that he will have three powerful
friends IL he commits the deed. These
three friends are sentimentality, the

BACK TO SOIL
IS MODERN CRY
OF LAND OWNER
High Taxes Bring Boost
In Demand for Tracts
In City Suburbs.

In a recent interview with C. A.
Davis. real estate salesman for the
Baker Crude Investment company.
he gave a number of interesting facts
relative to the growing tendency
which is sweeping the country for
suburban tracts. Mr.. Davis stated:
"The back to the soil movement is
continually becoming more pro-
nounced on the western coast and in
the eastern sections where thousands
of people are flocking to the subur-
ban districts and locating on ths
acreage tracts. This is due to sew
eral causes. One thing is that h
continually advancing prices of prop
erty which is close in, make the in
terest a big item, while the high axe
make the more expensive home a
luxury. 1t is not out OF tbs ordinary
for a property owner with only a
middle class home to pay out 81, 900
in a year on taxes. interest, upkeep
and other incidental expenses. This
money is gone. and the only chance
to ever get a portion of it back is by
the increased value of the property.
Had this amount been expended.
on. say half an acre in the suburbs,
the owner could pay for the land
and put up a modest cottage. He
would also have a an acre for. a
garden plot, while his three lots
would constantly grow in value.
There is absolutely no indication OF
a decrease in rentals in Casper. The
ordinary rent on a modest home here
for two years will pay for a tract in
Mountain View and erect a homo on
it.
with the great activities which
are planned for the Casper field this
year. there will be n continued in.

which is directly tributary to Casper.

campaign. and a number OF wells will
be brought in Immediately on COM
pletion of the six inch line now being
laid from the field to Casper. The
North and South railroad also means
a big stimu.ous toward Casper's ad.
vancement as a wholesale center.
Considering these facts. which are
only a portion of the many plans for
development. it is more than evident
that the housing problem will con-

the latter may be protected not only
from punishment, but even from ar

Sir Basil Thompson. former chief of
Scotland Yards. commenting on the
Good Housekeeping article, says: "Mr.
Cosulich seems to have missed one
point. The number of police en-
ployed in America is far smaller in
relation to population than ia con.

 JUNEAU IDEA.

Senator Jones stated at the meeting at the oily Hall last Friday that he would be willing to and would urge if necessary to get the pulp and paper industry atartod in Alaska, that the Government sell timber on fifty year leases at five ten cents red out. He accepted the principle that the bene- fits to the Government and the people of the Nation accrung from the natural resources should come in profits through their development and rather than stumpage, royalties, rentals, etc. incidental to the ownership.
 In other words Senator Jones is in favor of at tempting adjust conservation the principles the application of which led to the development of the United States. The rapid and substantial growth of the nation due to the fact that the Govern ment parted with the ownership of the lands, min nominal prices, holding up the prospect for "un- earned increment prize to induce men with capital ability and energy enter in and develop. If it had not been that the carly settlers the lands and, in many instances, those who invested money in the development of water power and other resources had believed that the lands rights required from the Government would day be worth great deal more than they the time Of their appropriation settlement and development would not have been rapid.
 Senator Jones accepted the Juneau idea on the it. which would not deprive capital individuals of the prospect for the "unearned increment prize on the hand but that would, the other hand provide for without waste, the perpetuation of the forests.

 If this process continues it cannot result other wise than in abandoning foreign markets to wiser competitors and restricting the home market.
 Lower tariffs and immigration would make productions costs less, extend the foreign markets and increase home consumption. If we produce more the producers will raw materials and give employment for labor and the more people we have the greater will be the consumption of food stufs, automobiles, etc.
