If You Would Haze Milk

take hundreds of millions of dollars
worth Of foodstuffs and cotton and
other materials and pay for these
when they have manufactured the
raw materials and sold the manufac-
tured products in the worlds
markets.
Such acredit would at once oper-
ate to stabilize exchange, and until
exchange is stabilized there is no
such thing as doing business on
large scale.
While waiting for more sensible
foreign policy and the good results
which will flow from it eventually,
but not all at once, it is up to us
to consider the best means of rails
ing revenue both to pay that portion
of the war debt which is soon due
and to meet the running expenses Of
government.
The present system of taxation is
vicious and destructive. Just at the
time when business ought to be en-
couraged in every possible way the
Government makes taxation as dis
couraging as possible to business.
Naturally we all expect a change
in this system of taxation. But
until a change is definitely made
and we all know exactly what we
have to pay in the way of taxes and
how these taxes are to be collected,
investments will stand still and pro-
duction and trade will wait.
What the country needs is GER
tainty.
Just as the policy Of refusing
to fix and make certain the German
indemnities has kept all Central
Europe in anxiety and financial dis
tress, so from its delay in definitely
adopting a new schedule of taxes the
Administration keeps the whole
United States in anxiety and
financial uncertainty.
We lose more in ninety days from
our refusal to trade with the Rus
sian republic alone than would pay
for all the salaries of all loafers who
draw Government wages.
The fundamental thing is to take
measures to reopen at 'once COM
munication and trade with every
people in the world; to encourage
by every possible means the growth
and the carrying trade of our mer-
chant marine; to arrange credits for
industrious nations abroad who want
to trade with us, who buy from us
and who can't pay cash down, and
then to fund and refund a con-
siderable part of our war indebted
ness so as to reduce the burden of
taxation under which business stag
gers and under which business is in
serious danger of being crushed.
No nation can be really prosper
Gus unless about everybody is
prosperous.
No people can be continuously
prosperous unless nearly all the
other peoples are prosperous.
Everything we do to help put am
other nation upon its financial feet
makes our own financial standing
more solid.
We are just about to rid our
selves, God be thanked! of an Ad-
ministration that knows no more of
economics and Of the fundamental
laws of trade and increase and
prosperity than a monkey knows of
the Hindoo Vedas. And while it is
impossible that the incoming Ad-
ministration can be so wholly and
SO viciously stupid, there is still
more reason to fear that it may not
act as promptly and as decisively as
it should upon the vital matters

MUCH BUILDING
ISUNDER Way
Lowering Prices Revive Ac-
tivity Among Architects
And Contractors
GETTING BACK TO
PRE-WAR CONDITIONS

While prices OF building materials
are dropping to near the pre-war
level and wages Of skilled workmen
materially reduced. architects of this
city say local building prospects are
unusually good.
with prices of builders supplies
very near to what they we're prior to
the war, there is every indication
that they have hit rock bottom and
can go no lower, declared c.. Norris
Whiteside. Jr.. Of Brown and White
side, architects. Work is proceed
ing at a steady pace and returning
TO normalcy, while wages Of labor
have been reduced in practically all
building trades.
Multiplying signs OF hopefulness
for both labor and the building
trades are seen in the sliding prices
OF material. The slump in building
has continued almost unabated for
many months, and although an i'm
mediate boom is not likely. the lull
has given way to a substantial scale
OF a aer witty. IL was stated by party
in position to know that carpenters,
bricklayers, hod-carriers, etc, can
be hired at rates unfathomed several
months ago. Hundreds Of carpen-
ters and bricklayers are seeking
work daily. while many have left the
city for other parts to work for half
the wages formerly paid here.
Extensive improvements have been
begun at the Electric Hose and
Rubber Co, this city, by Brown and
Whiteside. and John e. Healy and
Sons. other work started under the
supervision Of the firm follows:

wHEATLAND. wyo. May 1s.-As
a result Of the rejection Of a proposed
$50. 900 school bond issue by > iia
jority Of 20 at a special election held
here. IL seems possible that there may
be no grade schools in Whcatland
until January ], 1922.
The purpose OF the proposed issue
was to v a deficit OF $4,000 which
has accumulated for several years.
and which is now being carried by a
local bank. The bank has stated
that Il Is unable to carry the schools
longer, no relief being in sight until
the payment OF taxes next winter.
Accordingly Carson Adams. president
Of the school board, made an an
nouncement before the audience at
tending the class play this evening to
me effect that tho graded schools
would not be opened until January OF
next year, unless some relief appeared
not yet ascertainable.
Citizens voting against the bonds
stated that they were protesting
against the unwarranted act of the
school board in transferring funds
voted 10 raise the pay OF teachers to
a building fund that h electorate
