Register complaints A Lady Ball Team ___ The erroneously denominated “weaker sex” of the city haye formed a baseball team and defied the sterner sex to baseball combat. And suiting their action to their challenge have gone into practice at an eastside training park. It is in no sense a bluff, nor is it an advertisement or publicity dodge of any character with concealed motive, It is for the sole purpose of demonstrating, the superiority of the female of the species over the male in what is regarded as a strictly masculine em- ployment. Women have excelled men in mpetitors, that th all things, Far be it from us to comment upon the prow of the lat- team aspiring for baseball honors. That comes wholly within the province of the gifted sporting writer. Nor shall we invade the field of tle fashion editor with any trite allu sions respecting suitable uniforms to be worn upon the great day when the ladies shall knock any of the teams, made up out of the several singing societies, for a row of goose eggs. The personnel of the feminine athletes is above criticism in both pulchritude and prowess. In fact any of the members forming the team is eligible to membership in the Piano Moy- ers union, and is certain to render a good account of herself, when it comes toa matter of swatting the ball. The only fear entertained by the public, is failure of the Rotarians, Lions, Cosmopolitans, Kiwanis or any of the other musical organizations in accepting the defiance thrown down by the Business and Professional ladies, It is reported that all of the maidens engaged in this base- ball enterprise are heart whole and fancy free, at the opening of the baseball season, but there is no guarantee that that will be the situation when the season closes. The roster of the team reads like a list of those the modern sheik has been devoted to and cannot decide among. Tt is Gertrude, Mina, Glenn, Mabel, Olive, Eunice, Chry- al, Charlotte, Martha, Myrtle, Alice, Isabelle, Ida, zel, Made Jane, Jennie and Dorothy. The outcome, if there is to be a contest, is good guessing for everybody, and the attendance will guarantee a full treas- ury for the Business and Professional Women’s club. so many walks in life, as have grown to believe that they excel est most Rail Consolidation There is a sharp issue between advocates of voluntary consolidation of railroads on one hand and advocates of com- pulsory consolidation on the other. President Coolidge would seem to be an advocate of voluntary consolidation. Senator Cummins, on the other hand} has no hesitation in saying that he believes in compulsory mergers, and that he will do eyery- thing in his power to bring them about. Several members of the interstate commerce commission are ned to challenge the power of congress to enact com- pulsory mer; legislation without exercise of the right of eminent domain. Pressure can be brought to bear, but not a consolidation brought about by an act of congress. If Senator Cummins therefore succeeds in getting a bill made law, along the lines that he approves, there is a distinct probability that its constitutionality will be challenged. No formal recommendation will be made to congress by the interstate commerce commission until the presentation of its report on December 1. Between now and then, however, the whole question of rail consolidation ms due for an airin Traffic Note A man was arrested the other day while navigating a horse-drawn vehicle while under the influence of liquor, It looks as if the wheelbarrow skippers were about the only traffic artists who have a clean record in the matter in not using hooch aud the highway simultaneously, unless pet chance you might add the pile Vindicating Mitchell undoubtedly knows by now s of perambulutors Mite and b General " act that forty-four anti-aircraft practice } failed to hit the eight sle t t 0 it r yut 6,000 feet altitu Interstate Bus Lines Congress will be asked at its next session to empower state public utility commissions to regulate inte ite bus line The supreme court recently decided, in effect, that state reg bodies are now without authority to control inter. ice, No federal agency has this specific power.

Good sense and plain reason may yet come to the rescue, before the ter- rible havoc now promised shall have transpired. But whole generations sometimes attend that dear school against which wise old Ben Franklin warned the heedless. If we will not learn in any other, inexorable experience takes us in hand. The prohibition issue bids fair to make us or break us. Another One Governor Silzer of New Jersey says: “The session of the legislature just closed wis about as futile it could be. Of the many recommendations forwarded to the legislature not one was adopted, even though they were most important questions. New Jersey taxpayers pay heavily for the privilege which they flatter themselves into calling self-government.” Asks Why? John Hays Hammond wants to know: “Should our great nation sell its birthright for a mess of Russian pottage, not palatable and not nutritious?

But the nation’s deepest sympathy has gone out and help is being rushed to them. In Russia is another picture. In southern Russia alone, as commu- nist papers of the country are now openly admitting, 750,000 children are starving. But the cause is not {n nature.

Mass., was conducting experiments for the improvement of the breed of siikworms. Moths are the mothérs of these spinners and he was attempting to develop a hardier moth,’ one with caterpillars that would browse on scrub oak or sgssa- fras. To this end he brought over from Europe a spectmen known as the gipsy moth because of ts nze complexion. He caged this dusky adventurer with timid little mothers of silkworms, hoping they would mate, Along came a bolster- ous wind and blew over the coop. The gipsy moths flew away and merged themselves into the Mussa- chusetts landscape. This small in- cident launched a new campaign in the thousand-year war. The gipey moths, Which are quite harmless in their native Europe, multiplied in | America to a prodigious extent. Let’s go for a ride in the Moon \g | Tribune Fruit of Courage “The country voted overwhelm. Ingly last fall for tax reduction,” says the New York Herald-Tribune. “This issue, raisel by President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon in November, 1928, was gall and worm- wood, to a congress which wished to go on spending money and avoiding tax relief. But the voters railied to the administration. Popular opin-} fon forced the last congress to pass the grudging tax reduction act of 1924 and will force this congress to reform tax’ schedules as well as to reduce rates . “It is now conceded all around that there will be another tax cut , whether an extra eession called next fall or not. ‘The ground 1s already belng cleared for relief. The March income tax re- ceipts indicate that the treasury’s estimates of revenue for the balance of this fiscal year will more than hold good and that there may be a surplus on June, 80 of more than $68,000,000—probably of more than $100,000,000. The surplus for 1925- ‘26 {= estimated at $373,000,000. “The two houses no longer shy at tax reduction. Last year they played cheap politiis with it.

It wants tax legislation to be constructive, not destructive. “The three most important steps in federal tax reform would be a scaling of the income surtaxes (in- volving a downward revision of the norn rates), a repeal or materl reduction of the inheritance tax and a repeal or material reduction of the gift tax. High stirtaxes defeat thelr own purpose. as experience has abundantly proved. Federal inher!- tance and gift taxes are essentially emergency levies on capital. Th are out of place in peace times.

But, since foreign countries have begun using American lasts and American manufacturing meth- ods, the importation of forelzy shoes has rapidly increased. The adoption of “American styles has caused forelgn shoes to find more favor here, . especially since the adoption of American methods of manufacture, coupled with the con- tinuation of the employment of for- elgn workmen at what we would MENTHOLATUM Restores free breath- ing quickly CARLSON DAIRY | The Oldest in Casper We Stand for PERFECT SANITATION Phone 14R4 ALWAYS _ We Deliver Anywhere Plain, hard economic sense | think ridiculously low prices, has enabled foreign manufacturers to undersell those of this country. A compilation of the {mports of forelgn shoes at the port of New York for the perfod of July-Decem- ber, 1924, shows some interesting facts. There were 232,603 patrs of footwear imported. Of this number 93,765 were valued at less than $1 per pair, wholesale. These were chiefly men's and women’s shoes, very few, comparatively, being for children's wear. Only underpaid foreign labor can explain such low prices. Our manufacturers cannot continue to pay the high wages which they do and compete with such prices. But there were some high priced boots and shoes imported. There were 2,012 pairs imported at values running from $10 to $15 per pair; 487 pairs {mported at values run ning from $15 to $20 per pair and 340 pairs which were valued at $20 per palr and upward. It is notable that these higher priced boots and shoes will continue to be imported, for they are doubtless special tm- portations made to suit individual fancies. Another interesting fact {s that 92,000 pairs. or considerably more than one-third, of the imports caine from Germany. Of these, 77.097 pairs were invofted at less than a dollar per pair, “France sent us oniy 377 pairs of such low priced shoes. All of the shoes costing over $20 per palr were imported from France or Great Britain, chiefly the latter. The imports from Switzerland, which amounted to 42,870 pairs to $8 per pair. It must be borno in mind that the table {n question covers imports made at New York alone. None of the shoes {mported from Canada ar- rived at the port of New York. Nearly 3,000,000 pairs of shoes were imported into the United States dur- ing the calendar year, 1924. Im- portations have been inrreasing rapidly and we look for a very great increase in the next few years, due to free trade in leather boots and shoes and thé adoption by foreign manufactdrers of American lasts and manufacturing methods, SS WIGIDE 3 BODY 13 FOUND IN MONTANA RILLS MILES CITY, Mont., March 30.— The body of Henry Brown, aged 65 was found by Ralph Harris and Carl Anderson of this cits while out hunting on Sunday afternoon, in the Yellowstone hills about four miles west of this city.
