Notwithstanding the severe drain for charitable purposes of the past year, the two days’ campaign has crossed the half-way mark here and with some large subscriptions outstanding there is every reason to believe that the full. quota will be obtained.

GOVERNOR CAREY'S se Special to The Tribune : : ee CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 15.—The responsibility and_ opportunity. which the state legislature faces in building for the future, of the commonwealth of Wyoming were emphasized today by Governor. . } Robert D, Carey in his message to the Fifteenth State Legislature, de-,.. livered before a joint session of the house and senate, which.carried the warning that “the amount of development and the progress that we make will depend largely upon the kind of legislation enacted.’’ With a’ first thot’ for the soldiers who gave their lives and service to the nation and the propriety of a memorial offering public expression of the appreciation felt, Governor Carey reviewed the needs of state in the’following complete arid concise message: as . FELEOW CITIZENS OF THE 15th STATE LEGISLATURE: |. | (5 ( It is with much pleasure that I meet you today. .

MESSAGE CALLS ON LEGISLATORS TO MEET OPPORTUNITIES IN BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE STATE the, amount; of development and the progress that we may make will depend largely upon the kind of législation enacted by this, the Fifteenth State Legislature. : Memorial for Those Lost in the War It is most.fortunate that the war in which we were engaged has ended in victory to the United States and her Allies. The citizens of: Wyoming can always point with pride to the fact that our state more than did her, share in everything that' was asked of her in connection with, the war. ,Jt.is hoped that those of our citizens who have taken part in this, struggle. will soon return to Wyoming, snd will again be- come. apart of our industrial population, We must never be forgetful of the sacrifices, made by: those who took part in this war, and should always, be mindful-of the fact that to them ‘and to others of their kind.-we owe a-debt that we can never repay: Some of them can never return: to, usijascthey have given up their lives on the battlefields of France,’ Jt. wouldyseem very fitting that we provide some memorial to the, men, of Wyoming who ,were lost:in this: great conflict so that for: all tame -the:peoplesof, this;State: wili7have a reminder of ‘those who made the supreme sacrifice.

As considerable time will elapse between their landing and their return to Wyoming, we should arrange so that a delegation from this State will not only meet these returning soldiers, but look after their welfare and com- fort. As,time is short, I would suggest that arrangements be made without delay. State Counci] of National Defense At the outbreak of the war with Germany there was created by Act of Congress a Council of National Defense. This Council requested the Governors of the various States to organize State Councils. . In many States, special sessions of the Legislature were called by the governors to pass such legislation as was necessary. The acting gov- - ernor of Wyoming, wisking to avoid the expense of a special session of the Legislature, organized a State Council of Defense, trusting that you would approve of his action. As no money was available, it was necessary to make arrangements with some of the banks to advance funds to carry on the work. You will be asked to appropriate money to repay these banks, and as the work was necessary and was done efficiently, an appropriation should be made without delay. (Continued ‘on Page Six)
