VOLUME ONE CASPER, WY@., FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1917. WARDLAW MEASURE GREYBULL REFINERY THREE SENATORS FOR NATRONA COUNTY U, 6. MAY SET CLOCK REAPPORTIONMENT The PRORIBITING SUN. WILL BE ENLARGED UNDER PROPOSED MOVIES, DIES: HARD House Committeé of the Whole Reports Bill Back to House With Recommendation It Be Tabled PILOT BILL VOTED DOWN Motion of Representative Sproul That House Bill No. 57 Creating Pilot County Do Pass, Fails To Pass By Majority ote. Special to the Tribune CHEYENNE, Wyo., House Bill 22, the Wardlaw measure designed to prohibit moving picture Jan. shows and other amusements on Sun- 1 is defunct, anti-Sunday pool-hall died hard, but it now is sufficiently a corpse to jus- the conclusion that it will stir no more. The house committee of the whole, as previously related, yester- day morning reported the bill back to the house with a recommendation that it be laid on the table. When, late yesterday afternoon, the commit- tee reported to the house, the author of the measure attempted to have the house adopt the committee report with the exception of that portion re- lating to House Bill 22. The motion to that effect was supplemented by the motion of Representative Sproul of Natrona county that the report of the committee recommending that House Bill 57, the the. creation of Pilot county, do pass, also be expected from the acceptance of the whole re- port. The majority of the house first voted down the Sproul amendment, then with equal, if not greater em- phasis voted down the Wardlaw mo- tion. That was the end of House Bill 22, the most remarkable “blue law” which this legislative session has de- veloped. It now lies on the table and inasmuch as the votes of two-thirds of the members of the house would be necessary to luke it off the table the prospect is that on the table it will remain. Another attempt by Representative Wardlaw to save a bill of which he was the legislative sponsor and which had met with disaster also failed yes- terday afternoon. On the preceding legislative day, which was Monday, House Bill 6, providing for the revok- al of the license of a liquor dealer if he were convicted of a violation of the liquor laws or of a felony came before the house for third reading and final passage. Although the bill, which had been markedly modified by amend- ment since its introduction by Repre- séntative Wardlaw, received a ma- jority of the votes of the representa tives voting upon it, it did not receive a majority of the votes of all of the vision and all. It (Continued on Page Four) Sa te W. D. Waltman, returned last ev- ening from a three weeks’ stay in New York, stopping off at Denver for a few days enroute home. With Mr. Waltman is Lieut. P.

It is expected! that the good roads bill will, have been introduced into the legisla-| ture before then and every effort will be made to convey to the legislators the importance of the passage of the bill, The federal government has appro-| priated approximately $1,000,000 for) good roads in Wyoming during the next five years. This is given on the condition that Wyoming raises an equal amount. To this subsequently) will be added another million or more) doMars, which means that within the) next five years over $3,000,000 will) - be expended for good roads in this state. : Recently the. Wyoming Good Roads association was formed in Cheyenne. Others were elected and an executive committee named.
