traffic, and where a drunkard Is seldom, II ever
seen
The liquor situation in Canada has attracted
quite a lot Of attention. particularly IN the tnlteo
states. because Of the control Of the liquor traffic
in Canada rather than its abolition The present
way OF handling the sale Of liquor in Canada mas
brought thousands of visitors The number OF
automobiles which have como into tho recton
around Montreal has increased during the last year
by the thousands.
In Canada the liquor is sold by vendors. Their
establishments are the only ones which can law
fully handle liquors. The sale of liquor is not only
controlled by the government, but il is owned BY the
government. The Canadian government has actu-
ally gone into the liquor business, and the vendors
are The licensed agents of the government and en-
.ployed by it.
A tie liquor sold in Canada is produced under
the supervision OF the commissioners, and the
brands are all commissioner brands and have the
guarantee Of the government behind them. The
price has increased materially over prices existing
before the war. Liquor which could be obtained
then for 50 cents is selling now for more than 81.
The prices obtaining in the Quebec province are:
Scotch, S4-25 to $40 a quart: rye. about 50, and
wines, 50 a quart and upward. Champagne may be
bought for about 81 a quart.
"Only ono quart of liquor may be sold to one per
son at a time. OF course, you may 60 into the tav-
erns and buy as much beer or ale as YOU want, but
the taverns are rapidly passing out of existence
and viii probably not return. The bootleggers, l
am told, get around the apportionment of one quart
by hiring about ten men and having them go around
to different vendors. In that way they can gather
up a large quantity at a time. But you virtually
never see a drunken man in Quebec
No doubt, so desirable a system of control as
Canada has evolved, will be abused; but there are
those in the world who would find ways to break
law directly or indirectly in spite Of any merit II
possessed.
The only point on this side of the boundary to be
considered is whether the Canadian plan is better
or worse than our own. They have liquor, wine
and beer at command and remain sober and order
Iy. We have neither liquor, wine nor beer and are
drunk and disorderly very frequently. what dc

More EaufabIe Freight Rates

IT u SEEM that some concerted effort on
i the mart OF shippers of the Casper section would
result in more reasonable freight rates for this ter
ritory. The great volume Of business, in and out, is
important enough to the transportation companies
TO draw their attention to a mere matter OF fair
ness. If nothing more. Apparent discrimination
against the Rocky Mountain region has been long
and notorious and about all efforts TO secure re
auctions have failed.
What the layman will never be able to compre
bend is, what good reason exists for carrying
freight from eastern points to Pacific coast points
at less than from the same points to Casper, or
other Rocky Mountain city.
There is a great mystery In railroad rates and
the building of them and the reasons why, that the
plain everyday public is not privileged to learn;
and il has grown more mysterious and more com
plicated since the government assumed regulation.
Despite attempts of chambers of commerce, com
mercial bodies and groups of shippers, rates re-
main too high.
I6 is but fair to railroads TO say t~hatsthey have
an alabi in the wartime control by the federal gov
ernment the arbitrary advance of wages without a
corresponding advance in freight rates. And the
validity of the alibi is admitted. L may be also
agreed that the roads have had a share of labor
troubles; but an inpatient public bowling for low
er cost of necessary things of life and peeved ship
pers receiving high freight charges which they
must pass on to consumers, produces little salts
faction or happiness 70 the common herd struggling
for a living.
Everybody is waiting on everybody else to debate.
Paraphrasing n noted American statesman in the
reconstruction days of the Civil War, when the
question of resumption of specie payment by the
national treasury was pertinent, the statesman
said: ~The way to resume is to resume" So in this
Wy to deflate is to %deflate," and make it as effec-
tive as did the statesman of old.
In any event Casper in all fairness and equity
is entitled to lower freight rates.

Nhu Is It2

0NE THING could never be understood by the
" ordinary citizen; and that is why cities permit
the postponing of pavement construction, both
street. and sidewalk, until so late in the season that
il is impossible to secure a good job. It is not only
the situation in Casper but it is true of hundreds of
other cities that have built paved streets and laid
concrete sidewalks.
Casper shows many instances to prove the utter
foolishness of attempting to lay paving at the time
of year when frosts may be expected.
Any experienced concrete worker will tell you
of the difficulties of protecting freshly laid con-
crete from damage by frost.
Why cities persist in carrying ON these operations
at an unreasonable time of year will remain uncx-
planned until somebody wakes up and secs to it that
work while there is least danger of damage to it.

The Ensuing Prosperity

HaThere Is not one man in House OF
Senate. demagogue or statesman. who
would dare appeal to his constituents
on a platform declaring n a the blr
erican standard Of living is too high,
that It should be reduced TO a parity
with that of Europe. Nor is there a
single newspaper, even in New York.
that would argue seriously that tho
standards prevalent in Stun and
Egypt are desirable in the United
states" This is the opinion OF the
Manufacturers Record.
AZ iaigh standard of living and a
high cos of living are economic twins.
A well-furnished house, it is axio.
matte, costs more than a howell. World
prices in many industries would spell
ruin In the United States Particu-
larry IS this true In reference TO agri-
culture. The manufacturing indus
tries can cut costs By efficiency in sd
m~inistration and operation. by applied
inte~liectualism. but in agriculture the
meanest slave in China or India is the
real competitor of the American citi-
zen who tiils a farm
1T American standards are to be
preserved 1t is therefore self evident
that the great problem OF the day is
the maintenance of American prices
for farm products above the level Of
present world prices. The method of
accomplishing that is through tariffs.
At world prices, the sheep industry of
the United States two years ago wa
paralyzed. The mother sheep were
enroute to the slaughter houses; and
so were the mother cattle. The En-
e Tariff Act halted the disaster
, II lifted the price of wool above the
world price level. 1t made profit in
wool-growing possible.
That is the object Of the Fordney
bill. 1t introduces into traifs legisla'
tion a new principle, the principle
that protection of agriculture has be
come a paramount national interest.
It voices the conviction that artifi'
cialIy and arbitrarily as q. measure OF
national defense. the agricultural in.
dustry in the United States shall be
nut in the position where its atrac'
~tiyeness shall be on some sort Of
parity with that of manufacture II
enunclates the doctrine that the In
dustriaI progress OF the country shall
not be at the cost of farm paralysis
but that the nation must move for
ward IN all its parts at the same time
