The utomobile has brought about changes which have made for better conditions of living in all ections of the nations. # The coming into popular use of the automobile has also been to a great degree responsible for the building up of the oil industry to the vast point which it has now reached, because gasoline | which was formerly of little use is now © petroleum’s intportant products. most Supreme Court Appointments In the brief space of three and a half years, five members of the United States supreme court have been named, says the Lincoln Star. With the appointment of Attorney General Harlan F. Stone by President Coolidge to fill the vacancy oceasioned by the resignation of Judge Joseph McKenna, five changes have taken place in the highest law tribunal in America since the late | rren G. Harding took office in 1920. Phere are nine members of the supreme court. Thus the appointments made under one adminis tration constitute a majority of the court. The reation of a new majority of the court by a sin-| gle administration is a striking demonstration) | of the fact that when the people choose a presi | dent, they also select a man who may be, through his appointments, the arbiter of great issues | | through several generations to come. There are | men who have served on the supreme bench for a quarter of a century, including Justice McKenna, the last to retire. This fact is sup- | posed to add a premanency to their work and to shield it agains tthe radically changing tides of public sentiment. At the same time it adds to the importance of exercising unusual deliberation and care in the selection of members for places on the bench. While no period in American history has seen more changes in the membership of the supreme court, all of the appointments made by Mr. Hard- ing and Mr. Coolidge have been made satisfac- 'y. Chief Justice Taft was the first appointee of the late president. Following in the order of oyer | | their appointments are Associate Justices Suth- | erland, Butler and Sanford. All lad achieved | marked disinction in the legal profession at the| time of their elevation to the supreme bench. Polities entered only incidentally in the nratter of their selection. So long as appointments re main on the plane of those made in the last three and a half years, there can be no serious objec- tion to the prevailing method of selection Grow More Cotton There is no immediate danger that this country will lose its position of dominance in the world | stabilize clares the chamber of commerce of the United States, suggesting increased yield per acre as a vemedy, The “steady decline has been. reflected rt of tho foreign | outside of America.” | often a spirit plants the cross on the of San Salvador; Balboa Pe eliff from which he “Pacific; Livingstone pr tent in the heart of Afric I inaee becomes a world-travelle: wake of the Gospel, ax jeaves Ur of the Chaldees for rt lnown inheritance.

Try a Claseified “Ad) £ PUZZLE SOLUTION Answer to Sunday's Purzle, “ons. The total amount of reve- nues derived from all sources and paid into the state treasury for 1924 was over $10,500,000, exclusive of $1,500,000 paid into highway funds by the federal government. Add to this $2,460,000, the total county expenditures for 1923, and it will not be less and probably much more for 1924, and you have $12,950,000. Now add to this $1,- 595,000, paid by Wyoming into the federal government treasury and you have Wyoming’s total tax bill for 1924, all of which must come out of her industries before you have any spending money, of over $14, 545,000. Of course, it may be con- tended that the of! royalties are not taxation and that that money goes into permanent funds, the tn- terest upon which goes to the schools. I say {t isan absolute tax upon the stockholders of the com- panies who have spent millions of dollars drilling dry holes on school sections before they got ofl in a g00d section, and that all the roy- alty school sections have been de- veloped by private enterprise. “The absolute constitutional Umit In school tax is levied every year In nearly every county in the state in spite of ofl royalties, poll tax and the large sums derived trom nes assessed in the courts of the state. “I thoroughly appreciate the necessity of good public schools and heir importance to this nation. I m proud of our university, but I $500,006 with baths rivalling ancient Rome, or many other of tho extravagances of that inatitution.. THe tax levy that we pay to run the state governinent is now 14 per cent of the total amount raised by taxation and 66 per cent g0es to the schools. “Freak -legislation to reach some Individual that {s still solvent is continually devised. One year per- hapa some rich man with aecumu- lated fortune of several generations moves irto the state, buys up some ranch that some sturdy ranchman who has been taxed into bank- ruptey has to gell, owing to the fact that in his good years 5 to 80 per cent of his income went to the government’ and loca! taxes, leav- ing him nothing for. the inevitable lean years but to go to his local banker with his neighbors for money to buy. feed and pay his taxes, until the next lean year when, lo and behold, he goes tothe banker again, he sees a ‘little sign on the door reading, ‘closed, in the hands of a receiver.’ When this new man comes in with the outside money, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1925 ger and better free institutions with bonded indebtedness of cities counties, school districts mountin; higher and higher, with the pecu liar {deas that some people have who will go {nto an institution Mk our county hospital, run at an ex pense. of about $5,000 per month and who, after demanding and get ting the highest grade service wil refuse to pay anything in som¢ cases, declaring they thought it < free institution, in other cases mak ing some complaint or excuse tc avold paying what they think they canimake their negihbors pay for them. “With prisoners in our jails de manding feather beds, rooms with bath, and turkey d.nners—and get ting it too—and all at the expense of the thrifty citizen who perhaps has no sunlit room to work in, and who gets very little turkey after he has paid his taxes, what is the answer? “To quote a distinguished county commissioner from Wheatland at a recent meeting in the capitol, the he is an {mmediate mark for freak legislation, such as the excessive inheritance tax. He, like all ‘the rest must pay taxes on everything he | bu: builds or acquires, and in addition to that must part with everything he has left when he dies A reasonable inheritance tax is all right, but when it ts.8 or 10 per cent of @ large fortune, it is a very serious matter to immediately raise that amount without sacrificing or very seriously crippling that man’s fortune. “We have never, to my knowl edge, had but one very rich man who ever came into the state to gain a residence, to live, and remain one of us. This man was of great value to’ his state and country from a purely business standpoint es wel. as from every other view. He was a scholar with the highest ideals, and o philanthropist, who I am in- formed and believe gave away 4l- most his entire income; a man who almost unsolicited, gave to this county for {ts Memorial hospital $50,000. As soon as he heard of a move for this hospital construction. he came here, satisfied himself that it was a necessary institution that required, in addition to the tax bur den on our local people, outside help, and immediately put up this Uberal contribution. This man has contributed large sums: to various charitable ‘institutions, schools and churches all-over the state, yet he was driven out of the state by demagogue legislation aimed obso- lutely at him through tho excessive inheritance tax upofi large tortunes. “The fallacy of trying to take away too large an amount from @ big estate, thereby driving such men into other states where laws are fairer, or ‘into states where there ia no inheritance tax law at all, such as Florida, is s0 obviously foolish as to require no further comment. ‘The further fallacy of taking away in taxes too large an amount from the reward of indus- try and enterprise when we all know that two thirds of it will be wasted anyway, instead of letting it go-into the upbullding. of the state in good years, or used to fortify a man from bankruptcy in bad years, is absolutely ruinous. ‘The federal government has taken nearly $4,000,000 in taxes in one year out of Wyoming. There are only about 11,000 people out of our 250,000 population and about 650 corporations who have to pay this tax. The burdens laid upon cor- porations by adverse legislation, both governmental and state, are so great that many of them have been forced into bankruptcy. All the political demagogue thinks or talks about is ‘corporation: though a corporation was some in- tangible mint of money to be plun- dered, instead of the corporate sav- ings of your thrifty, saving cit!- zen. It is not appalling that $40,- 000 per day is used by the citizens of Wyoming in taxes for state, county and school expen: exclu- of bonded indebtedness, exclu- s' of city tax, and exclusive of $1,500,000 paid by the federal gov- ernment toward our roads. Is it any surprise that half of our banks and most of our people are broke? “The taxes as they are today, do not quite see the necessity of a with people roaring ‘for more, bis- Himmel!
