It may be through fault of their own and it may be through circumstances they were less to control That matters but little. The whole point is that men and women and children are in dis- tress, in a Christian community. That distress must be relieved, either in a public or in a pri- vate way. The Book teaches us to help one another, and it has been followed by all Chris- tian peoples since the day of the greatest of all teachers. Chority is an item in the budget of all Am- ericans and it is disbursed in one form or an- other from the lowly to the most high. Sins and frauds have been committed in the name of charity as frequently as in other human efforts for good. That does not destroy nor prohibit its progress, nor its good purpose. Charity remains the greatest of human virtues. It has long been the study of men and wo- men of philantrophic propensities, to devise a plan of distributing charity with a minimum of wastefulness. Many different systems have been tried. Charities devoted to a single pur- pose, and charities united under a single head serving many purposes. None of them have attained more than mediocre success. When charity in the larger cities came to be a “big business” and require a big staff of ex- perienced people to conduct it, the overhead ww in proportion and it became not only eavy and Roar ee ee but expensive as well, and wholly unsatisfactory. Some es hit upon the Community Chest idea. Of a single adequate collection for all purposes, disbursed on the budget system to the several organizations formed for the pur- pose of caring for particular objects. It was a success from the beginning and has been adopted in turn by all of the larger cities and many of the smaller ones throughout the land. It has ‘proved a relief both to those who support charity and those who dispense it first hand were required, Casper has adopted the system, and will shortly open a campaign to secure the sum of $54,000 to defray the expenses of all deserving objects for the ensuing year. This sum will be apportioned to the sundry organizations en- gaged directly in charitable, relief and welfare work. The Community Chest abolishes all of the independent moves for raising money by public subscription or donation. There will be no drives, tag days, doughnut sales, or other plans operated to obtain money from the general pub- So long as the hb lic. All of these schemes pass into the discard. And it is well. Some of them had been over: worked. The chest is designed to amply provide in a proper business way for all claims for assist- ance that may be recognized by a liberal and Christian community. When the time comes, there is little need} to instruct the people of Casper in their duty. They have always recognized it and performed it with good will and liberality. Every person will have opportunity to give what his means will permit for this great public purpose. That he will give it goes without saying, for no one disputes the necessity of caring for the unfor- tunate, relieving those in temporary distress, uplifting and encouraging men and women to more desirable situation in life, and in doing the things and acts that mako for a better com- munity. | Agriculture and Manufacturing A glance at a few figures will show the av- erage American citizen that it is altogether un- wise and unpatriotic to divide the people of the United States into two classes, agriculturists and mamufacturers, and draw insidious com parisons between the two. Tt is equally unwise and uneconomic to di vide the people into two other classes, producers and consumers Finally it is perilous to at- tempt to legislate for the special benefit of one class or of one section, as against another. “Union” and “general welfare’ are the two cornerstones upon which our national economic as well as our political structure is built. A unity of interest, a common national purpose, haye made the United States great and given to the republic its shibboleth “in union there is strength.” The e about thirty-two million farmers in the United States, approximate per cent or one-third of the total population. The amount of the farm wealth is estimated at about $75,000,000,000. The amount of wealth invested in the manufacturing establishments ofthe United States, including materials used is estimated at $82,000,000,000. The value of the farm crops and livestock of the country is estimated at $15,000,000,000. The yalue of the manufactured products is esti- mated at $62,500,000,000. While it is difficult to estimate the relative economic yalue of America’s farmers and man- ufacturers, it is perfectly obvious that their in- terests are mutual, and that each class is neces- sary to the other. The great benefit of a broad protection pro. gram is the diversification of industries, and the mutual reliance of one upon the other. It |would be disastrous for the United States to be a wholly agricultural or a wholly manufacturing country. Development of home manufactur- ers provides a valuable market for 80 per cent of the products of the American farms, while American farms provide a valuable home market jfor American manufacturers. Nor is it correct or economie to speak of the producing and the consuming classes as if the ley ogg could be thus divided and legislation to fit one class in distinction from the other class. All citizens, except insane, crim- inals. infants and aged, are both producers and consumers, if they are a worthy part of the community in which they live. It is impossible for any community or nation to consume un- interruptedly without producing, and the pro- cess of production must precede the process of conerapeon- Therefore it is aa more ae sary to production first. at is what protection ex Legislation to help the con- smaer first is putting the cart before the horse and falling into the error of dividing citizens into two classes, producers and consumers. Legislation for the special benefit of one class inevitably tnjures all other classes. The na tion rises or falls as a whole, not as segments or sections of a whole. The Undying Flame Each night, while France lives, a vigil light will burn at the head of her Unknown Soldier's grave, a symbol “Like the hallowed flame of Vestal fire, that dies not, year on year.” This fire of memory was lit on Armistice Day by one who was a poilu but is now minis- ter of war. Near him stood General Pershing, with Cardinal Dubois and Marshal Petain. Close by were Poincare and Millerand, with the marshals of France and the allied ambassadors. The battle flags of the republic flung to the chill November air their tattered glory as Gen- eral Gourard, the one-armed, whipped his saber to salute as he rode by with his heroes. That undying flame beneath the Arc de Tri- omphe is more impressive even than the massive ,|pile which towers over it. That fire is like the soul of the nnnamed hero or of the France for whom he died. Ardent, pure, unquenchable, it burns with a still intensity that years will not diminish. It is not the flame of hatred, nor yet the ewe fire of ambition. It is the ful- gent light of clear purpose, of unwavering will. There was another symbol which Paris knew. monument, emblem of mourning and threat of revenge. For weary years it typified the inglor- fous war of 1870 and the Lost Provinces. French- men came thére to weep until that first Armis- tice Day, and thereafter they came to rejoice. The Strasbourg monument wears crepe no longer. Seeing Things In these parlous times if the United States and some other nation or nations should agree in writing that the Ten Commandments form a good moral code there would be instant objec- tion raised by the irreconcilables of the land, objection which would not be foregone. Quickly on the signing of sych a compact ir- reconcilability would consult some handy en- cyclopedia to find out what the Ten Command. ments are and then, having located them and their place in the Twentieth Chapter of Exodus, would make a microscopic study of each para- graph of the Mount Sinai pronouncements hop- ing and believing that underneath one or the other of them would be found lurking the league of nations. how much money Germany has in its pocket Mr. Johnson of California has found all the ele- ments of a conspiracy to enforce the hated Ar- tiele 10 with other articles severally and collec- tively intended to undo our beloved country. The irreconcilable sees things day-time and night- time which no other man can see. The non-exist- ence of an object does not prevent its instant visualization. If the hope of the administration be to find some plan of international procedure so harm- less that irreconcilability will not attempt to lay it by the heels it may as well give it over. If some foreigner in an unhappy moment give indorsement to the golden rule he would be given quick irreconcilable choice to renege or fight. Destroying Income Tax J. Ogden Mills, a banker, at the National Tax conference, declared that tax-exempt securities nee the greatest evil in the whole field of taxa jon. He declared a progressive income tax and tax exempt securities could not exist side by side, and latter would destroy the former. “Is there any need to point out how excessive- ly high surtax rates sin against the fundamen- tals of a sound tax system, in that they are be- coming increasingly unproductive that they en- courage exasion and are too great a burden on industry, initiative and thrift? “Can there be anything more fantastic than the government of the United States solemnly declaring its purpose to take per cent of a man’s income and then providing the means whereby he will pay no tax at all? “What are you deing through these tax-ex empt securities, backed by a high—a very high progressive income tax rate? You are jot only drying up this investment fund, but you are dry- ing up this fund of initiative, of energy, of busi- ability. a ‘Is there anything more likely, means anything to engender class 1 prejudice, and is there anything mo: pring into general contempt a government Which not only permits such a situation but one which has actually created it?” if history hatred and re likel, Speaks His Appreciation We do not make a practice of ublishi the complimentary things that Ae Written ™ us, but the one we print below from one who signs himself “Interested Reader and Former Ww orld _War Private” commends the position of the Tribune on a subject upon which we have repeatedly written and are so pleased to know that we have at least found one appreciative reader who speaks his approval right out loud that we are presenting his letter, which follows: ‘I have just read your editorial in the Trib- | Une entitled, “Keep Out of Europe” and I would |like to shak \it.

The new’ postoffice building is rapidly nearing completion. It is being constructed by the First Na- tional bank, next adjoining “their bank building on the east. The post- office department has a ten-year lease on the location. The new Postmaster, Mr. Ness, has new fix- tures to add to the old in plentifully equipping the new quarters for the convenience of all concerned. new sign, “United States Postoffice, Powell, Wyoming,” hangs gracefully at the front of the handsome new building.

The first sale of any impor: tance was made at Evanston Mon- day, when a buyer for Eisman Bros. purchased the Painter & Co. clip for 40 cents per pound. This also in- cluded last year’s clip of this com- pany. Next followed the large Kinney clip at Cokeville, which brought 41% cents per pound, as did also the clips of John Inchauspe and Martin Etcheverry. Early in the spring as high as 45 cents per poynd was paid for wool, this sale having been made by Henry Brooks, of this city. se There {s approximately 1,000,000 pounds of wool stored in the Mills warehouse in Rock Springs, with similar amounts stored at Bitter Creek and along the Oregon Short Line railroad. Many flockmasters are predicting that the price will reach 43 cents before the end of the year. poet aes OO a SS as A Lost Hunter SHERIDAN.—Y. Z. David, forest ranger for the Dayton district, ac- companied by Louls Larson and Peter Parker, fire lookout for the district, who has been trapping near Black Mountain, will start from Dayton on another search for R. Standen, 72, father of Mrs. Richard ere, who has been lost in the Big Horn mountains since early in September. Mr. Standen went into the moun- tains alone on a hunting trip, and was overtaken by the heavy snow- storm of late September. He has never been found, though search has been made for him almost con- tinually since the time of his dis- appearance. Ranger David states that due to the melting of the snow during the last few days, he believes the searc! ers may be successful in finding the lost man. Bluejacket Injured GREYBULL.—Jim Bluejacket, the ball player who helped make the Midwest nine famous and who has played ball all over the country, was quite seriously injured by a fall from the top of of] tank 128, on which he was working. He suffered a couple of broken ribs, one of which may have punetured a lung causing considerable hemorrhage. He was reported resting quite well, considering his injuries, and it is believed he will soon recover if no complications set in. Bluojacket is a big man, weighing more than 200 pounds and in a fall of something like 30 feet it is sur- prising that he was not more serij- ously injured.
