YOU IF rT it will be ¢ Vv the University lobby came to town today, bulldoze or hypnotize the ways and means committees out of large sized chunk of the lowiy taxpayers’ money. It required a goodly portion of the day for the professors to present the to browbeat, same old bull, as has come from the-same source ever since that institution was located above timber line in the consist ently Democratic stronghold of Albany county. Heretofore liberal appropriations have been granted because no one desired to retard an institution of learning; but of late the demands and strong arm practices have grown until 17 1-2 cents of every tax dollar collected in Wyoming for state pur- poses, now goes to the support of the University and while the governor has suggested an increased appropriation for the University for the ensuing two years, in order to get the increase four cents per meal has been cut froin the price of food furnished the orphan children under the state’s care Everybody would Be inclined to support the great and holy pause of athletic education at the University, but nobody is in clined to be dictatéd to by a bunch of bespectacled hiyhbrows at the expense of helpless orphans. Yet this is the situation and this is the attitude of the University in its clamor for funds . It is to be hoped that the legislature will grant the Univer- sity a sufficient amount to conduct a school commensurate with the results it is accomplishing, but it is also hoped that not a cent will be given for new and wasteful building ex- travagances like the gymnasium elephant it has lately con- structed. » What this University management needs to do is to descend from its tall perch and walk awhile on the earth and learn that tax money does not grow on the sagebrush along the trails in Wyoming. Resurrecting a Dead One. Senator Clarence Gardner, of Lincoln county, Republican vice president of the senate, and Republican member from his county elected by Republican votes, has been scratching around in the Democratic bone yard, and has succeeded in unearthing the old and discarded Democratic proposal of a severance tax. He has brushed the mold therefrom and bright and early this morning presented it to the senate in the form of a proposed constitutional amendment to the basic law of the state of Wy- oming. Senator Gardner is one of those who is unwilling to take the qualified electors of the state at their word. For it was so recently as last November that they voted upon an identical proposal and overwhelmingly repudiated it. Ninety days is a brief time for the electorate to face abont on any such pro posal, and Senator Gardner can show no assurance from them that they have so faced. In the nature of things it looks like a foolish proposal and a costly one. If there has been any demand for a repetition of the 1924 experiment, no one, save Senator Gardner, has heard it, and not much of anybody will believe it when inform: ed by him. He casts doubt upon his Republicanism when he takes up the discarded ghost of a Democratic policy and carries it around the senate chamber endeavoring to make someone be- lieve it is a thing alive. And that is not all. There is a rumor that the same gentle- man or if not him, some Democrat, is to introduce a straight bill for a severance tax, within the next day or two and try it by that route, if the senate joint resolution, which requires n two-thirds vote to pass, fails, Pity the Poor Taxpayer. Che house revenue committee this afternoon held an open hearing upon the highway commission’s scheme for a three- cent gasoline tax for the maintenance of highways. The pro- ponents of the measure were present in force, but’ the much punished taxpayer of the state was not represented. It may be that some sort of an agreement may be reached and the tax will be applied, but whatever the legislative committee and 4 the highway department may conclude to do about the matter, the three-cent gasoline tax is bound to be unpopular with the f who will be compelled to pay it is an outrage, of course, to add additional taxes of any nd, to the burdeng already borne by the people. The reason s not because those placed in authority do not know better, but because they simply lack the old-fashioned rigidity of spinal column te deny the vultures who would pick the taxpayers clean, : Old Mr, Taxpayer and old Mr. Ultimate Consu: thing but a day, ; mer have any- primrose pathway to tread in this degenerate SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably These will give you a clue to other words crossing them, sure n tp still others. rting at the num!
