The French Proposal

The French proposal for the settlement of her
debt to the United States, reaches this side mark
ed Confidential and unofficial" 1t is none the
less welcome because it puts an end to rumors
that France intends to repudiatc her debt to us,
or expects us to cancel them.
The memorandum includes two main argu.
ments why the United States should agree to n
ten year moratorium and thereafter eighty an.
nual payments, contingent, however on Ger
many's fulfilmcnt of her obligations TO France
under the Dawes plan. The original suggestion
for sixty-eight years now has been rejected by
the French, who believe that it is too short a
period in which to pay the entire debt. The argu-
ment in favor of eighty years is based principally
on the French viewpoint that transfer operations
beyond $I0,000,000 annually, representing French
reimbursements to the United States of CONNER
cial obligations at the present time, are dan.
gerous and impossible to e~nvisage.
The second argument is on the somewhat moral
ground that if France recognizes the debt, and
submits to a funding arrangement, payments
must hinge on Germany's fulfilment of her obi
cations to France. The memorandum suggests in
this connection that if Germany should default
in any certain year-assuming that the French
debt is funded along the prescribed lines =
France should not be obligated to pay her install
ment that year, nor pay doubly the next year.
, The entire French debt is four and a half bill
lion dollars. Under the proposal made, with no
bad luck it would be cleaned up by 2O15.

Regions Error

1t was quite naturally supposed that the Hon.
Charles w. Rigdon of Cheyenne would be a mem-
Der of the unofficial cabinet that assisted in guild
ing the ship of state when the lately elected gov
ernor came into office. 1t was generally known
that Mr.. Rigdon was a close personal friend of
the late governor and frequently brought into
counsel on public matters.
1t Is noted that in the new administration
which in effect is a continuation of the one inter
rupted by death, Mr.. Riglon is nowhere in evi.
dencc.
In casting about for an explanation the infor-
nation comes to hand that the reason is that Mr..
Rigdon was indiscreet enough 10 boast that after
the inauguration he would be the governor in
fact. This coming to the governors cars, his name
was removed from the list of devoted friends to
be depended upon for advice. Respect for Gov.
ernor Ross increased accordingly. And there is
no man IN the state who would not deem it an
honor TO do his bit to aid in the honor and sue.

Permanent Prosperity

With the exception of a few spots of secondary
Importance there has been during the past year a
real advance toward social, economic and polit-
ical stability throughout the world. The only ex-
ceptions are Russia and China, which even before
the war contributed less than three and one.half
per cent of international commerce. A part of
this continues. Generally the world is producing
more goods, there is fuller employment, there are
higher standards of living, moro assurance of
economic stability for the future, and more prom
Use of peace than we have seen for many years.
In our country the outstanding economic devel-
opment of the year has been the very large recov-
cry in agriculture after its twoyear lag behind
the recovery of industry. There are some second
airy difficulties still remaining, particularly in
the cattle industry and the effect of the subnor-
nal corn crop, but the prices of all farm prod
acts are gradually moving toward the general
average of commodity prices. This improvement
in prices of farm products has been paralleled
with some decrease in the prices of many indus
Eial commodities, such as fuel, building mater
his, metals, etc, so that here has been little
change in the average of all price levels, and
thus the farmers purchasing power is being REM
edied in both directions.
While there has been a good deal of adjust
ment in prices of single commodities during the
year, the average wholesale price of all commod-
tiles has varied but three per cent as between the
ends of the year 1922, 1928 and 1924. 1t would
thus appear that we are tending to the common
level in prices of about 80 per cent over pre-war,
which seems to represent at least our present
economic plane in prices.
The average wage in industry has been stable
during the last year and remains around 100 per
cent above pre-war, while the cost of living has
maintained almost exactly the same level at the
end of each of the last three years, 1922, 1928 and
1924, about 70 per cent over pre-war.
D." Two ndustries-textiles and northern soft coal
have Jagged in recovery. The textiles are suf-
fering i'll part from sharp competition of foreign
imports, and in part from shift in national hab-
its. An improvement may be looked for in the
forthcoming year.
Our foreign trade has shown considerable ex-
pansion during the year in exports, and some de
crease in imports.
It has been suggested in some press quarters
at home and abroad that the result of these favor
able factors may be leading our country toward
a period of initiation of the character of $1,000
with its disaster of 1921. 1t can be assuredly stat.
ed that we are on the march of wholesome recov.
cry from the war, and there is no present indica-
ton of initiation.

hayo gone to tho department.
George Z. Cortclyou. chairman OF
tho Republican national committee
at n time. went there. Frank B.
Hitchcock. another Republican II
tional chairman. was named post
master general and VIII Hays. Re
publican chairman in 1920 was the
most recent appointen to the same
portfolio.
Harry New. postmaster general
by appointment OF President Hard
ing. was at n time a Republican
national chairman. He has not Yet
announced whether he intends TO
stay on, though. after Tuesdays
cabinet meeting this week, Mr.. Cool
idge asked him to remain. The story
is that when that die was cast, Mr..
Slemp's chances to be postmaster
general at this time vanished. He
left that day for New York on busi-
ness and while there news OF his
impending resignation leaked out.
1t was officially confirmed today.
Just what impclied Mr.. Coolidge
to ask Mr.. New to stay is not yet
clear, for 1t is known that apart
from tho ease of Mr.. Slemp there
were others whose names had been
brought forward for the possible
vacancy. Tho impression has been
general that Mr.. New sought to re-
tire to private life for personal rea-
sons. There is said to DO some In
ternal politics in the postonice de-
partment which led the president to
insist on Mr.. News staying In Of
nce. but It would not be surprising
IL this were only a temporary AFFAIR.
Representative Sanders is heartily
commended by Mr.. Slemp. who re-
CARDS him as one OF the ablest men
for the Job, particularly because of
the wide acquaintance OF tho In
diana member of congress with his
colleagues in both houses.
Mr.. Sanders was well enough re-
garded to be mentioned for the vice
presidency at tho last Cleveland
convention. but was vetoed by Sena-
tor James Watson, whose name was
being brought forward at the same
time.
Outwardly. tho scene is calm and
there is no political upheaval. But
behind the scenes, the pressure for
political appointment is at Its
height, as usual in the days proceed
ing Inauguration. The politicians
who want the Jobs say the incum'
bents have held on long enough and
that other deserving Republicans
ought to have a chance. And Mr..
Coolidge. who recognizes party ser
vice as worthy of reward. is having
q p%erplexing time meeting tho de-
mands of the men who may IN
1928 decide the question of another
presidential nomination for him.

we must provide for the raising of the funds for
1t in a way that will meet public approval and
not impose material burden on those not directly
benefited
The above quotation is from some of the widely
distributed propaganda of the highway commits
sion.
This commission sees nothing except its own
selfish interest, or it would not Mt a time like
the present seek to add to he burdens of the tax
payer, which burdens it acknowledges are bur
densome. 1t would not seek to drag the sum of
100000 or any other sum out these unfortunate
burden bearers.
What the highway commission should do of its
own accord would be to debate its operations for
the present and give taxpayers an opportunity
to get their breath.
And lacking any such move on the highwa,
commissions part, the legislature should prompt.
ly do the debating, by declaring an embargo OF
construction, with funds only for proper main
tenance of roads already completed.
The commissions notion of tax matters is as
crude as its proposal for gasoline tax increase.
1t says it would not place burdens on those not
directly benefited, but it does not tell how it
would avoid it, when the commission knows as
we'll as does everybody else that it is an impos-
sibility to avoid taxing those who derive no bene-
fit whatever from the state highways. When n
tax of three cents a gallon is placed on gaso-
line, the innocent suffer with the guilty. It'is UNI
avoidable and therefore unfair and unjust.

lIooverize the Roads

If any incentive were needed to get behind Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover's plan to drive reck.
less, careless and drunken drivers OF automobiles
from the roads it would seem to be furnished by
the recent accident in which no less than seven
women were cruelty injured in a nearby city by
a driver who is said to have been drunk. The
women were gathered about a church door when
the machine plowed into the crowd with the re
suit stated. Accidents are so numerous, inexcus,
able and exasperating that 1t is impossible for
sane people to look upon them with any allow.
ance whatever, not knowing when they them.
selves may fall before one of these criminal driv.
ers. While the Hoover plan proposes that all
drivers must pass an examination, 1t contem.
plates taking away permanently the license of a
driver who is found driving while drunk.

There Is Hope

Cheyenne has great hopes of bringing her fail.
cd banks back to life and usefulness. Financiers
have been busily engaged for several months upon
the problem with every reason to expect success.
These failures were deplorable from every aspect.
The failures were not viewed as matters of poor
banking, much less dishonest banking, it was
purely and simply a situation of debating every
body else with the banks holding inflated assets.
When those who owed the banks went broke, as
they did, and could therefore not make payment,
as in normal times, the banks were compelled to
surrender. The unfortunate part of the whole
affair was the inconvenient situation of depos-
itors.
II success attends the efforts now in process,
this latter situation may be relieved.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1e.-Some-
thing of the goings on behind the
scenes IS revealed in the resigna-
ton of c. Bascom Slemp, private
secretary to President Coolidge.
Mr.. slemp will be succeeded by
Representative Everett Sanders. OF
Indiana. The situation is rather
unparalleled. Mr.. Coolidge likes
Mr.. slemp. thinks he is one OF the
ablest lieutenants a president could
have and is sorry to see him go.
He could have stayed on indefinitely.
SO far as Calvin Coolidge is con-
cerned.
But Mr.. Slemp is an executive,
an administrator. an active man
with talents sufficient TO run an
executive department. Reputed TO
be more than a millionaire, he has
made a success OF private business.
As for politics. he engineered Mr..
Coolidge's pre-convention campaign.
lined up the delegates from the
southern states particularly, and

and announcements during the
campaign itself. His revolt against
some Of the indiscretions of VII
liam NJ. Butler in handling the "old
guard" at the Republican national
convention. however, was the begin
ming OF the end.
Mr.. slemp had TO repress his feel
lngs and play ball. He did. out
wardly there was harmony. Behind
the scenes there was not. And
when Mr., Coolidge was elected, no
had reason TO be grateful for the
advice Of Mr.. slemp. And then
came rumors that Mr.. Slemp was
about to retire. Published reports
had It that he hoped for a cabinet
portfolio. Mr.. slemp said nothing
publicly.
Mr.. slemp didn't get the cabinet
post and he doesn't blame Mr.. Cool
ige either, for circumstances more

The Texas Guaranty

Reliable information from the leading bankers
OF Texas, Is that they see tho drift toward fail.
ure in their guaranty law. 1t is optional in that
state. One Texas bank alone has paid into the
guaranty fund 10 date tho sum of $4,000. For
t~unetely, n very large cotton crop was raised
IN 1923 and again in 1924. This good fortune SO
greatly improved tho situation that 1t nverted
certain disaster which the guaranty fund could
not have relieved to any apprcclable extent.
1t Is learned from reliable official sources that
the guaranty fund IL being deposited In certain
: banks with the hope that certain banks nigh
survive with this assistance.

REVOLT AGAINST old GUARD
TACTICS OF BUTLER SAID TO
BE BACK OF SLEMP'S RETIRING

or less beyond the control of his
chief are said TO have prevented the
promotion. There is n possibility
that in a year or so Mr.. Slemp will
be rewarded by a cabinet place.
Speaking OF promotion" there
have been men who regarded the
position OF private secretary to the
president as of Infinitely more i'm
portant than a cabinet portfolio. In
the latter. a vieY of only one de.
partment is obtained and the score
tary is hedged in by assistant sec
retaries and lots of red tape. At the
White House, the private secretary
deals for the president with all
executive departments as we'll as

some pfivate secretaries as vastly
more interesting and even more in
iuential than a cabinet job. 1.-THE

Better Take Stock

Eighty per cent of the crimes committed in this
country are by young men or boys between the
ages of sixteen and twenty-five years, and the
very high percentage Of the criminal acts are by
Young men who have had the advantages Of
wealth and education.
The very high percentage Of young girls who go
wrong arc between the ages Of sixteen and eigh.
teen.
Scarcely a newspaper in any part of the coun-
try goes to press without chronicling the fall of
some local girl of tender years by the jazz route.
Maybe parents and guardians have become cal.
lous 10 these things and maybe they don't care;
but it would seem that an awakening is due
somewhere along the line, and a realization of
what is in store for the %oncoming generation. The
fiddler has exacted his pay from all who dance,
from the beginning, and there are no two ways
about it, the rising generation Is contracting
quite a liability.
e Lesson after lesson 10 parents Is spread In the
newspapers, and they remain unmoved. Bright
girls and boys continue to go the route. If they
are not restrained and taught at home, 1t is very
certain they will secure this benefit nowhere else.
Then to the parents of boys and girls must the
blame be charged. They will have to shoulder
up, also, the responsibility for the greater share
of crimes and wrong doing. No one believes, par
ents take any pride in the sins against what used
70 be the conventions, their boys and girls com.
init. It's not in the nature OF things. No parent
but wants good report of his children.
Then what is not understandable in this day,
Is why do not parents take some action for the
good of his own? Why docs not the parent look
into his own family affairs and SEQ that they
arc safe? Has the situation got beyond him, or
has he too surrendered to the demon jazz?
