhr; that stand could not fail to become ] issue in the next campaign. It would ae upon which the voters could not be fully informed, and yet the result of the voting would be of paramount importance to the na- tions of Europe that would be affected. What nation with its interests at sake could resist the temptation of taking part in such a cam- paign? “That is one of the old arguments against the official presence of the United States in the political arena of Europe, and only to make it more definite do I cite the Ruhr as a typical ex- ample of the kind of question which would con- stantly be injected into our elections. “There are domestic problems facing us at home which are not too small to keep the best men that can be found for high government of fice, umply occupied. Our national finances, taxes, the prosperity of the farmer, industrial relations, railroads and shipping are a few of the many questions, which press for constructive settlement. We alone can solye them. We can ask no help from outside nor do we intend too. The voters must decide every so often into whose hands they will intrust the affairs of this na tion. Whoever may be chosen should represent the choice of the people based upon home ques tions and not upon any theoretical action which may or may not be taken in Europe. “In many ways this is as critical a time for the United States as it is for any other nation. We may, as individuals, be deeply interested and engrossed in the spectacular happenings of Eu rope. I do not belittle our selfish interest in the result of those happenings, but I feel deeply that our action as American citizens should be con- trolled by what is best for the United States in the management of its own affairs. “The United States today is a great and sol- vent nation. No such development has ever oc- curred before in the world. No such democratic government has ever existed. We are a great experiment and a very successful one. We seo great nations which for generations had been looked upon as stable beyond question strug- gling today in a crisis which may wreck their government, finance and industry and turning to us for help. “Upon our own welfare will depend the ex- tent to which we may be of help. Upon the men whom we elect to office much of our welfare de pends. America need not fear the accusation of the world that we are selfish and self-seeking simply because we devote the best thought and energy which is in us to our own problems and policies. The world needs the United States, needs us at our very best, strong in government sound in finance and industry. The broad sym pathy of the American people together with an energetic, ever present desire among American business men to build up and not tear down must give assurance that others will not suffer but will benefit as we achieve social advancement and prosperity. “By keeping ourselves free and uncommitted; by keeping strong; by handling our own busi ness efficiently, we are in the long run consery ing and building up a force which has and will prove of untold benefit in the re-establishment of Europe.” Efficiency Raises Living Standards Most of the growth of efficiency tn produc tion -is due to progress in the development of machinery and improvement in management in industrial processes, but the degree in personal efficiency must remain a factor of the highest importance. Everywhere n be seen the im Provement in the standards of living in work ten's families made possible by capital accum ulations, busine: rgan ion, labor saving ma chinery, and skill on the part of the worker themselves. The productivity of human effort continually enlarged by these means, making possible an increasing variety and output of | commodities. From 1910 to 1920, for example, there was a decline of 1,702,000 in the number of persons en- gaged in agriculture in the United States, and yet the estimated value of farm products in the latter year was two and one-half times the cor- responding value in 1910, representing an in- crease in quantity as well as value of output That the supply of some farm products has been temporarily greater than could be marketed profitably is an argument not for les efficiency in production, but for better balanced produc- tion. Similar gains are being made in produc- tion percapita in other lines, with resulting ad- vance in the general standard of living. It is estimated that today we could supply to each person in the country the same quantities of commodities that he consumed ten years ago, and at the same time dispense with the services of about 2,000,000 of the persons now employed. With such a direct relationship between pro- ductivity and standard of living it is futile to expect that restrictions upon the output of la- bor for any cause or purpose either on the part of workmen or on the part of employers can re- sult in any lasting benefit to either. The wages of important groups of highly paid workers today are endangered not only by a reduction in personal efficiency, such as not in- frequently appears in highly prosperous periods, but by the lack of balance between their compen- sation and that of their fellow workers in other lines. So long as this condition obtains the bases for sustained prosperity are incomplete. The State Fair The Douglas State Fair is to be held this year Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 11, 12, 13 and 14. The fair is now under the direct supervision of the state agri- cultural department and it is promised by the management that the exhibitions of the state’s resources will be larger and better than ever before. The several counties of the state wherein agri- cultural agents are employed have made great strides in the past few years and their exhibits have become not only varied but perfect of their kind. A healthy rivalry has developed between different sections of the state in agriculture, horticulture and live stock breeding and the fair affords the only real opportunity to bring the results of these great industries into com- petition and secure the judgment of experts on the merits of the several products. In addition to the displays of agriculture and livestock, there is a very attractive program of entertainment and many special and unusual features for the enjoyment of the fair visitors. Then, too, Douglas is one of the prettiest ci in the state, its people are hospitable and the state fair ground is a beautiful park in itself. It is well worth while to any citizen of the state to attend the fair. Going Broke Did Governor ‘McMaster of South Dakota start something when he reduced the price of gasoline to sixteen cents through the supply de- pots of the state highway commission? Yes, the governor started considerable and it is still going. And this is the way the merry war is proceed- ing. The big refiners doing business in the state went the governor one better and reduced the price to fifteen and a half cents. The governor found he could not get out even on sixteen cent gasoline and raised his price to twenty cents. To meet the competition and the established price of the big concerns, the independent and the small refineries were forced to the low price. Now comes the wail of the dealers all over the state, the filling stations, and other handlers of gasoline. They are going broke. Many of them have already achieved that distinction and in a brief time the rest will be also numbered with those who entered the great gas war. If the governor undertook the war for the pur- poses of personal popularity, the situation bears every evidence of failure. Coupled with this is the ‘sacrifice of the helpless dealers. Crucified on the altar of the governor’s ambition. Ah, well, such things, have happened before, many times. The governor was hailed as a public benefac- tor in the first instance. When the whole story is told will the governor be written down as a hero or a boob? The Volume of Business In a general view of production and distribu- tion in the country it is evident that the volume of current business remains large when meas- ured by any other than peak standards. The de- cline in price and recession in yolume are not accompanied by the usual initial characteristics of depression. Inventories are generally conser- yative, bank credit is not over extended, and in- terest rates remain moderate. Instead of the over-expansion of construction which has usually preceded drastic and pro- longed depression, there remains a general short age of housing and other construction. The reaction both in security and commodity markets from the levels of the early part of the year has prepared the way for more nearly stable and normal business. And the fall stim- ulus may be expected to quicken the pace of in dustry and trade. The railroads have prepared for the movement of an unprecedented volume of | freight. Altogether, these are conditions favor- able to a continuation of good business, Benefits of Progress Continuing {improvement in the economic status of wage earners is altogether desirable. Indeed, the most wholesome development of the country’s resources must be accompanied by the incre: ng well-being for all those who render economic service, for those who toil with their | hands no less than for those who accumulate | and utilize capital. Progress in this direction, however cannot depend upon a temporary advantage enjoyed by | one group of workers at the expense of another. These are trite sayings, but some of their impli- cations are often overlooked or ignored. At all times there are workers in one group another whose compensation is relatively or lower than is warranted by the prevailing) e nomic conditions, those whose position may and should he improved directly as a result of in creased wages, In general, however, an improv ing standard of living and sustained growth in | real wages for the masses of the workers can | Che Casper Daily Cribune Labor Day Celebrations ROCK SPRINGS—There are many big days in Wyoming, but {ft is doubtful if any surpass in impor tance the Labor day celebrations that take place in this section of the state. Organized labor will out do themselves this year in honor of the horny-handed sons of toll, those workers who delve down deep in the bowels of the earth—in common with their compatriots of other call- ings, The Twin ‘City Labor Day cele- bration at Superior and South Su- perior, to be held Sunday and Mon- day, September 2 and 3, will include a free picture show, baseball each day, in addition to a grand parade in the morning. In the line of march will be the labor organizations comedians and a long train of auto- mobiles. Candy will be served the children and sport for the younger people will add to the attractions of the day, Ben Williams, an inter- national orator, will occupy the morning forum. A grand free dance will put 9 fitting end to the glorious day. The celebration at Rellance will last three days, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 1, 2, and 3. Here as at other camps in the dis- trict, sports of all kinds have been provided and it would appear from the programs for the Reliance cele- bration there will be sufficient of good things listed to please the most exacting. Rock Springs will observe Septem- ber 2 and 3, and on these days the committee announces “two full days of unparalleled three-ring circuses.” This of course has to do with the various sports, which border on the wild and wooly style. Attorney 8S. A. King of Salt Lake will be the Speaker of the day and William Feqney, international organizer for the U. M. W. of A,, will speak au- thoritatively for organized labor, Takes Over Private Hatchery CODY—So pleased with the loca.

Park county donated $200 early in the summer and John Vogel headed a crew of volunteer sportsmen who worked one Sunday in clearing the Place. This was followed by a week! with men and a team and the instal- lation of a practical headgate. Thirty-five cans were placed in this rearing pond from the car ship- ment of fingerlings from the federal) hatchery at Bozeman and the re-| Ports indicate that the little fish are thriving nicely, Two more cars are| expected this season as a result of the interest taken by the local sportsmen fn planting the fish and the promptness with which the cans are returned. Application for fi to be planted in public wai should be made to O. F. Koenig, president of the Cody Rod and Gun club or to Will Richard, Ed Null or Charles Workman. The Canyon Highway THERMOPOLIS.—County Com-| missioner Peter Sill made a trip| through Wind River canyon Sunday where the scenic section of the Yel- lowstone highway is now under course of construction. Mr. Sill was very much impressed with the amount of work that has been ac- complished to date, and states that only one mile of work separates the two steam shovels working in this end of the gorge. It is estimated by contractors in charge of the work that the canyon! road will be completed by Decem-| ber, exclusive of surfacing, which| will be a short job compared with the heavy grading work. Negotiating for Gas CODY.—Natural gas for Cody piped from the field of the West- ern Oil and Gas Company, a local corporation, through a lease given! to a corporation financed by M.| Guiltterman and associates of Beau-| mont, Texas, and having W. O. Tay-| lor of Cody, as vice president and |the dead man having been uncov- manager and Frederick Morris of Cody as secretary and treasurer, ap- pears to be an immediate probabil- ity. The Cody representatives with their attorney, Paul R. Greener met with the clty council Monday night informally to go over the terms of a franchise and by mutual agreement the matter will be formally present- ed at the next regular council meet- ing, September 8. Meanwhile the) mayor and council will satisfy it- self as to the ability of the com- pany to supply the city with suffi- cient gas for domestic and commer- cial purposes. To Construct Line RIVERTON—The Cheyenne Con- struction company, which has been awarded the contract to erect about 28 miles of transmission line on the Riverton project, is expected to es- tablish a camp within the next ten days and immediately start work with a force of from fifteen to twen- ty men. It is expected that next spring the hydro-electric plant on the pro- ject will have been installed, and then the power will be available for work on the project, or elsewhere when neded, A Gruesome Discovery ROCK SPRINGS—A sruesome find was made at Black Buttes on Tuesday afternoon when the de- composed body of Oulsimo Carras- co, a Mexican section man, was found in a shallow grave about 400 feet north of the station. The discovery was made by a young man who was hknting, one leg of ered by the earth washing away and leaving it exposed. The officers were immediately no- tified and Coroner Rogan went to Black Buttes, disinterred the body and brought it to this clty. Pieces of clothing and other marks of identification lead the officers to be- identification lea e offeres to be- lieve the body hat of Quisimo Carrasco who was employed as & laborer on the Black Butte section 22, 1991. At the time of his disap- pearance, there were but four men on the crew at Black Buttes, a Jap boss and three men including Car- rasco. When Carrasco disappeared the two section laborers reported that he had gone to Rock Springs. This statement has now been proven false by the discovery of TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1923. dered, At the time he is reported to” have gone to Rock Springs he had something over $100 on his person. Examination of the body disclosed two distinct injuries at the right side of the skull, causing fracture, and a bullet hole in the top of the skull. The officers now believe he was murderd and robbed by his fellow workmen and they are at- {| Carrasco's body on Tuesday and it is now believed that he was mur-| tempting to locate the men.
