OUes Cdreu Nothing

GOVERNOR CAREY, in his speech delivered
" from the stage of the Garden theater, recently,
said: Il have done my best" and so far as we know.
none will dispute that. His statement that no
charge of graft had been laid at the door of his
administration, and that all of his boards and
bureaus" and commissions" were functioning may
also go unchallenged.
His newspapers advance the argument that be-
cause he has "done his best he is entitled to-that
the people "owe' him-another term.
We maintain that the people "owe, nothing to
Governor Carey nor any other office seeker. When
he took the office he solemnly swore to "do his bestp
less-so no debt exists on that score.
1t may be stated that people in all sections of
Wyoming agree that Governor Carey has "done his
best" but they are not going to vote him another
term.
Different people have different reasons but in
most quarters the nomination and subsequent cleo
ton OF John w. Hay is looked upon as being GER
tain, as inevitable as sunrise or sunset.
Perhaps 1t is not SO much on account of what
Governor Carey has or has not done as what they
pelIeve John w. Hay, as governor, can and will do.
The TACT that many people like Governor Carey
personally does not make them forget that taxes
are quite beyond the ordinary mans ability to nav.
Governor Carey has publicly stated that, so far as
the state government is concerned, taxes cannot he

various county and city governments. John w
Hay says that drastic reduction in state taxes can
be accomplished by abolition of useless bureaus and
cominiss1ons-that half million dollars of the peo

The records show that John W. Hay has all his
life been doing things that other men said could NOT
be done. He stands for a return to plain business
efficiency in the conduct of the people,s affairs Ue
proposes to install system that will do away with
all friction and lost motion.

American viewpoint is presented by the Times

OF the great s~urpluses in the United States treasury

American people themselves including the farmers
OF the west who have recently been the victims of

Into the Enemy's Corner

CONSERVATION has been thrown into
the ranks Of the importers combina-
ton which hos been viciously fighting
the pending Republican tariff bill bv
The announcement recently made pub
lie thai members of congress would
take exhibits of foreign-mada goods
to the people in their home districts
during the recess. and let their con
stituents see what American indus
tries are up against. This is said to
be the first time hat the importers
have had the fight carried into their
corner. and they are dismayed at the
outlook.
About five months 6 Chairman
Fordney, of the ways and means com
mittee of congress. thought It would
be a good idea, since the importers
combination was lambasting the pro-
~tective tariff so mercilessly. to make
a quiet investigation of the enemy's
own camp and ascertain whether they
were really in arnes in their predic.
tons of high prices to follow the Re.
publican tariff bill. or II they were
merely throwing n sm~oke-screen
around their own operations. The re
suits OF the investigation were startl-
ing even to Chairman Fordney. He
showed hat on a large number of i'm

This quickly put the importers COM

they carried in a large number OF
