The Lander Convention The Republican state convention at Lander | adjourned late yesterday afternoon after a two day session in which the utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed. It was the most en- thusiastic gathering held in Wyoming in years. The old war horses of Republicanism were present, as they always are, but in the actual work of the convention the younger element of the party was in charge. There has never been in any convention in Wyoming so high a per- centage of young Republicanism. And in ad- dition, the women of the party never attended and took so large a part as they did this year. It simply means that all the elements that contribute to the party’s success, and the pro- duction of the large normal Republican major- ity in Wyoming are in full working order and hhave confidence in party victory in 1924. In distributing the honors there were healthy contests carried to conclusions with perfect good humor and ready acquiesence in results. fact there were no sore spots nor bruises to be cared for. The people of Lander laid aside, certainly litics, if not religion in order to extend a ospitable welcome to the delegates from all over Wyoming who visited their city. No de- tail was omitted that would in any manner whatever, contribute to the facilitation of the business of the convention. or the enjoyment of the Republican hosts. In honor of the event in the city, its homes, its places of business, the convention hall, were all profusely decorated. Welcome was written all over the city from center to circumference. Literally the people opened their arms and took the convention in. The work of the convention, the addresses of the orators, the choosing of delegates and alter- nates, the selection of electors, was interspersed with social entertainments which added a charm- ing feature to.an ordinarily serious gathering. | The Republican party will long remember the Lander state convention. Financing Farm Mortgages January 1, 1920, census bureau showed $7,- 857,700,000 farm mortgage debt. The census enumerators only returned $4,-| 008,767,192, having secured returns on only about | aged debt. facts, m mortgage debts, estimated $10,500,000,000, half the mort Based on these January 1, 1924, The loans carried on farm mortgage debts are | follows: Carried mortgage bankers $2,450,000,000; companies, — $1,600,000,000; life ‘companies $1,672,900,000; fraternal insurance companies $2,884,846,313; federal land banks $799,596,834; joint stock land banks $392,638,853. This is a remarkable showing of small per -centage of farm mortgage debt mostly held by farm loan bankers and insurance companies with aggregate farm values as security of $70, 000,000,000, American agriculture is operated on about 15 per cent of borrowed capital and 85 per cent of capital owned by the farmers themselves, This is a remarkable contrast to all other lines of business, indust and corporations run on 4a borrowet by farm farm loan insurance distributed as ies apital. One, Way To Help Soil fertil lies at the very basis of human life. As soil grows poor the human race dies out, America is consuming and wasting its soil fertility at a rapid rate. We have come to the point where our land must be fed if it would feed us.” The question asks itself: Can soil be kept indefinitely fertile? The answer is found in land that has been cropped for 2,000 years and more and is yet very fertile. But such land is not to be féund except in stable} civilizations, Within the memory of men now living, com mercial fertilizers in America were hardly known. America now consumes over 6,000,000 tons of these every year. Of this, 80 per cent is from raw materials found in our own country, but the 20 pe nt we buy from abroad costs us more than $35,000,000 every year. This money goes mostly to Germany for pot- ash and to Chile for nitrates. Potassium, ni trogen and phosphorus are the three elements most needed for soil sustenance, and these are what we reek in commercial fertilizers. Raw phosphoras we have in abundance. Indeed, the world comes to us for it, because our deposits now open are very rich and easily worked. One way to help the farmer besides lending him money and marketing his products, is to insure him cheap fertilizers as a national policy, At the Year's End Agitation is under way in New York City for taking over that city’s street car lines by the municipality, During the last eight months, the receipts . In| average with 50 per’ cent or more of | | street car lines: fares have been increased and at the end of each year there is a deficit to be made up by the general taxpayer. Responsibility To Employes One ofthe most important problems in rail- road management involves responsibility toward employes. 7 Vice-President Paul Shoup of Southern Pa- cific Company, discussed this problem in an ad- dress before the Safety Council at San Francisco He stated as a mowt important fact that the officials of a successful railroad almost without exception have risen from the ranks. Another point made was that opportunities for advancement are sometimes blocked by in- considerate officials who have the power to ad- vance a worthy employe. “Those who have the power should at all times make the environment for the employe at- he tractive, comfortable and safe. “More and more the need for providing for old age, death, sickness and accident by insur- ance and pensions is becoming recognized.” Paul Shoup’s statement that an employe should not be required to break down the’ door of opportunity in order to get ahead, expresses the whole spirit of his talk. He also showed that practical ideas in safety and efficiency of the service are frequently ger- minated in the mind of a single employe. The great step in the promotion of such an idea, to make it the collective thought of the entire force, requires. understanding, apprecia- tion and co-operation among all employes. Demand For Silver It is now generally admitted England is it control of the situation so as to be able to hol& down the price of copper. India continues as a large silver consumer— our exports totaling $25,352,639 in first three months of 1924. India still dominates the silver markets and prices are higher even against selling by China. Of the exports from this country during the first three months of this year the greater part has gone to India despite China’s large January pur- chases. ~ This combined total is more than double that of the corresponding period of last year when it totaled $13,843,766 with silver around 67 cents | against 64 cents at present. In the first three | months of 1922 combined exports were $16,375,334 The London market fails to reveal any in- creased consumption by Europe. Apparently new silver coinage is being taken care of against old silver reserves although these do not amount to any appreciable totals. 7 International Restoration What statesmen and politicians, ministers, plenipotentiary, the League of Nations and par- liaments could not accomplish for world restoy tion, a committe of business experts has prob- | ably achieved. Alexander Hamilton’s report in 1790 upon |the finances of the United States rescued our nation from financial, chaos and ranks among the classics of finance. ve report of Charles Gates Dawes and his associates upon the rep- arations due from Germany will, if accepted, work out the economic redemption of Europe and be forever regarded as a maker of history and the originator of a new day for the world. Virtually five years of financial, industri and political warfare have passed since the w /of arms in Europe ended. Its nations have | wrangled. ever since, They long ago demon- strated their incompétence to settle the financial difficulties inherited from the war and increased by the treaty of peace. { Their fickleness and despair drove them to seek American advice as being the only counsel that could be trusted as competent and disin- terested. It is given in the competent and cour- ageous answer of General Dawes. He and his fellow experts display even great- er genius in cutting the Gordian knot of Euro- pean finance than he demonstra in devising a budget system for the United States. If this | work of the best minds of financial America be not adopted in the main, then nothing can be done for the reconstruction of Europe. | It remains for the nations to acquiesce and put into effect through the reparations commis. sion what governmental machinery was power- | less to put into operation, Trish vs. British ile the British budget provides for with- ving protection from a number of “key in- | dustries” the Irish budget imposes a protective | tariff on a number of articles heretofore free | | of duty. The Irish and English never did agree very well, While we think the English very foolish, we will be quite able to stand their free-tra in articles which we wish to sell to them, They | ph utomobiles on the free list. giving manu- |facturers a chance to flood their market with | those “made in U. 8. A.” We can endure that. | We have the finest automobiles in the world and | we manufacture me by far than all the rest | of the world put together, thanks to an adequate | Protective Tariff. If the British will not learn, | then they alone must suffer. But Ireland places a duty on boots and shoes, }many of which are sold there by our manufac. | turers, That does not look so good, but it | shows good sense on the part of the Irish. <A number of other articles which the Irish have | bought extensively of us will now have to pay | duty. This may affect these articles, but the Irish will mever build {up important industries as against the estab lished industries of other countries nnless through a protective tariff The rates of duty to be imposed a low, protection being in the nature of an experiment. If the experiment suc ceds, the rates will be increased. While the action of the English is more for our benefit, yet we feel that the Irish have taken the wiser course, - Conviction cannot our export trade in; of being made effective. The news from Berlin is that the coalition of (the and People’s parties will give a par- Uamontary mafority in the Reichs- tag. This news may be premature, but appearances are that the Ger- mans have made up thelr minds at last to recognize a fact accom- plished, that their obligations must be regarded as no longer capable of Svasion. Should this iead of the coalition be maintained one more proof will be given of the spirit of jreafonableness of the Dawes plan }and the sound good sense which re- jected any policy of vengeance or of | punitive finance, Some of the returns are very in- teresting: for instance, the Luden- dorffians, the ultra-reactionaries, have by no means developed their strength, while the Communiste have gained, as well as the National- ists. On the other hand, the Social- ists have lost to the Communists. This, however, does not seem ty abate the confidence of Herr Strese- mann’s followers that the final re turns will show a majority sufficient to uphold adoption of the plan which some have thought the last opening for European common sense, or in jother words, political and economic peace. We must, however, bear in mind two considerations: First, that at this moment we have not the final returns, and, second, that the Jattitude of France may make or }mar the fruition of the labors of jeneral Dawes and his associates. It is the second consideration that is the more important, France has shown a full appreciation of the working features of the Dawes plan and in various quarters has shown @ readiness to loosen economic com- pulsion, but the question of military occupation in the Ruhr is the hard nut to crack. It is only very enthu- siastic friends of France who will contend that trade and commerce can operate normally with military force on thelr back, and were it purely a matter of bookkeeping, probably most Frenchmen would be willing to admit that this had been j exemplified in the Ruhr occupation, |a proceeding for which the French had plausible excuse. But the mat- |ter is more than one of bookkeep- |ing. What arrests the momentum jin France of an acceptance of the |Dawes plap is @ consideration of (international politics that withow+ some kind of compulsion the Ger- mans would do nothing at all, /1 the Ruhr or elsewhere. The French argue that the occupation at ‘Teast showed the Germans that france was In earnest and that hay) ig been shown, they see now th.t some settlement must be made. Then, say the French, why remove from. the Germans all fear of possible military intervention or compulsion? This may be called a state of mind on the part of the French, but it is jjust what must be reckoned with, How may it be removed or soothed? To Americans, the Dawes report does not show much Illusion about the Germans, but it does show a conviction that the trade machine and the economic machine in Ger- many must be allowed to work un- hampered. The significance of this be lost on the Germans, who must understand that it means a responsibility on them to do their best in the utmost good faith. In consequence of this, the agreement of Italy, Great Brtiain Belgium and virtually the United States must convince the Germans that here is their last chance and such a conviction can be a guaranty to France that the Dawes plan will jbe carried out. } ing Motorway ? ?
