The basis is the opposition of The Tribune to cer- tain legislation in which the Governor is inter- ested and favors. It would make no particle of differencec who happened to favor the legislation in question, Governor Carey or our next-door neighbor and life-long friend, if the legislation was deemed unfit to become Jaw and was not in the interest of the people and supported by them, we would consider the day’s. wosk unfinished unless we opposed it for what seemed to-us to be proper and sufficient reasos. We grant the Governor the same privilege we take and are certain he is big enough and broad enough to differ honestly, and permit the differ- ence to cast no shadow upon a pleasant friendship that both should desire continued. If, however, he does not take this view, as some of his friends, who assume to speak for him, intimate, then we don’t want his friendship. Reference, in a Cheyenne publication, to the fact that Governor Carey was solicited, along with many other prominent men of the State, to make an investment in the bonds of The Tribune Build- ing some time since, and his declination, was the animus of the Tribune’s opposition to measures fa- yored by the Governor. Such stuff is small town and unworthy even’ of Cheyenne. If Governor Carey was approached to subscribe for bonds, it was purely a business matter. He could subscribe ‘or not, as he pleased, Others than Governor Carey declined. Still others came arid asked the privilege of investing. We have heard of no re- grets on the part of these who invested, and those who declined, we hope, are still our friends, We are sure we do not recall who they are, and would have forgotten Governor Carey's case unless re- minded by the kindly disposed spokesman at Cheyenne. re POSSIBLE UNDER PRESENT LAWS The Sheridan Post takes a very sane view of the legislative proposal to create a lot of addj- tional and unnecessary machinery te enforce State laws. The Post is of the opinion that there is am- ple authority in existence, but it needs support; and suggests as a cure for the complaints entered by the promoters of a State police or constabulary that if a Sheriff or other peace officer is found lax in his duty or unworthy of the office he holds, that elected him and positive assurance that what he is being asked to do is also being asked in other counties. ‘Funds are always available for the em- ployment of men to make investigations as to whether each officer is doing his duty, and let the ax fall, when it is found that the law is not being enforced. + +0 “LET WASHINGTON DO IT” Writing upon a national question of public pol- icy, the Chicago Tribune applies the same prin- ciple that we haye urged, that the Legislature of Wyoming should apply in reference ‘to the state police measure before it. In both federal and state governments the ten- dency is to oyer-governmemnt. . An inclination to withhold trust in the people and the established institutions and instrumentalities which they haye set up to guide and control their affairs, It is all too frequent that Congress and more especially State legislatures, seek to direct the people thru the medium of a law to the end that some particular member or leader may secure thereby personal prestige; wiih no particular thought given to the status of popular opinion. Without a favorable popular opinion no law can be successfully ‘enforced, for upon it is all law is basel. » It would be far more advantageous to the State, the nation and the people if lawmakers would re- member the simple and elemental things in goy- ernment and governing and shape their efforts to conform, The Tribune's article follows: “The Federal trade commission has been inyes- tigating marketing problems of the country and now proposes federal action. That might have been predicted. Let any federal! body tackle any problem, from the vending of garden sass to the enforcement of the ten commandments, and it will propeze a federal cure. “The federal trade commission wants federal markets in all the great distributing centers and a federal licensing system with federal regulation. The commission holds that state and municipal authorities lack adequate power to regulate the handling of food supplies, and, the state and local authorities in co-operation with railroads might accomplish the ends sought, the commission be- lieves this plan does not holdout mucch hope for a satisfactory solution of the problem. “Baybe so. But wouldn’t it be worth while to give it a trial before adding more complicated du- ties to the tremendous tasks of the central goy- ernment? HEADQUARTERS. Announcements for Scout Week, Scout week is from Febwuary 8 to February 13. It commemorates the eleventh an- niversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.

At the High School Gym. school Arrangements have been made for the Scouts to use the gymnasium four evenings of next week while the Cas- per high school basketball team is playing out of town games, All troops will haye an opportunity to make use of the gym at least onv evening during the week, and in sev- eral insurance inter-troop vaskethall games will hold the boards. All Scouts are warned that they must use rubber soled shoes on the “Power seeks more power, About every’ fed- eral agency is pressing on all possible occasions for an expansion of its own functions and an in- crease of its powers, Impatient reformers, with eager eyes for evils to be cured and vision extend- ing to the end of their noses, are always running te Washington to get their particular plaster pasted on the body politic, It’s spectacular and comparatively simple. Meantime, there is no organized resistance in the interest of local. ini- tiative, local authority, local autonomy. “The result of thistendency will, of course, be the complete ruin of our American system of bal- anced central and local functions. It will be the growth of a central machine so complex and pon- drous as to be not only inefficient, but paralyzing. Political power will mass about it. Bureaucracy will fossilize government. Federal regulation will spread into all activities and dominate them wherever possible. Even in a comparatively small country, like France, centralization has been an evil of first rank. In this great country it would be worse than the plagues of Egypt. “Every proposal for an increase in Federal functions and federal power should be compelled to establish at least a strong prima facie case for adequacy of alternatives has been demonstrated. itself. Jt should never be accepted until the in- The view point of the trade commission is not this, It virtually assumes the failure of local au- he be removed thru the process already provided by law, The Post deems the subject of prime impor- tance and gives prominence to its views upon its first page. Its opinion is expressed in the follow- lexi: “If the Post were granted final say as.to dis- posal of measures intended to create law enforce- ment commission or state constabulary by the Wy- oming legislature at this hak it would suggest that all bills pertaining to this subject be with- drawn, and that instructions go out to all peace of- ficers in the State to do their duty in the enforce- ment of the State statutes as to law and order, under penalty of impeachment, in event of their failure to do so. All these officers want is a change in the precedent which has been estab- lished during years past, which affords them in- secure protection when they do their duty. There are those close friends always ready to suggest that similar infractions of the law, such as are be- ing criticized in one county, predominate in an- county, and that it would be an injustice to those at home to enforce a law which is disre- garded in enother county. “Let a few of those officers be removed who positively refuse to do their duty after having been prompted by higher executive powers and it would haye the proper effect on other officers. If it once becomes positively known that the officer who neglects to do his duty will be removed from office, there will be no longer any need to wrangle over the question of law enforcement. “The Post believes that every Sheriff in Wyo- ming wants to do his duty and enforce the law, but first he wants the moral support of those who thority and proposes to go direct to federal regu- lation. This is the easy short cut which theoretic reformers like. We have yet to find one who has any respect for American principles of govern- ment or any regard for the preservation of the system of balance founded by the wise men who made the constitution.” 0. “SAVING THE WHIPCORD” We have all smiled at the idiosyncrasy of the banker who saved all the incoming envelopes and had the messenger boys put in their spare time slitting the envelopes open so that the backs could be used for computation purposes by the bank clerks. We have also looked with mild amuse- ment upon the shop keeper who carefully drew and saved the nails from the packing box lids and the other fellow who saved the wrapping twine. It has been with passive toleration and at times compassion that we yiewed the practice of small economies, yet the application of the principle of economy to all of the affairs of life have made for success while waste and extravagance have brought the sheriff and the receiver. Thrift is no disgrace, rather-is the unacquaint- ance with it a disgrace, while despising small things should be made a crime by statute, pee PC de AD It is suggested by the Cincinnati Enquirer, that the famous slow delivery of Mr. Al Burleson might qualify him as a star pitcher in one of the big leagues, when he retires on March 4th.
