County Division, Good Roads and Blue Sky Law to Eat Up Time, But Soldier Settlement Will Be In- cluded in Mass of Constructive Work ie Special to The Tribune < (CHEYENNE, Jan. 11.—Soldier settlement including a re- vival of the state immigration bureau or some similar plan for the proper exploitation of Wyoming resources, good roads, blue sky, primary, prohibition, education, eight hours and county division legislation tive session convening here on mentioned in the order of their im- portance according to lobby gossip, it is certain that this order wil! not be followed in the amount of time consumed in debate or first-page headlines in the papers. Rivalry in these respects will lie between county division, good roads and the blue sky law, from present appearances: Of vital interest to the state will be the attitude of solons on the ex- ploitation of its resources and oppor- tunities, and in co-operating with the federal government in the proposed soldier settlement work. The federal plan offers two schemes for this work. | In one the government furnishes the land and the state is to make loans| to settlers for improvements and! stock, and the state looks after secur- ing the settlers; in the other the state provides the land and the federal gov- ernment will finance the settler and attend to colwnization matters. The former plan finds most favor in the west, and the latter in the south where there are no public lands and swamp and eutover lands may be had for a song. Wyoming will probably let Uncle Sam provide the land, and the state will finance and secure the settlers. In this connec- tion the revival of the state immigra- tion bureau, or similar means for properly: exploiting the state’s re- sources and attracting settlement, be- comes imperative. It is understood | Gov. Carey is considering a plan to co-ordinate the work in order to, secure the best results from the least outlay. a | The road question will be a diffi- cult one. Everybody is for road building and road improvement, but there are so many plans proposed that he will indeed be a fortunate solon who can present a measure on which even a majority can unite. It appears a foregone conclusion that a large bond issue will be voted for roads, The governor’s enthusiasm for better and more highways is well known, and he will no doubt strongly every day. present the matter in his message Tuesday. The state highway com- mission naturally wants to spend this money, and the county commission- | ers feel they should have something to say about expenditures in their own counties—and the proper bal- ance of authority between these two forces, with the details as to how ner road monies are to’ be raised. will cause no end of talk. In this connection the plan to tax autos by weight, the machines to be taken off all tax rolls and the levy collected and expended by. the state | highway com ion, is causing trouble, The larger cities are op- posed to the plan, on the theory that they contribute most of the funds and would get the least benefit from the fact that the state could not im- prove city streets. In lieu of a per pound tax, which has been generally set at a cent, it has been suggested that a fairer way would be to grade the tax on the horsepower of the car. The blue sky law will come in for, much discussion. Everybody recog- nizes its necessity, but hardly any- body can find entire agreement with | anybody else on where to draw the line. It is recognized that a blue sky law like that of California would very greatly hinder development in Wyoming where a too liberal lew} would permit the irresponsible ped-| dler of beautifully engraved certifi- | cates with no thot of actual develop- | ment to give the state a black eye. | “We want to in every way en- courage development in Wyoming,” ; ‘far women are headliners for the legisla- ‘Tuesday. While the above are ‘of. The closing date will be July 1st to conform to the federal closing law. The Anti-Saloon League fav- ors this date, and as saloons must close at that time under the federal law, the west cannot oppose it. A few will urge earlier closing dates, but it is not thot with success. Whether the state shall abolish the office of state superintendent of pub- lic instruction, to place all school matters in the hands of the educa- tional board, is doubtful. This course has been urged by the retiring sup- erintendent, but thus far it has not been received with great enthusiasm outside of those directly interested in such a change, County division will occupy the! front page for some time, according to present indications, and may be} expected to furnish jobs for more pussyfooters and buttonholers than | | any other proposed legislation.

Those | were the days when “straight as the crow flies” was a mere figure of | speech; but now the journey to Paris is being made that way every day. Parisians are becoming to Londoners just next--door neighbors, and Mr. Smith of 1919 will say to himself, “T think I’ll just drop in on Alphonse in Paris for lunch.” It won’t take him | any longer to see Alphonse than it) would to drop in and see his wife in their little surburban home. | A similar idea occurred to Fred H. | Lawton, of the American Y. M..C. A. | While London was rejoicing over the signing of the armistice the American conceived the idea of showing the Yanks and compatriots in Paris just what form these rejoicings took. So a movie of the London crowds was| taken. With this Lawton left Engl.and at 12:30 p. m. and arrived in Paris in time for luncheon. The flight was made in a big Handley-Page airplane and from. start to finish took only 35 minutes. That night the Parisian armisticers were able to see on the screen the | antics of their friends in London, with; whom they were united in a commonj{ rejoicing. MANY ENGLISH | had been killed. Seventy rebels are said to have fallen. The same day a band of outlaws under Marcelo Caraveo attacked Jal- apa, former capital of the state of Vera Cruz, but were driven off.

ALLIED MORAL PROGRESS OFFSETS MATERIAL GRIN OF JAPS IN WORLD WAR TOKIO.—Baron Takahashi, Ja. pan’s finance minister recently warn- ed the members of the Japan Trade association, that they should pay closo attention to the fact that while Ja- pan had gained material prosperity from the war, the other Allies had gained moral prosperity. It was not improbable that the Allied peoples} by. their sufferings and _privations had more than offset their material losses by their moral progress. Japan, said the minister, had placea her goods abroad largely because for. eign customers could not get whav they wanted from other countries There had been complaints of the quality of goods exported from Japan, and everything should be done to keep up the standard. that individual activity in trade and industries should be systematically trained and organized. $< —___- Death is no respector of person why, not be prepared financially as well as spiritually.

Jailer Mc- Kenzie finds it necessary to keep a close watch over his charges to pre- vent a possible jail break. Commissioners Veitch and Griffith inspected the jail this morning with the view of offering some relief, but expressed the belief that as soon as prohibition went into effect the popu- lation of the jail would be materially decreased and were, therefore, reluc- tant to spend the county’s money for jail improvements until it is ascer- tained what effect the dry laws would have on evildoers. Already the criminal docket for the March term of court will be the larg- est on record, and is continuing to increase at a rapid rate. HONORS AMERICANS (By United SS) PARIS, Dec. 15. (By Mail.) —Paul Andre, first president of the Paris court of appeal, expresses his senti- ments on liberation of Alsace-Loi raine thus: “A Lorrainer from the annexed regions, the son of a Moselle deputy who, appealing to Right against its violation, signed the famous protest of 1871, I have all my life long, felt patriots on the other side of the fron- tier, the painful and odious character of the barbaric deed, which had hand. ed us over, liké so much booty, to a pitiless enemy. “All honour to the noble Americar. people, to whom Alsatians and Lor- rainers owe it to have at last seen the unregarded claims of justice and triumph over the arrogant tyran ny of brutal force.” — FESTIVITIES BANNED (By United Press) PIERRE, 8. D., Jan. 7-—South Da- kota this year abolished all festivities in connection with the inauguration of stage officials, who at noon toda, took their oaths at the capitol. The oaths were administered by a justice of the supreme court. Gov. Peter J. Norbeck immediately deliv- ered his annual message to the legis- lature and, in lieu of an inaugural so- cial affair, officials kept open house in their respective offices.
