No one will assert that the Republican congress ap-

penditures of the year ending June 80. 1921 There
may have been some unavoidable deficits this year
as in other years The fact is, nevertheless, that the
executive departments Of the Wilson administration,
which was in power for the first eight months Of che
present fiscal year, set a pace in expediture and con-
tracted obligations which resulted in huge and indie
fensible deficits which the Republicans must appro-

Germans Grab Paper and Steel Trade

The American paper trade met with
a tremendous IN Argentina
during the war because there were
no imports Of paper from Europe. But
neither the American manufacturers
nor their selling agencies took ad-
vantage NJ their opportunity. witch
was one that probably never viii re-

only ones in the market and the Ar
gentne importers had TO take what
was offered. but the American man

this very lack OF composition gave
them n nne opportunity to learn the
local ,llarket requirements and Gus

DOES NOT PROVE MS CASE.

The New York Herald has presented elaborate sta
tistical tables TO prove that while the Republicans in
control of both branches of congress, were advertis,
ing the fact that tremendous savings to the taxpay-
ers were being made, in reality nothing of the kind
has occurred, and the peoples money is being spent
with more recklessness than ever. "At the time the
appropriation bills were passed" says the Herald, re-
ferring to the bills for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1921, much credit was taken by congress for
cutting the estimate, but no actual saving resulted
If that be true it is a reflection not upon the Repub-
hcan congress, but upon the Democratic Wilson ad-
ministration, which determined the scope of govern
ment Expenditures for the year ending June 80, 1921.
The Herald's first article of the series has presented
with it liable No. 1" which purports to show that
the estimates of federal expenditures for the fiscal
year 1921 were; SIS, 1904, $50, 1885,; that of that sum
congress appropriated only S3,717,441, 4s4; but that
the actual expenditures for the year, as estimated by
Secretary Mellon, will amount to So, 602,o24,s61 The
charge is made that while the Republicans were gloat-
lars under the Democratic estimates, as a matter of
fact they failed to provide money for the actual gov
eminent needs, which win be spent anyway, and might
as well have been appropriated in the beginning.
What are the facts? In June of last year, after
FL the appropriation bills for 1921 had been enacted
into law, the committees of the senate and house is
sued a financial statement based on the figures ac-
tually submitted to them by the executive department
and the amounts actually allowed in the appropria-
ton bills. That statement shows that the executive
estimates totaled $6,177, 271,25 of which $4,s59,-
ssO.S27 was appropriated, demonstrating a saving of
$1,474,422,602.

"a revivl of populism is predicted" says the Wash

ago. The farming interests then we're greatly de-
pressed. Drought, grasshoppers and middemen were

and adopted by the sufferers was a new political

'"This was organized, and both of the old parties

TRANscREssINc THE PROPERTIES.

If Admiral Sims said what he is reported to have
said, he had no business to say it. He was not stat
ing a fact, he was venturing a conclusion of opinion
and his position as a high officer in the American navy
gave unusual consequence to it. An American adj
miral may hold whatever opinions he may choose and
he may privately epress them TO his friends but when
il comes to expressing them at a public dinner, where
his sentiments are sure to find their way into print,
it becomes another matter entirely.
In the public, he represents the government of the
United. States. He cannot be entirely disassociated
from it, regardless of the time, place and circumstance
His utterances are bound to be clothed with, more OF
less, official Importance.
The United States government has no criticism
no sympathy and no opinion with reference to the
Irish question or the manner in which either side
thereto is conducting its gfairs. Moreover the United
States government is not sending naval officers
abroad to voice criticism, at public functions in an
other, country, of citizens at home whose private sym
pathies may be opposed to their own. The United
States asks of all of its citizens an obedience to it:
laws and an Observance of proprities with respect tC
friendly nations. If it is true as asserted by Admi
raj Sims that a certain group of our people hai
shown sympathy for one side to a European controv
ersy does it better matters for him to go to Europe
proclaim his attachment to the other side and at thu
same time berate his fellow citizens?
The admiral is a splendid sailor and a courageous
fighter. He has execrable judgment in selecting aftel
dinner topics and a miserable taste in applying Smiles

FINALLY.

1t is with tremendous sigh of relief that the city OF
Casper witnesses the commencement of repairs in the
paved area occasioned by the installation of gas and
water lines. It is understood that instructions had
been issued to the Warren Construction company
some months since to perform this work, but this
concern, so far as may be observed in recent times
shows alacrity only upon the days when estimates are
available in cash at the treasurer's office
And while the Warren concern is on the job of re
pairing it would be well for the city to point out the
various defects in the several sections paved in the
past and which also need attention.

Forecast.

The low prospect for the current
crop would threaten a shortage
were there not foreign supplies,
produced at low cost awaiting i'm
port demand from this country and
the large surplus. To check this
movement American tobacco grow
ers have asked for an increased
tariff.
The emergency tariff raised the
rate on leaf from s1.s5 and $3.50
to s2.35 and $500 per pound. The
Fordney bill as reported to the
House makes these rates $2.10 and
s2-75. It is believed that this new
rate will aid American growers.
The very cheap labor in the foreign
tobacco-producinG sections will so
reduce costs. however. that our
market will still remain attractive
even with the increased tariff.
OF our domestic tobacco about "a
cent for cigarettes and so per cent
for chewing, smoking and snuff
forms. The amount of tobacco used
in cigars has held steady for several
years with no increase since 1918.
In fact the amount used in larger
cigars has decreased. Cigarette
manufactures has increased three
times since 1915 and doubled since
1916. OF the cheaper forms there
has been a decrease in plug, twist
and fine cut since 1918. The amount
of smoking tobacco is about the
same. while there has been an in
"rease in snuff.

This shows the greater balance Of
exports in terms OF value during the

the United States exported about 40

countries were the Dutch East In

Most of the exports of the United

There is abundant opportunity for
expansion of tobacco growing of the
cheaper grades in the United States
but the suitable section for the cul-
ture of the best cigar tobacco is
more limited. The revenue from to-

from about S90.00O,oG0 in 1909 to
sl07. 100000 in 1917 and $295 ,0O0. 900
in 1920. The industry is carrying a
heavy tax load and at present rates
of consumption the tax rate on
tobacco has almost reached the
point of diminishing returns.
