It has been an open secret for seve years, Lately these matters in detail have been placed befo: the taxpaying public by an audit and analysis of count fairs. It has been sufficient to make every i * county writhe in indignation, ; This question remains: 1 main as it j one Or f taxpayer in the the matter to be allowed to re Are the officials—past ones as well as present ~to be called to an accounting for their acts and deeds? re they to be permitted to get away with their dirty work? _ Some decision and ited by the people. It is important to them. For upon it rests the immediate action of no inconsiderable number of our people, They want to know whether the tax money they rake and serape together and pay into the public treasury is to be frit- tered iy In extravagant and useless expenditures, and di- vided between officials and contractors and others, or whether it is to be administered honestly, disbursed judiciously and ac- counted for in proper business manner and with uprightness and fidelity to the people. * > More than one taxpayer bas asked the question of his hbor. Is it worth while to own property and struggle on in Cusper, under the circumstances, or ig it better to gO else. where, whore integrity and j tin publi & fre cont pelled by public opinion and where w rong doers are brought to justice promptly, Where fters are punished instead of created herocs? Vor the considered ion is aw ‘ood of Natrona county. These things must be Pruning Federal Service rom time to time there has been talk of climinating bunk nd buncombe from the federal service, but it has always been talk and nothing definite im the way of a program has eyer resulted, The ls e President Harding went farther than any pre- president in recognizing the necessity of reorganizing and consolidating government activities, but did not liye long enough to witness results from plans he had inaugurated. When Mr, Coolidge came into the 1 idency, his soul re- volted at the waste and duplication that had grown and ex- panded in the later years of the republic and he has in his di- rect Way set about abolishing a lot of folderol offices, which if they ever had u legitimate excuse for existence that excuse is no longer tenable, and these offices remain only a drain upon the taxpayers. Applying his program of economy the president is now engaged in actually executing his plans. Washington, which consists of those persons safe- ly inArenched in the pay roll tranches, is of course, horrified, Th is something almost sacriligeous as these people see it, iy/the thought of dropping people from the payroll, especially Piven they have fine. h-sounding titles, as well as beauti- i] montlily pay checks, 3 No doubt, as fur as lies in their power, these white collar gentlemen will resist and attempt to block the president's plans, but he will have the support of the people of the nation who will cordially approve his retrenchment plans. Mr. Coolidge is the very person to lay down the axiom that while making two blades grass yw where one grew before is co! and proper from an cultural standpoint that the Washingtonian habit of developing two highly paid jobs or commissions, where even the existence of one is not justified, should be stopped. The “Big Business” Bugaboo It has been more and more of habit, during the last twenty years, to blame every economic ill that happens along on “Wall Street” and “Big Business” but a recent survey of the National Industrial conference board suggests that “Big Business,” at least, is a convenient myth of the soapbox school * of oratory e For the beard found by an analysis of the 1 census, 03.2 per cent of the 196.267 manufacturing establishments in the United States employ 100 worker le Seventy-one per nt have from 1 to 20 ew on thelr payrolls, Tending a bit to support the soapl iker’s theory is the fact that ¢ per cent of the plan or 7,333, turn out 59 per cent of the manufactured goods in the United States, but there are proportionately very few large concerns nevertheless, When “business” is assailed by a political demagogue whose economic theories are faulty but plausible, he may be aiming his shafts at the | than 4 per cent of American manufacturers, In realty, however, he is hitting. the tens of thousands of smaller establishments throughout the country, whose activities contribute to the welfare and prosperity of the village and the big city alih Big Business” in the United States the analysis indi ute in in reality mostly a multitude of small businesses, Big Liquor Deal The largest legitimate liquor deal in the United States since prohibition was the sale of the Overholt distillery, found ed in 1810 by Abraham Overholt, grandfather of Henry Clay Frick, to Park and Tilford, grocers of New York city, with 1,800,000 gollons of whiskey by the Union Trust company of Vittsburgh, In 1880, Andrew W. Mellon, now seeretary of the treasury, acquired a third Interest In the plant, but he dis posed of his interests before joining the cabinet, The whiskey will be sold by the company through proper legal channels. At the prevailing retail medicinal price of #3 a pint, the whis key alone would be worth & 0,000, Park and Tilford have offered the whiskey to the g rnment to be for medical purposes by physicians and hospitals used High Court Decisions The United States supreme court has decided that publi tion by newspapers of lists containing the names of income taxpayers is perfectly legal and proper and that the provis jons of the 1024 luw supersede all previous statutes, Other decisions of interest were that that Japanese or Chinese wives of Americans are not permitted to enter this country under the-immigration act of 1% that a native born Japanese in not eligible to become a citizen, despite the fact that he may baye served in the army; that the federal gov: ernment has no priority of claim in any bankruptey proceed- ings, except in the matter of tax collec ions; that the federal capital stock tax on corportations has to be computed on the yalue of the net assets of the company.

The canals form a length of 7,000 miles and No selected Viscount commissioner the Sudan leaders, than three of them are each wider and deeper than the Suez Canal it may safely be sald that the Lioyd Dam and its system of canals is the greatest construction Work ever as yet undertaken in India with a view to relieving the frequent famines due to the overcrowding of her teem- ing population of over 300,000,000. These famines have been cen- turies one of the most difficult prob- lems with which the successive governments of India have had to deal. Among Sir George Lloyd's quali fications for the post of British high commissioner / for Bgypt and the Sudan, with headquarters at Cairo and salary and allowances amount ing to $100,000, are his perfect mas- tery of Arabic and hig knowledge of everything in connection with Islam, espécially in relation to its Politicn! problems. It was because of his remarkable understanding of all these matters that Lord Kitch: ener appointed him early in the great war to assist him in organiz- ing the intelligence service in the Near East. Sir George Lic Lloyd, and Col. d, then Lieut.-Col. Thomas Lawrence obtained such extraordinary mas- tery over the various Arab tribes that the latter were ready to obey them implicitly and under their leadership to banish the Turks from Arabia and from the Holy cities of Islam. Sir George Lloyd belongs to an old Welsh family, {s son and grand son of county magnates, land own: ers and members of parliament Prior to the war he was employed without pay by the government in Persia, Mesopotamia and in south. ern Russia, the success of his vari- ous missions being largely due to his remarkable gift for the acquisition of Oriental languages. aon tor RIS Timely Views The food supply of the world ts falling behind so rapidly in propor: tlon to the growth of population that civilization is already in the first stages of a period when sweep-| ing. changes in world agricul tural condition muat take place HS ac ding England's fore mogt authority | agricultural | economics, Sir] Daniel Hal! who is now in the U. 8.

He believes eco nomic conditions will tend toward population control through ‘smaller families, What he ts concerned ubout ts the lack of man power to raise the crops, The organization of huge busi ness units to conduct farming and replace the one-man farms, and the resulting change in the social life of the rural communities which this will entail, is the olution which Sir Daniel forecasts for the world wide bread.and-butter problem, ‘This nization of society will begin within our generation, according to Sir Daniel. “When the amally independent farmers generally fail to make a@ go of jt,” he said, “the capital will see its opportunity and will step in with {ts advantage of large or- ganization and economical opera ton. Since 1900 there has been-- excepting in the war years—a steady upward trend of food prices ‘This is likely to increase to a point where capital will not be able to keep, its hands off, and then will come the new era of agriculture. “The general farm depression in this country, combined with the ap: Jeven take pleasu pearance of great farming units such as tho beet sugar Industry and the western wheat field develop- are evidences of the new Sir Daniel recently conducted an inspection tour of the Ames, Cor nel], Wiscousin, University of Illi- nols and New Brunswick, Canada, agricultural schools, He found that the number of agricultural students has fallen off, due to farming de pression, but he thinks the rise in wheat prices may*remedy this, In these schooly Sir Dantel is to place English agricultural students, who will examine American farm educa- tion extension methods. Sir Daniel suggested that the lonely, isolated farms of America may diggppear in large extent and give way to towns in the country, where the farm laborers will live and enjoy urban advantages while working for great ‘agricultural cor- porations who will control the sur. rounding farm lands. Not all the independent farms will disappear he thinks, for there will always exist a minority who prefer wor ing for themselves and they will be able to hold out against the tendency to standardization of farm labor. fhe Conditions which will bring about this situation already exist,” Sir Daniel said. ‘The lure of high elty wages is calling farmer boys. Good transportation js taking then more often to the cities where they fall under the spell. In 1922 in your country there was a total movement away from and to the farms of 3,000,000 people, 2,000,000 of them electing to abandon farm- ing.

Yet life is m¥earch after power. Emerson observes that «ll power 1s of one kind, @ shating of the na- ture of the world. “The mind that allel with tre laws of nature will be in the current of events and strong with thelr strength. “One man {s made of the same stuff of which events are made; is in sympathy with the course of things; can predict it. Whatever be- falls, befalls him first; so that he is equal to whatever shall happen. “A man who knows men, can talk of the men, is well on politics, trade, law, war, re ligion. Tor everywhere men are led in the same manners.” Here {s something to be remem- bered—‘'For everywhere men are led in the same manners.” “Th key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the “young orators describe.” Emerson observes; “but the key to all ages {s—Imbe- cility; Imbecility in the vast major- ity of men at all times, and even in heroes in all but certain eminent moments; victims of gravity, cus: tom and fear,” This gives force and power to the strong—that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original ac- tion.
