KICK, IF YOU DONT GET YOUR TRIBUNE ou don’t find your Tribune after looking carefully before 8 o'clock. i : Three Bad Boys v It will be by just sheer good luck that the present session of the Wyoming legislature adjourns without calling an investi. gation or two. There are two departments that are oyerdue’on being taken apart and scrutinized for defects in their running gears. They are the highway department and the law enforce- ment department. If there is a third interest needing interior exploration, then that interest is state university. Generally speaking, the generality are specifically uttering remarks about all three of these state supported institutions. Complimentary terms aro growing very scarce in what is befng said. The highway department has made itself obnoxi- ous by its demands for special taxes, by its usurpation of pow- ers, duties and functions of other and higher officers under the state government, By maintaining a lobby in its own in- terest, composed of highway bosses, engineers and other em- ployes, the sole purpose of which is to invade the pockets of the taxpayers. These highwaymen have transferred their ac- tivities from the highway to the hotel lobby. There is no available report from this outfit, no maps of past, present or future operations, no facts and figures upon which to base judgment upon whether these tremendous and expensive opera- tions should proceed or be stopped. No estimates of cost of present or future maintenance. show In fact nothing to whither we are tending in the highway business, where we are going, or Where we will get off. Apparently all that concerns the highway department is more money and, yet more money out of the people to build roads and keep the personnel in jobs The highway department goes upon the theory that it must be supplied with funds in larger quantities every time it asks, rgardless of whether the old sock is empty or not. It is re- garded as a fairly good specimen of hog. Before any more food is shoveled to it, there ought to be a complete examination and a proper accounting of whut already has been emptied in the trough. It may be that the whole thing is not worth what t is costing. The law enforcement department, is said, by those able to withstand the smell, even with gas masks, to be the most all around putrid concern that ever encumbered a state govern nent. There are many good and well meaning citizens who be lieve this department is useful and should be maintaine 1 it is because they are unaware that the tax money is reckless ly frittered away in moonshine joints and academies of ill repute to “secure evidence” which is never brought into court. If the Christian and God-fearing people of Wyoming, who now uphold the law enforcement department, knew the chapter of infamy and waste written by this department, they would hang their heads in shame. The whole thing is a useless de partment, and instead of being a Iaw enforcement power, it s a power in aid of law evasion, the miscarriage of justice, and the escape of offenders from just punishment. Any community in Wyoming can be adequately protected by local peace authorities and without this costly and useless state law enforcement crew, and be the better for it. This law! enforcement department ought to first be investigated, its record written, and then abolished The university is without question, the premier sink bole for taxpayers money. It never has been satisfied and never will be until there arises a patriot with sufficient intestines to call a halt. It should, of course, be supplied with reasonable appropriations as should all state activities. But professors of athletics should not dictate the amount of tax money to be awarded. That should be fixed by legislators.

It will be the big bill of the session in more ways than one. It has attracted the greatest interest from the greatest number of people. It seeks to do a great work and incidentally it has the greatest number of pages, sixty-five and contains the greatest number of words, approximately thirty-two thousand, of any legislation present- ed this session.

The death rate from alcoholism t within states in 1923 was 3.2 100,000 of population. In 1922 it was 2.6; {n 1921 tt was 1:8; in 1920 it was 1.0—the low water murx for all time fince the causes of death have been made a matter of national record. In pre-Volstead days, the rate from 4.4 to 5.8, there was a drop from 5.2 to 2.7, the drop in this instance being due not to prohibition but to th® presence of so many of the young men of the country in the military service where their means of obtaining and drink- | ing Uquor were limited. In 1919, with the advent of ‘war time prohibition. there was a further drop in death rate to 1.6. The gain has been steady since the low water mark of 1920.
