Redeem the
Waste Places
tBy F. W. Barber. Chicago. Ad-writer for the
Saratoga Sun

One great, supreme question is
confronting the American people
today, a question. that overshad-
ows all others of the moment, and
that is the much discussed one of
how to reduce the cost of living.
There is but one answer:
We MUST redeem the waste
places of III country-and the
waste men.
Food spectators are RESPONSE
Bile for much of it, but waste pla.
ces and waste men are RESPONSE
BILE for ever more.
Is it a matter for wonder that
food supplies are held at almost
famine prices when we are ON
fronted with the spectacle of hun
dreds of thousands of men tramp
ing the streets of cities and towns,
doing nothing and producing no.
thing, while within a few hours
walk of any of them lie broad
acres of land that are idle because
there are none to cultivate them2
Let us stop hanging the high
cost of living onto the war. 1t
may have had something to do
with the skyrocket rises, but very
little, because we are exporting
less than heretofore, a hundred
million dollars less in 1916 than
in 1918.
We may twist and squirm and
wriggle all we please, but we can
not escape the fact that the law of
supply and demand will regulate
the cost of that which we con-
sumo.
And, equally, we can moi es-
cape the fact that millions of
acres of land are idle because hun
dreds of thousands of men would
rather go hungry in Il city than
live ON the fat of the land on a
farm or ranch-would rather beg
at the back doors of city jewellers
than to ride in their own automo-
biles on country roads.
Harsh words, bat true!
We read of congress appointing
committees to "investigate the
high cost of living" But about
the only Investigating" that is
done is to see just how much
money can be extracted from the
public till in the shape of COM
mittee expenses"
If every idle man in Chicago
could be put to work OIL a ranch
in Wyoming the coming summer
the increase in the yield of food
stuffs for the state would be SO
staggering as to be almost beyond
belief.
And yet we sit around and
blame politics, and the poor old
over-burdened war, and every 9TH
or thing except the right thing.
We repeat, food spectators are
partly responsible, and they would
be in Jail if we had the courage
and energy to put them there
But we have neither.
The wholesale middle man is a
hog and should be kicked into
the pen with his brothers But
we are too Indifferent to do the
kicking.
The commission man will rob
you blind even if you have no
eyes.
And we turn the empty sockets
for another gouge.
The railroad demands it's pound
of flesh and takes two. Aud all
we do is to groan.
These things all have their
bearing, but they are small as
compared to the law of supply
and demand.

Horns area from the greatest in the
state to one of the smallest; the new
division project, if successful, still
further will reduce its area until it
classes with Unita and Hot Springs
The Wyoming State Fair needs
$4,000 to carry it through the next
two years, and if it does not get all of
this amount may as we'll go out of
business, according to Secretary An
son Highly OF the State, Fair commls-
sion, who is iDdustriously lobbying in
behalf OF the appropriation. The Fair,
the states needs $4,000 a year during
each OF the coming two years for its
support, and must have an additional
$4,000 to paw off a deficit from 1916
and 1916, with accumulated interest.
The State Fair is the only state in
%stitution the wants of which have
been made known to date. Every
other institution, the university ex-
cepte', will be heard from later, and
none is expected to distinguish itself
by the modesty Of its demand. One in
stitutlon, the Thermopolis hot springs
reserve, is particularly fortunate in the
matter of a friend at court, Represen-
tative Fred E Holdredge of Hot
Springs county being also superin.

OF interest to the larger cities of the
state. including Casper, Sheridan,
Laramie, Rock Springs and Cheyenne,
is a 'city manager" bill which is to
he introduced by Representative c.. A.
Semrad of Laramie county. 1t will
provide that cities of 5000 or greater
population may, if they desire, adopt
the so-called city management system
of government, where under a council
of three elected members, serving
without pay, may perform all munich
pal Legislative functions, while the
financial and other business affairs OF
the municipality will be controlled
and directed by a salaried business
manager selected by the council.
State Game Warden, Nate P. Will
son, and his deputies are engaged in
compiling the game bill, which they
hope to get into such generally accep-
table form that amendment on the
floor of the house will not be attemp-
ed. An innovation Incorporated in
the proposed bill is provision for a
resident isherman's licence of 81 90.
There now is n nonresident fisher
mans license of $500, but this clause
of the game laws has been imperative
because no penalty is provided for
violation of its provisions. The new
bill will carry the necessary penalty
clause.

Sunday school. The divine ap-
parently forgot the nature of his au-
dience and spoke for over an hour,
his remarks being of too deep a
character for the average juvenile
mind to comprehend.
