WIN Serue Full Term

THERE ARE THOSE in some parts of the state
L that have hesitated in giving a cordial support
TO Hon. John w. Hay. Republican candidate for
governor, fearing lest he should use the office as
a stepping stone to the United States senate as did
Senator kendrick, six years ago. From the fact.
that Mr.. Hay was a candidate for senator in 1918,
for the seat occupied by Senator Warren, and which
he declined to longer fill, but was later induced to
accept because of the war crisis, lent color to the
fes- that Mr.. Hay would deprive the people of
Wyoming of his services as governor after only
two years in the chair, and before reforms could
! be fully worked out.
NGrrona county friends and well-wishers of the
Republican candidate wrote him on the subject and
are today reassuring voters that John Hay will
stick and serve the full term for which he will be
elected in November.
They have a letter from MI. Hay which tells them
in these words: During the campaign l spoke in
connection with this matter, and l desire to say,
that il elected, I shall serve the full term and have
never had the least idea or inclination to do other
wise"
Thus It occurs that John Hays ambition to carry
into effect his proposals for the benefit of the peo-
pie of Wyoming come first. 1t is not a matter of
personal vanity on the part of Mr.. Hay to rise to
political heights for the sake of the prestige it
gives. There is no such element in his make up. He
wants to be the governor because it affords the
direct opportunity TO serve friends and neighbors
throughout Wyoming who are having a hard time
getting along. To help them is more important to
him than the title of governor" senator" or that
which goes with any other office. The office is not
what he cares for. Wealth, position. honor and the
firm friendship of thousands of people who have
known him for thirty years are his already. To
repay consistent friendship with real service, that
is John Hays desire.
At the time he was a candidate for senator, the
office had no real attraction for him. Ee consent
ed then, Just as he did in the present instance, be-
cause legions of friends urged him, believed in him
and desired a man of his forcefulness to represent
them in Washington and maintain the record es-
tablished by Senator Warren in his long and able
service. When it was presented to John Hay in the
midst of that campaign, that it was the belief of
Wyoming and the nation that Senator Warren
could better serve the country as Mornings sen
ator in time of war, because of his long connection
with the senate military affairs committee. he
wired his withdrawal from the race and served
without pay on the state board of exemption, thus
doing his bit in a war activity where his talent and
Judgment would best serve.
Wyoming has always admired John Hay for that,
as we'll as other unselfish acts. And it may be in
part, why he has so many staunch friends and adj
1nirerers in the state today.

the honorable but announcement title of poor man
includes most OF u.s. we are with the poor man and
have no Intention of seeing him get any the worst
Of it In any coming system that may be established
in Casper. The struggle heretofore has been TO get
sufficient shelter Of amy kind for anybody. We
have not caught up on building shortage yet, but
have done a whole lot toward relieving the situa-
tion Of two years ago. The arrival Of Texas refinery
builders, Mammoth and Sinclair officials and field
men, aside from the natural growth of the city has
brought US back 10 scarcity Of houses again. and
demand for cheap building lots. These are being
supplied by the real estate men and at very rea-
sonable figures and terms, but there is still failure
on the part Of the city to supply water and other
facilities to the outlying sections as rapidly as
could be desired, which no doubt viii be corrected
shortly.
In the rapid building of an Industrial center like
Casper, the poor man has not been neglected. what
ever may have befallen the rest OF the community.
One instance will show. One OF the eastern addi-
tions was placed on the market in juno Of last year
and promptly closed out BY December following.
just six months later one hundred and ~fifty-two
homes had been built and as many families living
in them temporarily and happily. Real estate
men, building and loan people, contractors and
building material firms had all done their part in
one way or another in making these homes posi-
bic. The eastern section Of tine city is a fine one
and in the years to come will be still finer, when
lawns and trees and other outdoor improvements
have been maze.
There has been no lack of interest in the poor
man. All he had TO have here, as is the case every
where else, is the right stuff in him.
In the particular section referred to this was
specially noticeable. When tine home was built anil
the lady OF the house moved in, a baby buggy was
parked on one side ON the house and a flivver on the
other side. The head of that family embarked in
that nivver each morning accompanied by a dinner
pail, and at nightfall returned; while during the
day the other member of that firm found time TO
do her Homework and take n future good citizen
out for an airing in the Other vehicle mentioned.
This was largely the case in that neighborhnod.
Folks like these will get along, help or no help
from the outside. They have The spirit aud are
unashamed and unafraid.
\ zoning system will be just rs advantageous 10
the people of this newer distric: as it win be to
those of any other district, for they will just about
say what restrictions they desire.
There is ample time for a full discussion of the
zoning plan before January, for before anything
can be actually done in the matter it is necessary
TO pass a Legislative act enabling the city TO estab-
lish such a system.

Situation in Industry

CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF the labor dis.
" turbances in the coal and transportation indus
tries are still hindering in some degree general
business progress.
The production of steel ingots in August declined
272.522 tons from the July total. which in turn was
a decrease of 147,373 tons from the output for June.
For the eight months ended August 81, however.
the output of steel ingots was somewhat more than
&c per cent in excess of the total output for the cor
responding period in 1921. In the third week of
September the steel industry as a whole was oper-
ating at about two-thirds of capacity.
Pig iron production last month was the smallest
in any month this year since February, but was
more than 90 per cent larger than the total for
August. 1921.
A chief requisite of continued business expan.
sion is adequate transportation. II coal can now
he steadily supplied to various parts of the coun-
try for both Industrial and domestic uses. the gen
eral business prospect should become more assur-
ing. Car %loadings have increased greatly since the
settlement of the coal strike, although bituminous
coal ~loadings are reported to be still below normal.
Construction activity showed a slight seasonal
decline during August. Contracts for building
awarded in twenty-seven Northeastern States dur.
ing the month showed an S per cent decrease from
the amount awarded during July but a &c per cent
increase over the total in August, 1921.
Motor vehicle production for the first eight
months of this year approximated 1854, 900 cars and
trucks. and for the year is expected to exceed 2.00O,-
200. The present prosperity of the automobile bust
ness provides employment. it is estimated. for $50.
900 people, and its effect on other lines may be ap-
p%reciated when it is considered that 80 per cent of
the plate glass manufactured in this country, %
per cent Of the aluminium supply. 20 per cent of the
tin, 16 per cent of the copper output, and 4 per cent
of the annual iron and steel production are used
in the manufacture of motor cars and their parts.
Unemployment in the country has become prac-
tically normal. About this time last year it was
estimated that approximately 100000 workers
were out of employment. Today it is estimated that
only 100000 are seeking work. while another mil
lion and a half are on part.time work. Reports
from various parts of the country, in fact. refer
to labor shortages in certain districts and trades.
