UNDERSHERIFF KILLED
BY INCONSISTENCIES

SHERIDAN, Oct. 8.-Undersheriff
w. 8. McPherren. one of the best
known peace officers OF the state,
was shot and instantly killed in a
battle with moonshiners or whisky
runners which occurred about 10
O'Clock last night at a point two
miles north Of Monarch. The men
who did the shooting gave the names
Of Mckinney and Monk Stanton.
Both were badly wounded, Sheriff
Thomas accounting for one and the
other being shot through the body
by one Of the posse. Both are In
custody and are being guarded by
government officers.
A federal agent who has been
working in this vicinity made the
acquaintance of the. men and ar
ranged to buy some whisky which
they were to deliver last night. They
kept the tryst and delivered the
booze. but as the posse which had
been concealed drew near they
opened fire on them with rifles. Nc
Pherren fell at the first fire with a
bullet through the stomach and liver.
He died almost instantly.
Sheriff Thomas. who was leading
the posse, with his men returned the
fire and Mckinney, who it is be-
Iieved shot McPherren. fell with a
bullet through the face. The other
man received a bullet through the
body. Both were placed under guard
ard the body of the dead officer
brought to the city.
Mr.. McPherren was one OF the
best known officers in the state. For
many ears he was a member OF the
Sheridan police force and upon the
election Of Mayor Camplin was ap-
pointed chief. a position which he
held until a few months ago when
he resigned to become undersheriff.
In the posse organized by Sheriff
Thomas to capture the men were the
undersheriff. Deputy Bud Newcomer,
Justice John F. Raper. Roy Bedford,
County Attorney Harvey Lonabaugh
and three government men.

THIS SIGN Is CERTAIN

Some of the old settlers have a
habit of looking at the bark Of trees
or the fur of animals and then fore
casting the weather. They say 1t is
going to be a mild winter or a severe
winter according to these signs.
We know of n sign that never
fails. If you see a nan who has a
good job. plenty of coal in his coal
bins and a nice bank account-for
that man at least 1t will be a mild
winter.
Thrift always pays big rewards.
We do not know of a better plan
for those who want to assure them
selves a mild winter every year than
to adopt the three rules OF thrift:
Earn-spend carefully-and save.

HOW FAR IS SHIRLEY?
Not So Far That the Statements of
Its Residents Cannot he Verified

Rather an interesting case has
been developed in Shirley. Being
SO near by. it is we'll worth publish
ing here. The statement is sincere
the proof convincing:
H. Coolican, ranchman, Shirley,
WyO., says:
Anyone engaged in my occupa-
ton required a good. sound back.
When that part of the body aches
and pains after a days work or
there are sharp shooting twinges
through the loins they cause great
distress. My advise to those troub-
led in that way is to get Doan's Kid
ney Pills. In my Ease they proved
true to the claims made for them"
Lasting Results
Over ten years later Mr.. Coolican
said: II have been free from all kid
ney trouble since I last made a
statement recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills. I am just as glad to
recommend them now as ever"

Woolen goods and sugar, which
accounted for 6 per cent and rs per
cent before the war, were not i'm
portant exports in 1920.
Raw materials. other than coal,
such as potash, sugar and timber
may yield Q trif1e. But 1t Is clear
that Germany can only compass an
export trade of-great value by ex-
porting iron and steel goods, chem
fcals, dyes. textiles and coal: for
these are the only export articles Of
which she can produce great guam
titles.
Il Is also clear that there have
been no very marked changes In the
proportionate Importance Of the df.
fcrent export trades since the war,
except thst tho exchange position
has somewhat stimulated, relatively
to the others, lthose export lines,
such as iron goods, machinery,
chemicals, dyes and glass, which do
not Involve much importation Of raw
materials. ..,...,. ~

This 10 the second or a series Of
foe articles on "The Ecossoic Out
look for Europe and America" by
J. AZ. Keynes, the noted Byitish
author. He discusses "The Nep
Reparction Settlement and the
Worlds Trade." The other three
articles soiH appear IN s,tcceeding
tissues Of The Sunday Washing
tom Times.
TN last weeks article my figures
were based on a volume Of Ger
man export trade about as ut
present. On this basis It was evil
dent that Germany could not pay.
But suppose that. with the help Of a
deprecated exchange and q low
standard of life. she were vastly to
expand her exports, what would be
the reactions Of this on the trade of
the rest of the world?
Iwill examine this question little
closely, because 1t Is a matter on
which public interest is now aroused.
and because in the countries Of Ger.
many's chief trade competitors. it
may have decisive importance in in.
fluencing public opinion.
The Washington times., 1921-09-04

the likelihood Of a great expansion
ofSGerman trade in the near future.
II there is a general trade revival.
doubtless she will share In It. IL
world prices rise again. her, exports
will be worth more. But ! believe
that the fears Of Germany's under.
cutting world prices on = large scale
are much exaggerated. For many
Of the factors which enable her to
do SO at present are necessarily tenn
porary.
In the first place, when trade is
bad, comparatively small lines OF
goods offered at very low prices
have an importance. in the minds OF
traders. which will disappear when
trade revives and prices are no
longer capable Of being dominated
by small offerings.
In the second place. export trade
Is subsidized not by . deprecated
exchange, but by . dcprcciating ex.
change. When the external pur.
chasing power of the mark is fall.
ing faster than the internal purchas.
ing power. German exporters bene.
fit at the expense Of the rest Of Ger.
many. And even q depreciating ex.
change Is no help, when deteriora.
ton has gone beyond a certain point.
This particular stimulus Is. there.
fore, necessarily temporary.
In the third place. low costs Of
production are at present made pos.
sible In Germany In certain trades
BY what are. i1 effect, government
subsidies. Coal, housing, transport
and food are all obtainable at arti.
ficially low prices. the cost Of main
tanning which is a part of. the, ex.
PLANTATION Of Germany's budgetary
deficit. The subsidies are especially
beneficial to the iron ana steel
trades. But IL Germany Is to make
any pretense of balancing her bulge:
these subsidies will have to 60. II
the subsidies continue, initiation win
hsve to proceed At such rate as to
undermine At . very early date the
whole financial structure. But IL
they are abolished. the present arti-
ficial cheapness OF many articles
must 60. too.
The case Of coal is particularly
important. The average price of
coal has been 275 marks a ton, that
Is to say. about $3.50: included in
this is a tax OF 50.56 marks a ton.

ficiency In the same degree. and
partly by German export Industries
being subsidized. directly or indirect
ly, at the expense Of the rest Of the
community.
If these conditions were to per-
sist over q long period of years.
the result would obviously be in
furious to similar competing indus
tries. which would be forced to re-
duce their scale of operations and
to divert their labor into other
channels.
These particular industries would
certainly, suffer. But we shall fall
into the protectionist faliacy IL we
pass from this to the further con.
clusion that the receipt Of an In
demnity is necessarily injurious to
those that receive II. 49,. "
In exscting an indemnity . coun.
try b compelling the inhabitants OF
another country to work for Il, and
Il follows that II win have less
work to do itself on the particular
articles In which the conquered
country pays It's tribute.
But, since in course of time the
displaced labor can find employ
ment in producing other useful ob-
jects the country receiving the in
demnity will be, on balance, richer
than before.
The Washington times., 1921-09-04
Export Outlook.

But I must preface what ! have to
say by the statement that, In my
own judgment, this ground Of alarm
is exaggerated. do not believe that
q deprecated exchange and low
standard Of life are permanent ad-
vantages In international trade. II
they were, there is no country which
could hope to compete with Poland
or Russia. In my own mind am
quite certain that the matter will
end, not in Germany's capturing
the trade Of the world, but simply in
her failure to pay what the Allies
have demanded. But it is neverthe-
less worth while to examine the Sec
ond horn Of a dilemma. even when
It is probably the first horn which
will deliver the coup de grace.
Besides, Mr.. Lloyd George has,
from the very beginning Of the con-
troversy, kept this argument up his
sleeve, as q means of escape from
other promises, and It will not be
long before he is reminding US that
during the general election itself, in
the Newcastle speech Of November
2s, 1918. he accompanied his prom
ise of an indemnity with explicit
words Of warning" to the effect
that she ought to pay, she must
pay as far as she can, but we are not
going to allow her to pay in such a
way as to wreck our industries"
Suppose Germany was to expand
her export trade to three times Its
present volume, what articles Il It
likely that she would be exporting
ON . great scale?
II we are considering, not the re-
mote but the immediate future.
there can be no great mystery about
It. The following table shows the
proportions in which her export
trade was divided between the prin.
cipal articles Of export a. in 1913
(2) In the first nine months Of 1920
(the latest period for which figures
are available):

Indemnity Evils.

Now to compel Germany to pay q
large indemnity Is the same thing
as to compel her to expand some or
all Of the aforementioned exports
to a greater extent than she would
do otherwise. The only way In
which she can effect this expansion
fs by Offering the goods at a lower
price than that at which other coun.
tries care to offer them. This might
come about, to an extent which
would not be the case in the alb
scence Of pressure to pay repars.
tons. partly by the German work.
ing-classes lowering their Standard
The Washington times., 1921-09-04
Coal Credited.

The most obvious source Of reve-
nue. for the German government is
a great increase in this tax. which
is indeed proposed: for the price of
coal could be raised by 200 marks
a ton without being unduly high
in relation to world prices.
There ID an additional incentive
to the German government to raise
this tai, because under the treaty
Of Versailles reparation coal deliv.
cred overland Is credited to Ger.
many at the German homo price.
Hence. by increasing the home
price Germany will Increase what
Is credited to her for reparstion
coal.
There 10 also another considera-
ton. The more Germany exports.
the greater will be her liabilities
under the sliding scale. The ex.
port percentage is levied at q fiat
rate on all types Of exports: It
even falls on the deliveries in
kind which are not commercial
exports but are handed over to
the Reparation Commission with.
out payment 70. g. when Germany
delivers coal to the Reparatlon
Commission, she has in addition to
pay cash to the extent of twenty.
six per cent OF the value Of the
coal, because the coal Is an ex-
portD
Where, therefore, exports con-
tain . high proportion Of previ.
ouly imported raw material, Ger
many may be actually worse off
by developing such trade than BY
leaving Il alonei
In effect, there will be, so far
as the nation rs whole Is con.
cerned, a tax of twenty-six uer
cent on exports--which will hardly
tend in the long run to stimulate
exports.
The conclusion Of this article Is.
therefore, that the purchaslng
power Of the paper mark inside
Germany will tend to fall, 50 that
the stimulus to export due to the
present excess Of the Internal over
the external purchasing power win
tend to diminish, and that, for this
and other reasons, the competition
Of German exports may not be no
severe In the long run rs some
people think. r..
II, however, the exchange value
Of the mark depreciates further,
which the enforcement Of the pres
ent reparation demands must bring
about, Germany's capacity to ex.
port at prices much below those
with which her trade rivals Gun
compete, may persist for some
time yet; and an attempt on the
Allies part to persevere for an
other two years with q policy
which they are certain to abandon
sooner or later. may do much In
Jury to the normal equilibrium of
international trade and thus i'm
poverish everyone.

nee upon a Time there was

U. s. to Suffer Least.

These simple economic truths
must be kept in mind. But the ap.
plication of them to the present,
case involves two conditions which.
also, must be kept in mind. The
first is that the country, certain
of whose staple trades are under
cut, must, II 1t is not to suffer. be
the same country as that which re-
ceives the indemnity. The second
is that this state Of affairs must
be reasonably permanent, SO as to
give time for a new equilibrium To
be set up.
Now. in the case Of Great Brit
ain. the first Of these two condi-
tions is not fulfilled. Great Britain
Is to receive, not the whole of the
indemnity. but about a fifth Of it.
Germany's staple export industries
happen, as Is well known, to coin.
eide with those Of Great Britain
to a remarkable extent, not
equalled In the case of any other
pair Of nations manufacturing for
export on a large scale.
The United States would suffer
less than Great Britain from the
forced subsidifation Of German ex.
ports; but on the other hand she
is to receive no part Of the in.
demnity.
France, however, though son,s
Of her industries. too, would be up.
set. is to receive half the in
demnity and would probably gain
on balance. Here, then, there is a.
divergence Of interest between
France and Great Britain, best
adjusted perhaps. by the forgive.
ness Of existing debts and by some
priority to France in respect Of
reparation receipts. especially a.
both these concessions are desir.
able on other grounds.
The second Of the conditions,
namely tho pcrmanence Of repar.
alton payments on q large scale,
Is, to say the least, not safely &c.
cured. Who believes that the
Allies will. over period Of one
or two generations, exert ade.
