Asks For Statehood The territory of Hawaii is one of the’ most prosperous sections of the United States. Tt is not merely self-sustaining but it turns into the United States treasury many millions of dol- Jars annually. Since the organization of the territorial form of government in Hawaii, it has paid into the United States treasury more than $100,000,000. During the same period it has received from the | federal government only $16,000,000. United States internal revenue collections in Hawati haye amounted to more than $72,000,000. The ex- pense of collecting this has been only a little) more than $500,000. The records of the United States internal revenue office showed that Ha- waii in 1921 paid more federal taxes than any one of 17 states and in 1922 it paid more federal taxes than any one of 19 states. Its federal in- come tax averaged $5.67 per capita. In United 5 customs it contributes more than a mil- liow*Mollars a year. This is clear gain for the United States. Al- though by an act of congress Hawaii is placed on a.par with all states and territories in the matter of federal appropriations, it has not re- ceived a cent of money from the United States for Jocal purposes. It has never received a dol- Jar from the federal government for highways, as in the cas of states and other territories. It has built its own roads and maintained them under local taxes, which for the current year amounted to $9,569,000. It has received no fed- eral appropriations for agricultural purposes or vocational training or any other of the pur- poses for which the federal government appro- priates money for state aid. It is the only terri- tory which is not only self-sustaining, but con- tributes largely to the upkeep of the United | States government. Of this record the people of Hawaii are very proud. The people of Hawaii are also proud of the fact that they were admitted into the Union us a territory upon their own petition. They were not added to the United States as were the Phil- ippines, by reason of any war which placed them in the position of being conquered territory. They petitioned to become a part of the United States and when they were admitted as a ter- ritory they had a government already set up, well organized and self-sustaining, and ever: since then they have been a highly developed, self-governed, self-sustaining territory. The ter- ritorial legislature at its regular session in 1923 took action looking to admission to statehood. The most serious problem which they have is that of alien population. These aliens insist upon giving their children education in alien languages under alien teachers, to which the Hfawaiian territorial government seriously ob- jects. The last legislature passed laws for sup- ervision of alien language schools, which are attended by 17,000 children, out of a total of 48,000 school children. These laws are being op- posed by the Japanese and test cases are now pending in the territorial courts. The territory of Haw: has just finished its most prosperous year. Deposits in their banks are the largest in the history of the territory. The tonnage of vessels calling at Hawaiian ports for the year*was 412,000 tons greater than any previous y It grew a sugar crop worth $63,000,000 and a pineapple crop of $29,000,000, besides producing a wealth of other agricultural products. Eternal Vigilance From the fact that the American people have short memories, a great danger confronts the country. Less than a generation ago, we were in the throes of a panic brought on by the workings of the Wilson Democratic tariff which threw down the barriers of protection to American farmers and American industries in general. The whole country suffered for years from that, debauch of free trade, so that it might have been surmised that the country would hesitate to Yote itself into the poor house very soon again. ‘ The unfortunate split in the Republican party | in 1912 let the party of free trade into power again, and the same tactics were being pursued | lage of the major parties. Forgetful of past de- |bacles under free trade management , nity to sport its virtues was under the second ;sold as low as thirty-eight cents per bushel, but- |\demestic, carried ‘on under its provisions cer- tainly speaks loudly in approval of its schedules. Nevertheless there is‘a propaganda being car- ried on throughout the nation, more especially in the west, attributing the low price of wheat to this tariff, while at the same time assert- ing that this same tariff works to make every: | thing else high in price. A rather foolish avowal ; it seems to anybody who understands. Why the thirty cent tariff on a bushel of wheat should reduce the price of that commod- ity below the dollar mark, while one cent. on sugar should add four cents to the price of that is beyond ordinary intelligence. Plainly the farmer is being worked by the wily free traders. During the world war the tariff went out of the public eye. It was no longer made subject for | di sion. The war made prices high, and the party of Woodrow Wilson profited by it. Today we are entering another epoch of nat- ional life. Again the tariff is being made one of the questions which marks the line of cleav-| the coun- try seems in danger of falling into the trap set by propagandists for a low tariff. The previous time a low tariff had opportu- Cleveland administration when congress and the presidency came into the hands of the party of free trade. It is plainly the intention of the Democrats to make an issue of the tariff in 1924. Cordell Hull, Democratic National Chairman, has come out in a statement condemning the Fordney tariff, laying all the troubles of the farmer to this enactment alone. The fallacy of such a state- ment is plain on its face, and yet just such pronouncements in 1892 led to a change in the tariff policy of our government, the conse quences being the most disastrous panic the country ever saw. Throughout those years wheat ter at seven cents per pound, poultry for five cents per pound live weight, eggs at eight cents per dozen, and other things in proportion. - Is it desirable to bring back that state of af- fairs to his country? The thoughts of such a catastrophe gives one the shudders; and yet we are likely to encounter just this sort of thing unless the honest men and women get up and hustle, and see to it that this crazy plotting is nipped in the bud. A campaign of education should begin at once before the false doctrines of the political mountebanks get thoroughly rooted in the minds of unthinking people. It requires far less ef- fort before than after the damage has been done. The public press, all that part of it that has our national welfare at heart, should begin the work of enlightening the people as to the true inwardness of the free traders in making their onslaught on the protective tariff. This battle of enlightenment must be carried into every home in the land, not a stone being left unturned to combat the evil influence of the propagandists of national disaster in the form of free trade. No time should be lost. It matters not how often the: free traders have fallen down in attentpts in the past, the story of protection to American farming, to American manufacturing, must be told over and over aagin. Eternal vigil- ance is the price of liberty. It is also the price of American protection. It is the price we pay to keep the United States prosperous and free from financial disaster. Calvin the Silent A number of newspapermen, unable to get ad- vance copies of Woodrow Wilson’s armistice day speech went to the radio office to take it down. At the appointed time a stentorian voice announced, “Ex-President Wilson will now ad- dress you.” The scribes waited for about ten minutes but heard nothing. Then one remarked, “That can’t be Woodrow Wilson—it’s Cal Cool- idge.” Recognize His Hand While the president has maintained a com- mendable silence respecting his recommenda- tions to congress until such time as it becomes appropriate for him to speak, the Washington newsgathers hold the view that they have au- thority for committing him to approval of the Mellon plan for tax reduction. They assert that the Mellon plan is the president's plan and he will embody it in his message to congress at the opening of the session in December. It is wholly unlikely that Mr. Mellon would take so important a step-in policy, as he has, without the president’s sanction. The president is to be congratulated, if the secretary’s recommendations foreshadow his own recommendations to congress. Mr. Mellon has worked out a plan of tax re- vision which would lighten the load of millions of taxpayers, as well as abolish some of the re- maining pestiferous nuisances of the war taxes. Whether adopted in its entirety or modified by congress the secretary’s assurance that such a reduction is now. practicable imposes upon con- gress the inescapable obligation to make it. President Coolidge could not break his silence more laudably than in advocacy of such a mea- sure. If he presses its adoption he may rest con- fident that he will be gratefully accredited by the country with doing his duty, whatever dis- position of the proposal may be made by con- gress. The president could not more strengthen his administration now than by putting up to con- gre: the question whether it will reduce the taxes of the people or increase them in order to pay a soldiers’ bonus, " The American Flag Works which endure come from the soul of the people. The mighty in their pride walk alone to destruction. The humble walk hand in hand with Providence to immortality. Their works survive. When the people of the colonies were defending their liberties against the might of kings, they chose their banner from the design set in the firmament through all eternity. The flags of the great empires of that day are gone, ut the stars and stripes remain. It pictures the | vision of a people whose eyes were turned to as blasted the business of the nation under the|the rising dawn. It represents the hope of a Wilson tariff. Fortunately for the free traders} the war in furope broke just as the low tar- iff was getting in its work, consequently the na- tion, for a time, was saved from a great busi- ness depression because of a sudden immense foreign demand which kept American factories and ‘farms on the alert to keep up with orders. Our own entrance into the war added to the business activity and there was little chance father for his posterity. It was never flaunted for the glory of royalty, but to be born under | it is to be a child of a king, and to establish a home unde? jt is to be the founder of a royal jhouse. Alone of all flags it expresses the sov- jereignty of the peole which endures when all else passes away. Speaking with their voice it has the sanctity of revelation. He who lives un- der it and is loyal to it is loyal to truth and for a low tariff to damage the country, The war has been over five years. The world is fast getting back to its normal condition, and the question of tariff-is again at the fore. front. The Ferdyey tariff las beeu much criticised, justice everywhere. He who lives under it and jis disloyal to it is a traitor to the human race everywhere.

Tariff Reduced WHEATLAND. — Discriminatory rates against Wheatland cattle into Casper, as compared with shipments from western Nebraska, will be a thing of the past after December 23, according to a letter received by the transportation committee of the Lions club from George F. Jones, general agent for the O. B. & Q at Cheyenne. ‘The new rate effective December 23 is 28% cents per hundred pounds, as compared with a previous rate cf 36% cents. This, it is reported, places this territory on a par with the western Nebraska district on cattle. Action to secure such reduction was begun by the Lions club com- mittee in July. Big Still Captured RAWLINS.—Sheriff A. A. San- ders and two assistants returned to Rawlins late Saturday night after a2 busy day spent about 18 miles south of this city, where they located a large still and a quantity of whiskey. The still which ts rated at ap- proximately 60 gallon capacity had been in operation only a short time before it was located by the officers and there was about 25 gallons of the finished product which was seized by the officers before destroy- ing the camp which had been dug in the side of the bank making a fair sized room. Several barrels of mash was also destroyed. According to the officers’ the stil! and other equipment which |was being used in the manufacture of the whiskey was one of: the best that has been located in this section during the past few months, and although !t was not the largest that has been taken by the local officers it 1s estimated that it was capable of turning out bétween 50 and 75 gallons of whiskey per week. No one was with the outfit at the time the officers made their appear- ance, and it is evident that whoever was in charge of the plant seen the officers coming and made their es- cape as the still had been in opera- tion only a short time previous to their arrival.

Hubner et aba ny West Resigns SHERIDAN.—Resignation of Dean Samuel E. West, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal church, as presi- dent of the Sheridan Ministerial @emeciation, and election of Dr. George F. Klein, pastor of the Meth- odist Episcopal church to fill out his unexpireed term, occurred at the meeting of the association in the study of St. Peter's church. In tendering his resignation, Dean West announced that he felt called on to take that action because sf the active opposition of some of the members toward the healing mission held in St. Peter's church last week. No member of the association had voiced any opposition to the mission in the two meetings held prior to November 12, and at the meeting held November 5, all had given their unofficial endorsement and approva! to the work, he asserted. ——$————_— Rawlins-Casper Bus RAWLINS.—The Wyoming Pub- lic Service commission has just granted Robert W.

To appreciate the real tm; For the Public Good Last spring two young business women of this city in which I live were notified of the approaching death of their father. The father desired to see them, they were short of money, and though they owned thelr own home, they found it im- type. There was a chance of a loan possib'e to get a loan of the ordinary from one of the associations only. I do not know if they secured the needed money that way or some other, but I do know they had no réason to criticise the city as they aid in their anxiety. The city is allright. They had just failed to g0 Into a savings and loan, a bulld- ing and. loan association, or to ar- range 2 definite savings account.

That reserve fund would have brought safety in these cases. You may think such conditions will never con- front you, but you do not know. You had better play safe. In the course of my professional work, I have seen numberless homes of struggling young fathers and mothers.
