DR.. c. w. JEFFREY
(FCr COrOner)

DR.. Jeffrey, whose first term as Coroner for Carbon County
is drawing to a successful close, and who is seeking re election at
the hands of the voters of the county, is a practicing physician
who has been a resident of the state for the past ten years, having
removed to Rawhns from Lander shortly after being mustered out
of the service of the United States in the World War.
After having practiced his profession for a time in Lander he
returned to Chicago for additional training in the great Cook
County Hospital, where he spent three years in study and investi
cation. This extra work in medicine and surgery proved very
valuable to the young physician for when the war broke out and
the great demand for physicians and surgeons developed he was
one of the first to enlist in the medical. corps and when he received
his discharge he was a first lieutenant in that branch of the
service.
Coroner has become generally recognized in recent years as many
savings are made possible. which could not be effected if 4 lavman
held the office. DR.. Ieffreys incumbency of this office has dem
onstrated this to a surprising degree as not only has the business
of the Coroners office been most efficiently handled but this has
been accomplished at a cost to the taxpayers far lass than ever be-
fore as there is no salary connected with the office. payment be-
ing made for services actually rendered, on a schedule of fees pro-
lvided by law.

The Republican candidate for County Surveyor is regarded
by everyone with whom he somes in contact, officially or other
wise, as being a most capable and obliging public official. He has
filled the position of County Surveyor for the past eight years with
entire satisfaction to the public as we'll as to the board of county
commissioners.
Since completing his training and receiving his engineering
degree from the Ohio State University, Mr.. Wisda has had a wide
and varied practical training in the actual construction of roads,
railways, irrigation systems and general engineering problems,
all of which and to his value as a public official at a time when
vast public improvements are about to be undertaken.
Mr.. Wisda is ambitious, he has made a success in his chosen
profession, and he is also ambitious for his city and county. He
wants to see the city of Rawlins enjoying an ample supply of pure
potable domestic water, and for several years he has devoted every
effort to bring about that end, with the result that the voters of
Rawlins will vote on a bond issue November 7, which will I'M
Idoubtedly bring to fruition the efforts of several years of vigor-
Gus preliminary work on Mr.. Wisda's part, as he was one of the
earliest advocates of the Sage Greek project, which has been
adopted by the board of city trustees.
The candidate for county surveyor is also one of the most
earnest advocates of good roads in the state and one of his oft
expressed hopes is to see Carbon county take a leading part IN a
system of permanent road building.

Andy Nelson, of Walcott, one of the most prominent and sue
cessful stockmen and ranches in the state, and candidate for re-
election to the Board of County Commissioners, needs no intro
duction to the voters and taxpayers of Carbon County. His serv-
ices to- his county and state have in the past established a record
of which his friends are duly proud and his continuance in the
service of the county should be insured by a heavy vote on election
as an appreciation from the taxpayers whom he has served at
times at a sacrifice Of his time and personal business interests.
As a sheep owner and ranchman he knows every road and
trail in the county and he also knows the needs of every section. as
well as any other man in the county. He is keenly interested in
good roads and in any and every forward and progressive move
ment which may be permitted by the financial condition of the
county.
During two terms in the state legislature Andy Nelson dem
.onstrated his fitness for public office as he made a record of which
all who know him speak in the highest terms, for he is a shrewd
business man and one who has no personal axe to grind. The
business affairs of this county, which is a giant corporation with
an assessed valuation of $26. 600, 600, as its capital stock, are safe
in the competnt hands of such men as Andy Nelson, who are will
ing to devote their time, effort and ability for the common good
and without hope of monetary reward.

The position of County Assessor is one that calls for a man with
a thorough business training and in this respect the Republican
nominee viii F. Daley, is amply qualified, not only by the expert
ence gained in one successful term as assessor, but by having been
for some years prior to his election associated with his father, R.
A. Daley, in the ownership and management of a large lumber
firm.
Mr.. Daley is a true son of Carbon County for he was born
and educated here, and is a graduate of the Rawlins High school,
Class of 1902. Following his graduation, BILLY Dick" as he is
generally known, engaged in business for some time before being
chosen for public office.
AS County Assessor he has received the heartiest commenda
tons from the State Board of Equalization for his fair and bust
ness-ike conduct of the affairs of his office. He has treated all
alike and has never used the office to reward his friends or to
punish his enemies. He gives the business of his office his own
personal attention and Notwithstanding the great increase in the
assessed valuation of the county, with the natural increase in of
flee routine, he has not added to the expense of conducting the
work of the assessors department of the county's vast business.
By making personal trips into every section of the county Mr..
Daley has served a double purpose. He has become thoroughly
familiar with every piece of property, its location and value, and
he has saved the county the expense of several deputies.

The candidate of the Republican party for the important of
flee of Sheriff of Carbon County is making his first appearance
in the political arena, for although Mr.. Campbell has been a resi-
dent o fte county for more than a score of years he has nevre be-
fore been q candidate for any public office: He is, however, ad-
|insistently urged by a host of friends to become a candidate. Hav-
ing given his consent reluctantly, he at once began his campaign
with characteristic vigor and is making a tour of the entire
county.
Mr.. Campbell is a railroad man and has been in the employ
of the Union Pacific railroad since coming to Rawlins 20 years
ago. His rise has been steady and he is now and has been for the
past IL years general yardmaster in which position he has dem-|
|onstrated his fitness for an office Of the importance of that of
as one of their most trustworthy employees, but he is extremely
popular with the men with whom he comes in contact in the daily
round of labor. His fairness and uniform courtesy have made
him many loyal and enthusiastic friends among the railroad fra
.ternity, and they are all his loyal supporters in his candidacy for
Sheriff
Mr.. Campbell has promised the people that if elected he will
enforce all of the laws without fear or favor and that the office
of Sheriff will not only, be given his entire time and exclusive at
tention but will be administered at the very lowest cost consistent
with efficient service to the public.

Miss Irving, who is an unopposed candidate for the office
of County Superintendent of Schools on a non partisan ticket, is
cninently fitted by training and education for re election to the
position which she now holds with great credit. She is a real
daughter of Carbon County for she was born, raised and edu-
Gated here.
After being graduated from the Rawlins High School Miss
Irving attended the Wyoming State University and, after secur-
ing a teachers certificate, she returned to this county and taught
in WalcOtt, Encarnpment, Saratoga and Carbon, finally accepting
"a position in the Rawlins schools, whore for several years she was
considered one of the most efficient teachers in the city.
Miss Irving is qualified in every way for the position of
County Superintendent of Schools. She has an excellent education
which, together with several years of teaching in the executive
and administrative departments of her work make her an ideal
County Superintendent.
During the years since her graduation from the Rawlins High
School Miss Irving has been studying continuously and further
perfecting herself for added usefulness in her teachers career.
She has been a regular attendant at the University Summer
School and a correspondence student of the University.

LIBRARY SERVICE.

The public library of one of the large
cities reports that it has for 80 years
maintained a unique record-it is a tax
supported institution which has always
lived within its income. While keeping
successfully to its budget it has given
service twelve and a half hours a day,
with eight and half hours on Sundays.
It is open every day in the year except
the Fourth of July
The casual visitor sometimes thinks
the public library is useful mainly as a
source of supply for fiction readers. The
library in question announces that the
adult fiction issued last year amounted
to only thirty-ene per cent of the total
circulation, and the Juvenile fiction,
eighteen per cent. The non-fction books
issued covered such subjects as philos-

TRILLTONs OF RULES.

The more money the Soviet govern
m"nt prints. the less it has; and the
more taxes If lev;es. the less it gets.
These two uaradoxical facts are shown
with surprising cIearness in a recent
statement made in the New York World
by John Maynard Keynes. the British
fna17ial expert. based on data obtained
3E him from the Russian representatives
at Genoa.
after all that has been printed about
financial imitation in Russia, few people
have any notion of its vast extent. The
single ruble, normally worth half a dol
lar, has long since been ignored. Paper
money is in units of thousands or mil
lions of rubles. The notes outstanding
on the first of last April aggregated IL
000,000,000, rubles-that is, II tril-
lions, or 71,0OO billions-most of which
has been issued since the beginning of
the present year
And what is this cosmic sum worth
in real money? According to Mr..
Keynes, about 100000 pounds sterling,
or less than $25,0OO,O0O.
Inc enormous ISSUES OF paper money
have shaken confidence to such an extent
that depreciation has proceeded three
times as fast as initiation.
Consequently, outside of the towns,
barter still persists, much of the revenue
is collected in kind, and we have the
paradox of the greatest volume of note
issue ever known leading up to an in
sufhciency of money.
There is something for the advocates
of unsecured paper money in this coun-
try, ito relieve the shortage of cur
rency," to put in their pipes and smoke
Equally instructive is the effect on the
public revenue. 1t was thought in
Russia, as elsewhere, that in the process
of initiation the government would be
able to collect a larger amount of taxes
For actual value" the Soviet uses
the purchasing power of a ruble in
1913, and calls it a gold ruble" OF
these the Soviet, according to its own
figures, was able to raise in 1918, 529,-
100000 rubIes; in 1919. 3SO,OOOOOO
rubles, in 1920, 1S6OOO,0OO rubles, in
1921, 143,00OO0O rubles, and in the first
three months of this year, with currency

100000 rubles
Surely here is complete, convincing
proof, to stand forever, of the futility of
any country trying to make money by
