WHY ;?
tend.

All sorts of discussions have arisen over the pleasant news that this week saw the busiest day of the year s.H the offices where there are issued li- the girl of mans choice.
 It has been said that the prospect of more general employment encour- aged the timid men to take the great plunge It has been said that ru- women's wearing apparel have touch- ed the hearts and have given males It has been'said that the re- action from the independent attitude of girls has made many of them more kind and gentle and more inclined to treat with consideration young men of thing.
 And of course it has been said that IHp prospect ol t1lIllitS, |hllN Slol olo sunshine and all the rest of it has made young mems fancy turn as lightly as of yore to the orthodox thoughts of love.
 Various and sundry and then some have been the reasons given in ex- panation of the fact.
 None of them reaches the bottom of the matter. The wise men and women are all wrong. There is but one explanation of the encouraging situation. Optimism has prevailed; truth is trusted; confidence is con tinued; iife's prospect b pleasing and bravery is born in bachelors-and all because the conference at Washing ton has decreed that there shall be in life, between nation and nation, man and man, woman and woman, and man and woman, Perpetual Peace.

FRANCE yS. ENGLAND.

Not only has France accepted the invitation to the Genoa conference without waiting to see what the United States would do, but it seems she has taken it for granted all along she would attend which IS quite in accord with previous pre- dictions.
 Frances assumption, however, that the reparations matter and the Treaty of Versailles will not be cited, and will not play a part in the discussions which will arise, seems to be taking q little too much for granted It IS probable that she feels she must make this assumption before she could consistently accept the invita- tion She may be we'll aware, or Premier Poincare may be well aware, that these matters will not be for gotten entirely when the nations get together at Genoa, but it would be quite inconsistent in her, is the feel- ing, to agree to meet with representa- tives of all the other nations appar- ently knowing that these questions would be brought up.
 study of the little France-Eng- land tilt in which Ambassador Jusser-
 
 Lee spoke for England yesterday, suggests that England was not quite fair to France in the mention of the article by Captain Castex. a lecturer in a school for French Naval officers Lord Lee is quoted as saying that after reading the article, he had no doubt but that CasteX was whole hearted supporter of the necessity Of the German system of unlimited SUD- marine warfare,' which8w was pretty severe thing to say considering the French submarine attitude and the position occupied by Captain Castex. If. however it is true as reported, that Lord Lee forgot" to say that Captain Castex closed his argument on sub- marines with the words "The Germans argue this way" and such "forgetful- ness" was intentional, the implication arises that Lord Lee was not con- cerned lest he offend the French Am bassador which, of course, would amount to offending France. lt IS ln- conceivable that Frenchman Tn Captain Castex's position would put forth personal views as wise and at tempt to show their wisdom and righteousness to French officers or prospective officers or the French people by closing his argument with the declaration that it followed Ger man lines of thought.
 All of which is significant in view of the fact that so much depends up- on the English French attitude when the Genoa conference discusses the peace and rehabilitation of Europe and while the United States remains uncertain as to whether or not to at tan1

THE GRAND LIST

The reduction of the Grand List of
 over a million and half dollars over
 that of last year discloses the condi-
 tions which it was expected a prophe- sled deduction would indicate It re- fleets the precaution of business and manufacturing as seen for the lower valuations of stocks on hand found by Inventories. The prevalent business and industrial uncertainty could have brought no other result. Probably the
 reduction would have been larger if
 merchants and manufacturers had
 been able to unload as much as they
 desired The past year has been a
 time when all men in business and industry wished to get rid of what was
 on hand and start afresh when and
 if business and industry picked up.
 The unemployment situation is a di- rect result of this feeling and the re- suit of the unemployment may be seen in the lower inventories going to make up the Grand List.
 The reduction in the number of automobiles is the result of the same sentiment, of course. The consumer demanded fewer, the manufacturer produced fewer There was compara- lively far more dealing in second hand cars which added nothing to the gen. eral wealth.
 A greater care in the details of financial management may be seen in the loss in ten per cent penalties inn
 posed on those delinquent in filing
 lists of their possessions. It has been a time when the individual and the
 business and professional man have paid stricter attention to the saving of dollars, and the pressure of business, demanding all their time, has not in- teriered with prompt attention to re- porting of holdings
 The deductions because of the ef- | fleets Of the war on individuals have been considerable owing to more or ganized attention to these matters and a more thorough understanding of what amounts may be deducted More over more people have learned of their right to such deductions.
 Naturally the tax rate would be higher for the next fiscal year, with the deduction in the Grand List having been made, unless the budget is small CT than last year. Again will come the veXing problem of how far it will be possible to cut appropriations and still keep the city running smoothly and to the best interests of all it's Inhabitants. Although the property |held here may be less valuable than
 last year. or although there may be
 ess of valuable property here-which amounts to the same thing-the cost of running the city will not be less in most particulars. Labor cannot go much Tower; prices Will fall but grad ualy, if fall they do, and certain fixed expenses will remain the same In all probability an attempt will be made to lower the tax rate, but it would seem that q reduction in the budget to correspond with the reduc- ina fb9,C ~ I let ,e, II would be safe. And meanwhile there is the real expectation that work will be plenty with resultant better times for all.

viii They Be The Ledpenp

MARTIN CAHILL, president, and JAMES MORGAN,
- secre.arytreasurer of District %, United Mine
Workers of America, which is the Wyoming district,
are in Cleveland, Ohio, to attend a session of the
national body made up of district oficersr looking
TO the adjustment of the coal strike which has ex,
listed since April 1.
From the viewpoint of those best informed, it is
believed that the strike will be over and the men
back to work at no distant day, with an adjust
ment that will be satisfactory to both miners and
operators.
If the session was composed altogether of men of
the stamp Of Messrs. CAHnL and MORGAN, we are
sure a conclusion would have been reached long ago
These men are not only personally popular with
the members of their own organization, but they
are highly respected by operators and by the public.
They are fair minded and reasonable in their atti.
tude upon all questions affecting their organization,
plain and direct in their dealings, fully informed
upon the respective rights of their men and the
rights of the operators, and in no sense given to
controversy or technicality. They are quiet, modest
and dignifed men in their official capacity and the
same may be said of them in their capacity as pri-
Yate citizens.
Members and officers like CAHnL and MORGAN
give to the United Mine Workers of America the
prestige it holds in Wyoming.

The CUey Way

WHEN the state of Wyoming decreed and nut in
W force the policy of assessing real property at its
full value, and brought the several counties of the
state into agreement with the policy and succeeded
in establishing some sort Of uniformity in values.
the good citizen readily acquiesced. Higher valua-
ton and low rate had many advantages over low
valuation and high rate. The thing was done.
There were exceptions TO the rule. There were
tax dodgers-or those who attempted to dodre-or
argued or fought the assessments made against
their property-just like there always will be. But
after the millions dragged out of Natrona county
by the CARErs from the sale of lands and city lots.
the enhanced value of which was due to no enter.
prise on the part of any of the CARErs, it was sur
prising to the county authorities to find the CARErs,
father and son and the whole family whining about
the value placed upon their holdings by the assessor.
The situation as it developed at the time was like
this. When the city of Casper began to expand and
demand arose for building lots to the east and south
and especially to the south, the CARErs demanded in
any addition placed upon the market the sum of one
thousand dollars for an ordinary building lot. Di-
rectly across the street was open CAREY ranch land
of the same kind, quality and general lay, which was
returned for taxation at from $50 to.s125 per acre
and held and some of it since sold for 81 900 an
acre.
The CARHrs rid to get away with the valuation
which they placed upon their land but a business
board of commissioners charged with the duty of
caring for the peoples interests. at the end of bitter
controversy, brought the CAREYs into camp and com
PEELED them to pay taxes upon the full value of their
holdings.
The CAEEIs have never since ceased TO bawl about
1t. And so far as Natrona county is concerned they
can continue to bawl and also continue to pay taxes
upon exactly the same basis as other people.
Now it is a very fine thing for BOB CAREY, as tho
governor, to step to the front and say Just how other
peoples tax money shall be spent and what shall
be contributed in tax money to uphold his spend
thrift and irresponsible administration. But 1t is
altogether possible that the people arc tired of it,
and tired of the CARETs and will show a very proper
resentment at the primary election on August %.

Facts Beat Theories

EMERGENCY TARIFF on long staple cot.
l ton demonstrates the soundness of the protective
principle and illustrates the benefits derived by
American industry.
On cotton of 1s inches and over In length tho
emergency tariff imposes a duty of z cents a pound.
This applies to Pima cotton, or American Egyptian.
as 1t is sometimes called, because it Is a deriva.
tive of Egyptian long staple cotton which has been
successfully introduced into the southwestern
states where it has become quite an industry with
bright prospects in store for it if the unrestricted
competition of the Egyptian cotton is prevented.
The pending tariff bill continues the protective rates
provided for in the emergency act.
The tariff commission has recently published
some interesting data concerning the growth Of this
long staple cotton in Egypt where the industry dates
back to 1920. 1t is the socalled Sakellarides long
staple grown in lower Egypt which has been made
dutiable by the Republicans because of its COMPETE
ton with the Pima cotton grown in the southwest,
particularly in Arizona. Senator AsHuEsr, Demo
crat of that state and a free trader on most other
commodities, wanted a duty as high as Is cents and
fought for it, but voted for Z cents when he found
that was the best he could get.
During the past decade the requirements of the
rapidly expanding tire fabric industry in the
United States have caused this country to become
the second largest buyer of Egyptian cotton. The
number of motor vehicles in .use in the United
States has grown each year, in 1921 amounting to
10,125,000, about eight times as many as in 1913.
The tire fabric industry uses half this cotton, i'm
ported Egyptian and native Pima, while the sewing.
thread industry is second in its use of this cotton.
This has resulted in the extension of the Pima
cotton industry in the southwest from 375 bales in
1912 to 1851 bales in 1921. The emergency tariff
has not resulted in actually increasing the price of
Ame~rican-Egyptian Pima cotton, although it NAV
have stabilized the price somewhat The fine cloth
