PG A @ CHEYENNE, W VOLUME ONE “SENATE FILE NO. 28 Shortest Bill Provides That the Successor of Governor May | Draw Only Contingent Fund of That Office pe Satis IS AIMED AT SEC. HOUX Only Two Cases in State’s History Where Secretary of State Has Drawn Salary of Two Offices; What Will Houx Do? Jan. 22.—One of the shortest bills introduced in the Wyoming legislature may stir up one of the biggest fusses of the session if it becomes apparent that Senate File 28, introduced by Senator C. H. Sib- ley of Laramie county by request, is aimed at Secretary of State Frank L. Houx, who soon is to become acting governor by virtue of the resignation of Governor John B. Kendrick, who on March 4th will beeome 2 ited States Senator. The bill provides that “whenever there shall be a vacancy in the office of Governor by death, re- signation or otherwise, the Secretary of State, while acting as Governor, shall ‘be entitled to use the contingent funds provided for the office of Gov- ernor and Secretary of State, but shall only be entitled to draw the sa- lary of Governor. This Act shall.take effect and be in force from and after its passage.’” The purpose of the measure is to prevent the secretary of state, while acting as governor, from drawing the salaries of both offices. Senate File 28 now is in the hands of the Ways and M ommittee of the senate, Whether it is the inten- tion that it shall apply to Secretary of State Houx is not yet apparent, but if that be its intention then there undoubtedly is a row ahead, with the prospects, rather favoring the con- clusion that the intention of the bill to the contrary, it will not affect Se- cretary Houx, In the only two cases in Wyoming’s! history as a state jn which the secre-| tar of ctate has acted as governor be- cause of a vacancy in the office of governor the secretary has drawn the salaries of both offices. The two cases in which this was so are those of the late A. W. Barber, who acted as gov- ernor after Francis E. Warren, first governor of the state, had resigned to become United States senator, and Fenimore Chatterton, who acted as governor after the death of Governor DeForest Richards. The question of Chatterton’s right to draw both sal- aries was raised and the. supreme court of the state sustained his right to do so. Senate File 28, if not intended to apply to Secretary Houx, probably will not be obnoxious to very many members of the present legislature. if obnoxious to any members, for it would, in that event, apply only to cases of dual official service coming after the completion of Houx’s ser- vice simultaneodsly as secretary of state and governor. But if there be an intention to have it apply to Houx, then the element of politics will en- wae SGRAP|S PROMISED PACKERSSGOREDBY PEACE FOUNDED ON EQUALITY AND ON CITY IN THE GRIP Former Cabinet Member Says Managers of ‘Monopoly’ Are Ignorant of Eco- nomic Principles CHE NNE, Wyo.,. Jan, 22.— With a vigorous demand for a thoro 29 investigation by the Federal Trade Commission of the market problem and fodd situation in the United States, and an equally vigorous pro- on the part of the stockmen i st the proposed increase of graz- ing fees in the national forest as the outstanding features, the sessions of the twentieth annual convention of \the American National Live Stock As- tsociation in Cheyenne were the mc t notable of any held by the orga zation in recent years. The meeting was electrified in the morning by the emphatic declaration of Walter L, Fisher, former secretary ef the interior in the cabinet of Presi- dent Taft, that the packing industry is a monopoly, controlled by five men who have gained their position by in- heritance, not achievement, and who are in absolute ignorance of the eco- nomic principles that underly their vusi s Following close upon this, the statement of Secretary David A. Houston, giving approval to the rec- ommended probe. ‘oused the enthu- siasm of the delegates. in the afternoon an address by As- sociate Forester A. F. Potter, explain- ing the grazing fee increase from the point of view of the government, fol- lowed by the good-natured, but un- compromising protests of stockmen, furnished a debate that held the close attention of the large gathering. So forceful and eloquent were the pleas of the cattlemen against the increases that Secretary Houston postponed his ture for Washington until Sun- morning. It had been his inten- tion to return Saturday morning, but the attitude of the stockmen made so deep an impression on him that with- out suggestion he decided to held a special heaing to listen to further statements.
