The people of the state are perfectly aware of the ne of choosing successor io the lamented nor who has just passed from among us. They are also aware of the brief space of time remaining before the election oc- curs. Nothing can go wrong, while all neces details are being arranged to fill the va chair. It is particularly distressing and out of all semblance of pd taste that partisans in yar- the state are pressing loc andidates for the exalted offi yvernorship of Wyoming is not at this time, nor at any time, a matter of spoils to be rded to some political henchman of either y. It is an executive office of great import- quires have been and of for public service. It is an insult to those dead and a reflection upon | those living that crossroads politicians, possess ing none of the qualities entitling them to be mentioned in nnection with the goverporship, are put forward and urged with indecent clamor. There are many questions to be determined, before the manner of the selection of a successor to Governor Ross, can be ally ascertained. The laws of Wyoming, covering the present con- tingency are vague and very uncertain. An illegal ov unauthorized step would be fatal. There is wide difference in legal opinion as to procedure and until this divergence is brought to a com- mon point of yiew it is not likely either party will take action. It is understood, however, that both political nd their le, advisers are engaged g the situation and both parties will proceed under whatever plan is evolved. The people of Wyoming will wait patiently, and their interest is greatest in proper action and wise sé ion of candidates from which to choose the governor. Counting the Cost What about this question of government own- ership of railroads? The demand of the LaFol- lette Socialist platform for government owner- ship of railroads among the problems pre: sented for the consideration of the voters this year. What does it mean in cost to the American people? i When the Republican party assumed control of national affairs in 1921, the public debt amounted to $24,0000,000,000, now about $21,000,- 000,000, The Interstate Commerce Commission's valuation of the railroads of the United States, whether accurate or not, was+ approximately 000,000,000. Therefore, the taking over of the railroads would double the public debt making *40,000,000,000 burden for the present and future senerations to pay in time. By wise economies the Republican party has reduced the public debt during the past four years by. $2,400,000,000. What chance would fu ture administrations have to reduce ‘the enor- mous burden of public debt under government ownership and operation of railroads? None. In the two years when the Wilson administra tion controlled and operated the railways of the country, the cost to the public, treasury over and above receipts from operation, was $2,600,000,- 000. Moreover, the Wilson administration in creased freight rates by 25 per cent and passen ger rates by 20 per cent. Add to a national debt burden more than $20, 600,000,000 above what is now owed; take from the people the benefits they now derive from taxes actually paid into the treasury by the rail- roads, totalling many millions of dollars, and what is left but additional burdens in taxes which the people would be obliged directly to pay? Nuisance Taxes Ended American women who recall the days when the purchase of a pair of stockings meant the paying of a 10 per cent “luxury” tax will prob- ably recall that it was a Republican revenue measure that abolished the tax. It likewise abol ished the tax on millinery, underwear, kimonos, petticoats, waists and other wearing apparel as well as on the ice cream soda. beauty cream and cand, Today neither a reducing corset nor a box of rouge ix considered a Iuxury.

In brief the Republican tax measure of 1921 lifted a burden from the pocketbooks of the American people which had been irritating them enacted. Sen: Cut the Cost is History repeats itself.

Of thi§ $16,000,000,000 came from taxation and $24,000,000,000 from the sale of bonds. Taxes were the highest in the history of the United States. duri has app: In his message to the special session of con-| Shoshone project, at Powell_--$ 5,193,482.00 “I know of no more pressing problem than’ to| North Platte reclama- gress on April 11, 1921, President Harding said: restrict our national expenditure within the|_ © limits of our national income and at the same | ®¥ time measurably lift the burdens of war taxa- tion from the shoulders of the American people.| 7, The unrestrained tendencies to heedless expendi- tures and the attending growth of public in-| Yenowstone '5| debtedness, extending from federal authority to that of state and municipality * * * constitute | Air the most dangerous phase of government to- day.” The revenue bill passed in the fall of the same year was the first tax-reduction statute on the books for more than a decade.

The third candidate points to a record of actual performance, On August 11, 1921, President Hard- ing invited the governments of Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan to participate in a con- ference on the limitation of armament. As a re- sult of this conference, actual treaties were signed relating to: 1—The limitation of naval armament, 2—The use of submarines and poison gases, 8—Insular possessions and insular dominions In the region of the Pacific ocean (the four. power treaty). 4—Principles and policies in matters concern- ing China, 5—Chinese customs tariffs.
