And why ‘should they select a federal judge as umpire? 'Was ‘it because they wanted to tell’ the-people ‘We are not an unlawful trust because Judge Landis is at our head?’ Was it be- cause these baseball magnates wanted to create a favorable sentiment with the hope the supreme court of the District of Columbia would be re- versed?” In this connection Mr, Welty read a letter from Chicago, the name of the writer withheld, quoting a base- ball magnate as saying that Judge Landis as a lawyer meant nothing to organized baseball, but that Judge Landis as a federal judge “was worth any price he might wish to ask.’" “If that was the intent,” Mr. Welty declared, ‘‘does the act not bring it within the law of bribery? If he mag- nates who were fined are permitted to employ Judge Landis, what would prevent the indicted players employ- ing him?" “Judge Landis has a right to yield to the fleshpots of illegal combina- tion,” said Mr. Welty, ‘but he should not bring all our judiciary into ili-re- put. If the country approves the dual role of Judge Landis, then the House will be called upon to preserve a new standard for our judiciary because there are others who would be pleas ed to employ some judge ‘for he is worth any price he might wish to ask.’ “But I do not believe that the Am- erican soul is so dead as to permit any of us to escape our duties in this matter.” | Wate Ss PUPILS GET MEDAL.

Eventually the senate receded from its amendments to the latter, which had materially increased its total, and also accepted the house amendment to Senate ,36 a 275, Wyoming Compiled Statutes 1920, the law prohibiting the use of natural gas in the manufacture of ‘carbon. black unless advantage also were taken of the heat-giving potentiality of the gas. The result of the long/ani er fight over the latter bill was called a “compromise” but it is not- able to observe that the’carbon black manufacturing interests secured’ the. primary purpose of ‘their legislative activity—repeal of a statute outlawing their industry and which had been ‘pheld by the supreme court of fhe United States. E “ek The Kabell-Oviatt _conyentiori-0' tional primary bill died on the’ gen- eral file of the lower house. Its pro- ponents sought long and determinsi- ly to push-it through the committes of the whole house and place it in po- sition to be passed or rejected by ya: record vote but Were unsuccessful, For a time it seemed that the: :hill, authorizing sale of the state hospitals | would share the fate of the nomina. tion bill but the aggressive Sheridan delegation finally got it out of the committee of the whole house apd it was put through second and third readings long after midnight. The state bond election bill went through virtually without opposition, only one member of the lower house voting against it. The salary increase bill provides that the governor shall receive $6,0¢0 annually and’ each of the other elec- tive state officials $4,000 annually, increases the salaries of the stata engineer and state commissioner of puble lands from $3600 a year to $4,- 800; increases the salary of the at- torney general from $4,000 a year to $4,800; increases the salary of the state commissioner of education from $3000 a year to $4,800; and provides numerous salary increases for minor appointive officials. The house 4nd senate deadlock came over the refusal of the house to approve senate amend- ments increasing the governor's sal- ary to $8,000, the salaries of the gov- ernor’s secretary and the deputy sec- retary of state from $2,400 a year re- spectively to $3,000 respectively, and several other amendments em increases not in the bill as it nasred the house. The measure as fii dly en- acted increases tHe perdiem of mern- bers of the legislature from $8 to $12. Senator Simon Skovgard of Big Horn county was elected president ad interim of the senate, an honor which gives him a gubernatorial potential- ity inasmuch as the president ad in- terim is second in the line of ,succes- sion to the governorship, becoming acting governor in the event of death resignation or disability of the gover- nor and the secretary of state.
