Honoring Pha Who Toil Tomorrow is a day sacred to Labor, when it is the privilege and should be the pleasure of every right-thinking and forward-looking Amer- ican citizen to pay tribute to the graet army of sturdy Americans who toil and build for the glory of our common country. It is a day too, which can well be devoted to reflection upon ways and means to bring peace and harmony among those who toil and those who employ, to the end that such peace and har- mony shall endure, and that honest toil shall be rewarded in manner commensurate with the service rendered, and shall be assigned for all time its honorable and rigthful estate in our Tepublic’s economic system. There can come to our country no peace, no happiness, no prosperity, where labor is not justly rewarded, and afforded the same opportu- nity as is every other effort of life requiring brain or muscle to rise, to the best fortune of- fered under our government of equality among all men. Let the- best brains of the country and the most patriotic economists included among work- ers and empYoyers continue to devote their ef- forts to a final solution of the problems that confront these principals, labor and _ capital, that have already made America the richest and most powerful nation of the world. Beyond Previous Records Industrially, the United States is better off than at any time in her history. As a whole the industrial plants are running capacity or near- ly so. In view of the fact that during the war the capacity for output of nearly eyery industry in the country was increased very materially, in many cases doubled, the statement that in- dustries are now working capacity means that they are turning out more goods than ever be- fore in their history. This is proved by the flat figures. During the past year the following industries have made production records: pig iron, cotton textile, steel ingot, crude oil, motor vehicle and locomotives. In addition, there has been, during the last year, the largest volume of mail order sales ever in the histc of the country, the largest volume of retail sales, and the largest volume of rail- road car loadings. The national banks on June 30 this year show- ed an increase in deposits of $577,416,000 over the corresponding date last year. The savings deposits, as reported by 886 banks throughout all sections of the United States for July 1, showed 36,656,000,000, an increase of $600,000,- 000 compared with July 1 a year ago. The mercantile agencies report the business failures for July the smallest in number since November, 1920, and the liabilities of these fail- ures were lower than any month for two and one-half years. This i most encouraging sign because as a rule July is one of the heaviest months in business failures. The employment situation is in every aspect satisfactory. During the month of Ju which is cities showed showing the month of seasonal layoffs, increased employment, as against slight decreases in employment compared with June. Classified by industries, nine of the fourteen basic industries showed an increase in July as compared with June. As compared with July a year ago, tremendous increase in employ- ment is shown in all the basic industries. Maintaining His Repeutation Running true to form William ¢ tive candidate for the Democratic for the presidency, issued a statement a few days ago in the state of Washington that is, as mildly as it may be consedered, a mass of mis- representations. First it charges that the Esch-Cummins act, passed by a Republican congress, resulted in ex cessive freight and passenger rates to the injury of agriculture. The Esch Cummins act. was necessary in order to take the railroads from government control (where Mr. McAdoo and a Democratic congress placed them) and return them to private con- trol. Under Mr. MeAdo administration of the railroads, freight rates were “hiked” to a higher point than ever before known in the history of American railroads. There they remained until the Esch-Cummins act, passed by a Republican congress, became effectiv ce that time rates have been gradually reduced. In t many cases they have been radically re duced by the Interstate Commerce Commission. That they have not been reduced more is due to the fact that the railroads were wrecked to such a degree under Mr. McAdoo’s regime that it has been necessary to keep the rates abnormally high in order to repair sonre of the damage done un der Mr. MeAdoo’s railroad administration Mr. McAdoo grossly misrepresents the situa- McAdoo, ac nomination tion when he states the Esch-Cummins act re long line of its predecessors, but the government, sulted in excessive high freight rates, our institutions, remain secure in the heart of This appears to be a practice of Mr. MeAdoo. | the American people. More than six generations Last year in two or three western speeches he | have written our constitution, not on parchment Stated that the Republican cdministration was | alone, nor yet on tablets of bronze, but into the responsible for the deflation of furm prices, | everlasting heart of the American people.

In his statement to Washington state voters, Mr. McAdoo reiterates the threadbare fiction that the Fordney-McCumber turiff is depriving the American farmer of his foreign markets, bas afforde! him no protection and is cesponsibie for high prices.of goods which he purchases. This seems to be the orthodox Democratic pro- gram, inasmuch as it is the same theory Sena- tor Underwood recently advanced. As has been repeated so often that it seems ridiculous to state it again, the American farm- ers, as well as other American producers, are selling nearly twice as much abroad as they did under the Underwood tariff prior to the World War. The charge of Mr. McAdoo that the tariff has not protected the farmer will not get very far in the state of Washington. Only a few days ago a dispatch out of Seattle stated that the Orient and the United Kingdom were increas- ing their purchases of wheat from Canada be- cause they could obtain Canadian wheat for much less than they could buy wheat in the state of Washington and in other western states. this difference in price of wheat in Canada the Ung States, between which there is only an invisible boundary line, is not due to the tariff, to what is it due? In point of fact, records show that northwest spring wheat, the kind raised in Washington and other northwestern states, has. sold from 10 to 20 cents a bushel more in the United States than it has in Canada, due wholly and exclusively to the Fordney protective tar! The charge that the farmer must pay more for what he buys because of the tariff is an- other misrepresentation which by this time is thoroughly discredited in all well-informed circles, The “farm bloc” was a determining factor in writing the Fordney-McCumber tariff. They saw to it that not only farm products were protected, but that the overwhelming bulk of articles used on the farm were put on the free list, such as all agricultural implements, building material of all kinds, fertilizer of all kinds, fencing and barbed wire, binding twine, all leather goods, such as harness, boots and shoes, etc., and so on down the list. No Guarantee Despite the plain language of the law, many critics of the railroads are still declaring that the transportation act “guarantees” the rail- roads a net return of six per cent. President C. R. Gray, of the Union Pacific, has added one more disproof of this assertion by showing that in 1920 the roads actually earned about one-third of oné per cent, in 1921 they earned three and one-third per cent and in 1922 about four and one-seventh per cent. There is no escaping the truth of Mr. Gray’s conclusion, “It is perfectly clear, therefore, that the law in no sense guar- antees the earnings of the railroads. If it did, the government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars for deficits in 1920, 1921 and 1922. And yet there are people who have so little regard for the truth that they will go on as- serting that the Transportation Act guarantees the earnings of railroad.s Please Name the Flavor The New York World, the most rabid of the Democratic Internationalists, asserts that “early constructive American intervention in the economic uffairs of Europe will help restore the werld to its balance.” But, pray may we ask what kind of “inter- vention?” “Intervention” is a vague and expansive term. Does it muaen that we shall undertake to pay France the amount of money she claims from Germany? Does it mean that we must cancel eleven billions of dollars of debts due this coun- try for money loaned and tax our own people to pay the amount? Does it mean that we must send an army to Europe to preserve peace on the Rhine and in the Near East? If “intervention” does not mean these things, just exactly what does it mean? Rediscovering Old Facts After conducting a far-reaching and long: drawn out investigation the federal Children’s Bureau has announced that “povert is an im- portant factor in infant mortality. Undoubtedly. or addie. tion to evil habits, are the chief causes of pov- erty. Therefore, raise the average standard of personal conduct and intelligence and you re- duce poverty and infant mortalit All of which most folks knew before the extensive investiga- tion was had with its pitiful finding. The Situation in Shipping Those who view world conditions so mistically should consider the shipping situa- tion. In the year ended June 30 last there was a decrease in the world idle ship tonnage of 2,443,- 000 tons. In our own government-owned fleet there was a decrease of 155,000 idle tons and }00 tons in privately owned ships. The figures can mean only one thing, that the people all over the world are turning more and more to productive enterprise, and are demand- ing more extensive equipment for marketing their products abroad. If the present movement con- tinues it will be but a matter of months before prewar conditions are approximated. pessi- Page the League Spain is engaged in active warfare with native tribesmen in Morocco. There seems to be a clash between monarchial ambition and _ self-determi- nation. Where is the league of nations, with its remedy already prescribed for just such cases? But this is summer time, and one can hardly ex- pect an anti-war organization to function amid the seductive charms of Lake Geneva and the | Alps | Into the People’s Hearts | This administration may come and go, like the ve bagead Want Hard Surfaced Road GLENROCK—For the past year and over the road between Glenrock and Casper has been tried out with @ gravel surface, and it has been found that this surface will not stand up under the traffic that this particular piece of road is subjected to. There is prehaps no piece of highway in the state that has as heavy traffic as has this stretch of road; not only just the ordinary traffic that goes over the regular highways but a great deal of trick traffic as well. Thero is hardlv a day goes past but what trucks travel this road loaded anywhere for 1% to 6 tons. This kind of! travel is exceptionally hard on the road and it has been found that it| keeps someone constantly working to keep the road up.. The road was finished with a fine gravel surface, one of the best sur- faces that it is possible to put on a highway, other than a hard surface and this will not stand up under the traffic. Therefore, it is now neces- sary to try some other method. We understand that many of the Casper motorists are in favor of making hard surface on this piece of highway. This is something that this paper has advocated ever since they started to build the gravel sur faced road here. When we talked it over with the highway engineers be- fore the present system was put in, they stated that something like the present road would have to be built first and let it settle to give a foun- dation for some sort of hard paving. Now that this road has been in something over a year and the foun- dation is thoroughly settled we be- eve that it is time to start a move- ment for a concrete road betweery Casper and Glenrock. With the Tank Farm at Clayton this makes the traffic from here to Casper all the heavier and we are certain that it wil not decrease s time goes on, it means a great demand for a hard surfaced road, A hard surface! road Is an ex: pensive pro,os.tiva, but in the long run would be a much cheaper road under the existing traffic conditions. A strong concrete road over this stretch of highway would do away with a large amount of the cost of maintenance, and atill have a much better 1 for travel. It would save the cost of having to all the time be building up the road and making repairs. Just what the cost of cementing a road {s we do not know, but will probably come to, this in a very short time anyway as that. is the only kind of roud that wil! last under this kind of travel. Wyoming 4 well noted for the quality of thelr h'ghways, and we believe that the peop'e of this part of the state should work for such a road here. In time there is 10 doubt but what the road all the way between Cas- per and Douglas will need 19 be hard surfaced, but that particular part of the road that is now subject- ed to the hardest traffic is between} Casper and Glenrock. As there is no hard surfaced road in the state! except out of Casper toward Salt! Creek, we believe that this is a very good place to try 25 miles of sur-| faced highway. Let's have a reg- ular boulevard to Casper. What say you? 1 School Buses ; GLENROCK—The ‘two Interna-} tional Buses for school children | transportation arrived the atter part of last week. The cars are all enclosed, with heater from the en- gine so arranged that the interior of the bus can be heated in the cold weather, which will make it very comfortable riding at any time. Each bus will hold between 20 and 30 pupils. They are painted a light tan, so that dust does not show on them hardly at all. Each is labeled| as the Glenrock-Parkerton school bus, with their number on the eide. ‘These are exceptionally good trans- portation cars and should give the drivers no trouble for the first two} or three years, MERCHANTS SAVE One-half and more on standard store and of- fice equipment.

Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined ‘ Mountain Climbing LANDER—Alpine climbing seems likely to become as popular a sport in Wyoming as it has been for years| rormer pastor of the Methodist ' ary in Europe, where mountain climb- ing clubs are formed to scale dan- gerous peaks and the members travel thousands of miles for a chance at the sport. Dr. C. T. Jones of Lander and Louts McMichels of Dubois reached last Friday, after climbing steadly the top of Mt, Gannett, 13,785 feet from early morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon when they reached the top-most pinnacle after a crawl of several hundred yards on all fours in the teeth of an icy blast that threatened to hurl them half a mile down the icy moraines that pitch off into big glacier fields on both the east and west side of the peak. They went up on the east side of the peak, while Stalnaker and Jack- son, who made the ascent last year, went up the west. . They found the records left by the earller party, and also left their own cached in a tobacco can in a cairn of rocks. Huie Is Cashier GILLETTE—To resign his posi- tion as state bank examiner to be- come cashier of the Bank of Gillette, an institution which he recently saved from failure through his able work as a banker and organizer, is the decision made by Byron S. Hule at a meeting of the directors of the Bank of Gillette, The offer to become casiler of the bank was made to Mr. Hule some time ago and was formally tendered to him-at the meeting on Tuesday. Mr. Hule will resign his Position as state bank examiner in order to take up his new duties by the time his successor is appointed; this will probably be some time about the tenth of October. Mr. Hule succeeds Cashier W. D. Townsend who has held both the position of president and cashier of the bank. Mr. Townsend, however, retains his position as president, giving up only part of his duties. He will go to California in the near future but will return to Gillette some time during the winter or next spring. . Site for League Institute DOUGLAS—Rev. H, E. ‘Shepherd, church here, now field secretary for the church in the state, is in Doug- las today for the purpose of looking over the State Fair grounds as a site for the annual Wyoming Con- ference Epworth League Intitute. ‘The Institute has just completed its first meeting, which was held at 'Thermopolis. It was quite success- ful and those in charge are looking over the available sites for a per- manent meeting place. The Fair grounds, with its permanent bulld- ings, water and shade, is in favor with the committee having the task of locating the site. The Institute, it is planned, will be held the latter part of July, ai- though the definite date has not yet been chosen.’ It is expected that from 150 to 300 will attend each year, the Institute lasting a week. It will be a distinct advantage to. the town securing it and will be a permanent affair. End of the Drive The 1923 tle drive of the Wyo- ming Tie and Lumber company wil! end in Riverton between the fifth and tenth of September, according to R. Vau Metre, president of the company, who is here giving his personal attention to the work. The drive this year has experienc- ed difficulties from water spouts and labor disputes and is therefore later than usual in reaching here. Between 6,000 and 7,000 ties were carried past the local yards by flood waters and of this number perhaps more than 1,000 will be a complete lors. This year’s drive in- cludes a fotal of slightly over 300,000. ee + Send your automobile news to “Spark Plug.”—Care Tribune. Mrs. Homer Helms Teacher of Piano CY Apts.
