tain temperance is the opinion of u.
James S. Stone. who is retiring after
forty-eight years in the ministry. it

present method of prohibition must
fail.
TT won't work out at ALL" said the
veteran clergyman, now 70 years old.
Men who never willfully disr gard

prohibition law" he declared. "rhey
get off together and laugh about how
smart they have been in getting IL

unjust to those people who have used
wines and beer with moderation and
that it puts them on the same plane
with drunkards. / believe the return
OF light wines and beer would be a
good thing"

Tax notices are being received by
Park county property owners this
and lever before in the history
of this section has there been so
much CONSERVATION raised W. the
matter of the county, city and state
expenses. There are two or three
reasons especially why taxes for 1922
are much higher than heretofore.
Not only is the town property owner
hit severely on account of the high
assessment necessary to meet the
added expense of operating the NUM-
cipality, but the farmer gets hit hard
by increased expense of school opera
ton and then the fact hat many un-
patented farm holdings have not been
assessed makes the tax burden on the
patented lands as much higher as is
necessary to make up the loss. School
taxes, in the new consolidated district
plan, are very high In fact all the
general county and state taxes appear
small when compared with the local
school and municipal taxes. The farm
er is hit a hard jolt by these axes
this year, but 1t is just about twice
as much for the property owner IN
side the corporate limits OF Powell.
1t is little short of a tragedy that
these exhorbitant taxes should be
levied upon a people at a time when
they have no source of revenue from
which 10 meet them. 1t Is seriously
debated upon the streets OF Powell

WARD SPENCER CASES
HAVE Been POSTPONED

Word has been received from W. L..
Simpson, who is now in Cheyenne,
that the federal cases against Harry
Wizard and Rex Spencer, which were
set for trial on December IL, have
been postponed. Mr.. Simpson, who
has been retained by the city to de-
fend its officers, gives no intimation as
to when they will be tried.
These grew out of the shoot
ing of the town marshal by Galen 3
Hodge, when the former was arrest
ing the prohibition agent for drunk
enness. After Hodge WIS convicted
and fined, the marshal was charged
with conspiracy and interfering with
a federal officer in the performance
OF his duty.

the expense of taxation would fall on
proportionately, but many taxpayers,
If not all of them, observe that taxes
have increased from 20 to so per cent
in 1922.
That all sounds more like a joke
than a pathetic reality. 1t is small
wonder that a move is on foot about
Powell to bring the whole thing under
close study and try to relieve our
selves of the mounting burden. AT
last Saturday afternoons meeting OF
the Shoshone project waterusers a
resolution was offered and unanimous
ly passed that means more han a
scrap of paper and ought to be Needed
by every public official, who with
bowed heads should give it solemn
consideration. 1t is:
whereas, taxes are abnorm-
ally and unreasonably high, be 1t
resolved that the Shoshone Pro
ject Waterusers' association in
mass meeting assembled demands
of all public officials, high and
low, every possible economy con-

TAX NOTICES BOMB SHELLS ON POWELL FLAT
Editorial from Powell Tribune)

whether this thing can go on forever.
High taxes such as We now + con-
fronted with might be submitted to
with patience for one year, but when
the burden mounts higher annually
at times when the agricultural ele-
is running behind, it is indeed
a matter far serious contemplation.
How the people of not only Park
county but all of Wyoming manage
to meet the increasing expenses of
government every year is hard TO
understand. And with all this heavy
drain u county commissioners tell
us the county has little money for
roads, the schools must practice econ
omy on every hand, and municipal
ties such as Powell. Cody and Nee
teetse struggle along with great diff
fculty.
Not only is the exhorbitant tax bur-
den necessary for the most ordinary
needs, but II we are to reach out
more in our city improvements, our
county needs or the further equip
ment of our schools. the taxes will
become proportionately higher. 1t
has been maintained for years that
IL taxes should become higher the
people could not bear up under the
burden, but taxes are becoming
nlarmingly higher and the income OF
the xpa is smaller. 1t is only
fair to suppose that when property
values decrease by nifty per cent that

BLEACHED FLOUR.
HOusekeepers Demand Whiteness With
out Reference to Quality.

The desire for whiteness in flour prob
ably results from the idea that whiteness
implies purity and cleanliness. while the
slightest tinge of yellowneSs .arouses n
suspicion of inferiority in quality.
Where a choice exists, white -four, even
If inferior in quality. is preferred by
some housekeepers. Flour having a yell
low cast is not unstable, but it is usu-
ally rated as of second quality and brings
a lower price than white flour.
considerable proportion of the wheat
grown IN the United States produces q
flour with a distinctly yellowish tint !;
and the color cannot be removed by the
ordinary milling processes. So far as
its food value is concerned. if a differ
ence between yellow flour and the nat
ural white flour exists, it is likely to be
in favor of the yellow article
Inasmuch as the housekeeper demands
whltenesS, without reference to quality
the miller must either sell his off color
product at a lower price than white -four
or make it white by artificial means.
Often he does the latter by one of the
various bleaching methods For the
greater part this is done by aerating the
flour with air containing nitrogen oxides
and ozone. which are produced by high
voltage, electrical discharges. These sub
stances, produced wholly from the air,
are powerful bleaching agents. Moth
ing is added to the -four by their use
and, so far as is known, there is nothing
deleteriOus in bleached flour.
In the milling process most of the
vitamines are removed; so also are the
mineral elements. and these cannot be
artiticially replaced. Whether or not
the bleaching process destroys the re-
manning vitamines has not been deter
mined. In part. however, these are re
stored by the yeast.
The order of the health board requir-
ing bleached flour and bakery products
made therefrom to be distinctly and con-
spicuously labeled is justifable, no mat
ter in what aspect it may be cOnsid-
cred. If it will encourage the use of
-four quite as wholesome and nutritious
as the natural white flour. it will ac-
