MONDAY, - FEBRUARY 10, 191 LEGISLATION. IN GOOD onAPE AS SEGoUNS NEAR. HOME. STRETCH Last of Bills Must Be Introduced Wednesday| and .Others Mark Time in Committee Rooms CHEYENNE, Feb. 10.—(Special.) £ The fifteenth legislature started in this morning on the next to the last week of the session, and from indi- cations the usual congestion of the last week will not be in evidence this time. Bills»of importance are well along, either thru one house or the other, or in committees practically decided upon thru conferences, and everything indicates that the final fall of the gavel will see the work well cleaned up. Wednesday wi!l be the busy day in which bills may be in- troduced, and unless there is a flood of these the session will be able to clean up in good shape. This does not mean that all biils introduced will pass—far from it,, or that all that are passed will be in the shape many would prefer. One of these in danger is the Lee bill for a soldier memorial at the Thermopolis hot springs. This has been roported out in the senate without recom- mendation, which is not at all en- couraging. A bill by Jenkins, provid- ing for memorials in each county of the state, appears to have preference over the Lee measure. The Jenk bill provides $10,000 for the state for cach of the twenty-one counties of the state, the countieS to put up a like sum for such memorial shal! be determined by the county. There are many who favor the Lee idea, in that it would give a much more pretentious monument as well as serve a useful purpose, but naturally each county would li some- th tangible at home, it is fair to presume that the Jenkins measure is likely to be fa- vored. Johnson's bill 114, empowering cities of more than 10,000 to enter into and perform contracts with pub- service individuals, corporations sociations, and giving such cities and contrel over such public service corporations, has been adversely reported by the. judiciary committee, and is likely on this ac- count to go by the ard. Another} Johnson bill, authorizing the employ- ment of an assistant county attorney at a salary of not more than $100 2 month, has been adversely reported by the judiciary committee, and is in danger. The Kelley budget bill has been laid on the table, o for the reason that the Skovgard bill, identical wi it, has passed both houses and is be fore the governor for si gentleman from Big Horn thus ing the honor of fathering a measure expected to save the state a large sum of money. Another bill likely to fall is that of Gardner, providing penalties for removing from private lands sand stone or timber. An adverse report has been made on this, the committee being of the opinion that an owner already has recourse in law for the recovery of damages. Representative Colburn has intro- duced another primary bill, provid that voting at a primary hall consti- tute registration for the general elec- tion foliowing. It is H. B. 122. The fish and game bill, of general interest ali over the state, has now been whipped into about the shape in which it is expected to pass. The ate committee of the whole has much time on this measure, in deavor to harmonize the various view- points. Both senate and house stand- ing committees had hearings on this meagure in an effort to bring in 2 workable and satisfacte manner. The bill as it now stands provides a closed season on sage chickens until the open season of 1922 and on grouse until 1923. The open season ‘on deer has been shortened fifteen days—Nov. 1 to Noy. 15. Amend- ments may be expected from the floor and some may of course be accepted but in a general way with respect to} the sage chicken and grouse pro- isi the m re will stand. ——— COMPULSORY SERVICE IS. ABOLISHED BY CUBANS HAVANA, Cuba.—Obligatory mili- tary service, always bitterly oppose. by the majority of Cuban citizens of all classes and ages, is now a thing of the past in this republic. A bill passed by congress repeals the Military Service law which made military service compulsory on the part of all male citizens of ages 21 to 28, inclusive and does away with th: office of Provost General. The.meas- ure also grants annesty to all Cubans} of military age who fraudulently evaded military service, as well as to their accomplices. : The monthly wage of the lire sol- dier is fixed at $30.

Each of these sections are infused also with the main characteristic of the other seciions, so that all will live and endure as one—the United States of America. So, at one time Roosevelt would reflect and empha- size the culture of the East, again the love of liberty of the West, again the. strength of the Central Valley. But, whichever wes accentuated we knew the other essentials were there, and thus combined, he was at all | times—one—the American! “No wonder that he has been de- scribed both before and after his death by the following expressions from the leading statesmen and edi- tors of our country: ‘Known and ad- mired as standing for all that is most forceful, compelling and at the same time fascinating in the American character.’ ‘Greatest American of his day.’ ‘The most typical Ameri- can.” ‘The most representative American.’ ‘The composite Ameri- can of his day.’ ‘The embodiment of our nation.’ ‘His tense American- TRIBUTE PAD | TO ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page 1) whog ot more real results of the hun.t} There were greater naturalists, arch- eologists and philologists, tho few who conveyed more knowledge of this character to the people.
