Hote Picmiec Votes F Mais * ‘Re CONSTABULARY MODELED ON CANADIAN POLICE PROPOSED AWARD OF LAND TO SOLDIERS 15 FAVORED PLAN Suggestion of Governor Carey for} Meeting Bonus Problem Meets With Approval on Part of Legislators (By a Staff Correspondent) CHEYENNE, Jan, 15.—Governor Robert D. Carey's plan of advocating public land awards as a means of pay- ing tribute to heroes of the world war is rapidly gaining favor among the Senators’ and representatives gathered here for the Sixteenth Legislative ses- sion. War veterans attending Legisla- ture at first Were inclined to resent the attitude of the chief executive on the bonus problem, but after more deliber- ate consideration agree with the state- ments made by the Governor in his message to the soluns. Several of the war veterans inter- ested ia the. bonus for the American fighters assert that the award of pub- lic lands would not only benefit the men, but would also result in a gi- gBantic expansion thruout the nation, insisting that a cash bonus would soon ‘be spent, while the possession or lana is likely to interest the former ‘soldiers and sailors in| booming the nation's production, ‘ Supporters of the chief <¢xecutive’s plan also point out that all sorts of! Jand is ayasilable for government dis- tribution, much of it containing valu- able deposits of coal, possibilities of oil Production, and in many. cases excel- lent chances. of huge mineral output. Thousands of other acres of excellent farm land is also available for the fight- ers who would prefer to till the soil, According to thé legislators any of these plans would be productive of bet- ter citizenship, would provide the men with greater wealth than possible un- der any cash bonus plan, and would stimGlate ‘an era of production un- equaled in the history of the nation. In | Commission and men with the police powers of the Gov. Robert H. Carey's plea for a admission that disregard for the state laws is general and the publication of | statements in The Casper Tribune | showing that Wyoming fs losing a gi- | gantic fortune through the failure of officials to enforce the laws. Supporters of the constabulury. jan assert the abolishment of the four: big political offices would make more than | $21,000 available for the creation of the constabulary, which would not only per- form efficiently duties of the abolished offiées, but which would also bring to an end the huge drain on the state finances, ‘In sharp contrast to the gov_ ernor’s plan, ‘they contend, the con- stabulary would be out of political i fluence with the possible head of the or- ganization, A division of law enforcement, the legislators assert, with numerous in- Spectors and deputies, would be open to political influence, and as a conse: quence useless in fighting ® chaotic gondition, admitted purely political, or a situation in which friendship for of, fenders’ plays a “promment part. sy The constabulary, ‘they assert, could be moved about in civilian clothes so fre- quently that it would be impossible for the membets to become influenced through either friendship or graft. And because of their powers, it is pointed out, the offenders against the various laws of the state would be more liable to detection and subsequent arrest. According to the present plan of operation the organization of fearless fighting men { would be _ scattered | throughout the state, with at least one man to every county, working in auto- Mobile or astride a horse, according to the nature of the country in which he is doing duty. "The head of the organi- zation Would be a state appointee, but the remaining men of the force would be recruited on the same plan as used by the Canadian government in getting together the mounted men who patrol the meantime, while the question is be- ing debated, legislative leaders are en- deavoring to obtain the opinion of the men SOD SERDGR, Retores ACG before action.

In urging the ‘abolishment of the na- tional guard the legislators declare the organization is costing the state on an average of $35,000 yearly with little duty performed. In the event of war, jit is declared, the government would |have little use for the national guard, and would do as it did in the recent war—envoke the draft law. Regarding the office of the game war- den the legislators had little or no com- plaint to make on the performance of duties in this office, but assert that the |$50,000, the average yearly cost of the |department,' the majority of which is jalmost covered by fishing and hunting licenses, could be used to a greater ad- vantage, with the. same results ob_ tained, in bringing about the collec- tion of moneys now being lost to the state, Prohjbition officers, however, are not let down so lightly.

CHEYENNE, Jan. 15.—A hard-fighting organization of Wyoming | Canadian Northwest Mounted Po- ; lice to replace the national guard, fish and game commissions and pro- |Money Due fo Servi hibition officers’ is the plan being formed by legislators in answer to | division of law enforcement. The| lature as a basis for the statement that | should the department be continued more than $50,000 yearly will be neces-| sary for its operation. Adding the cost of the trio of depart- i ments togethey the legislators get a| total of about $121,000 being spent by the state. The cost of operating the | constabulary, they assert, even when | conducted with a force of men that would permit a man with each county, and an additional dozen men for spé_ | cial duties, would not. reach this’ amount. And as a still further attrac-} tion for the passage of a bill: along these lines, they assert the creation of the constabulary would mean the col- lection of moneys now lost to the state, | fines from prosecutions—in all a sum | colossal. Still another plan is being discussed by another group of legislators as a means of bringing about better | law enforcement. This is the adoption of the} state-wide detective squad as used in No_ braskay, This plan, however, is. not like- | iy to gain-mueh-headw/ inasmuch as the legislators believe the people of the state would be opposed io a plan of having a score of detectives watch their movements. Then the detective plan would be likely to prove“expensive and the legislators of this session of law | making are bent on an economical re_ gime for the state. This idea alone has won many of the legislators to the plan for a constabu- lary. The fact that its creation can| be accomplished without increasing state expenses one penify, even if the highest rate in compensation is paid has been-a mighty factor in its favor. | The solons also believe the plan would!
