It is feared that the statesmen, intent upon | choking the legislative hopper at Cheyenne, will | fall short of the good sense with which they were | credited at the opening of the session, if they per- | sist in confining all, or nearly all of their law-mak ing efforts to the one subject—Wyoming’s chie' product, oil. . It is understood that a few additions to the | statutes, likely some few amendments, would be | for the good of the industry, but no one believes in the necessity of passing laws upon every con- ceivable feature. and phase of the discovery, pro- | duction, refining and distribution of oil and its | by-products. Oil is still a comparatively infant industry in } Wyoming. What it needs most is to be let alone | and given an opportunity to develop. Laws that | hamper and regulate, especially, unjustly, are in | ho sense encouraging to further development. | The scout and geologist who go out into the far reaches of the sage brush, discover a dome, induce men of enterprise. to sink a well and dis- | cover oil or gas have dona a mighty good day’s | work for Wyoming. The pipe line concern which ; brings the crude product to the refinery and the | refiner who turns the raw product into the vari-.| ous finished articles of necessity, have done another | great day's work. All have contributed to the wealth, growth and importance of the state. | The prime object should be to encourage all of | these potential forces of wealth and upbuilding. | Let the laws with reference to them be few and | wise. : The state and federal governments are safe- guarded by proper statutes and are secure ‘as con- cerns the land from whence the riches in dil flow. | It would be well to take a leaf from the book of | experience f the recent past with reference to the railroads, the great pioneer force of civilization | and empire. When the wave of regulation of them | had spent its force and passenger fares and freight rates and the many minor requirements all nicely adjusted to gratify state legislatures, the transpor- | tation liges of ‘the country were without revenues to sustain themselves and receiverships became fashionable. ) The oil industry in Wyoming is the principal one, It*should be dealt with fairly, honorably and justly.

Democrats now | squirming ought to be thankful that this-is not a | resolution of censure. In all history there has been no example like the secretary of war's contempt and | violation of the people's will as expressed by con- | gress.” | Of course, Mr. Mondell was very mild and very | gentlemanly in his language considering the provo- cation and the amount of strong language just IMMIGRATION AND LABOR. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American | Federation of Labor, recently declared to the sen- ate committee on immigration that his organization | objected “to throwing the doors wide open, flooding the American labor market with cheap European | labor and denying the American worker the same protection you give his products under the tariff | f laws.” * Incidentally, if there is an “American labor market,” what becomes of the declaration of the federation that “labor is not a commodity ?” The secretary of the federation is partly right and partly wrong in his view of the immigration questiqn. There is a decided difference between the free admission of the products of foreign labor and theainrestricted immigration of the labor itself. The first is destructive of American industries with no compensating features of a permanent character the merit of developing and extending industries here. It is better to have the goods produced here by foreign labor than to have them produced |} . k abroad by foreign labor and dumped here at! k prices which put the American industries out of | business. Again, the foreign laborers who are paid here, spend a portion of their wages here. } Moreover, it is highly probable that, the equa- nimity with which the present immigration wave is viewed by some, if not actually encouraged by oth- ers, of our producers is due largely to the vicious methods adopted by Mr. Gompers, and other labor “leaders, in their attempt to destroy legitimate in- dustry. Contractual obligations have been repu- diated, inefficiency has been insisted upos, boy- and the government has been coerced. By their own acts these leaders have belittled the human equation in labor and made it a commodity for which many producers find themselves compelled to scour Europe. j On the other hand, there is no denying the fact | that unless some effective measures’ of restriction | are enacted the alien hordes of undesirables which | will-pour into this country will seriously undermine the high living standards of the American working- | men. The digestive apparatus'of this nation has | long been taxed to its utmost to assimilate its im- | migrants. If some system of dietary is not soon prescribed we may well fear the torments of politi- cal dyspepsia due to clashing racial mixtures, and ultimately a stroke of anarchistic apoplexy. Two suggestions tiave been offered with respect to proposed immigration legislation, in addition’ to the percentage of basis submitted by Senator Dj lingham. One is that the number of immigrants permitted to enter from any particular country be governed so far as possible by the percentage of that element of immigration which over a period of, say, the five years immediately preceding the war sought to be naturalized, the number to be reg- ulated at the termination of each five or ten year period. Government statistics should be available for such solution. Another suggestion is to com- pel cach immigrant to hold a license costing, say, $12 annually so long as he is not naturalized, with- out which he could not be employed. © This would provide a source of federal revenue and subject the i rant to taxation which he now escapes If it is worth coming here to work, it is worth pay- ing for the privilege, and those races which take no interest in this country other than to receive high wages and then return should be penalized | for th et Americ FRESH a re Se ee stitutions MANAGER BILL Chamber of Commerce Secretary Brings Back Favorable Re- Charies B, Stafford, secretary “of the! jaan bills provide that the commission- Chamber 0} yesterday where he has. been doing missionery | ers. receive compensation. mission-manager form. of governn |with the senators and representat! jof the state. |were glad to get information relativ | ject of economy, knowing the stupendous costs of }to_the advantage .of the | the expiring administration, with its story of graft ass | and loot in every department, the settlement of ERIE RIE Z MEEK ALLA IAI AMINA IA AA NAIL ANAS AN AANA A ASNAN SN AAA WANA NANG <2 ATM form of government and of: jj fered ne-opposition. . i] sentative Story of Sheridan and auth: orizet cities of 1,000 or more to‘adontt this ‘orm of government, Most of the | men who M.
