Register complaints before & o'clock The Reason Why As long as the primary election law remains in force in this state, it will be an imperative duty of the people to know what character of candidates they are supporting for public office. With a ninety-six million dollar tax roll in Natrona county there is no good reason why there should be much of any taxes to collect from the individual taxpayer. The day will never arrive when there are no taxes at all, but the should come when taxes should be, much less than they at present if not nominal. The most wasted article in the United States is public money. On the whole, it is estimated that the public does not receive in actual value more than fifty the dollar expended There are numerous ways of accounting for this condition. Graft, carelessness, ignorance, lack of busin ability, vague notions of economy, wastefulness, and a long list of other causes. Where to put the finger upon the leak, has been the study of many interested in public affairs. The most frequent reason that has been assigned for the deplorable situation of public affairs, has been the lack of integrity, business ability and general knowledge of public affairs, that everywhere obtains among the men elected to public office. In other words they not big enough for the jobs they hold by the choice of the voters. The system of electing officers is in no sense wrong, nor is it subject to but little criticism. The preliminary method of selecting candidates, however, is one of the worst pieces of folly ever inflicted upon the voters. If the individual voter would take the time to look into the workings of the primary system, for himself, and learn how he is cheated out of his ch » of candidates, how simple it is to combine against him and thwart him and foist can- didates upon him, who do not represent him and his ideas of honest and ¢: ble government, he would be first to raise his voice against such a system. Wise men and students of public affairs may seek for ex- planation of the inferior quality of government we are now receiving everywhere in city, county and state. They may deplore it until they are gray headed. But it starts and ends with the prin election system. Here is where you get the timber that m the public office holder. And instead of securing the best to be had, as the theory of it promises, you invariably get the worst So, the taxpayer, who is the voter, finds his own chickens coming home to roost. And if he has complaint at the amount of his taxes or the manner in which his tax money is spent, he need not blame his neighbor, the gang in control, or anybody else, he can fix the blame upon himself, where it properly belongs. The men who should be in public office are the men who will not consent to go through two expensive campaigns to become office holders, And until the way is made more in- viting to high class men, and encouragement offered to men of integrity the offices will continue to be filled mostly by un- qualified persons. No where in the world has the ndard of public servants so deteriorated as in the United States since the advent of the prin election system, pe Mutual Rights William M. Green, successor to Samuel Gompers, dent of the American Federation of Labor, has thus the position of labor: “The trade union has been passing through that period when physical controversy and the tactics of force were most effec. tive. It is now in a period when its leaders must seek the conference room and there, by exposition and demonstration, convince conferees of the justice and wisdom of labor's posi- tion. “We do not believe that our common problems are impos- sible of solution, nor do we believe that the obstacles to be met. cents on are ary as presi- outlined are insurmountable. As evidence of our faith we refuse to ac- cept the oft-expounded theory t the differences between capital and labor, between employer and employees, are ir reconcilable. The conflicts which arise in industry and which, in many instances, become bitter and violent, are directly traceable to a flagrant disregard or denial of the common rights of either employers or employees. “It is not a disagreement over wages which causes the most bitter industrial conflicts. It is the denial of the workers’ right_ to organize and to bargain collectively which causes strife, strikes and, in some instances, industrial warfare. Where the right of the workers to organize is conceded and collective bargaining is practiced, the possibilities of strikes are minimized, but, where the exercise of this right is denied and the workers are not permitted to act collectively or to speak collectively, through their chosen representatives, a spirit of revolt manifests itself and the resort to strikes be comes increhsingly probable. “Working men and women are no longer mere fixtures in industry, but, instead, are intelligent, understanding hu- man beings, with a concept of life which emphasizes the cul- tural and spiritual, rather than the material.. We want to make it possible r the workers to acquire and enjoy more of culture, refinement and education. Through this process they will better understand industry, their work and thus raise the standard of efficiency and service, These announced purposes and policies possess merit and virtue, and we feel justified soliciting your sympathetic interest, approval and support.” What Reed Did What the United States senate needs is another man of the caliber of Thomas B. Reed. The same conditions which prevail in that body today prevailed in the lower house in 1892, when Speaker Reed practically abolished filibustering by ruling that those members who were actually present and did not vote in order to prevent a quorum would be counted. The speaker's action raised a storm of protest made no difference to him, They called him ;:cza sented his ruling on every hi But Mr, Reed knew right ond took the matter to the supreme court tained him. he which was sus per Daily Crime Publication offices: Tribune - 15 and 16 itled to the use for publication of a!) news credited in this paper and also the loca! news published herein. Fifth Copies of the Daily Tribune Boston and San Francisco offices “Enlightenment” “New York had an “enlightenment dinner" recently—a dinner sponsor- ed by the men.to whom “enlighten” means to reintroduce light wines and beer into common use,” notes The Continent. “According to the news reports, it was a lively and nolsy dinner. Quite Mkely it was duly “enlightened.” ‘The diners de- nounced prohibition as a “phartisal- cal interference by cranks, hypo- crites and meddiers with the rights of the whole people of the United State: if they were adequately “enlightened” they might easily have concelyed themselves to be “the whole people"—and noisily an- nounced their purpose to “wipe this law off the statute books.” All this, of course, was “purely for the public welfare’—and incidentally the public “enlightenment.” “On about the same day New York people were given a chance to read ‘an editorial which recounted certain benefits of five years of pro: hibition, as quoted’from The Spring- field Republican. It was shown that the increase in the amount of life insurance in force has been. phe- nomenal. It ts estimated that, now there are 25,000,000 citizens thus protecting their families and that two-thirds of them are wage-earners. In 1923, the: fourth year of prohi- bition, insurance was written to the amount’ of $11,710,000,000. Bleven years earlier the total amount in force was only $15,555.901,171, In 1912 savings deposits amounted to $8,425,275,000. They grew slowly during eight years to $12,450,460,444 in'1920, Then, when money could not so readily be squandered on drink, they jumped in a single year to $15.67 is told ab the great increase in the number of stockholders in cor. Porations and, as the editorial re- marks: “No one can mourn the passing of the corner saloon in the face of such evidence.” “Yet these New York gentlemen and ladies (at least one lady) want us all to have a chance to be ‘ lightened,” even if we are impove ished in the process for the public welfare firm that “the attempt to enforce Prohibition has brought nothing more than constantly Increasing cor- ruption” (billions saved in banks and insurance being just. “nothing” to their minds); they pay as high tribute to John Philip Hill, famous for his “‘cidi parties, and to Cap- tain W. H. Stayton, founder and director of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, as “loy- al, faithful leaders against the exist- ing fiasco and its frightfully dis- astro’ effects morally and finan- cially So they af- “Now, what {s to be sald concern- ing this brief summary of facts and opinions? Just this: Prohibition has already proved itself to be an ‘nest{- mable blessing to the Nation. — The “corruption” which has come with the enforcement laws (which cor- ruption is frankly admitted), is wholly due to, those cltizens—bad eltizens—who do not respect the law, who will not help enforce the law, who violate the law because they want to line their pockets, or their stomachs, with “enlighten- ment.” “That's just plain truth. Captain Stayton informed his fellow diners that “if members of Congress were compelled to abstain from tintox!- cants one week the end of that week would see the repeal of the prohi- bition amendment.” Well, the cap- tain seems to need a little more— or possibly had a little too much —enlightenment. Congress can't Just repeal a constitutional amend- ment‘ without the States having something to say. If it could. and if the majority of congressmen were the kind Captain Stayton ac- cnkes them of being, we may be sure that someone would see that were all thoroughly “enlightened” without delay, so that in their enlightenment they might promptly ao what they would never risk undertaking while in their sober senses. While we think Captain Stayton slanders the majority of congressmen, we éo not hesitate to say that members of Con- gress who violate the prohibition law are also bad citizens and the voter ought promptly to give them a vacation frof& public office. “In a recent address at Doyles- town, Penn., Owen J. Roberts, spec- {al counsel for, the Government in the Teapot Dome prosecutions, as- serted that we Americans “are the most awful lot of lawbreakers In the world,” and he insisted that the good citizen would take the position “Whether I approve of the law cr not, I'll set the example of obeying it as long as ft is the law.” That's the only way to be loyal. Morcover no man can be truly a good citi who does not put first the welfare of all the people—not just the satis faction of his personal prefers: For Che Casper Daily Cribune Short Cut to Virtue The Bible is still admittedly the “best seller” among books. Its an- nual sales represent millions of cop: les Where the finest products’ of the brilliant brains: of the new intelli- gentsla can count their readers only by the tens of thousands. It is, too, the book around which centers the religious and moral controversies of the modern world. And it fs still the book which, though translated scores of times, continues to chal- lenge the skill of scholarship and to stimulate the investigations of learning. Every new _ translation seeks to improve upon former ones by modernizing phraseology, or by clearing up apparent obscuritles, or by giving new meanings to old words. But in spite of these new competitors, the old-fashioned Bible seems to hold its own. Its latest rival appears to be what is called the “Shorter Bible," the name ‘of which recalls the familiar “Shorter Catechism,” that. staunch, not to say stern, old Presbyterian statement. of faith. But, to judge from the description, the only sim- ilarity between the two is in names. The shorter Bible, which we as- sume to be so entitled because of its condensation, seems, according to a critic, to soften words Ike “wine” that are offensive to tender-minded moralists, That is to say, in cases where this wicked word appears to be used in a favorable or complimen- tary sense. When it suggests hor- rible consequences, it is allowed to appear in all its monstrous verbal villainy. Says the critic quoted, either the word “wine” has been de- leted wherever the old Bible gives it favorable mention or another word such as “raisins” has been subst!- tuter for it. But when it is denoun- ced as devilish or deceitful, this wickedest word in the language is written “wine” without the loss of a single one of its four letters. One of the translators indignantly flenies that the Shorter Bible has any prohibition bt But if the f are as stated by the critic, the word “wine” is treated as a ver- bal criminal, a religious bootlegger, a dangerous and seductive outlaw, which cannot be admitted to good society. “Wine” has come to have a fascinating appeal to the human imagination. Therefore, {t may be argued, it has no place tn a holy book except as a menace and a warn- ing. The Volstead act's prohibition of liquor symbols and suggestions proceeded on the same principle. If we cut out the name we cut out the fact. There is nothing like ‘“mak- ing believe.” that something doesn't exist which we don’t want to exist. So all aboard for Paradise on the Shorter Short Line. Finds a Way “Vice President Dawes has already found a way in which to make his influence felt in politics,” observes the New York Herald Tribune, “A Vice President does not have to doze through the senate’s sessions and hibernate during its recesses, If he cares to do so he may speak his mind on political questions and take a hand in political activities. John Adams was not a mummified Vice- President. Neither was Thomas Jef- ferson, Aaron Burr, John C. Cal- houn, Martin Van Buren, Richard M. Johnson, John C. Breckenridge, Garret A. Hobart; Charles W. Fai! banks or Calvin Coolidge. “Like Mr. Hobart, General Dawes signalized his inauguration by at- tacking patiiamentary obstruction. His criticism of the defective Sen- ate rules aroused some antagonism in that body but awakened a hearty response outside it. The present rules are an inheritance from a dis- tant past, In which the Senate was a much smaller body than It ts to- day and was governed by much rig- ider standards of etiquette. Senator- fal courtesy protected privileges, but it also imposed obligations, which are {gnored when one senator or a little group of senators insolently at- tempts to override the wishes of a majority. “Imperfect restriction of dilatory debate and outright filibustering un- duly exalt the power of the individ ual Senator, clog business and pre- vent the Senate from discharging its primary duty to the country. Gen- eral Dawes's arguments cannot be met by those who have resented them. A more efficacious previous question rule is needed tn the Sen- ate and will be sorely needed there so long as the antiquated short’ ses- sion Js retained. “In deciding to put the case against fillbustering before the peo- ple this spring and summer the Vice-President is doing a valuable public service, Most Senators know ip their hearts that tho rules ought to be changed. But parliamer abuses are hard to remedy, bec a party that Is in and suffers from them always realizes that !t may SAY “BAYER ASPIRIN” —Gonudne Unless you see the “Bayer Cross” on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed Colds Headache Pain Toothache Neuralgia Neuritis Accept. only . “Bayer” p i which contains proven directions.

Public opinion finally controls in such matters. General Dawes has talked to the Senate. Now he ts going to talk to the country, not so much for the purpose of convine- ing it that the rules are bad (it 'is already convinced on that point) as to bring the necessary pressure on the Senate to mend its ways. “Thomas B. Reed abolished fil!- bustering in the House of Represen- tatives. It will be a notable tri- umph for General Dawes if, thirty- five years later, he can bring about its abolition in the senat. LAKE DRAGGED FOR MAN, GIRL IS FOUND DEAD NEWPORT, Vermont, March 26.— —Grappling was resumed today for the body of Charles H. Hutchinson, thought to be in a deep swamp above Lake Memphremagog a few miles from the Coventry railroad station There a trapper yesterday found the body of Miss Edith M. Young, 24 year old factory worker of Orleans and a former school teacher, on the seat of a buggy, with a dead horse upright in the shafts, only his head above the mire. Miss Young and Hutchins, the father of two children and defendant in divorce proceedings, were last seen four months ago as they drove off late at night in a hired rig to- vard Orleans where the woman lived. 1.
