The violation of this law is grave

1t is breeding contempt for all

realize that laws protect human

fabulous wealth with such small
population would hold for our
Wyoming boys and girls unlimit-
ed possibilities. and yet, today,
a high per cent OF our population
is in%solvent. Why is 1T that with
such vast fields of wealth and
such a sparsely settled state we do
not find greater prosperity The
answer is ready. A high per cent.
OF this great wealth is in the con-
troll Of large corporate interests,
which are non-residents of the
state and which pay taxes not
upon mines OF tremendous value
within our borders. and to which
revenue the state is entitled. but
upon tho output. A mine may be
worth in the open market $780,
900 900 and from Il may be re-
moved only a ton of ore a year.
Tho property worth 800, 900, 900,
under the present law. goes un.
taxed. Only the ton removed Is
subject to taxation. There Is a
market value for these rich mines; .
there should be a taxation value.
The sum paid in taxation into the
treasury OF u state is trifling
compared to the amount paid on
other products of equal value.
That is not the method by which
other interests are taxed. A man
ownes q farm. He doesn't pay tax.
es only upon the products of hat
farm. He pays upon both the
farm and what It produces. Our
real estate Is burdened with heav-
Ter taxes than it can reasonably
bear. A largo majority of our
people are paying to the limit of
their ability upon their small
holdings. Some of our property
is assessed Mt more than It can be
sold for in the open market, while
the large moneyed interests are
almost exempt from paying the
adequate tax which should be as
sisting in defraying the expenses
of tho state. This Is an unfor-
tunRte condition. which. in Justice
to all. should be corrected. Some
means should be devised to COM
pei these powerful corporation. to
pay their full share OF :ne taxes.
thus alternating the burdens which
fall so heavily upon the residents
of this state. Some OF these great
concerns promote the growth of
this state only to the extent of es-
.tablishinE offices in 1t, and their
main business in Wyoming is re-
moving this wealth to other states
where they have constructed their
great manufacturing plants. and
are paying their taxes upon our
products into the treasury of those
states instead Of into the treasury
OF the state OF Wyoming. employ

Despite the fact that, of all on the

the Sabbath. Nor did he vary his

Boys Now
Guests At White
House.
By JEAN ELIOT.

A THOUGH the period Of OF.
~ fetal mourning for the late
President Harding closed
yesterday, and the flags, which
have been at half-staff for a
month, fly at full staff today.
there will be no immediate re-
sumption of social activity at the
White House. The President and
Mrs. Coolidge feel too deep and
personal a sorrow for the death
of their friend and the nations
Chief Executive to have any
heart for formal festivities so
soon; and, besides, Mrs. Coolidge
is in mourning for her father,
whose death preceded that of
President Harding by but a few
weeks. Tomorrow, however, the
state apartments of the White
House, which have been closed
for the last month, will be thrown
open to visitors.
Following their attendance at
services at the First Congrega-
tional Church yesterday, President
and Mrs. Coolidge had luncheon
with Mrs. Harding at Friendship,
the country home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Beale McLean-a touch
ing close to the nations period of
official mourning. Mrs. Harding's
most pressing duties here are
drawing to close and it is ex-
pected that she will leave this
week for Marion, Ohio. Assur-
ance is growing, however, that
she will make her home in Wash
ington for at least part Of the
year-and one hopes that in this
instance the wish is not father to
the thought.
The two sons OF the President
and Mrs. Coolidge, John and Cal
vim. jr., arrived at the White
House last night. 1t has not yet
been decided whether they will re-
main until the beginning of the
fall term at Mercersburg Acad-
envy, where they are students, or
whether they will first make a
visit or two. Last evening was
the first time the boys had seen
their father since he became
President, John haviag been IN
attendance at the training camp
at Camp Devens, Mass, and Cal
vim at work on a New England
farm.
