That their agitations against the industry are driving up prices to the consumer and increas- ing taxes for the taxpayer is a matter of second- ary consideration, After they have “hog tied” oil production and distribution with the shackles of political con- trol, they will prepare the setting for the next Che Casper Sunday Cribune The Casper Daily Tribune issued every evening and The Sunday Morning Tribune every Sunday, at Cas- per, Wyoming.

A: from despair. In a later generation such consolation came to David when he lost his little lad, for whom he had fasted and wept: “But now he is dead where- fore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. “And so it was with Job who, after passing through dire misfortunes, physical affliction and mental anguish, exclaimed: “For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth! And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold.” So it was with Paul, the great apostle of the resurrection, when he triumphantly declared, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is they victory?” And now, in the fullness of time, mankind has the Easter message in all its completeness, as given to the world by the Redeemer and His apostles. It is a message that answers “Yes” to the question that came down through the ages, event enjoyed by all. Cartoonists in the metropolitan press “have visualized for the public a ridiculous and pecu- liar type as representing the country editor’s personality but this writer shows that his read- ers know him and are not disillusionized. - “He is close to hig constituency. Further, it is a constituency with more leisure than- any other, more time for reading the news and opin-) ions of the day.” This makes the country paper) land continues to take a large part in earnest liscussion of public affairs fromr a disinterested tandpoint.

In a recent statement to the policy holders the president of the Metro: politan Life company said this, which is well worth the considera- ets of nearly $1,500,000,000 belong to its policyholders, ‘This huge sum of money is their savings, held for their protection. ‘Thus, it is not an abstract corporation that owns mil- lions of dollars of the securities of the electric light and power com- nies. The 246 life insurance companies doing business in the United States at the end of the year 1922 had 76,- 598,612 policies in force, insuring probably more than 50,000,000 in- dividuals. You, the policyholders in the Me- tropolitan and in the other insurance companies are the real governing body in this Republic because you elect Igelsiatures and executives. You are the foundation of political power. You have the right to fair treatment on the part of supervising and regulating officials. When an electric light and power corporation is unfairly treated, it is the people Plans for municipal, state or Fede eral ownership of public utilities often sound well as presented by their advocates. But before assent- bullding of highways, schools and in fact all community development. ou should be proud of your’ par- Ucipation in the financial and social Progress of your country. The municipality, the state and the Fed- eral government have enough to do in financing the proper government agencies. The late President Hard- ing said truthfully: There should be less government in business and more business in government. ‘The ownership of the electric Night and power companies is now in‘ the hands of more than 2,000,000 direct investors in public utility stocks, and indirectly in the hands of mil- lions more of bank depositors and holders of Ufe insurance policies through their ownership of public utility bonds.

Daugherty refuses the committee access to his books and stands upon his constitutional rights. The Wheeler committee has decided to rite Daugherty before the bar of the senate on a charge of contempt.
