Ross is the fourth Dem- ccrat to act as governor during Wyo- ming’s history, and the third to be elected to the governorsh!p, His Democratic predecessors during a pe- riod of nearly thirty-three years were John EB. Osborne, the state's mecond governor; John B, Kendrick, now United States senator from Wy- oming, and Frank L. Houx, who was acting governor for two years follow- ing Kendrick's resignation of the gov- ernorship to assume his duties in the United Btates senate, Govornor Ross is a native of Ten- neasee arid an alumnus of the Untver- nity of Nashville, He read law in “office,” and soon after his admis- sion to the bar, about twenty-two years ago, came to Cheyenne and en- gaged in the practices of his profes: sion.

He represented Johnson county in (Continued from Page Two.) ° MACON, Ga., Jan. 6:20 o’clock this morning, made by railroad officials. Ambulances haye been sent from here APPRECIATION | Today I am about to put aside | the duties that I assumed four years ago. In a very few min- \ftes my successor will. be installed in office, and I will again become a private citizen. The four years that I have held this: office have | for me been very eventful ones, and while four years is @ comparative: ly short time, much has happened during that time. A part of it has been a most trying period for the people of this state on account of unsatisfactory economic and finan- cial conditions, and it hes not been easy for one to be at the head of the state government. White I: would like very much to review what has been accomplish- ed during the past four years, I do not feel that I should take the time neither do I believe it appropriate | to use this occasion to sum \up what I believe to have been the Accomplishments of this adminis- tration. Briefly, I will say that jt has been my purpose to do those which I have believed to be’ Of benefit to the state of Wyoming and to {ts people. Ihave recognized no obtigation, except my obligation t othe te anf I have placed the good of the state above political considera No one can pursue such a without making enemies. There are always those who believe that because they have taken an active part in politics they have a right to demand anything regardiess of right or wrong. ‘There are always those who belleve that they have a right to improve their fortunes at the expense of tho public, as there are also those who think they have a right to, demand offices. which they are-netyqualified to fil. T do not mean to imply that all who are appointed to office are not quall- fled, but the right kind of a per- son realizes that more than one person cannot fill the same office. No! man can succeed in ‘the of- fice ‘of governor without ‘the co- operation of the other officers of the state, particularly the elective offices. I do not believe that at any time since Wyoming w ized have there been ft whod worked in such complete har- mony as have the five e'ective offt- cers of this state. There tave been no disagreements. Wé6 have had absolute confidence in one another + and no one has ever attempted to use his office for his particular benefit. What is true of tho elec- tive officers is true of the appoin- tive officers, anc! I feel that they have given their very best services to the state. I want to not dnly thank the officers, but all of the employes for the co-operation and help they have given me. During the time that I haye been fn office there have been two reg- ular sessions and one special sea- sion of the state legislature. Har- mony has existed between the leg: {slative and executive branches of the state government and the legis- lators have been most willing to pass beneficial legislation. The le- gislatures have been made up of a high class of citizens who have endeavored to study carefully -all measures which were introduced, and have been most painstaking in thelr efforts. Much credit ts due them for what has been accom- plished. While the judicial branch of the government Is entirely distinct from that of the executive, I want on this occasion to thank the members of the judiciary for the many cour- testes that they have shown me. No governor has ever had occasion to ‘appoint as many judges as I have, neither has there been a time when 9 many vacancies have occurred. Of the ten judges in the state to- day, five of them havo been ap- pointed to office during my term. In making these appointments, I have used the utmost care and en- deavored to make what I helloved (Continued from Page Two.) | sing aided Mrs, CASPER, WYO., TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1923.

It {s natural, I suppose, — that every administration has problems | to solve which at the ime seem of unusual importance and so it de —— een, Cribrune appears to me that those with which I find myself suddenly con- fronted are of extraordinary con- sequence and the solution of which challenges the best intellects of all political parties. T assume this office with an open mind ready to entertain and give full consideration to the dit- ferent points of view Which upon all questions shall be presented to me. I shall not only welcome but seek the opinions of others, re- membering, however, that in the end I, and 5 my counsellors, shall be held to a strict account’ for my acts, and having no desire to evade that responsibility, I must in each case follow the course thet appeals to me as just. and right. It Is my confident hope that the Executive Branch of our State gov- ernment. working in harmony and co-operation with all others who have chosen’ to help administer the affairs of the state, shall be able to plan and execute such effectual policies and laws ss materially to promotesthe welfare of our people. The Legislative and Executive branches of our government are so closely allied that co-operation between them is of the utmost. im portance in order to secure for the people we represent the benefits of good laws. T want. here to acknowledge with gratitude the, many assur- ances I have received from mem. bers of both the House and Senate regardless of party affiliation, that I may depend upon them for that co-operation, and I assure them that it is my earnest desire and intention to work in harmony with them. Working together we may reasonably look forward to four years of great development of our natural resources, to an in- crease in our population, to 9a reduction of our state ETAOINET higher standard of Uving for our wage earners, to a reduction of our state expenses, to the lowering of our taxes, to a condition of greater prosperity, to a higher re- gard for our laws. and to a finer type of citizenship. . The achieve- ment of these happy results await our united efforts, for aftetr all the development of our state and the Promotion of the welfare of our People constitute the task for which we have been commissioned and for which achlevement, we have been given power and au- thority. The people of Wyoming, in common with those of all the world are at this time feellng the stress of financial depression. They are expecting the best possible govern- ment for the least. possible expen- diture of money, In accordance with this desire we must eliminate all waste and unnecessary expenses; we should abolish all uncles of. fices; we should consolidate de- partments where {t can) be done without sacrificing public interests; we must strive for economy with efficiency and at the same time for taxes It is my opinion fs shared by many, that expendi tures, which. in normal times might be wise and justifiable {n developing new enterprises and perhaps in sustaining some that are not new and which probably aro not essential, should be de ferred eliminated until such time as the strain incident to the present financial depression shall have been relieved. ‘There is no other atate within the Union which has stores away within {ts bosom rich natural re- sources than our own.
