cal In their totals With Mr.. MondelI,s
statement. though there were some
differences in the details.
When President Harding returned
from his trip up the coast yesterday
he found the sentiment in the
House Of Representatives, as re-
ported to him. favorable to the re-
auctions In tax levy outlined and
supported BY Mr.. Mondell, Mr.. Mad
den, Chairman OF the Committee on
Appropriations; Mr.. Fordney, chair
man of the Committee ON Ways and
Means. and others. The re-examina-
ton by the Treasury of its estimates
was undoubtedly largely due to the
President's desire to meet the views
Of the leaders in Congress, which he
approved. The White House confer
snee was an Inspiration; It paved the
way forSan early adjustment of the
question of taxation and for the
early passage of a tax bill which will
repeal the excess profits tax, the in
come surtaxes about 40 per cent, the
so-called nuisance taxes, the trans
portation taxes, and substitute only
q S per cent increase in the flat tax
on corporations with an incoma above
$4,000. The outcome II largely due
to the fact and good judgment of the
president and is a very distinct
tripmph for men like Mr.. Mondell
who have stood steadily and persist
emily for . lifting rather than a
shifting of the tax burdens.

SENATOR WARREN AMI OYMING DEVELOPMENT
The editor of The Republican returned the first of the week
from a trip which covered a large portion of the state of Wyo-
ming. During this trip we noted engineers investigating the
Saratoga Encampment Reclamation project; we visited the gov
eminent fish hatchery in the Platte Valley; we saw the wonderful
fedora buildings in practically every city visited; we looked over
Fort Russell, one of the best military posts in the United States
we spend several days in the nations Observation-Disclosures
National Park; we examamined the wonderful Shoshoni project,
the Wind River project and several other smaller reclamation
projects.
All this brought forcibly to our mind the wonderful work
That mas been Accomplished and that is in course OF accomplish
ment in the State of Wyoming. This development work is. direct
Y due to the work of our Congressional delegation, headed by
Senator Francis E. Warren.
We remembered that three years ago Senator Warren ex-
pressed his desire to retire from public life and enjoy a well
earned vacation. The people of Wyoming demanded that he again
be a candidate for senator "s everyone of us felt that the United
States needed him as never before. @
advice and assistance were always sought and he proved con-
elusively that the people of Wyoming were right when they de-
manded that he remain on duty.
In the present period of restoration following the war,
Senator Warren is again proving himself the "man of the hour.
AS chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee he is
using his great power to bring the country back to a normal
basis and to reduce the burden Of taxation. 1t was Senator War
notice being sent to each department warning against the prac-
tie of expenditures exceeding appropriations. @
From a state standpoint Senator Warren is needed more
than ever before. For many years he has been the standby of
for the interest of the entire west, and especially for Wyoming,
as is evidenced by the reclamation projects in the state. He has
always been a man who accomplished things. "
People OF this state are lust beginning to realize the poten-
tal possibilities of Wyoming. We are just beginning to realize
our mineral and agricultural resources. Each reclamation
project established, means homes for thousands of people with
assessed valuations increased millions of dollars.
With Senator Warren as chairman of the Appropriations
Committee and with his twenty eight wears service in the Senate
Mornings future is assured. 1t would indeed be a catastrophe t
Wyoming to lose the service of this nationally great man.

disbursements which makes possible
a reduction of the tag income by
nearly six hundred million dollars,
and 1t was agreed that the Ways
and Means Committee would pro-
coed to draft its revenue bill SO as
to accomplish the lifting Of the tax
burden by that amount.
A week ago when the Treasury
issued its statement which afforded
no hope of the repeal OF present
taxes without substituting other
taxes to supply the deficiency in
revenue thus created, Mr.. Mondell
issued q statement reiterating the
yiew expressed in his letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury nearly two
months ago, that there should be q
lifting instead Of . shifting OF tax
burdens" and declaring that there
was no reason why there should not
be q repeal Of upwards OF five hum

substituting anything in their place.
Accompanying his statement Mr..
Mondell gave out a statement OF esti-
mated expenditures and revenues.

CORN CROP

About this time Of the year, here
in the West, everybody is vitality
concerned about the corn prospect,
but stock growers and feeders are
particularly interested, the cattle and
sheep grower because the corn belt
feed lots absorb the greater part of
his stock and the corn belt feeder be-
cause he puts fully IS per cent of the
corn he produces into live stock.
According to the July government
crop report the country is about to
produce another tremendous crop of
corr and prospects on the first day
Of July were the best they have been
in. nearly 80 years. A total acreage
Of 108,9O1,O 900 acres was put in cor
this year and this forecasts a yield
Of 1928, 900 900 bushels or nexr to
the largest crop this country ever
produced.
So much for the National view
point. Coming closer home, 1t 10 en-
couraging to note that three states,
Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois produce
nearly a third of all the corn grown
in. the United States and 1t is also
worthy OF note that these three
states are the heaviest buyers OF
feeder cattle and sheep OF the South
Omaha market every season. The
1921 corn crop is estimated at 81
123,0OO,O 900 bushels and these three
great agricultural and live stock
feeding states will grow nearly a
third of this vast amount OF corn,
their production being placed as fol-
lows:
Bushels.
Nebraska ---.213,29$, 900
Illinois -----347, 637 900
Iowa 2,O39, 900
Total -----------1 ,0O2 go 900
The above figures. are significant
when it is taken into account that
all other crops, including hay, in
these three great states are also far
above the average and that this is
equally true OF all the other corn
belt states that secure the bulk Of
their feeder stock on the South
Omaha market.
Taking all the circumstances into
consideration there is every indica-
ton of a healthy trade in stockers
and feeders, both cattle and sheep
this fall provided, first, that the
western range men have the cattle
and sheep to ship and second, that
live stock feeders are able to proper
ly finance their operations. 1t looks
now as II supplies of feeder cattle
and sheep on the market during the
coming four months would be very
nearly normal and 1t Is also crafty
ing to note. the steady improvement
in the financial situation.
1t surely seems as II nature was
doing everything possible to repair
the rayages Of war and it is up to
the country to take advantage of the
wonderful opportunities offered.
