COMMUNITY

A gentleman, prominent in Casper business circles
made a statement the other day that will come with
equal surprise to you. 1t will cause you to ask
where does duty and loyalty to the home town be-
gin and where does it end?"
The statement was that many Casper people who
produced incomes here banked their wealth in Den
yer or elsewhere. Thus depriving the community that
produced the wealth of its just representation IN the
statements of its local financial institutions.
It Is just another phase of that fine old philosophy
Of Keeping the money at home" Which by the way
is impossible of over application.
The Importance Of a strict observance Of such prac-
tice does not occur to the needless and those of mar
row view of community due. The benefits may not
be 30 apparent as to those of broader vision. Out Of
busines. experience has come this undeniable fact
Where a policy of consideration, helpfuises, and 10y
atty in all things obtains, that community prospers and
advances and in times of stress weathers the storm and
remains unscathed. 1t Is the strength and resistance
that union gives.
No fixed recipe or course of conduct can well be
offered. 1t is rather Cor the thoughtf-'ress and in
genuity of the members of the community. to study
for themselves. The opportunities and possibilities
are almost endless. There is no day passes but &C.
casion arises whereby a citizen can, if he is SO mind
ed, work benefit to the old home town, directly, and
thereby to himself indirectly. The means employed
may be the Use of wealth, the exercise of influence or
the power Of good example. 1t matters not. They
are all elements of strength, and employed for the
local good have their weight, beyond any thought or
expectation we may have in mind.
And since all things have value and the moro value
we can conserve to the uses of the community, com.
mon sense suggests the wisdom, like a voice crying
in the wilderness-"Keep the money at home"

The Basis Of Calculating Duties.
BY n. RARR

Five years ago the American Indus
trial commission, sent TO Francs by
the American Manufacturers Export
association at the behest OF the French
government. discovered the feeling
that the United States tariff admins
traficn was sometimes unjust to
French traders when cur treasury Of.
fieials refused to accept invoice val
ues a. correct and assseted .As right
To inspect private hooks and TO inves-
tisate manufacturing costs. vlgor-
Qua protests were fled by certain
French manufacturers. who smarted
under the ignominious charge OF falnI-
Tying their invoices.
This defect in the law Is fundament-
al. and serves as a serious menace TO
pubic morals. 1t must be rsctffIed
or cur reputation for honesty OF pur-
pose. u sense OF common decency
and strict Justice will surely suffer In
the new light present discussion sheds.
The present law constantly tempts the
inscriptions foreign trader to pro
mote his selfish aim at the public sac
rhice in ways that react on all. The
foul injustice thu resulting should
compel the abandonment OF anything
thnt makes 1t possible. Goodwill. the
cornerstone OF permanent trade, is
threatened.
Perhaps the most effective appeal
TO public opinion lies in the declara-
ton that American valuation will IN
crease tariff. II Is significant that
opponents carefully avoid any refer
ence TO refuting statements made In
the SENATE and house committees which
nave ecured an appropriation OF $780,

In belieslettres and rslegats IL to the Literature Of

isdc. But there is no doubt that the process Of social
evolution just referred to has injected a romantic
strain into the cook book. Even in the cook books Of
the Boston school, with their presumably dominant
Puritan outlook, we find index references to macaroni

htcional literature. The cook book has been shifting
from Puritan realism to exotic romance at the very
time that New England romanticism, in the field of
the novel, has been moving towards the realism of the
continent. This fact may be of no particular value,
but critical essays have been written on less important

FUNDING FOREIGN DEBTS.

With the completion of legislation now before con-
gress creating the foreign debt refunding commission,
the highly important matter of arranging war debts
owed the United States by European countries will
be under way. The whole matter will, of course, come
under the direction of the secretary of the treasury
and the details are yet to be worked out
The suggestion has been made that each debtor ma
ton be asked to make an equal annual payment for
fifty years, SO arranged as to amount that at the end
of that period both principal and interest will have
been paid in full.
Since the average interest on Liberty bonds amounts
to Az per cent and since the Liberty bonds were is
sued and sold to our people for the express purpose
OF these foreign loans it is but just and fair that they
pay interest at the same rate on their loans.
Most of the foreign debts are two years in arrears
to approximately a billion and a quarter dollars. Ger
tain of the countries desire even a further extension
of time. All of these details may be comfortably ar
ranged to conform to the local existing circumstances
annual payments SO as not to equal accrued interest
until the second year.
Announcement was recently made by Great Bri-
tain that she had arranged for an annual interest pay
went of fifty million pounds on her indebtedness. I'm
der the plan suggested the annual payment necessary
to iquidate both principal and interest Of the British
debt in fifty years is only $17S, 600, 900 which at the
normal rate of exchange is about So, 800, 900 pounds.
Evidently the arrangement applied to the British debt
would be far more advantageous to Great Britain
than the plan of payment she has herself suggested.
If it is assumed that all nations agreed to the plan
and faithfully met their obligations each year there
would be an annual income to the treasury from that
source of about 1920, 900, 900. That is not as much
as even the annual interest accruing at the rate of
over $500, 100000 a year, but it would seem that the
United States could well afford to forego present high
returns for the added advantage of having a specific
scheme of payment subscribed to by all.
The debt of each country could readily be repre-
scented by serial bonds of such denominations as to
be salable in the bond markets of the world. There
need be no disturbance of values by such sales as the
bonds could be held in the treasury and offered to the
public only at such times as are deemed propitious.
There are no apparent disadvantages that the plan
holds for either debtor or creditor, but the benefits
each would derive are apparent at once.
The following statement shows foreign debts at the
end of the fiscal year June 80, 1921, with annual pay
ments necessary to retire all of them, including both
principal and interest at Az per cent in fifty years

"Eighty-ive words of obituary on an inside page, -
niournfully announces the New York Post, "such is the

FEAR OF THE LAW

What is needed more in South Caro-
lima and the nation as we'll is not so
much respect" as fear for the law.
The word respect" as applied to law
enforcement, is generally understood
to convey an idea Of cooperation and
voluntary acquicScence whereas the
efficiency Of the law is found in its
enforcement upon those who refuse
to abide by it.
The law is nothing more than writ
ten obligation of a majority Of the
people 20 protect itself against those
of minority opinion Oh any given
point. The law may be just or unjust,
according as the majority may view it,
but it IS a valid contract of a group
to carry out certain things. Any vio-
latiOn Of it by any OF the majority is
a breach Of contract. A violation by
the minority against whom it was
originally framed is a flaunt in the
face of the majority and Il challenge
to the majOrity'S rule. We expect ,a-
$pcct Of the lav from the Trainers and
fear from those at whom ii is directed.
Judging by the numerous crimes that
are being committed and the many in
stances who're the law has been disrc-
Gardcd by mob8 Of citizens, a whole
some fear Of the law is absent in the
land and q minority Of the people are
running roughShod over the rest.
