The county attorney will tion to the district court, The governor is to persons, Attorney take the proper steps’ by peti be commended for taking the positive step she has to clear situation, whose stench has smell. ed to high heaven in Natrona county for some months The examine report filed some weeks ago, and dis- closed a series of law violations and evasions in the conduct of the regular connty business of w h the taxpayers were unaware. The state examiner's report touched only upon i arities and did not attempt to analyze transactions, to yer fraud, collusion, graft and other criminality which suspected as existing. The report, however, fully justi fied the presént request of the governor. Alarmed at the situation said to exist in c common report, and owing to the fact that the previous state examiner had failed in his duty to check county affairs dur. ing his term of office as required by law, a group of -taxpay- ers associated themselves together under the name of Taxpay- ers ion, hired an expert auditor and proceeded to probe thoroughly and from every angle the affairs of the county bow result this auditor's forthcoming report will furnish ample evidence of a reckless and rotten condition in the taxpayer's business, fully war ranting procedure on the part of the prosecuting officers.

Florida led off with the bait of no income tax. California responds with old age pensions. Florida 8 that a resident ought to dispose of his estate without giving the major portion to the state, California figures that the person old enough to die ought to have an estate, so provides it at the rate of a dollar a day, Wyoming sinned away her day of grace when her legislature refused to adopt « six-months’ residence law to secure divorce, Therefore our magnificent summer climate is wasted large- ly on natives, 5 : ° The Newspaper’s Birthright In the matter of publishing income tax returns arguing before the supreme court of the United States, Solicitor Gen eral Beck said it is not so important how the court shall de- cide as it is that there shall be a decision removing from con- troversy the question whether the constitution’s guaranty of freedom of the press grants newspapers the right to publish any information which may be thrown open to public inspee- tion. Counsel for the newspapers joined in this respect. Questions by justices indicated that they may regard the amount of tax paid by the individual as amenable to publica- tion legally, while the returns on which the tax is based may not legally be published. Remaining Public Lands What to do with 185,000,000 acres of public lands, net now uitable for farming, is the subject of hearings before the te public lands committee, These hearings which are re garded as of gr importance to 1) stockment in elevent Western states, from Arizona to Washington, because of their use of these lands under grazing permits, The department of the interior and the department of agriculture also are substantially interested, It is announced that substantially all lands good for farming out of federal control, The Tourist Crop Communities near the playgrounds of the nation and along popular motor trails will reap #2,500,000,000 crop of tourist gold this year; $1,000,000,000 between Florida and California, with the park gions of the west and New England bidding for a large share, the American Automobile Association esti mates at Unusual Proposals Radio enthusiasts must haye grinned when they read of a Connecticut legislator’s proposal to punish by fine or impri sonment, both, any person or corporation making noises between 6 p.m, and midnight which might interfere with radio broadeasting receiving.

Why Handcu Tipe. > That substantially half the publie utility industry of the United States is represented in the seventeen finanelally largest groups, ix the contention of Samuel Insull, with 185 holding companies, Mr, Insull, who is head of the Common- wealth Edison Company of Chicago, in an address at Pitts: burgh said: “One may wonder why there are proposals that investment or holding companies in our industry should be handcuffed at a time when consolidation of railronds into still larger affiliated or operating groups is being urged, His Favorite Subject Addressing by radio the Women's World Fair at Chicago, the presi dent declared that “if the peop'e in te daily management of their mod- est domestic affairs, note that the great Interests of their governments and of their semi-public Institutions are dealt with tn a spirit of laxity and a mood of carelessness. they find Uttle inspiration to apply bet- ter methods in the managemert of their own concerns. The great busi- ness operations which are constant: ly under the public eye ought to be Landled so as to make them an ex- ample in sound procedure. “The, importance of sound busi- ness methods was never so great as it is today. It is particularly thus that government business should be placed on a basis of rigid-economy. “In our modern society public and | private savings, are transmuted quickly into capital available for production. The increased produc. tion kes goods more plentiful and therefore cheaper; and at the lower price level people can afford te consume more. The real disas- ter.to a modern community comes when an easy and {ll-considered con- sumption prevents the storing away capital to meet the ever-in. ng demands.” Coolidge commended sponsors for placing thelr work establishing set, with a result that all ex- es werg met before the doors ly to be opened. This omplishment, he added, triking contrast to the average project of like character, supported in y fashion out of public funds.” “I know of nothing more calcu- lated to promote the pride of vigor- ous community life, the sentiments of self-respecting nationalism, the truest loyalty to high traditions of national character, than these dis- tinctive assemblies of the people,” declared the president “If we could find means to bring all the people and groups of the people truly to know and understand each other I am confident most of Mr. of the fair on a business basis by presents a * our social problems would have been started well on the way to solution. It is not intolerance, so much as ignorance, that leads men and nations into antagonisms.” Pointing out the benefits to be gained from holding the fair which opened in Chicago, Mr. Coolidge said, “Our country wants its arts and sclence, its commerce and agri- culture, its production and transpor- tation, its education and invention, not merely that they may be used in the market place, the factory and the field, but that they may all be translated into the home.” “All of these efforts,” he added “are for broadening the outlook on life, for making better men and women; they all haye the purpose to become effective forces at the fireside. For long ages past, men have forth into the world: more recently they shave been fol lowed by women. Each is endowed with the same desire. each attempt ing to contribute to the satisfaction of the universal longing of the hu man race to bring something bet ter home. By the contribution that It can make to that high purpose, the success of the fair will be meas. ured.” The Parent’s Debt What do parents owe their chil dren?

There is not a state, not a county, not a community, that isn’t paying a heavy price for having too few permanent roads, There are still many sections of the country—even whole states—that are trying to operate twentieth century traffic over nineteenth century roads. This is costingmillionsof dollars every year, and will keep.on costing millions until we have well developed permanent highway systems everywhere. Even what we often call-the more progressive communities are far behind the demands of modern highway traffic with its 17,000,000 motor vehicles.
