Royce, member of the city council for the second ward, upon direct information filed by the county attorney of Nx trona county, for violation of the liquor laws, rather took the breath of most citizens. : incident also caused more than caswal inquiry among the people of the second ward as to the character of man they had ‘selected to repre- sent their interests in the city government. The county attorney certainly knows what he is about when he specifies five counts in his information—possession of liquor, maintaining) a nuisance at the storage warhouse which he managed until very recently using it as a store- house for liquor, selling liquor and delivering liquor. County attorneys do not. make such charges lightly. They ure fully aware of the |) seriousness of such charges. Unverified stories of similar import to the official charges have floated about the city for some months. Royce is chairman of. the police committee of the city council and enjoys confidential relations with that department of the city government. But it remained for other agencies to sniff Mr. Royce out and make the arrest. If Mr. Royce is guilty as charged, he is not a proper man, to have a voice in the city govern- ment, to make the laws for others and direct their enforcement. A person with any such pow- er must first be law-abiding himself and set an example to others in obedience of them. In the first place he should so conduct himself and his business that no such charge and no such gos- sip could lie against his private conduct. His case will not likely be heard by the court until March of the incoming year, ninety days away. The people of the city are righteously indignant over the breaking out of a liquor scandal so close to the top of the city govern- ment, which they believed to be free from sus- picion in this respect. The strange part, of the whole incident is that the generality of people believe Royce guilty as charged. We would not go so far as to make any such assertion, for no man is guilty in the eyes of the law, until so proven. However, good taste and good sense suggest | that while the cloud of bootlegging hangs over! Royce, that he be granted leave of absence from | his public duties in the city government and that the powers and functions heretofore ex-| ercised by him be transferred to others until he} can come back with clean hands. He is not to be condemned out of hand. But no one with any degree of pride in his home town | affairs will sit patiently under the administra- tion of his public business with an alleged boot- legger participating. Sir Arthur's Advice Sir Arthur Balfour, one of Great Britain’s captains of industry, located in Shefield, and} a manufacturer of cutlery which he would like! to sell to the people of the United States tells! the American people through some recent news-| paper interviews that “we (the English) have nothing to fear from American competition ex- cept in certain specialized lines, because your cost of production is too high, you cannot com- pete in the world’s markets; you must cut cost | of production; if you do not buy you cannot sell; | your high tariff makes it difficult and some- times impogsible for other nations to sell to you therefore we can not buy from you; being a great creditor nation, you must reconsider your economic policy.” This is another voice from across the seas telling the United States what it should do. If, according to Sir Arthur, Great Britain has noth- ing to fear from American competition, why is Sir Arthur so solicitous about “our high cost of production,” “high wages” and our protective tariff? If all these things really work to the advantage and benefit of Great Britain, then no Englishman should compla This piece of advice sounds very much like another seductive appeal to the United States to abandon its protective tariff and buy more from Great Britain. Of course Sir Arthur, and all oth- ers like him, would be pleased to sell more of their steel profucts and textile goods to the United States. If Sir Arthur conld have his war the people of the United States would buy all their manufactured goods from Great Britaiy and close down all the American mills and fac tories. Then Sheffield and Birmingham wonld ates and American wage earners would he out ; eighth of the national income. It means a cost of The} ut up the prices of their goods in the Tnited 1} 1,500,000 unemployed wage-earners ‘in Great Brit- nm. There are very few now in the United States, Sir Arthur does not tell us that the king’s ministry in London has recently called a parliamentary election in England, believing that English manufacthrers and English wage- earners will be submerged by foreign competi- tion in England’s markets, unless protection is accorded them. It is not surprising that Sir Arthur Balfour, an Englishman, desires to have the United States open up its markets to Sheffield and Birmingham manufacturers, but it is surprising |that any number of American citizens desire to (bring upon their own country a similar disaster. The Cost Per Capita It cost each man,woman and child in the Unit- ed States nearly $ for taxes to support the lserersvent last year and of this about $35 went lin pay to government employes, according to a research report of the national industrial con- ference board. In discussing the growth and volume of taxes this report says: “Total taxes paid in the United States in 1922 aggregated $7,061,000,000. “This amounted to 12.1 per cent or nearly one- ($61.32 to every man, woman a nd child. Each per- ‘son had to contribute the income of six and one- fourth weeks to support the government in 1922, |as compared with three and one-third weeks be- fore the war. | “State and local taxes formed more than half |—5S8 per cent of the total taxes. “The public payroll included nearly 3,400,000 persons. Every eleven workers, sixteen years of jage and over, supported one public employe. “The cost of salaries of public employes aggre- gated $3,800,000,000 or $91 for every person ten years of age and over gainfully employed or $35 for every man, woman and child. “Direct and indirect taxes paid by farmers in 1922 were 16.6 per cent of their income. Those |paid by the rest of the community were 11.9 per Jcent of their income. “Real and personal property to the value of | 354,000,000,000 or about one-fifth of the national wealth was exempt from taxation in 1921.” | The Newest Republic Turkey is the latest addition to the family of world republics. This will make three cardinal and significant gestures toward self-government in Europe since the World War— Russia and Germany being the other two. The smaller re- publics so-called, are not included here. The Ottoman empire has had a b! For centuries it was the greatest military power in Europe, touching Africa, India, Russia and even Great Britain. With the Koran in one hand land the sword in the other, it came very near annihilating the Christian nations and estab- ishing Mohammedanism all over Europe. | It’s decline began in the middle of the six- teenth century, and since then its history has ‘been one long series of assassinations, tortures, \murders, strangling of brothers and slaughters lof Christians. Yet because Constantinople and |the Bosphorus were the scenes of jealous con- \troversies between nations, Turkey until the |middle of the nineteenth century had a tremend- ous influence on the history of the world. It was ‘a peril to western civilization and to Christ- anit Czar Nicholas first described Turkey or the sultan as the “sick man of Europe,” who must be \destroyed. For seventy years since that remark {the sultan of Turkey grew sicker and sicker, yet survived. Turkey played England against Russia, and | between the two managed to keep possession and ‘control of Constantinople, although, after var- ious wars, losing much of its territory the Rer- lin congress sliced off a large part of Turkey's territory dividing it between Austria and Rus- |sia, and setting up Balkan states. For many years reforms were promised by various sultans, but none materialized. Armen ian massacres. Wholesale butcheries, aroused the civilized world. There was scarcely a district in |Asia Minor that did not run red with blood; yet no one was punished. The sultan won out al- ways because the powers ware afraid one or the other of them might get control of Constanti- jnople. ‘ i The kaiser flirted with the sultan, reorganized the Turkish army and posed as the special friend of the Mohammedans. Turkey entered the World war on the side of Germany and Austria, part]; because of gratitude, partly to prevent Russia from capturing Constantinople. Great Britain kept her eye on Constantinople, fearing both the kaiser and the czar. Thus, the politico-eco- nomic game of diplomacy progressed until the close of the war and the collapse of Turkey. The yqung Turk party started back in 1908, took part in the World War, but rebelled against the prospective partition of Turkey among the powers and the loss of Turkish nationality. Thelr ideals were: Liberty, independence, no autocratic ruler and the promotion of Islam. They had dreams of a strong nation, an advanced Turkish Jon. Then came Musapha Kemal Pasha, the An- gora government, war with Greece over Smyrna as a protest against the terms of the Paris treaty and the subsequent secret treaties, all looking to some economic exploitation of | Turkey. Fr ute treaty with the Kemal ionalists, for which Lord Curzon bit- terly arrainged that country. It was a quarrel over oil in Asiatic Turkey. The old Turkish parliament at Cons was dissolved, the sultan dethroned antinople and the national assembly Angora set up as the gov | ernment of new Turkey. In 1919 Kemal was prac- tically ruler. The two great battles between the Greeks and Turks in March and July 1921, sealed the fate of the old Ottoman empire and helped to solidify the new government at Angora, already with a new constitution and a proclamation of a new pact demanding -political freedom, justice and economic independence. Unlike other republics, the Angora “republic” has but one ageney, the national assembly. pos- sessing all three powers—executive, legislative and judicial. All persons over twenty years of |age vote. The new Turkish “republic” has no monarch, respects the “caliph” but will not fight for him, is in sympathy with their Moslem broth- ers and establishes Angora as the center of the Moslem world. In this new “republic” are the states of Thrace, Smyrna and Constantinople, with a national assembly, a national covern- ment, democracy and independer The fate of this new “republic” inexperienced and untried, facing several nations grabbing oil and other concessions, is problematical. The Lausanne conference of this year between Tur- ey and the powers was a quarrel over oil con- cessions.

Governor Gifford Pinchot of Penn- sylvania charges that after the an- thracite mine operators granted the Tecent wage increase to the miners at his suggestion, they proceeded to “pass on™ the cost of the raise, am- ounting to sixty cents a to! of “absorbing it” themse!ves, that in consequence the public bears the burden of the change In the wage schedule. Though this is unwel- come news it is not surprising. The operators have merely been running true to form. But even so, whera has Gifford been all the time? If memory is not treacherous, when ‘he governor of Pennsylvania effected a settle- ment of the hard coal strike, he an- nounced that the wage increase was not to be passed on. There was to be a change. He was going to see to that. That was part of his job. Did he find the task too big for him, or did other things interest him more as political capital; The whole things seems to be rather up to Pinchot.—Detroit Free Press. Once and Now It must be that the war or its aftermath has made a difference with William G. McAdoo's ways of thinking. Here he is a presidential candidate in 1923 expressing the opinion that the government should pay a bonus to the former service men and that, in spite of such pay- ment, it may reduce taxes a litt'e. But back in 1917 there was Mr. Adoo, a# Secretary of the Treasury devising a war insurance plan that was to avold not only a bonus but pensions. As Secretary of the Treasury ho was in; as a presidential candidate he is out. As Secretary of the Treasury he sought a plan; as a presidential candidate he is seeking votes, or seeking not to alienate any. His advocacy of the bonus now as a presidential candidate nat- ura’ly impeaches his plan of war in- surance when Secretary of the Trea- sury and {t raises the undesirable presumption that, if he were again in office he might be up to the same old tricks.—Springtield Union. What About the People? When it comes to the matter of a bonus to soldiers, does anyone ask what the people of the United States Does anybody care? All one ever hears about is what the soldiers want, or what the American Legion demands—and apparent'y that ends it. This is not to say that the American people as a whole disapprove the bonus, but only that no one knows and that no one ap- Pears to care whether they do or not. Yet the bonus will be granted or refused, according as the congress and the president view the genera! situation, Mr. Harding very cour- ageously vetoed the bonus, on the plea that the country could not at that time stand the cost. It now appears that there is a surplus tm- pending and the question arises whether we prefer to grant a bonus to the so'diers, or*to enable a decid ed reduction in the public's tax bur- dens. What does the public think? Which would it prefer? It isn't a thing to decide off hand. The pub- lc wants to do whatever is right and handsome for the soldiers—within its means. It also wants to do what- ever it can for its own relief. It would be intesesting to know just how the* American people, with time backers are now in other camps.

ACTED TOO QUICKLY ROCK SPRINGS—A number woolgrowers of Western indications last week, grabbed the first offer from the wool buyers who visited this region, and thereby lost several cents a pound for their clips. Several Green River valley, ville and Kemmerer wool growers disposed of their clips at from 35 to 36% cents, while a number of others who were not “stampeded,” man- aged to get 41 cents and better. Others are still holding for a still better price which they confidently expect to get before many weeks. —— CHANGING RIGHT OF WAY LANDER—The Burlington raill- way is preparing to change the loca- tion of from 10 to 12 miles of its track near Lysite to escape the danger of floods and washouts. The preliminary bond was fixed at $10,000 in district court here. A. E. Stirrett represented the railway company, and Philip 8. Winter rep- resented a number of the ranchmen a property owners whose lands are to be crossed by the new line which will be built as soon as the right-of-way is completed. Exploit Casper Products ‘The asbestos chimneys invented and patented by Fred Patee are re ceiving national recognition by the asbestos trade of the United States. First the United States government through the reclamation service asked for a sample of the block which was sent to Washington for tert, and after being tested was adopted and used in all government buildings erected in the cil fict in central Wyoming. Now the dig manufacturing concerns both east and’ west are after contracts for the manufacture of these blocks, end other forms of asbestos chimneys under Mr. Patee's patents.
