GET THE POISON SQUAD.

The peddlers of poison and dope are the scoundrels
that must be hunted down and put out Of business.
Other and milder offenders against laws are not so
damaging in their operations. They can wait their
turn at the mill if necessary. These people who go
about the business of co:amitting murder and regard
it as a trade or means OF livelihood must be made to
understand the horrible things they are doing to the
human family.
Nobody will care much if a small quantity Of regu-
lar liquor or a high quality of moon find their way to
consumers who feel that they must have something Of
the sort. But now is the most dangerous period OF
the whole prohibition experiment. Private supplies
held over have practically vanished. lmportations
from Canada, Cuba, Mexico and elsewhere are grow
ing more difficult and prohibitive in price. In their
desperation, people are turning more and more to the
outlawed stuff of local production, which is mostly
unscicntifcally. carelessly and ignorantly made. In
gradients and chemical combinations in the hands of
ignorant amateurs rarely fail to produce dire results
among those who consume the finished product.
Hundreds, if not thousands, have died in agony
within the last few weeks from drinking decoctions
called whisky. Thousands more will follow if a way
is not discovered to suppress the makers and purvey-
os of this liquid death.
About the dope. The scarcity of liquor has been
the cause of many turning to other forms of dissipa-
ton. Among them is dope, so called narcotics. Bad
liquor is bad enough, but dope is worse, if possible.
A campaign against the narcotic distributor, thorough
and with drastic finish would contribute much to we'll
being of the human family.
Let all energy be devoted to putting the poison
squad out Of business. The other troubles will be
more easily handled.

FOR Mr.. HAYS CONSIDERATION

1t is TO be hoped that Mr.. Hays will include among
the reforms to be made in the moving picture industry
a decree that there must be an end to political propa-
ganda through the instrumentality of the screen. Dur
ing the campaign to prevail upon the senate to ratify
the Versailles treaty with the league of nations cove
nant, the pro-league viewpoint was brazenly exploited
through the movies. Barney Baruch financed the pro-
duction of a film entitled, Uncle Sam of Freedom
RIDGE" that was admittedly a bid for support for the
league idea. The movies were also used to boost the
Liberty bond drives, which was quite a proper func-
ton for them under the circumstances, but the APP
peals to tine public to buy bonds were shot through
and through with pro-Wilson, pro-McAdoo. and pro-
Democratic stuff that disguised all fair minded peo-
pie. Even now the movie industry is still influenced
from the same source. While Mr.. Wilson was deliv-
ering his recent speech" of 100 words to his ad-
mirers who are endeavoring to collect funds for the
Wilson Foundation. the movie men were busy, and pic
lures of the event were flashed on the screens of the
country together with a view of the council chamber
of the league of nations showing the vacant chair re-
served for the United States. 1t will be as much the
duty of Mr.. Hays to keep the films free from inspired
stuff of that sort as to maintain them on a high moral
plane.

CAN'T re REAL

The Guernsey Gazette calls attention to the appar-
emit modification of his Democratic faith by Senator
John B. Kendrick, in addressing the people of Repub-
lican strongholds in his recent state tour and is of the
opinion that the senator is more or less incorporating.
The Gazette says: John Kendrick has his mule handi-
capped with an elephants skin over it. John has cast
good Old Democratic doctrines to the four winds and
advocates a tariff on wool. He is running on the
Democratic ticket, but has adopted Republican prin-
ciples. Wonder IL he could talk any of those south
ern Democratic members into supporting such a thing.
A blind man could see that a Republican could accom-
plish such n matter much easier. Apparently it's just
n matter Of being hard put"
, 1922-01-30
ECONOMY IN c-ovERNMENr.

Few people realize that the actual running expenses
OF 'he government have been cut approximately to the
pre-war figure through the drastic economies instit-
tuted by the Republican administration, yet such is the
TACT That does not mean, of course, that the gross
annual expenditures have been reduced to the level Of
1915, but, with the elimination of the fixed charges
directly due to the war, the country is almost back
again to the pre-war expense rate. Interest on the
puone debt, compensation for former service men, and
sinking fund appropriations make a total Of about
Sz,ooo,ooo,o0o of annual charges that must be met
regardless Of the ordinary running expenses of the
government. Republican economy can have no effect
upon them, so that sum must be subtracted from the
total expenditures of any year to determine the COM
parative cost of supporting federal activities.
Chairman Madden Of the house appropriations com
mittee predicts that the appropriations for the next fs-
cal year will not exceed $500, 900, 900. That means
that the actual operating excuses of the government
departments and bureaus will not be greater than ST.,
600,oO0,00o. That is only $3.50, 900, 900 more than
wns spent each year before the war.

CHINA IMPORTS FROM GERMANY,

Two and a half times as much German china and
porcelain reached the United States in January-No-
vember, 1921, on the basis of declared values, as in the
first IL months of 1920. The value Of these German
imports for the 1920 period was s722, 900, and for
the 1921 period, s1,so4,00o. The German pottery
makers are now cutting their prices to such a point
that they are actually prying out the Japanese COM
~pctitors for the American market. Our total imports
of this class of goods for the IL months of 1921 was
valued at 81 500, 900, compared with So 06, 900 in
1913. "While the preliminary official figures do not
show the quantity of china and earthenwarc imported,
it is not unlikely, in view of the price adjustments
that are beginning to appear in the worlds invoices,
that some part of the 1921 increase represents larger
quantities as WELL" declares the department. So it is
not altogether the value that accounts for the increase.
German competition is making itself felt in almost
every market in the world, but perhaps more SO in the
American market than anywhere else. The Republican
tariff bill should ease the situation, once it becomes
a law.

ACTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION.

january has opened with every promise of active
building construction throughout the country. There
will be, of course, spots here and there where there is
lacking any incentive to build through unfavorable To-
cal conditions, Such spots are lost sight of in a sur
vey of general conditions and prospects. With grad
ually declining yields on all classes of investments it
may be expected that funds heretofore unavailable to
the mortgage market will be turned into construction
projects.
Labor has not been ~hquidated and building costs
therefore are still far above pre-war levels, and are
out of line with prices generally. This condition op-
crates especially against building and construction for
production of income, but not SO heavily against in
dividual enterprises for personal occupancy, or public
buildings and public works.
Consequently the field of residence building and
public construction offers the greatest promise. The
housing shortage has not yet been met. The entire
country needs highway construction, and there is
widespread necessity for essential public buildings. 1t
is recognized as good public policy to carry on con-
struction of these classes at times when industrial ac-
tfvity is at a relatively low level. Lower money is
making this construction possible. This is unmistak-
ably shown by the volume of state, county and munich
pal bond issues in the United States in 1921. The
total for the entire country is unavailable, but offer
ings are known to have exceeded 81, 900, 000, 900.
, 1922-01-30

other class was ruthlessly injured. While there was
not much reduction in the cost Of food to the consum-
en- there was an enormous cut in the price paid to the
producer. The Wilson administration, always imprae-
teal IN It's methods, struck blindly at prices of food.
OUT accomplished little except spread ruin among the
produeers Of food. We do not say that the Demo
cratic Administration was solely responsible for deaa-
non The fact is that dehation would have come any
way but 1t would have been a natural, evenly dis
u1euted ~defation, II the Wilson administration had
not undertaken to force It by artificial means and bv
bringing pressure upon one class Of commodities The
farmer hss a just grievance against the Democratic
administration, the record proves 1t, and the farmer
is not going to forget 1t.

A EDITION.

In reviewing The Casper Tribune's recent industrial
edition, the Billings Gazette, Montana's leading daily
newspaper says;
"The Billings Gazette is in receipt Of n copy of the
edition of the Casper Daily Tribune, and
takes this occasion to pay tribute to the organization
which perfected such a splendid output. Not only is
the edition a remarkable tribute to the printing in
dustry, but it speaks volumes for Montana's neigh
boring state, as well as the thriving city in which it is
published.
'The entire field of industrial activity in Wyoming
is dealt with in the most pleasing manner, and seldom,
if ever, were a states industries shown to better adj
vantage because of the liberal use of Illustrations,
which in themselves are a credit to the author as well
as portraying to the world the remarkable opportuni-
ties existent in Wyoming"
, 1922-01-30
NO KICK IN 1T.

1t is anticipated that the Genoa conference will in
clude representatives from 40 nations. That is about
the number Of members in the league Of nations. The
very fact that they are getting together at Genoa tes-
titles to the moribund condition of the league. The
league assembly provided a means for general consul
tation among all Of the members. but the rules of the
covenant restricting what the assembly may do, and
setting over it a council of eight big powers, were
enough to take the spirit out of any gathering. Wheth-
err the Genoa meeting accomplishes anything or not,
It will at least be a free interchange Of views, unem-
barrassed by any such threats and penalties as are
provided in the league covenant. Despite that fact,
we shall probably hear that the Genoa conference is
patterned closely after the league assembly, and that
really Mr.. Wilson should be given full credit for it.
As a matter Of fact, the proceedings at Genoa will de-
rive their inspiration from what has taken place in the
free conference Of the nations at Washington. which
Harding originated and carried through to
completion.

A National Forest Policy

..No wood on the farm. no food In

wood consumed in America to supply
the farms HI produce u food. The
farm industry is the greatest single
user of wood.
The farmer finds II harder and
harder TO get lumber at reasonable
costs. The reason is clear. Five
sixths OF our virgin timbe IL gone.
Two-thirds OF all the states, with so
million people and more thar four
flfths OF the farm values of the coun-
try depend for timber on the few re-
manning states which stll cut more
than they consume. Within ten years
the entire country Will have to de-
pend on two or three states for nearly
all its softwood lumber.
Moreover, what we can not supply
at home we can not secure abroad.

Democrats who try to square their party with the
farmers by denying responsibility for the abrupt drop
in prices of farm crops should remember that in Au-
gust, 1919, President Wilson promised the four Broth
erhood leaders that all the power of the government
would be exerted to bring down the high cost of liv-
ing. This was in an effort to prevent the railroad
strike in the fulfllrent Of that promise a policy was
pursued which made the farmer the first and severost
