The Casper Bus Line While it is to be expected that an institution that engages in the public service will do its duty, there is commendation coming to the Casper omnibus line for the manner in which it is strug- gling to keep its buses on time on the routes: ott paved streets. On account of the nmd the diffi- culties are tremendous to overcome. The floors of the vehicles are in woeful con-/ dition, which is impossible to remedy, until the) wery Sunday, at Casper,/ and shoes, he buys harness and saddles and leather fly-nets. Gloves made wholly or In chief of leather, all leather used for harness or sad- dlery, leather for shoe uppers, shoe vamps, soles, leather shoelaces, boots and shoes made who! or in chief of leather, hides of cattle from whi leather is made—all are admitted free under the tariff. i The farmer uses whetstones and hones. They are admitted free under the tariff. The farmer uses horsepads. They are admitted under the Fordney-McCumber tariff. The farm- er uses barbed wire in fencing and for other purposes. It is admitted free under the tariff. The free list eliminates a very large percentage of what the farmer buys. If prices of any of these articles have gone up it is not due to the tariff. Coal, both hard and soft, slack, coke, and all compositions for fuel in which coal or coal dust is the principal material are admitted free. Therefore, the tariff has not increased the farm- er’s fuel bill and is not responsible in any degree for the high price of coal. Obviously if wood and lumber are on the free list, and change in the cost of household furni- ture and other articles made of wood which the farmer buys cannot be charged to the tariff. After eliminating the farmer's building mater- ial, his agricultural implements, his barbed wire, his binding twine, his fuel, his fertilizer, his z| leather goods of all kinds, his household furni- |ture and whatever other commodities he pur- chases in which wood enters, what is there left to |charge up against the tariff? Whatever is left comes under the classifica- tion of “manufactured articles ready for con- sumption” or manufactured articles for further use in manufacturing.” The theory of free trade and the only virtue it has is that it permits large imports of goods, which by entering into competition with home- made goods, keeps down the price. According to the free trader, the larger the imports the better for the consumer. The following is a table showing imports of “manufactured goods reads for further use in manufacturing.” This table iv copied from the reports of the department of commerce for the years indicated the years be- ing fiscal years ending June 30: 1910 . 1911 . 1912 . 1918 . «+++ -$625,861,740 «+++ 649,207,832 -- 653,758,097 - 757,580,632 mud dries up in the suburbs, the drivers have a TnL . 5 Beisel large load of grief in getting ar Nace cree aes ik artes Sainte dy streets and hills in safety, the public see 80, Set ad ocmoe and in fact everything is dis- 1923 (11 months) «+++ -1,804,722,000 Boe ble and unsatisfactory.

There can be no doubt that Mr. Wilson, to the best of his strength and abil. ity, will try to keep his party “straight” on the igaue dearest to his heart the league of nations. He will not t any “wobbling,” either by the or by individual candidates on that point. he Brennan interview makes it plain that Mr. Wilson stands exactly where he stood on his re- turn from Paris. He still believes that the United States must enter the league sooner or later ‘and conform to the league project virtually in the form of the treaty of Versailles.” This means without reservation of any kind. There is no hint of compromise in Mr. Wilson's attitude. Now the former president faces the task of forcing this program on his party. Practical politicians are unwilling to repeat the disastrous experiment of 1920 on the same “paramount is- sue.” Avowed Democratic candidates are equal. ly lukewarn. Perhaps the former president has some candidate in mind willing to run on a straight league platform, and he may have urged this candidacy so strongly as to recall Roose- yelt’s threat: “If they don’t take Taft, they'll get ane If any Democrat can be found to espouse the league without reservations, he is sure to get Mr. ‘Wilson’s support. It would be interesting to know where William G. McAdoo stands on this proposition. the history of the United States. If there is any merit at all in the free trade argument that in- creased imports mean decreased prices to the consumer then there is absolutely no ground for the charge that the tariff has been responsible for the increase in price of any article. If there is no truth in the argument, then there is no ar- gument in favor of free trade whatever. The New York Times and other free traders can take whicheyer horn of the dilemma they like. The New York Times correctly says “wheat has come down.” In connection with its other statement, the inference is that wheat has come down because of the Republican tariff. What the Times does not state, and what no other free trade paper or free trade advocate states, is the fact that while wheat has gone down in this country since the Republican tariff went into effect, it has gone down even farther in other countries which did not have a tariff. It does not state, and therefore attempts to de- ceive by suppressing half the truth, that in Can- ada, which has no tariff, wheat is selling day by day for seven and eights cents a bushel less than in Chicago and Minneapolis. The latest wheat crop forcast issued by the department of agricul- ture is 821,000,000 bushels for the United States this year. A difference of seven cents a bushel in favor of the American farmer upon this basis would enrich him $57,470,000 which is a pretty fair estimate of what the tariff on wheat saves him on this year’s crop. He Knows the Game It is a great pastime these days, since Calvin Coolidge has come to be presifent to determine whether or not he possesses the common Ameri- can inheritance “politics.” That is, is he pure statesman or does he somewhere along the line bear the taint of the politician. When Bascom Slemp was selected secretary the cry went up that he surely had it in his sys- tem. This conclusion was based upon the fact that Mr. Slemp is skilled in party management, knows the ropes and wires and all connections that can be made with them. Has had experi- ence all the way up to national party affairs, {and is from the south—Virginia—where he held a congressional seat for seven or eight terms in Mr. Wilson will make it his business to keep his party “straight” on the league just as Mr.) Bryan will keep it straight on prohibition. a Democratic state as its only Republican repre- sentative, Those who expressed an opinion were sure the president’s scheme was to grab the jsouthern delegates to the 1924 convention ; through his secretary. Just What Has Been Boosted? —{, The sport proceeded. The coal strike loomed “The protective magic has not worked. Wheat has gone down. The price of everything the farm- er has to buy has been put up by the blssed tar- iff. So runs a statement by the New York Times. This statement like many utterances on the sub- ject of the tariff is as fur from the truth as the average editorial utterance of the New York World on the same subject—which is an awful thing to say of any newspaper. The price of everything the farmer has to buy has not been put up by the tariff. Let us submit the proof in the case. The farmer buys agricultural implements all of which are on the free Jist under the tariff. Not only agricultural implements in whole or part, but all repair parts of agricultural implements are on the free list. large on the horizon and the president asked | Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, a gentleman known to have presidential aspirations to set: tle the strike, which he did. Then the guessers and opinion purveyors were certain the president hadn’t the vestige of pol- jities about him. Here he handed over to a dan |gerous rival the great prestige to be gained in composing a matter vital to the people of the entire east. The president was an amateur. That was all there was to it] That was the decision. On the heels of the Pinchot adjustment arose }a great cry from the consumers of coal, over the territory named, that Governor Pinchot’s |settlement simply sed on to them the higher vost of coal provided for in the increased wages of the anthracite miners, The analyzers of the president paused to con- sider where they were at in this rapidly moving Casper Daily Cribune One Hundred Days It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined. ~ Bi Lice A helene s Recerca ah would on How many of these are of any right now ff that 25 miles had been pay this past summer.

Ak: The Highway Bridge at Douglas KEMMERER.—Jose a subject of Obregon and a disciple of Dead Eye Dick, has commenced the first of a 100-day sentence in the county bastile, as a result of having been found guflty of drawing a dan- gerous weapon, which is against the peace and dignity of the state of ‘Wyoming. In addition, Jose is nursing a wounded arm, which should serve as @ constant reminder not to attempt to draw a revolver on an officer un- less one has perfected the art of drawing !t in two seconds less than nothing flat. Jose was arrested on August 9, in the local yards, by Night Marshal Alvin Anderson, suspected as being the perpetrator of a holdup in Kem- merer a few days previous. Prior to his arrest, according to Marshal Anderson, he attempted to draw a re- volver on the officer, who beat him to {t, and shot him in the arm. Be- fore Judge McAllister he was given his choice of contributing one hun- dred shekels to the city treasury, or of remaining fn jaf] for one hundred days. Being without sufficient wherewithal, he chose to remain as a guest of Sheriff Oakley for ten days longer than three months. wo Be The Hero, a Daddy KEMMERER.—Ciiff Phillips, sur- vivor of the Frontier mine horror of August 14 last, is a happy father, a daughter having been born to Mrs. Phillips at the L. C, M, hos- pital. Both are reported well. The couple reside in Frontier. Mr. Phillips is one of the sur. vivors of the 27th entry, where by his cool-headedness and assistance from Tony Babish and Joe Nagey, he saved over twenty other miners. Mr. Phillips has returned to work at the mine which nearly cost him his life. He had been in three other similar accidents before the explo- sion at Frontier mine. > Fine Dairy Cattle KEMMERER.—Perhaps the most valuable carload of lye stock that ever passed through Kemmerer was that in an O. S. L. train Tuesday, consigned to New York, for exhibt- tion purposes. Among the animals, six in number and all registered. was the champion cow of America, raised near New Salem, Ore. This cow has a record of providing 1,200 pounds of butter fat in 365 days— one year. She is valued at $30,000. All ‘the animals represented the and were experts. ‘The animals are to be exhibited at a national Itve stock fair in York, in charge of several la ‘The new Douglas bridge, above, will give some idea of the per- manecy with which the state high- way commission is constructing the Yellowstone highway. ‘The Douglas bridge is said to have bee copied after a bridge in Spain that stood for more than two hundred years; and has done service and sustained traffic on a highway which connects Spain and France, and which {fs one of the busiest highways in all Europe. The span of the Yellowstone highway between Casper and Glen- rock is all ready for a hard surface pavement and never again can the work be done so well or so cheaply as right now. The grade is perfect and the hard gravel top makes a splendid base for®a pavement, but the work of paving must be done while the base is still there and still intact and perfect. The gravel will be disintegrated and blown away in a couple of years so the total cost up to date would be lost. Of course, it could be oiled, that would help some, but that is only a cheap make- shift at best and saves a gravel highway where there is heavy traffic only a short time. Already you can seen many holes through the olled surface between Evansville and Cas- per, in fact they began to appear the second day after the road was opened to travel after oiling. If oil- ing were satisfactory there would still be hundreds of miles of oiled roads in and around Los Angeles, for they began oiling the roads out there in 1906 and all the kids living within half a mile of a newly oiled road had to have their feet washed with gasoline every night before they were put to bed. The mothers were frantic, their carpets and rugs were ruined and the homes were covered with grease spots where the kids had soaked them with mud balls. The 25 miles of highway bloods of their respective classes, from Casper to Glenrock 1s one of the most fasinating drives in the United States.

A won- derful scenic highway that would soon be talked of all over the United States if it were but surfaced. The Yellowstone park records show that nearly 10,000 cars entered the park up to August 15 this year. through the two Wyoming en. trances. And that more than 45,000 Persons rode in these cars. It is a lead pipe cinch that 90 percent of these people rode bver the 25 miles between Casper and Glenrock either golng or returning from the park. ne “Just a Girl That Men Forget”) — Sung by Henry Burr. “My Pal’’—Sung by John Steel.
