and know his work are always anx-
ious to hear what he has TO say re-

GOMPERS PROPOSES
GOVERNMENT WORK
ON TREATY SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-Propos-
ais for steps to relieve unemploy-
ment among navy yard workers
caused by the recent order suspend
ing work on ships and guns which
would be scrapped under the naval
limitation treaty were submitted TO
Secretary DENLY today by President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor and a committee of navy
yard workers. and have been referred
to the technical experts of the navy
department for consideration. II was
said tonight in connection with the
workers plan, that several of the sug-
gestions made were manifestly i'm
possible to carry out.
One of these was the proposal that
the government complete as one of
battle ships to be retained under the
treaty, the vessels now under con-
struction in the government yard at
Brooklyn, ". Y, at Mare Island, Cal,
or at Norfolk. Va AS all of these bat
tleships building in government yards
are of the $4,000 ton class however,
it was said, this could not be done
under the treaty, which limits size
of battleships to $4,000 tons. In ad-
dition, it was pointed out the treaty
specifically provides that two ships
of the West Virginia class are to be
retained and the only three of this
class under construction are the Co.
dorado, Washington and West Vtr-
ginia, all in private yards.
1t was indicated also that navy Of
ficials generally regard the workers
proposal that scrapping of all ships
be allocated to the navy yards or TO
navy crews was not possible OF exc
cution since great majority OF the
work OF scrapping is done by un-
skilled labor and practically all of the
yard employees are skilled workmen.

Whack the Ouerhead

WESTERN STATES are spending too much
w money on their political oTerhead-from fifty
10 eighty dollars per capita. All who are getting
the money are interested in getting more money,
having more duties, more fees, more offices and
more power.
Money is the concrete power with which politics
puts over new schemes to wiring money out of
the people and raise more taxes.
The dodge of shifting the taxes on some other
group should not deceive anyone because il finally
must come out of the producer and the consumer.
The only way 10 reduce taxes is TO spend less. cut
the overhead cost of government and cut out every
new tax raising law and scheme proposed.
The people simply cannot go OH paving more and
more for government.
The peak has been reached long ago and We must
not hesitate to slide down the opposite side. These
Iii brief are the ideas of Hon. John W. HAY. Re
publican candidate for governor of Wyoming. They
are ideas which he has enforced one way and an.
other III the direction of his own business and all
business that has come under his care. He has no
false modesty about doing things demanded by pub.
lie necessity, and takes no stock whatever in keen.
ing up appearances. He views all matters affect.
ing the public purse with an eye solely for the
public good.
If the people of Wyoming are fully awake to
their own interest, they will take advantage Of the
opportunity TO secure the services of John Hay TO
lead them out Of the wilderness of taxation for
overhead to the safe ground of real economy. real
retrenchmcnt and the common sense view of public
business.
