o MUCH TALK.

instructions have been given to all state prohibi-
ton directors and enforcement officers" announces
the Washington Post, that they are hereafter to de-
vote their time and energy exclusively to their off,
cial duties and not to the making of speeches or lob
bying for dry legislation. This warning comes direct
from the secretary of the treasury and the commits
sioner of internal revenue, and is of such a positive
character that no intelligent person can fail to under
stand its significance. Prohibition officials are expected
to attend strictly to business and stop propaganda
work. Their duty is to enforce the law as it is and
not to influence public sentiment or shape legislation.
THE matter came to the attention of high treasury
officials through protests from various parts of the
country and from senators and representatives against
the activities of certain prohibition agents. One gen.
eral agent in Pittsburgh delivered an address before
a church meeting, in which he severely criticized the
federal court of that district for not inficting as Sc
we're penalties upon certain violators of the Volstead
act as he thought should have been imposed. The
federal grand jury took cognizance of the published
reports of this speech and conducted an investigation,
as a result of which a p~resentment was made to the
court denouncing the agent as unfit to hold his Of
flee and suggesting that steps be taken to punish him
for contempt of court. The court, however, took no
action further than to forward the presentment to
Washington.
1.-THE instructions issued with a view to quieting the
propagandist activities of dry officers and command
ing them to give their time and energies to their off
cial duties are entirely justified and are in the inter-
est of good public service. They should apply to all
connected with the administration of the prohibition
laws, from the prohibition commissioner himself down
to the warehouse guards. Efficient enforcement Of
the law calls for their exclusive attention to their du-
ties, and they should be made to understand that their
allegiance is to the government and not to any or
ganization, wet or dry. The courts are quite COM
petent to deal with offenders according to law with
out any advice or criticism from department agents.
similar instructions could be given to other gov
eminent employees with good effect Some of them
are addicted to the public-speaking habit to such an
extent that their frequent absences from Warrington
while they are away. This is a splendid time for gov
eminent officers to set an example of diligence"

KEEPING 1T AT HOME.

There has been much spoken and written from the
text Keep tho money at home" The subject is one
entirely worth consideration, and its practice in the
concrete is to be desired much above mere theoriz-
ing. 1t can to certain extent be inculcated in the
minds of those who love their state and community
and they will to the extent Of their ability patriotic
ally practice it in their business; but the thoughtless
ones SO greatly outnumber the patriotic ones as to
nullify the general good effect.
There Is nothing unfair or selfish in the proposition
that the state from which large quantities of raw ma.
terials are obtained that a fair return should be rem.
dered that state for them. Neither is it to be consid.
cred a matter of efrontery to insist that when a com.
munity is exploited in a business or commercial way
that an opportunity be afforded to somewhat even
up on transactions. The principle Of reciprocity is a
wen-established and most valuable one in the gen.
eral affairs of life, and found to be of mutual adyan.
tage to those applying it.
If concerns who have their locations elsewhere and
use Wyoming strictly as a field for profit cannot see
that they are under moral if not legal obligation to
do their part in return then there should be statutes
compelling such action.
For instance, if a New York life insurance COM
pany comes into Wyoming soliciting business the pre-.
miums for which are taken back to New York or else.
where for final investment is permitted to do those
or invests its surplus in Wyoming it becomes an act
OF unfairness to the home company and should be
remedied by laws which would compel the foreign
company to do its duty in similar manner by the
state and its people, for the franchise to do bushes,
within the state granted it.
The same is true of other out Of state financial. in.
vestment, oil and other concerns who come into the
state, garner the wealth of the people and depart
without adequate return for the privilege.
Keeping the money at home" has a very useful
would avoid its enforcement, but when a people do
not look after their own business interests thew will
find many willing and busy friends from a distance
doing it for them-bu always at their cost.

MIXED JURIES.

Mixed juries are now becoming the usual thing in
the courts of the land, and without supplemental legs
lntion embarrassing situations are bound 10 arise Els,
pecially after the court has instructed the jury ana
placed it in charge Of the sheriff or the balm with
the caution that under no circumstance Is the jury 10
be separated from the moment it leaves the court
room to consider the case in hand until it returns to
announce the verdict
As a usual thing jury rooms are cheoriess places:
They have few, If any comforts. This, upon the old
theor- that such conditions would induce prompt
verdicts.
1t often occurs that juries require as long as forty
eight hours to reach n verdict or to determine that a
verdict is impossible. Meanwhile the jury must not
be separated.
Formerly, when men only served upon jures, the
officer in charge knew what to do when it came time
to tuck the jury into bed for the night. It is with
extreme hesitancy that We inquire just what is the
etiquette in these days of mixed juries?
A hotel sample room with twelve cots and an easy
chair for the bailiff with all doors locked and win
dows secured has been the prevailing style. Now we
can only imagine backing a Pullman car into the
courthouse lobby as the best means Of observing the
proprictes.
Yes there must be some change in the laws and
the courts regulations respecting the housing of ju-
ries or there will be a lot Of talk in the sewing cir.
Gle and the woman's club.

TAX RETURNS ARE CONFIDENTIAL

The conferees on the tax revision bill did wisely in
striking out the provision giving congress authority
to call upon the treasury department for income tax
returns of corporations and individuals. The govern.
ment has gone quite far enough with interference in
private affairs. The treasury department, with the
cooperation of the department of justice, has ample
authority to see that every man and every corporation
makes an honest return of his taxable income. The
responsibility for the faithful performance of that
duty should be left with the department. where it is
lodged. 1t is quite possible that the treasury depart.
ment will not in all cases secure complete returns and
collect all the taxes legally due, but there is no likeli-
hood that constant inquiries from congress and de.
mands for inspection of the records would result in
any material increase in collections or in expedition of
the work. There is delay and confusion enough
already.
But aside from that phase of the matter, the in.
come tax returns should remain inviolate except for
the single question of their accuracy. If congress or
a congressional committee could and did call for in
come returns, and made them subject to committee
inspection, there would be no further possibility of an
INDIVIDUAL or corporation keeping his business affairs
secret. Business competition is always keen. Rivals
will frequently resort to extreme measures to ascer-
iun the financial status Of their competitors. Infor-

LOYALTY TO THE LAWS.

You can always turn back to Lincoln for inspira-
ton, not only for guidance in public affairs but in all
affairs of life. In this day of lack of respect for the
law it is refreshing to reread this master on the sub
ject:
LET every American, every lover Of liberty, every
well wisher of posterity, swear by the blood of the
Revolution never to violate in the least particular the
laws of the country, and never to tolerate their viola
tion by others.
"As the patriots of '7e did to the Declaration of
independence, so to the support Of the Constitution
and the laws let every American pledge his life, his
property and his sacred honor.
Let every one remember that to violate the law
is to trample on the blood of the fathers and tear the
charter of his own and his children's liberties"
