NUMBER ONE

This amendment to the constitution of the State of Wyoming
deserves careful consideration at the hands of the voters of the
state and should easily, if so considered, receive the approval of a
majority sufficient to make it a part of our basic law.
1t has to do with the absolutely necessary adjustment of sal
aries of three of the most important officials in any county, the
surveyor, assessor and superintendent of schools, to make them
conform to changed conditions in our manner of living which have
taken place since the constitution was adopted. Based on the cost
of living which obtained at the time, and upon the fact that the
population of every county was far less than now, the salaries
fixed at that early day were probably sufficient for the needs of
county officials and their families.
~, But times have changed, no one needs to be reminded Of that.
some time before a reasonable normal level will be reached, while
there is absolutely no need to hope for a return of the 81 caled

it is at present men and women best fitted for county offices are
reluctant to enter the race, knowing that it will be only at a fin
ancial sarcifice that they can hold a county office.

OUGHT TO WORK BOTH WAYS

The old saw about it being a poor rule that doesn't work both
ways is being brought to mind by the local Democrats, who are
doubtless but following the action Of their fellow partisans all over
ture of Judge v. j. Tidball in the Carbon County headquarters and
to the vigorous campaign in his behalf by leading Democrats here
and elsewhere.
From all directions the cry has gone up: Lets keep the su-
prene Court non partisan" The Democrats have been and are
particularly vociferous on this point. Yet we find every Democrat
in this section campaigning for Judge Tidball as against Judge
Fred H. Blume, both candidates for the full term on the Supreme
Court banch.
1t is known that Judge Tidball is a Democrat and it is the
general understanding that Judge Blume is a Republican, but so
far the Democrats are the only ones to draw party lines for this
office. There is this difference: Judge Blume, is the incumbent,
who gave up a lucrative law practice to accept the appointment,
while Judge Tidball has yet to serve out his term as presiding
Judge of the Second Judicial district.

Now, sandy hair on the head usually goes

Instead of rcsentins the charge that

AN UNRIPE MILLENNIUM

A n ARMY without soldiers, q navy with
"A out fuel is Il congressional conception

ference than the fondest hopes of its pro-
mOters
The current spasm of retrenchment on
Capitol Hill contrasts piquantly with the
scruples entertained in some circles there
concerning the Four.Powe Pacific Treaty.
That agreement is the gateway to reduced
military and naval establishments. But 1t
Is asking too much to demand congressional
consistency.
In combating the program for fuelless
navy and an army insufficient for even ordi-
nary police duties Mr.. Harding has appar-
emily refrained from dwelling upon the
connection between these subjects and the
program prepared by the international
parley.
Doubtless conscious of the strain upon
the congressional mind by such argument,
the President views the situation in q spirit
of immediate practicality With the Ma
tional Guard still far below the extent of
organization contemplated in the National
Defense Act chccsepared regular army
Is obviously inadequate.
The Presidents warning to the House
subcommittee on the army and to members
Of the General Appropriations Committee is
timely and forcble. Emotional penuriOus-
ness Is even more reprehcnsible than un-
thinking extravaganza. Certainly there ia
no hint of dreaded miltarism in United
States Army with n personnel Of 100, 900
or of n navy of 100000 men. Establish.
ments of this size constitute 10 affront to
popular interpretations Of the new trend of
civilization.
1t is emphatically desirable that the Tx.
ecutive's injection Of common sense into the
subject should speedily bcnr fruit. 1t will
be time to discuss n millennium without
national defense when all the treaties passed
by the Arms Conference have won senatorial
approval. And even the consummatlon OF
that ideal will not justify an army cut to
the bone or navy without motive power.

LLOYD GEORGES MASTERY

YNHE latest threat against the political
= prestige of Lloyd George appears to have
0een turned into new demonstration of
me- power. The Cnionist colleagues in the
xF1me Minister'S Cabinet have apparently
crown panicky at the mere hint of rcsigna
uon Of the only political leader of a major
nation who has survived the dlsillusionng
aftermnth of the World War.
This does not mean that opposition forces
IN Great Britain have been suppressed. Sir
George Younger is still regarded as the head
OF the Unionist Party. represented by sew
eral OF the most distinguished members Of
the Coalition Cabinet.
But political discomfort. of which there
= no shortage in England. is not precisely
tne same thing as political leadership. Mr.
Lloyd George is endowed with maneuvering
aDtuties unprecedented even in the com.
Olexities of British politics.
There are indications that he is playing
me game with his usual skill. For lurking
behind even the hypothesis of his withdrawal
% the thought that such n move might
merely mean swift reascendancy.
1t Is undeniable that the situation in
which the Prime Minister Is placed Is diff
cult. But Mr.. Lloyd Georges command of
ALLEGED impossibilities is his most distin-
gushing attribute as n statesman. One of
his strongest cards at the present moment
= unquestionably the fear in England that
his retirement might prepare the way for
sadical labor ministry.
