.SORRYS STATE
OF AFFAIRS IS
HERE EVIDENCED

That an executive branch of the
United States government is forced
to dismiss every official on it's pay
roll in order to eradicate corruption
among its personnel can only be look
ed upon as a national scandal, says
the Riverton Chronicle.
This is What is about to happen in
the prohibition enforcement organiza-
tion of the Treasury department. all
officials of which have been notified
by General Andrews, the new enforce
ment chief. that their services will
not be required after October Is.
While this does not mean that all
OF the officials concerned are corrupt.
It does signify that the situation is so
bad hat this drastic action Is neces-
sary in order to correct it.. 1t is said.
however. hat some of the force who
have good records will be reinstated
after the reorganization is gotten un-
der way.
Naturally. enemies of the Volstead
act point to the breaking down of the
enforcement machinery as proof that
enforcement is impossible. Friends
o prohibition blame the present situ-
alton on the fact that officials have
Ueen selected as a result OF political
influence, without regard to fitness of
the appointees. As to these differ
ing views, each must draw his own
conclusions.
The fact remains that q sorry mess
mas been made OF enforcement 80 far
and II General Andrews can create an
affective and trustworthy ~organiza-
ton he will have an outstanding ac-
-complishmept to his record.

many farmers in oil regions are mix
ing oil and agriculture. quite effec-

An oil field attracts thousands of
people, all of whom have to be fed.
Diversified farming follows. There
are numerous instances where whole
counties have been transformed af-
ter the discovery of oil into prosper.
Gus farming communities as well as
prosperous towns and cities.
Take Eastland county, Texas. as
an example. and there are many
others like it. Before the discovery
of oil there, some years ago, there
was very little attempt at farming.
The rolling lands which constitute
the bulk of it's territory, were given
over to hapkazard ranching.
The discovery of oil changed the
army of small agricultural producers
who saw an opportunity to sell
poultry, and eggs, milk, cream and
butter, Vegetables and fruit, hay.

ducts on a cash market.
Prosperous agricultural conditions
depend upon prosperous industrial
conditions and vice versa. Farmers
and manufacturers should pull to-

amazing that in spite of warnings,
so many people on this side fall for

financial assistance to obtain his re-
lease and for the protection If his

In return for assistance the pris-
oner promises the prospective victim
n part of a large sun of money which
is hidden in Spain. The letter asks
that the recipient cable reply. but
the address given is a post office box

his identity by calling for the cables,
but the Spanish government publish

TAKING POSTNIASTERS
OUT OF POLITICS

Trying to improve the potal err
vice. the United States Chamber of
Commerce suggests taking postmas-
terships entirely u of politics,
transforming them into positions that
employees farther down the line can
work up to by degrees.
a small mail carrier, for example,
could get to be a postmaster in time.
Or "A good postmaster in a small town
could be transferred to a more i'm
portant postmastership, at higher
pay There is no particular reason
why n of a postmaster's qualifica-
tons should be a long previous resi-
dence in the town he is to serve in.
The chamber thinks such an ar
"rangement would open the way for
careers" in the postal service and
make it a lot more attractive to high
class men and

Rawlins is on another main line that of the Aerial
Mail Service, which has in the past few years been brought
to a point of efficiency that approaches perfection. Day and
night these intrepid air riders pass to and fro above the city,
bearing the United States Mail, from New York to San Fran
cisco, undaunted by wind, hail, snow or blizzard. Rawlins
landing field, which was build by funds raised among local
men and women and presented to the government, is one of
the best on the entire route.
