Do the assessors of Wyoming in convention assembled mean what they say in their resolu- tions about doing the work of the offices them- sclves and abolishing deputies and other hired help, or are they simply handing out a little yule- tide bunk to the beloved taxpayers? If they mean it three cheers for them. If they have actually awakened to a realizing sense of the necessity of economy in public office and reduction of over- head in government, and believe it is time to flee the wrath of an exploited and long-suffering public, we are h them and so is everybody else. These gentlemen have it in their hands to be mighty effective in the direction they have mark- ed out for themselves and backed by a board of county commissioners who will at the same time look upon public tax money as sacred and spend it sparingly, rather than hunt.new ways to increase the collections, taxpayers*may look to the future with some hope. The people of Wyoming will hold the assessors to a strict accountability of the promises con- tained in’ their resolutions. They will support them in their good work of economy. They will call them good officers and good citizens. Finding Fancy Names Investing crimes with fancy names does not re- lieve the criminal of guilt, and on no account should it excuse him from facing punishment be- fitting h¢s acts. : Take for instance the Illinois preacher who fn company with his “sweetheart” murdered his wife and her husband in order That they could the better get away with an intimacy that had been suspected by the victims. Attorneys for the mau have discovered that he is suffering from what is called Alzheimer’s disease and will set it up as 1 defense when the murder case is heard. Alzheimer’s disease is a so-colled discovery in the realms of psychology and psychiatry, so re- cent, that the text books do not contain any ac- count of it. Those who pretend to explain the “disease” say it mania which attacks, not nll, but some men, approaching middle life ren- Jering them “indiscreet What bunk? -Why classify i name in the circumstances? Some peo. pl from childhood to senility. Others « t way in the early part of life and then learn better. There is no half way point at vhich they become foolish again. If there is there usually some reasonable explanation. The Tin murderers are suffering from no other disease than pure cussedness and a desire to have each other, even at the cost of murder- ing people who stood in their way. This was more than indiscretion. It was crime, punishable by the law. ' | Then ,there is the « is indiscretion and ar indis se of the Chicago young man who killed his father. Friends say it wa shell shock or gas due to service at the front in Trance. Too much is being excused on this ac count. It has grown to be the popular exy tion for all kinds of misdemeanors and crim on the part of the boys who served in the wa The young fellow in question had spent until 3 o'clock in the morning at a road house filling his hide with rotten bootleg liquor. Came home at the hour named, abused his sister, and when his father remonstrated, seized a rusty war trophy, a sabre, from the wall and ran it through his father’s bowels. It was not shell shock nor gas, it was just pure cussedness super-induced by rotten whiskey. It is quite the fad for specialists, alienists and other scientific gentry to find fancy names for erimes caused by the slopping over of original sin in the members of the human family. The old Wooden Nutmeg state has just held a special election for United States senator, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Frank B.| Brandegee, who for twenty years represented | Connecticut in the senate. As was to be expected Hiram Bingham, Repub- lican, was chosen by the voters by a large major- ity over Hamilton Holt, Democrat Mr. Bingham has long been a professor of Yale. He is the present Lieutenant Governor of the state and in the November election was chosen governor on the Republican ticket by a tremen-| dous majority, so that in the space of a few weeks he is the lientenant governor, governor. elect and senator-elect. The term of the first of-| 4 . °, Unique Bid. Florida has put one over. And not a badone at that. She made a-bid to human selfishness and so far as can be judged it will prove profitable She has abolished income and inheritance taxes- She has added sémething to her mild climate as a desirable place to live. t The situation will appeal to the rich, the mod: erately well-to-do and all-others who do not de- sire to be robbed of what they have earned when they are gone from earth. It does seem unjust to the keen and energetic business man; everywhere, who has paid all and sundry the taxes: levied upon him during the years of his productivity, federal income, state, county and municipal taxes, that he ought not to direct the disposition of what he has escaped with as he sees fit. - Florida has offered’ sanctuary to those weary of taxpaying and no doubt will greatly increase her population and build up her towns and cities. Free-Trade Ports Efforts have been made. to camouflage the Free-trade Port proposition by substituting the name “Foreign Trade Zones.” It is simply a change in name but not in nature. It is a propo- sition to give foreign products an advantage of American products right here in United States territory. To all intents and purposes Free-Trade Ports and Foreign Trade Zones are foreign ter- vitory. That portion of a Free-Trade. port in which French china is on sale might just as. well be called Limoges, for Lomoges china is offered for*sale there at Limoges prices, plus only the transportation charges. The buyer does not have to go to France to lay in a stock of Limoges ina. All that he needs to do is to visit the Free Port in this country, where he will find another Limoges right here at home. That would unques- tionably be an advantage to local merchants who want to deal in foreign products, but it would be a disadvantage to the real backbone of Amer- ican industry, the producers. It would hinder the sale of American wares by facilitating the sale of the French wares. It would be true of the ox- port trade as well as of the local trade. Foreign producers would have the advantage in the do- mestic markets and the benfits of the protective tariff system would be ta,that extent.destroyed. In the matter of cutlery, a Free-Trade Port would be practically Solingen, Germany, or Shef- field, England, provided German, or English cut- lery should be stored there for sale and shipment. Instead of patronizing American cutlery manu- facturers, the buyers would be likely to visit the Free Port, because they could undoubtedly save money by so doing, especially if such buyers should be purchasing for the export trade, There would be no duty to be paid on export goods, de- stined, let us say, for some Mexican or South American port. It sums itself up into this: Is it better for the country to make it easier for traders and for for- eign manufacturers by establishing Free-Trade Ports, or is it better for the country. to faver~do- mestic manufacturers by refusing to give foreign manufacturers the advantage? That_is the main question. It is a question of “America first” or foreign countries first. We know what the voters will have to say in answer to the question. if it is put up to them and they fully understand the situation. They are for building up and maintaining home industry. We concede that ree Trade ports. would be an advantage to some people. It would help import- ers of foreign merchandise. It would be a .con- venience to dealers who would buy. foreign mer- chandise in preference to American merchandise. provided they could do so conveniently. It would be an advantage to such dealers, bécause they would not have. to send buyers abroad to secure foreign goods. None of the smaller dealers would go to that expense, Free Ports or no Free Ports. Instead they: would buy American goods in ‘the absence of Free-Trade Ports, and foreign mer- chandise if we had FPree-Trade Ports. We believe that no sincere, disinterested pro- tectionist is in favor of Free-Trade Ports, or For- eign Trade Zones, whichever or whatever name they may be called, if he fully understands their purpose.and effect. We predict that no protectionist congress will vote for the establishment of the’ Free Port sy tem, for it is diametrically opposed to and de- structive of the protective tariff policy. There is how before congress a bill embodying about as impudent a Mree-Trade Part proposition as éver insulted the intelligence ‘of a protection- ist congress. Needless to say, it was introduced | by a Pree-Trader. Tariff Reduction and Unemployment’ Canada’s policy of tariff uncertainty and low duties by means of British preferences, special commercial treaties and favored nation treat- ment, has resulted in a great amount of unem- ployment in Montreal, the chief industrial and commercial center of the Dominion. A similar, but perhaps not so severe, condition exists in eastern Canada generally. For the first time in over half-a century the city council of Montreal has voted money to cfirry on work to provide re lief for the unemployed. Clergymen, charity work- ers and trade union officials all declare that un- employment in Montrtol exceeds anything in their experience, and that fully 25,000:people ina. city of about 800,000 are already in,actual want—dn extraordinary circumstgnee, since normally there is plenty of employment up to the close of navigation on the St. Lawrence. - The continuance of the industrial depression is the more remarkable in view of the fact that the Canadian farmer this year harvested good egetable crops, and that the grain crop, thougli small, was more profitable, owing to the big in- crease in prices, than the bumper grain crop of 1923. So far there has been little or no evidence that Canadian manufacturing has received a stimulus, such as might have been expected from the increased purchasing power of. the. farmers. With the government threat of further tariff re- ductions hanging over their heads, manufacturers are discouraged from launching out on a pro- gram of increased production, and labor is large- ly unemployed or on short time. High Ideals The president uttered a worthy sentiment when fice expires on his assumption of the governor ship early next month. Promptly after his inau-| ation governor, he will resign and proceed & ngton where he will be sworn in as} "nited States senator.
