At the conclusion of his address Mr. Kneebone will welcome constructive criticism of the work that has been handled by the chamber of commerce or of its plans for the future. A great many members of tho or- ganization have failed to send jir sug: gestions for the forum program which is being arranged for the corning year. Questionnaires have been mailed to all members and only a small percentage has replied. In arranging to carry out the things which the citizens of Casper want done the forum commit- tee must have the suggestions of the menibers.

All property and other holdings of the person so assessed can be taxed to insure pay-! ment of the ponalty. The procedure in establishing the} base of assessment is finding a per- son guilty of unlawfully, selling, making or transporting the contra- band. As soon as information is re- |eceived of such conviction by the gov- ernment authorities, a notice of as- sessment is immediately sent to the {convicted party and a penalty of 10} |per cent is attached if the payment {is not made on a stipulated date, The common procedure is for the pe the summons. ance of a distraint warrant from |which there is no relief prior to pay- ling the money. After the tax is paid, which in lreality ts a license for the manufac- ture and sale of an illicit beverage, the person so held may sue the gov- ernment for the return of the money. This long drawn out and costly pro- cedure in most cases puts an unbear- able burden cn tho person assessed, hence no action is taken after the original payment. The government man {s busy today serving the warrants and from re- ports made here he {s receiving much opposition from the people who aro being served, who claim that such ac- tion by the’ government is rank in- Justice, | ag 92,000 15 mank IN CASPER TAG DAY ACTIVITIES Over $1,700 Already Reported and Many Pledges Outstand- ing for Benefit of Orphans y. ns With over $1,700 already reported and with other pledges out that may swell the fund to the $2,000 mark, the “have a heart and help a child find a home” tag day plea brought immediate response in Casper Sat- urday.

Friends of Trish freedom throughout the United States have heard the tales of suffe: ing and horrors of privation which the people are facing without chance of relief and are doing their utmost to provide relief. Carrying on, the Natrona county chapter of the American commission for relief of Ireland has taken up the plea and with strident efforts is en- deavoring to swell the fund which will take care of the women and chil- dren tn the torn and mangled country. “The coming year in Ireland will be hard. The men can get on, the ‘Women can stand the suffering, but it is for the children I plead. We must have help this year.” that ts the humanitarian pied in which Mary MacSwiney, sounded the keynote of the conditions in Ireland. This plea has been taken up and echoed and re-echoed until every heart that holds sympathy for Ireland has taken up the plaint and quietly but surely is rushing his utmost to the assistance of the stricken country. Scores of friends of Irish freedom turned out to a meeting which was held at the Mullin club Wednesday night when the base was laid for the plan through which Natrona chunty will contribute its share toward re- liet of the children of Irish people. Tuesday night is the date set for the dinner which will be served at the Mullin club fi which a fund will be raised to represent Natrona coun- ty's offering toward the rellef of the afflicted people. ‘With selfish interests set aside and Political lines obliterated by the hu- manitarian task which will be accom- Plished from the funds raised at the ‘Tuesday night dinner hundreds of Cas- Perites are expected to task the capu- city of the Mullin club to attend the dinner which will be served by wom- en friends of Irish freedom at $25 per Plate. In many sections of the country the same plan has been followed out In those places, however, the price of the dinner, and it was a frugal mea! ranged from $100 to $1,000 a plate. Great sums of money have beon raised in this manner. In order to permit a more genera! expression of sympathy for Iretand the price was fixed at $25, which is within the means of hun¢reds of Cas: Perites whose family! ties and nation- ality hold deep interest in’ the plight of Ireland. The dinner, which is being prepared is elaborate. Hminent speakers will address the diners. Musical programs in which the folk songs and historic music of Ireland will be featured is being arranged under the direction of Jack Leary, who is assisted by 5. J. Donohue, Ray Holoran and = Mrs. William Treber. Solicitation for funds in behalf. of the Irish cause has been quietly pro- &ressing here and has met with won- derful results. Upon the return of Patrick Sullivan from his recént cast: ern trip, the fund was swelled consid- erably by his liberal donation. The solicitation work will be suspended until after Tuesday night's affair at which every person who has the in- terests of a shattered nation at heart will attend. ¥ An active committee to arrange for jthe affair was appointed and com prises the following club members: Hon.

STATE FRAMERS VICTIMS OF Bl STOCK SWINDLE PINE BLUFFS, Wyo. April 11.— The arrest of James L. Hand and Mont Flint, on Colorado federal war- rants charging fraudulent sale of the stock of the Tractor & Implement company, has brought to light infor- mation that 60 farmers of the Pine Bluffs district were victimized with stock of this concern, each purchi ng four shares at $26 a share.

Stafford, Seo'y Mgr., Casper Chamber of Commerce, Casper, Wyo. My Dear Sir: I have your letter of March 1 asking for an expression from us about our experience with the city manager form of goveriment, Dayton is one of the outsanding examples of the successful opera- tion of the city manager form of government, although Norfolk, Wa., and Springfield, O., have an excel- lent record, and Akron, O., is now working under the system. The city manager form has caused a better; class of people, who were formerly excluded from extensive contact with the city headquarters, to be available and to attain a higher standard of aims and achievements in municipal affairs. The standard of fine clean non- partisan service has been estab- lished and well maintained. You understand that our commission has always been elected and operated on the so-called nonpartisan basis, While it is true that we might oo- casionally have a so-called partisan control of the tity commission, there is no possibility of our ever discarding the city manager plan itself. In any event, the standard of OTHER CITIES DECLARE FOR MANAGER PLAN, WHY : NOT GIVE IT A TRIAL?

CASTLE CURED OF LONG STANDING ILCNESS CARNEGIE FUND Hundreds Benefit From Pay- * ments of Foundation Estab- lished 15 Years Ago, An- nual Report Shows NEW. YORK, April 11.—Distribution of $7,964,399 for retiring allowances and pensions to 900 persons have been made through the Carnegie Founda- tion for Advancement of ‘Teaching during the last 15 years, according to the annual report of the foundation, made public. Total resources of the foundation were listed at $24,628,000, of which $15,192,000 belong to the permanent general endowment. A ‘retireinent re- serve fund consisting of $7,571,000 is jSet aside to be expended during the next sixty years for relief of teach- ers in associated colleges. A ftind of $1,250,000 is held for the division of educational inquiry and $390,000 to aid universities and colleges to adopt a new plan of contract annuities. This plan provides for development of contractual forms of insurance and old age annuities through the policies of the Teachers Insurance and Annu- ity association. z ‘This association was established by the foundation through a gift of 31,- ‘000,000. Its purpose is to provide insurance and annuity protection to college teachers without overhead charges. It has written, the report said, 653 insurance policies covering $3,356,747 of insurance and 654 an- nuity contracts providing for $624,. 398 annual income at retirement. The distribution of money during the last 15 years has been divided to homes which they erected on home- stead properties only to find that they have been stripped of everything movable even to windows and doors, In many cases they find that the prop- jerty has been absolutely destroyed, so thoroughly had the thieves done their work, Leaving an automobile on the road ‘when something goes wrong is synon- ymous with having to have the ma- chine overhauled and entirely equipped could be re with any part that moved.

In many cases no reports are made to the authorities and the officials here got information of the theft second-handed often long after the crime has been committed.
