in the parade and heard Colonel
Mentzer's address The representa-
ton from this city was not as large
as 1t was hoped for or expected, still
the defense program was a distinct
success and has paved the way for
defense plans which are in accord-
ance with the express provisions of
Il Federal law.
At the Strand the invocation was
delivered by the Rev. f f. Kraft.
The Rawlins band. which took an i'm
p%ortant part in the parade, played
a selection. America was sung
by the audience and this number was
followed by a solo by Mrs. c. w.
jeffrey. The introduction was given
by Mayor Henry Perrett and the
main address by Colonel Mentzer fol-
lowed. The keynote of his speech
~embodyed the purpose of Defense
day and what it meant to this great
country to be prepared, rather than
az it was at the beginning of the
World War and he dealt in detail
upon the possibilities of another war,
not in the spirit of aggressiveness
but rather in the spirit of defense.
The entire address was notable for
its concreteness. clarity and logic and
it was an inspiration to all who
heard 1t.
Following Colonel Mentzer's ad-
dress, Mayor Perrett gave another
short address and his talk was fol-
lowed by the Star Spangled Ban
ner" by the audience. Benediction
was given by the Rev. F. F. Kraft.
Although the reports do not give
an accurate estimate of total of the
one-day volunteers who turned out
to fill up the ranks of the regular
army, national guard and organized
reserves. the fact that almost all of
the military forces in the United
States used in approximate wal
strength indicated that 100000
men enrolled The other civilian par
Elephants giving n reported total of
16.O02.7S1 took part in the 6.535
local demonstrations in the form OF

WIRING ON JACK BEEDIE'S
CAR CUT LAST FRIDAY

Many times a knock may he con
sidered a boost and it may be 50 con
sidered with the cutting of the wires
and the smearing of grease ove the
crank case of Jack Beedie's car last
Friday night while it was in a garage
at 10th and Pine Street.
Jack Beedie recently started "A gar
bage disposal system in Rawlins, an
improvement which has greatly help
ed the city, and he has enjoyed an
exceptionally good patronage. Who
ever debased himself enough to
crawl through the windows of four
other garages to get to Beedie's car
and cut the wires can hardly be o IL
sidered a desirable citizen but rather
should be in an institution with
either members who have depraved

Reynolds Reports
Reduction Income
Taxes Greatly Helps

Collector OF Internal Revenue, NJ.
S. Reynolds. says that the majority
OF the taxpayers are paying the third
installment of income taxes well in
advance of the final due date which
Is September 18th. The 25 per cent
reduction in the case of individual
income taxes has enabled many to
pay their accounts in full. The
number OF these full paid accounts
indicates a very healthy condition Of
finances in the State.
The recent statements mailed
from the Collectors Office showed
the 25 per cen allowed under Sec.
1900 OF the Revenue Act OF 1924.
This fact and the fact that the state
meuts did not show the initial pay
ment of tax caused a little confusion
in the minds OF some OF the tax
payers. Taxpayers are advised that
the last amount shown in the bal
ance column of the statement may
be paid in two equal installments.
the first being due September 18th
and the final installment Dec. 18th.
In very exceptional cases involving
accounts in connection with which tax
payers received a credit for taxes
withheld at source taxpayers did not
receive the proper credit. Taxpayers
alleging that a further credit Is due
them on account OF tax withheld at
source may file claims TO Offset the
lnstallment OF tax due Sept. 18th.
Such claims will be accepted without
bond

-" Excess of imports.

1T will be seen from the above
that we had a favorable trade bal
ance up to March, 1914 though stead
lily decreasing, and then the monthly
trade balance turned against the
United States and remained against
us until September, 1914, when the
war u off imports and began to
bring us war orders for II COM
modities.
For many years prior to the war
the United States had an adverse
invisible trade balance" on account
of money spent abroad by American
tourists money paid to foreigners as
interest and dividends on American
securities money sent abroad by
aliens resident here and money paid
to foreign shipping. 1t required n
large favorable balance in merchan-
disc trade to offset this invisible
trade balance against us. The Dem
ocratic tariff, which wiped out our
favorable merchandise balance left
us no income to offset our outgo, and
we were headed rapidly for Industrial
disaster when the war served to re-
verse the situation.
This is the fact, proven by Dem
ocratic records"

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF
AND DWINDLING BALANCES

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 15.-"In
their W official records Democrat
ic leaders will find a mathematical
demonstration of the destructive eff
feet of their tariff policies declares
the Republican Publicity Association
through its President, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne Jr. The record will be
found in the reports of foreign trade
as published in 1894 by the Will
son administration. That record
shows that in the ten months dur
ing which the Democratic tariff law
, 1924-09-18
RAWllNs, WYOMING, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1924

was in effect prior to the outbreak
of the war in Europe, we had a fav-
orable balance of trade of only $685.
000, 1000 as compared with a favor
able balance of $6O6, 600, 900 for the
corresponding ten months in the
previous year under the Republican
tariff. This was a reduction of $500
000, 600 in ten months or at the rate
of $26,000,0 600 per month.
This change was brought about
by both an increase in imports and a
decrease in exports under the Dem
ocratic tariff. While the Democratic
tariff did not impose a legal restruc-
ton upon exports, it did impose a
practical restriction since the cur
tailed operation of domestic agencies
of production meant a higher cost
of production for unit of product and
hampered the American producer in
bidding for export sales. Compar-
ing the two periods above mentioned
it is found that our imports increased
from $1,503, 100000 under the Re-
publican law to S1,605, 900 900 I'M
der the Democratic law while our eX-
ports decreased from $2,11O, 900, 900
under the Republican law tor $1,951,-
600 900 under the Democratic law.
In round figures we imported $780,
100000 more in goods and export
ed $3.50, 600, 900 less making the
change to our disadvantage a total
of $3.50, 100000.
1.-The demonstration is presented
more in detail and the effect of the
Democratic law can be more i'm
pressively seen when a study is made
of the trade balances by months.
The Democratic law went into effect
October 3 1913. Here are the bal
ances for each month up to the end
of July when the war broke out:
