Maintaining His Repatriation

Running true to form William G. McAdoo, ac-
tive candidate for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency, issued n statement a few
days ago in the state of Washington that is. as
mildly as it may be considered, a mass of mis-
representations.
First it charges that the Esch- Cummins act,
passed by a Republican congress, resulted in ex-
cessive freight and passenger rates to the injury
of agriculture.
The Esch Cummins act was necessary in order
to take the railroads from government control
(where Mr.. McAdoo and n Democratic congress
placed them and return them to private con
troll.
railroads, freight rates were "hiked' to a higher
American railroads. There they remained until
congress, became effective. Since that time
freight rates have been gradually reduced. In
a great many cases they have been radically re,
duced by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
That they have not been reduced more is due to
the fact that the railroads were wrecked to such
n degree under Mr.. McAdoo's regime that it has
been necessary TO keep the rates abnormally high
in order to repair some of the damage done un-
der Mr.. McAdoo's railroad administration.
Mr.. McAdoo grossly misrepresents the situa.
tion when he states the Esch- Cummins act re,
suited in excessive high freight rates.
This appears 10 be a practice Of Mr.. McAdoo.
Last year in two or three western speeches he
stated that the Republican, administration vas
responsible for the deflation of farm prices.

No Guarantee

Despite the plain language of the law, many
critics of the railroads are still declaring that
the transportation act guarantees" the rail
roads a net return of six per cent. President C.
r. Gray, of the Union Pacific, has added one
more ~disproof of this assertion by showing that
in 1920 the roads actually earned about one-third
of one per cent, in 1921 they earned three and
one-third per cent and in 1922 about four and
one-seyenth per cent. There is no escaping the
truth of Mr.. Gray's conclusion. at is perfectly
clear, therefore, that the law in no sense guar
antees the earnings of the railroads. If it did,
the government would owe the railroads more
than a billion dollars for deficits in 1920, 1921
and 1922.
And yet there are people who have so little
regard for the truth that they will go on as
sorting that the Transportation Act guarantees
the earnings of railroads

Honoring Those Who Toll

Tomorrow is a day sacred to Labor, when it
is the privilege and should be the pleasure of
every right-thinking and forwardlooking Amer
lean citizen to pay tribute to the graet army of
sturdy Americans who toll and build for the
glory of our common country.
1t is a day too, which can well be devoted to
reflection upon ways and means to bring peace
and harmony among those who toll and those
who employ, to the end that such peace and har-
mony shall endure, and that honest toll shall
be rewarded in manner commensurate with the
service rendered, and shall be assigned for all
time its honorable and rigthful estate in our
republics economic system.
There can come to our country no peace, no
happiness, no prosperity, where labor is not
justly rewarded, and afforded the same opportu-
nifty as is every other effort of life requiring
brain or muscle to rise, to the best fortune of
fered under our government of equality among
all men.
Let the best brains of the country and the
most patriotic economists included among work
ers and employers continue to devote their eff
forts to a final solution of the problems that
confront these principals, labor and capital,
that have already made America the richest and
most powerful nation of the world.

School Buses

GLENROCK-The two Interna-
tional Buses for school children
transportation arrived the latter
part of last week. The carr are all
enclosed, with heater from the en-
CINE SO arranged that the interior
Of the bus can be heated in the cold
weather. which will make it very
comfortable riding at any time.
Each bus will hold between 20 and
80 pupils. They are painted a light
tan, so that dust does not show ON
them hardly at all. Each is labeled
as the Glenrock-P arkerton school
bus. with their number on the side.
These r exceptionally good trans
pcrtation cars and should give the
drivers no trouble for the first two
or three years.

Please Name the Flavor

The New York World, the most rabid of the
Democratic Internationalists asserts that
early constructive American Intervention in the
economic affairs of Europe will help restore
the world to its balance"
But, pray may we ask what kind of "inter-
vention?"
Intervention" is a vague and expansive term.
Does it maen that We shall undertake to pay
France the amount of money she claims from
Germany? Does it mean that we must cancel
eleven billions of dollars of debts due this coun-
to pay the amount? Does it mean that we must
send an army to Europe to preserve peace on the
Rhine and in the Near East? If intervention
does not mean these things, Just exactly what
does it mean?

The Situation in Shipping

Those who view world conditions so pessi-
unsteady should consider the shipping situa.
ton. In the year ended June 80 last there was n
decrease in the world idle ship tonnage of LAB
900 tons. In our own government-owned fleet
there was a decrease of 155 1000 idle tons and
$4,000 tons in privately owned ships.
The figures can mean only one thing. that the
people all over the world are turning more and
more to productive enterprise, and are demand.
ing more extensive equipment for marketing their
products abroad. If the present movement con
tinues it will be but a matter of months before
pre.war conditions are Appropriated.

Want Hard Surfaced
Road

GLENROCK-For the past year
and over the road between Glenrock
and Casper has been tried out with
a gravel surface, and 1t has been
found hat this surface will not
stand up under the traffic that this
particular piece of road is subjected
to. There is prehaps no piece of
highway in the state that has as
heavy traffic as has this stretch of
road; not only just the ordinary
traffic that goes over the ular
highways but q great deal of truck
traffic as we'll. There is hardly a
day goes past but what trucks
travel this road loaded anywhere
for IL to 8 tons. This kind of
travel is exceptionally hard on the
road and It has been found that II
Keeps someone constantly working
to keep the road up.
The road was finished with a fine
gravel surface, one of the best sur
faces that it is possible to put on a
highway, other than a hard surface
and this will not stand up under the
traffic. Therefore, it is now neces-
sary to try some other method.
We understand that many of the
Casper motorists are in favor of
making hard surface on this piece
Of highway. This is something that
this paper has advocated ever since
they started to build the gravel sur
faced road here. When we talked it
over with the highway engineers be.
fore the present system was put in,
they stated that something like the
present road would have to be built
first and let it settle to give a foun-
dation for some sort of hard paving.
Now that this a has been in
something over a year and the foun-
dalton is thoroughly settled we be-
lieve h a It is time to start a move
ment for a concrete road between
Casper and Gienrock. With the
Tank Farm at Clayton this makes
the traffic from here to Casper all
the heavier and we are certain that
II means n great demand for a hard
surfaced road,
y hard s;.rfaGed road is an ex-
oensive PROOFS .tlu1. but in the long
run would be q much cheaper road
under the existing traffic conditions.
A strong concrete road over this
stretch of highway would do away
with n large amount of the cost of
maintenance. and still have n much
better road for travel. 1t would
save the cost Of having to all
the time be building up the road and
making repairs.
Just what the cost OF cementing
such n road is we do not know, but
ii will probably come to this in a
very short time anyway as that is
the only kind of road that will last
under this kind of travel. Wyoming
IS well noted for the quality of their
highways. and we believe thai the
people of this part of the state
should all WORK for such n road here.
In time there is no doubt but what
the road all the way between Cas-
per and Douglas will need 10 he
hard surfaced. but that particular
part of the road that is now subject
ed to the hardest traffic is between
Casper and Glenrock. AS there is
no hard surfaced road In the state
except out of Casper toward Salt
Creek. we believe that this is a very
good place to try % miles of u
faced highway. Let's have a reg
ular boulevard to Casper. What
say you?

NEW YORK, Aug. From the
standpoint of the manufacturer this

dictate an interruption to progress
and prosperity in the immediate flu
ture, Mr.. Gary said yesterday after
announcing that in the three months
ended June 80 the company's operat-
ing profits were $47.S5S,1S1 more
than s5,000,000 in excess OF unofficial
estimates.

a tendency to hurt business of any
kind. and I would not Intentionally
say anything that would make any
one more hopeful of the future than
the facts justify. ] think / am justi-
fed in saying. however, that from the
standpoint of the manufacturer we

chance to carry on its affairs to the
ultimate benefit and protection of our
