KICK, IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR TRIBUNE Tf you don't fin Tribune after lo and it will be ¢ to you by special rx before & nger, Playing Peanut Politics The following is.taken from the Salt Creek ‘Gusher: “A petition protesting against the attitude of the Casper Tribune in condemning the county commissioners for expend- ing money on the Salt Creek-Lavoye road, signed by @ good many of the citizens of Salt Creek and the field, was published in the Casper Herald Sunday morning. The people expressed their indignation in no uncertain language and denounced The Tribune for its misleading statements and unfair stand ‘to- jward the commissioners. The Salt Creek-Lavoye road is the cheapest piece of road the county ever built. A large part of the money was contributed by the oil companies and other interests who felt the need of thé road. It is used more than } any road in-the field except the main highway and a paper that will let its hostility toward the board of county comr sioners crit sorting to t is- ze a piece of road that is so badly needed is’ re- 8 unbe ng a newspaper that claims to be ate. The Casper Tribune had hetter * in its news and editorial policy if good will of the people of the Salt ' ent ont the peanut polit { its wants to retain th Creek field.

The Milwaukee railroad as a matter of economy through the Cascade mountains, electrified its line over this difficult piece of road; and at terminals, notably at Baltimore, and other centers, other lines, to obviate:the smoke nuisance and comply with local ordinances, did the same thing. i i But when the motor vehicles on short runs began to eat into railroad revenues, the steam lines were completely knock- ed off the Christmas tree. They apparently lacked the initia- tive to defend themselyes. Trains on branch lines and. subur- ban runs were discontinued because of the failure of revenue to meet expenses, and when stromy weather arose, these'trains were not put back and the people had no accommodation. The roads were immeasurably injured by this circumstance. There is, however, at this time an inclination to better service and answer public demands, on the part of steam roads, by preparing to motorize their rail lines and use motor busses under other situations. i The railroads must wake up and answer competition from whatever source it may come, if they would. remain abreas of the times Progress Reported settlement of negotiations between the | fits anada over the program for joint offici The fi States and ¢ gation of the St rence waterway project marks a dé stey t ress toward determination of ucts a therefore t of the problem. The engineering work will start e, Oc ss having appropriated 5,000 for * the purpose and the Canadian government having made. the necessary appropriations. Paralle] with this investigation, there will also be an investigation of the projected deep water- way from the Great Lakes to the Hudson river, to determine its feasibility, cost and operating expenses. These two investi- gations should be completed within approximately twelve months and it will then be possible to finally determine nat fonal ‘policies 1 to proceed with active steps in realization of the lake-to-seu connection. At the same time an exhaustive survey of the economic aspects of these outlets from the Great Lakes, the value of the devolopment of electrical power from the St. Lawrence canal and other questions will be continued bythe department of commerce ne Without Us difficr : he senate of the United States to ratify any treat supporters of the league of na tions, that they suggest le America out of the approach ing conference in ¢ ntrol of traffic in arms.

Cribune lines, and in the years since that resolution was adopted by rape grandfathers, quite-a number of the faithful have gone the route. The Insurance Business Fire-insurance stock companies, 252. in number, including . 97 per cent of the total, increased their assets during 1924 by $122,679,928. They paid dividends amounting to. $31,523,064, which was an increase of $641,766 over the dividends paid in 1923. Losses paid amounted to $469,980,642, an‘ increase ‘of nearly $17,000,000, and expenses were $344,481,547,' an increase of about $10,000,000, Net premiums collected during. the year ggregated $329,797,589,a decrease of nearly $17,000,000. Total income was $911,659,220. The increase in assets is due largely to increased market value of securities held by the companies. As a side line there was a large increase in hail insurance, each of -thirtr one companies having written $200,000 or more of net premiums. Ocean and inland marine insurance, carried by some of the companies, was not so great as during the war. ‘The Bull Dog of the Treasury In’ four years the bureau of the budget has pruned from executive estimates a total of'$1,203,711,929. It is the unalter- able intention of the president of the United States to cut taxes down and relieve the people, all of whom are affected by taxes. There are hundreds of active, live organizations cre- ated and operated for the purpose of getting money out,of the federal treasury. There is but one organization, the bureau of the budget, created and operated for the purpose of protect- ing the treasury. When the director of the bureau of the bud: get becomes popular he-should immediately be dismissed. The Modern Babylon New York is pictured as the modern Babylon, degraded below Berlin or Paris, in the fifty-first annual report of the New York society for the suppression of vice. Licentious and salacious matter purveyed by stage, motion pictures and’ book- stands is held responsible, and a state licensing law for thea- trical producers and a clarification of the act against obscene literature is adyocated. Europe is gradually getting back to. the gold standard again. And here is William J. Bryan devoting his time to evo- lution, and not doing a thing about the cross of gold. Mexican officials state that their country is about to enter an era of peace, prosperity and good will. If Mexico can come back there ought to be some hope for Europe.

The commission is to report to the president on “the LZ /E most practical methods of utilizing to the best ad- vantage the Muscle Shoals facili- tles.” It is expected the report will be submitted in the fall in time to enable the president to incorpor its suggestions in his annual mes- sage. | Dial on Commission Other members of the commission are. former Senator Nathaniel B. Dial of South Carolina, a Democrat; Prof. Harry. A. Curtis of Yale uni- versity; Willlam McClellan, an ele: trical ‘engineer of New York Cit and Ruesell F.

McKenzie, who retired from con- gress on March 4, after declining to seek re-election, supported the Henry Ford offer when the Muscle Shoals bill was passed by the house. When the Ford offer was withdrawn he joined with senate conferees in fram- ing a bill based on the Underwood private leasing bill passed by the senate. Born on a farm in Woodbine town- ship, Jo Da s county, Ill.,in Feb- ruary of 1860, McKenzie was edu- cated In the public schools, read law in the office of Judge W. T..
