Why walt for January? Every month is laugh month in the United States, when you think about the kind of aircraft management we have, and our complete failure to remedy a miserable situation.

Mf war came now, between this na- thon and a nation well supplied with fighting airships, this nation would wind up in the mud, And the fault would be the gov- ernment of the United States, dis- couraging :men that understand fly- inz, confiding the flying problem of the country to “big butter and egg men.” A nation that only talks, while other nations build flying ma- chines, is headed for trouble. This is such a nation. i be law allows each dog “one bite.” Unless it can be proved that the dog is biting for the second time, he and his owner are not re- ible. In Chicago the rule seems to be that each lady, especially if married, is entitled to “one shoot.” Mrs, Mary Kuna, who killed her husband, and who hag just been acquitted by a Chicago jury, is the last of a long and honorable line.

LIQUOR SEIZURES LARGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—{United Press.}—Liquor valued at more than $2,500,000 in English mar- kets, has been selred by the coast guard from rum smuggiers this year up to December 1, the treas- ury department announced to- night. This boore at bootleggers’ pric- es should be worth more than $5,- 000,000, it was sald. More than 500 vessels have been Impounded. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—() —tEvidence of more exten- sive participation by govern- ment forces in the recently exposed operations of a gi- gantic rum syndicate, that Las heretofore been realized is prom- ised the federal government Monday by United States District Attorney Emory, Buckner . Buckner clainis to hays proof that coast guard cytters actually landed rum from schooners when high seas hampered the ring’s own speed boats, “The isstiance of forty-threo war- rants andthe arrest of twenty is but a start," Buckner said today. ..: “I have. information , that casts strong reflection on federal prohibi- tion and New York police forces as well a& additional coast guards, and these reports will be thoroughly in- vestigated,” Wiliam Dyer, alleged brains of the syndicate,/and a score of others including six coast guardsmen, have already been arrested. A confession obtained froth one of them is said by Buekner to reveal the actual participation of coast guard cutters in landing the liquor, This confession implicates the ct- ficers of the cutter, who hitherto had been belleved innocent of lend- ing their service to the ring. It is itnended to charge the officers each recelyed $1,000 and each man of the crew $240 for thelr work in landing the cargo of liquor. When asked whether police -and prohibitior agents were actually in- volved in the evidence, Buckner maintained that rum running had been going on almost unhindered over the principal Long Island roads and recalls that a memorandum found on Phillips Coffey, alleged chief “fixer” for the ring, sted $4400 for “road expenses.” Buckner also sald that a witness (Continued on Page Two) ‘Coast Guard falters Used Fe woisih ¢ 5 [THE ITEM OF MONEY SAVING (eprronta) Ever since the announcement of purchase of the Herald by the Tribune, congratulations have poured into the offices of the merged newspapers, friends have called in great num- bers and the mails and wires have been burdened with mes- sages from friends and well-wishers at points throughout the state and ‘neighboring states Enthusiastic approval is the general tenor of the people who telephone, write or call. It could not welt be otherwi: from a business point of view. Without going into the details of publication costs, say that the approximate costs of issuing the Herald under separate ownership was $150,000 a year and that’ the costs under the merger were no more than fifty per cent of that sum, by reason of the Tribune's superior facilities, reduction of ‘ag centralined management and other items of overhead, I peachy apparent that there is a saving to the public of pal $75,000. At the samo time there has not been the slightest impair- ment in service rendered. Instead of advance in cost of product, as some might expect, there has been a substantial lowering of such costs. Not to speak of the convenience, of transacting business that exists .today. Advertising patrons, formerly paying cut two costs for space are now receiving the same space at practically half the former cost. In other words, the rate for general adyertising inthe two papers is now no more, and in many cases less, than it formerly was for one paper. This is the day of merging, combining and consolidating for industrial economy: and it is approved by the public, just as in’ former days it was feared by them. The object is exaetly. ¢ the Satine as it Was when they called consolidations and merg- ers, trusts, The object. being.efficiency.of duced. cost of/the article produced. That's what the big: organ izations accomplished, in their day. That's what the rings of the Tribune and Herald together under one management is doing. today. It is:ereating.a better: business situation for all concerted.’ < People have, after some bitter and expensive experiences, learned that haying.two telephone ‘companies: in. the same town is a nuisance, is expensive and altogether an, unsatis- factory service, or maybe no seryice at all. One telephone sery+ ier at a fair rate‘is all any patron’ could use, and all he could. possibly wish. This affords the company the opportu- nity to trunk! line the town, have all the seryice in the onc system. Public opinion does the rest. So with light and power service., Who in Casper would go back to the days of snarling rival companies with their cut throat: policies and uncertain service?. No one. Who does not prefer the perfect power and light, service*we receive today with its thousands of satisfied customers. It is possible only under one company with all possible waste climinated, and a system that is justified under no rivalry. So with*the gas company, so with the bus company..So with all public ufilities. They deliver the goods at the minimum of cost, when treated fair. The newspaper’ may be regarded in the same light. It is as much a public servant as any of them. The old view that it is an eleemosynary institution has at last gone out. It is one of the most highly organized business servants in the modern world and one of the most faithful.. The merger of the two daily papers in Casper has ent out a vast amount of dplication, waste and unnecessary cost. The public is receiving all it ever received, in better form than it ever received it and what is most important at less cost. An absolute saving of fifty per cent to the community for an article necessary in its daily use ought to be welcome in- formation.

Senate republicans held their pre- session conference without éven dis- cussing the question of whether Sen- ator LaFollette of Wisconsin, !s to be treated. as one of thelr group. Although invited to this conference Mr. LaFollette absented himself, and while it was in progress he was in conference with republican tn surgents of the Wisconsin delegation in the hotise, At the same time the republican cammittes on committees in the house carried out the policy adopted by the party caugua last spring of remoying the supporters of the late Robert “M. La Folletta from the ey” committees. John M.
