The Naked Charge and Proof If any high officials recently connected with the government or any such officials, now con- nected, have been unfaithful to the trust placed in them, they should promptly be brought to justice. And if the leasing of the naval oil re- serve, known as Teapot Dome, bears the taint of fraud or graft or is sullied in any other manner whatever, it should be cancelled. At present, the press is filled with reflections upon former prominent government officials and big industrial captains, which if true would os- tracise all concerned from all circles of respect- ability. This much, must be remembered. It is presi- * dential year and the minority political party, being the party of criticism and also the one that feasts and thrives upon calamity, makes the most of its opportunity to assault the adminis- tration in power. That there is abundant exag- geration in the Democratic charges respecting the Teapot Dome goes without saying. This party always presents claims it never hopes to prove and always considers itself in luck to prove anything at all. : To bring honorable men, high in the govern- ment, under suspicion is always part of Demo cratic propaganda. Never in all past experience has the case proved out as flagrant as pictured in the opposition publicity. The Democrats would “have the country believe that the present government is honeycombed with graft and corruption. Such is not the case; but if this government bears the slightest taint of rottenness in the transactions of any depart- ment, the Republican party will clean its own back alleys, as it has always done. Meanwhile there must be some real proof forthcoming and less of unsustained suspicion and innuendo. The years 1916 to 1920 are remembered only too well for wrongdoing and inefficiency in high places for a party like the Democratic party to raise a hue and cry about anything. The country pins its faith to Calvin Coolidge and will await his action in punishing fraud and wrong if ‘such have been perpetrated. If this government has harbored any Benedict Arnolds rest assured they will receive the punishment they merit. The Canyon Highway The opening of Wind River canyon marks an era in the transportation history of Wyoming. It connects by easy grade two great and produc tive sections of the state. It affords convenient and comfortable travel, summer and winter, to those who go either upon business or pleasure. It increases the value of all property along the Yellowstone highway, near or remote, because of the convenience of access. It aids the market- ing of products and the exchange of commodities among the towns and cities thus brought into closer touch. The building of the highway through this can- yon forges another principal link in the great park-to-park highway scheme that brings the magnificent national scenery and playgrounds of the west within easy reach of the resident of the east who has no such attractions in his own country. This gigantic undertaking does another thing. It reveals the enterprise, the ingenuity, the am- bition of our people to accomplish large works. Ta balk not at discouragements and stumbling blocks in the pathway of progress. It fixes the quality of our people, to have things commensu- rate with the future greatness of our state, while we are yet young in years and few in num- bers. If we do no more in highway marks a great ment. many years the canyon piece of public improve. Reduce Costs and Taxes The state will very generally a approve the sentiments expressed by C irman Spencer of the Republican state central committee at the Republican dinner at the Plains hotel in Chey enne the other evening. If there is one matter that touches everybody in the whole country, if not dé@rectly, then indirectly it is what they con- tribute for the support of government, Federal taxes are not the beginning and ending of what the citizen pays. These taxes are small in comparison with what he is called upon to pay . for school, municipal, county and state purposes. - Mr. Spencer calls upon all citizens to demand - of their officiul representatives in all these pnb- | lic activities to cut taxes and public coats to the { bone.and afford all possible relief to taxpayers, | to project no new enterprises or extensive pub- lic improvements until the taxpayers have recov- i jered their financial equilibrium. Mr. Spencer's remarks follow: “Many issues—some real-and many: unreal— rock will be raised for public consumption by the pol-|butcherea hogs.

And what is fifty miles to the house wife who owns a car, when she knows where she can drive and get ten dozen strictly fresh eggs laid yesterday? The hard surfaced highway pays for itself in real money every year. It's not in @erman marks, but real American gold. It brings more to the farmer and saves the house- wife in town, so that she can set a better table for less money. Casper has paid Colorado thousands of do!l- lars for fresh vegetables in the last five years. Why do it any longer? The same money we have paid to the Colorado farmer would have paved the highways for miles and miles and miles.

Briefly stated the story is this: Mr. Bok, who has been a great advocate of the league of nations, offered a prize of $50,000 sometimes stated as $100,000, for the best plan for promoting world peace. Managers of the contest were appointed. — ; % When citizens wrote to these managers for in- formation concerning the conditions of the con- test, they received such information from. the managers but also received almost immediately in a separate envelope a letter from “The League of Nations NonTartisan association” and the “Woman’s Pro-League. Council” ‘saying that the American Peace award had referred: the inquirer’s name to them as one desiring to com- pete for the peace prize. These league of nations advocates were anxious to supply. data and liter- ature to help in the preparation of manscripts for submission to the peace award managers: Thus was proven nclose operating arrange- | - ment between the managers of the Bok scheme and the league of nations advocates. The judges chosen were all, or. nearly all, known advocates of the league. There were over 22,100 manuscripts submitted and if the judges passed upon all’ of them, it would require the reading of ‘one every. minute during eight working hours of every day dur ing the time available. These manuscripts were permitied a maximum of 5,000 words. The judges rendered-a decision that was de- clared to be “unanimous,” thus making the con- clusion unavoidable that each member of the committee had read all the manuscripts and had all agreed that this one was the best out of 22,100. If this was the case, it is the first. time in history that a number of men have reached an unamimous agreement in selecting the best out |, of 22,100 entries in a contest. It was the understanding that the identity of contestants was to be secret, but while the con- test was in progress, Mr. Bok wrote a magazine article in which He deckared that some of the most prominent men and women in the ‘country | had participated in the contest—thus indicating | that some one had knowledge of the identity of some of the contestants. Out of all these facts some serious charges | have grown. Among these are:. That the judges were prejudiced in favor of some plan that would involve the league of nations; that league of nations.advocates were given special opportu- nity to place their propaganda in the hands of contestants; that the judges did not read and consider all the manuscripts; that the whole scheme was but a part of propaganda designed to get the United States into the league of na- tions.
