LICENSE CASPER DRIVERS It is about time that those who rive automobiles in Casper should be licensed. ‘Most cities, at least most large cities, have a licensing system, and ‘t would be well to in- troduce the custom here. There is every reason in favor of such a move, and no good reason the ‘Tribune can think of against it. For the safety of the public, for the moral effect on the careless driver, and for such revenue, even though alight, as it would bring into the city treasury the plan {ts admirable ‘There is entirely too much careless driving here, and the system of li- censing every person who is entitled to operate a car, whether it is a truck or @ private machine fective check against murderer. A nominal charged, of say 26 cents or 60 cents. This would bring in quite a few hun- dred dollars to Casper's coffers. But that is not the main reason for tho license system. If a man knows that he must have a license in order to drive a car, and that if he is repeatedly careless and reck'essly disregards the ordinary rules of human safety he may have that license revoked, that knowledge is going to make him more careful, That there are not more accidents in all cities is only the result of agi! ity and care on the part of the pedes: trian.

But that ts all. Wet Americans and foreigners simply made {t point to ship on wet vessels. “There is every likelihood that they will continue to do so. But there is this difference: Under the supreme court ruling there can be no wet vessels sailing from American ports; but there can and will be from Cana- dian ports. It follows that our wet will take ship from Mon- treal, Quebec or Halifax rather than| from New York. It follows again! that more foreign vessels will make these ports their terminus. “Middle western travelers can} travel by train to Montreal almost as| cheaply and quickly, and fully as| comfortably as to New York. There they will be closer to Europe than they would be at New York. At Halifax they would be a day neerer Europe, and at Quebec almost a day nearer. It fs an easy way out. Thou- sands upon thousands of passengers travelers will take it. It will mean millions of dollars profit to the Canadian ports. “To be sure, both American and foreign vessels could circumvent the jlaw by establishing floating Mquor warehouses outside the three mile| to pick up thelr supply of drinks | outbound, but that would be dicicult and expensive. They could touch at Halifax for a supply, but! that also would take time and money. “The easy way 1s for such ships as can to sail from wet ports. We have little doubt that they will do so, and that they will have as full book- ings as if they sailed from New York.

Che Casper Daily Cribune —By Fox; Onc# Too often THE SKIPPER TRIED His THE PASSENGERS DESERTED THE CAR BACK AND Do A LITTLE FISHING, Work on State Fair DOUGLAS, Wyo., May 9%—Alfred R. Hale is the new secretary of the Wyoming State Fair, his appoint- ment by Commissioner Fayille hay- ing been announced last week. He has already started on the work of arranging for the 1923 fair, which will be held this year on September 11, 12, 13 and 14. Commissioner ‘aville spent the greater part of last k here, canvassing the local field we for a secretary and going over the situation generally as it related to the fair. He left Saturday for Cheyenne. The amount of money available for the fair this year will mean a cur- tailment of spending, there being but $14,000 to spend. The premium lst, upon which a large portion of the appropriation is used, must of neces- sity be cut down, but it is expected that a reclassification and abridge- ment can be worked out that will not materially lessen the quality or quantity of the exhibits, A factor that will greatly aid this year will be the help that the county agents will render in stimulating in- terest and in the gathering of ex- hibits. There are eighteen county agents in the state and each will be interested in making the fair a success. As soon as ingurance adjusters have passed upon the fire damage to Agricultural hall that building will be repaired and put in condition to house again a fine exhibit of the products of Wyoming's soil. rs Sell Bank Interests CODY, Wyo., May 9.—As the Herald goes to press it is learned that L.

Owners or agents will please call at the assessor’s office and attend to this matter, Per- sonal attention will obviate errors that might otherwise creep in. The assessor and his deputies have examined every piece of property in the city and they have made an effort to interview the owners. Of course, a good many people have been missed and must be assessed from the records unless they come to the office and list their property. Automobiles not found by the assessor or his deputies as he went from office to office or from door to door will will be assessed from the list furnished by the Secretary of State. This method of assessment furnished no satis- factory way of getting at the value; hence, owners are urged to come to the office, list their autos and trucks and secure a copy of the assessment. Property-owners should bear in mind the dates of the meeting of the County Board of Equalization. The first meeting will be on June 4th and will continue for several days: This is the proper time to make complaint if you feel that your property has not been properly appraised by the assessor. A second meeting will be held June 25th and continuing probably three days. LYLE E. JAY, County Assessor.
