It would not seek to drag the sum of $60,000 or any other sum out these unfortunate burden beare What the highway commission should do of its own accord would be to deflate its operations for the present and give taxpayers an opportunity to get their breath.

A part of this continues, Generally the world is producing a da wed! wh nd China, which even before 3 : : é H more goods, there is fuller employment, there are higher standards of living, more assurance of economic stability for the future, and more prom- se of 7 e than we have seen for many years. In our country the outsanding economic devel- opment of the ye: 1s been the very large recov- ry in agriculture after its two-year lag behind the recovery of industry. There are some second- ry difficulties still remaining, particularly in 5 he cat industry and the effect of the subnor- zB 1 crop, but the prices of all farm prod- i ucts ere gradually moving toward the general rage of commodity p . This improvement E <..in prices of farm products has been paralleled & with sor ise in the prices of many indus- ial commodities, such as fuel, building mater- E \ls, metals, ete, so that here has been little : change it yerage of all price levels, and 5 thus the farmers’ purchasing power is being rem- Hy edied in both tions. Hy While the een a good deal of adjust- t 1enut in prices of single commodities during the Es year, the average wholesale price of all commod- ie ities has varied but three per cent as between the ends of the year 1922, 1923 and 1924. It would thus app lat we are tending to the common level in prices of about 50 per cent over pre-war, which seems to represent at least our present economic plane in prices. - The average wage in industry has been stable daring the last year and remains around 100 per cent above pre-war, while the cost of living has £ maintained almost exactly the same level at the = snd of each of the last three years, 1922, 1923 and 1924, about 72 r cent over pre-war. : Two industries = —have lagged in recovery.

When a tax of three cents a gallon is placed on guso line, the innocent suffer with the guilty. Itvis un The French Proposal The French proposal for the settlement of her | debt to the United States, reaches this side mark- ed “confidential and unofficial.” It is none the less welcome because it puts an end to rumors | | that France intends to repudiate her debt to us, or expects us to cancel them. The momorandum includes two main argu- ments why the United States should agree to a ten year moratorium and thereafter cight# an- nual payments, contingent, however on many’s fulfilment of her obligations to France under the Dawes plan. The original suggestion for sixty-eight years now has been rejected by the French, who believe that it is too short a period in which to pay the entire debt. The argu- rears is based principally on the French viewpoint that transfer operations beyond $70,000,000 annually, representing French reimbursements to the United States of commer- cial obligations at the present time, are dan- gerous and impossible to envisage. The second argument is on the somewhat moral ground that if France recognizes the debt, and submits to a funding arrangement, payments must hinge on Germany’s fulfilment of her obli- gations to France. The memorandum suggests in this connection that if Germany should default in any certain year—assuming that the French debt is funded along the prescribed lines — France should not be obligated to pay her instal. ment that year, nor pay doubly the next year. The entire’French debt is four and a half bil- lion dollars. Under the proposal made, with no bad luck it would be cleaned up by 2015, There Is Hope Oheyenne has great hopes of bringing her fail- ed banks back to life and usefulness. Financiers have been busily engaged for several months upon the problem with every reason to expect success. These failures were deplorable from every aspect. The failures were not viewed as matters of poor banking, much less dishonest banking, it was purely and simply a situation of deflating every- body else with the banks holding inflated assets. When those who owed the banks went broke, as they did, and could therefore not make payment, as in normal times, the banks were compelled to surrender. The unfortunate part of the whole affair was the inconvenient situation of depos- itors. Tf success attends the efforts now in process, this latter situation may be relieved. ‘ Rigdon’s Error It was quite naturally supposed that the Hon. Charles W. Rigdon of Cheyenne would be a mem- ber of the unofficial cabinet that assisted in guid- ing the ship of state when the lately clected goy- ernor came into office. It was generally known that Mr. Rigdon was a close personal friend of the late governor and frequently brought into counsel on public matters. It is noted that in the new odministration, which in effect is a continuation of the one inte: rupted by death, Mr, Rigdon is nowhere in eyvi- Tn casting about for an explanation the infor ination comes to hand that the reason is that Mr. Rigdon was indiscreet enough to boast that after the inauguration he would be the governor in fact.

REVOLT AGAINST ‘OLD GUARD’ TACTICS OF BUTLER SAID TO BE BACK OF SLEMP’S RETIRING By DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1925, Consolidated Press Association.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Some- thing of the golugs on behind the scenes {s revealed in the resigna- tion of C, Bascom Slemp, private secretary to President Coolidge. Mr. Slemp will be su eded by Representative Everett nders, of Indiana. The situation is rather unparalleled. Mr. Coolidge likes Mr. Slemp, thinks he {s one of the ablest Meutenants a president could have and {s sorry to see him go. He could have stayed on indefinitely, so far as Calvin Coolldge is con- cerned. But Mr. Slemp is an executive an administrator, an active man with talents sufficient to run an executive department. Reputed to be more than a millionaire, he has made a-success of private business. As for politics, he engineered Mr. Coolidge’s pre-convention campaign, lined up the delegates from the southern states particularly 1 to say about po! during i If it against the indiscretions of Wil ain M, Butler in handling the “old guard” at the Republican national convention, however, was ie begin ning of the end. | Mr. Slemp had to repress his fee! ings and play ball.

And then | same rumors that Mr, Slemp was} about to retire, Published reports had {t that he hoped for a cabin portfollo.

Speaking of “promotion,” there have been men who regarded the position of private secretary to the president as of infinitely more im- Portant than a cabinet portfolio. In the latter, a view of only one de- partment ts obtafhed and the secre tary 1s hedged in by assistant sec- retaries and lots of red tape. At the White House, the private secretary deals for the president with all executive departments as well as congresg. It has been regarded by some pFivate secretaries as vastly more interesting and even more in- fluential than a cabinet job. *The private secretary can have the ear of the president. Mr. Slemp is safd to have wanted to be postmaster general. The poll- tical aides of presidents in the past sharp pains torture lame and stiff; tire couraged ? Back Bad This Winter ? OES your back ache with a dull, unceasing throb; have gone to the department. George B. Cortelyou, chairman of tho Republican national “committee at one time, went there. Frank B. Hitchcock, another Republican na- tional chairman, was named post- master general and Will Hays, Re- publican chairman {n 1920 was the most recent appointen to the same portfolio. Harry New, postmaster general by appointment of President Hard- ing, was at one time a Republican national chairman. He has not yet announced whether he intends to stay on, though, after Tuesday's cabinet meeting this week, Mr. Cool- idge asked him to remain. The story is that when that die was cast, Mr. Slemp’s chances to be postmaster geperal at this time vanished. He left that day for New York on busi- ness and while there news of his impending resignation leaked out. It was officially confirmed today. Just what impelled Mr. Coolidge to ask Mr. New to stay is not yet clear, for it is known that apart from the case of Mr. Slemp there were others whose names had been brought forward for the possible vacancy. The impression has been general that Mr. New sought to re- tire to private life for personal rea- sons. There is sald to be some in- ternal politics’ in the postoffice de- partment which led the president to insist on Mr. New's staying tn of- fice, but {t would not be surprising if this were only a temporary affatr. Representative Sanders is heartily commended by Mr. Slemp, who re- gards him as one of the ablest men for the job, particularly because of the wide acquaintance of the In- diana. member of congress with his colleagues in both houses. Mr. Sanders was well enough re- garded to be mentioned for the vice presidency at the last Cleveland convention, but was vetoed by Sena- tor James Watson, whose name was being brought forward at the same time. Outwardly, the scene {s calm and there 1s no political upheaval. But behind the scenes, the pressure for political appointment is at its | height, as usual in the days preced- ing inauguration. The politielans who want the jobs say the incum- bents have held on long enough and |that other deserving Republicans ought to haye a chance. And Mr. Coolidge, who recognizes party ser- vice as worthy of reward, {s having a perplexing time meeting the de- mands of the men who may in 1928 decide the question of another presidential nomination for him.
