The third house, the ibused taxpayer and that last of all of the unfortunates, the ultimate consumer, all agree that chiropractic applied to mem- bers is possibly what they need most of all. The lack of proper backbone adjustment crops out in legislative action or inaction so frequently that it is remarked by children in the streets. And as for intestines—it is a wholly absent quality in the do mestic economy of latter day Wyoming statesmen. Which leads to the thought—where are the contenders of yesteryear? Where the warriors who defended the right and hurled their spears at the wrong? Heroes who held convictions and despised pussyfooting, to whom gubernatorial vetoes held no terrors, Here we are, with a law enforcement department convicted of every sin of commission and omission in the calendar, with its record of shame laid bare to the suffering taxpayers and the high minded Christian citizenry of the state, nauseating * enough to drive a starving dog from a garbage wagon and no statesman, with either sufficient backbone or intestines to rise in his place and in the name of common decency demand that this foul smelling department be remoyed from the activ- ities of the state, supported by the tax-money of the people. It is a crime to permit this department to longer exist. It is a shame to take money from the people to be wasted in the riotous living of its agents and stool pigeons, its pimps and gamblers. It is a sad day for Wyoming that this department is spared ‘to exist. It is an even sadder day that its history is written into the records for future generations to read and ponder. It is still a sadder day that the servants of the people, assembled to make the laws and direct public affairs remain patient in the face of the facts regarding this unworthy and unright- cous state activity. If no other one thing were done by the present legislature, the destruction of this department alone would justify the session A Step in the Right Senators Lee and Spear have come to the relief of tax- payers of the state with a series of bills that at once revived hope in the breasts of this large and important contingent of our population. For a time it had been feared that the general economy campaigns brought to Cheyenne by both political par- ties had been abandoned, forgotten or sidetracked by the in- sistent demands of powerful predatory interests for appropria- tions of tax money. It is scarcely necessary to mention these interests most everybody is aware of them. But for the benefit of those who live farthest out and get their mail only once a week, they may be referred to in the order of their avaricious- ness as the university, the highway commission and the law euforceemnt commission. The Leg-Spear combination includes senate files 76, 77, 78 79, 80, 81 and senate joint resolution 4. These measures have real and not false teeth in them, and their adoption or defeat will be a test of the sincerity of legislative members, in their professed deyotion to real retrenchment. Number 76 reduces the limit on municipal tax levy to six mills. Number 77 reduces the limit of levy in high school dis- tricts, Number 78, reduces the general school tax levy lmit. Number 79 reduces the county tax levy limit. Number 80 re- lates to the application of the federal oil royalty of nine per cent which is allotted to the university. This creates a fund of $675,000 and is divided instead of applied wholly to running ex- penses. Number 81 repeals levies of one-eighth and _ three- eights mills respectively levied for building and building main- tenance at the university for the past ten or fifteen years. These levies produce $325,000 in the two year period. Senate joint resolution number 4 is a proposal for a constitutional amendment limiting the state tax levy to three mills, It is four mills at present. Senators Lee and Spear have taken the proper course to enforce economy and force a showdown on their members. They go after the source of supply that fills the barrel, rather than appeal to the spendthrifts who hover around the bunghole, There is only one way to economize and that’s to economize. Messrs. Lee and Spear have adopted the right course—to shut off the supply. So far there has been no political lineup since the session opened, and a program is formulated in each house and adhered to by the respective parties and their leaders on economy and retrenchment the present legislature will go down in history us a curiosity, also a monstrosity, We will see just how fast and firm the senate lines up behind the Lee-Spear program, A French laborer bought for fifty cents an old broken stove in,a little shop in Paris, and found $2,500 hidden in- side» whereupon the storekeeper claimed the money. But the Trench courts awarded the money to the owner of the stove at the time the money was found and the poor laborer Is rich with his 50,000 francs. for A newspaper heading states that “Germany is read, t en war on France.” Something vaguely famillar about it, hasn't she been ready for war on France?

WENT ON STRIKE SCORED; JOBS CALLED SINECURES To the Editor of The Tribune: Is a public office a private snap? That is the question to be decided between the atrona county court house employes and the board of county commissioners and the taxpayers of the county, During the past five or six years from $6,000 to $9,000 has been paid out of the county treasury to employes each year for “overtime,” when no overtime was put in—when , in fact the county employes put in much Jéss time and did not work nearly as much as the uverage employe’ in any of the downtown offices, shops or stores—and they drew h larger Salary than the average employe drew who was working out- Side the county court house. If the deputy sheriffs have put in from twelve to fourteen hours each day, then they are justly entitled to overtime pay, and they would not be committing per- jury when they made out their monthly bills and swore to them, and this article ddes not refer to them, for it is not the desire of any fair-minded man who pays the taxes that maintains*the county government to ask any man or woman to do work for the county without being justly remunerated for his labor. But the taxpayers of the county complain and justly so, in paying the women in the county offices one-fourth more salary t¥an the law allows when it is a well-known fact that all the offices are overcrowded with clerks and deputies, and more time is put in by them in gossiping over a box of chocol- ates in the winter time and ice cream in the summer time than the time actually spent in work, and it is not uncommon to hear the clerks and shop girls in the downtown offices remark what a “soft snap” the girly in the court house have, and the girls in the court house have realized that they did have a “snap” althongh they seem not to have appreciated it—but they evi- dently appreciated it to some extent after they walked out on a strike and then in two days walked back again at the regu- lar salary provided by law, which is one-fourth less than they have ‘been drawing—under false pretenses. There are a thous- and girls in Casper who are as capable in every way, and who do a fourth more work than the girls in the court house, whose salary is loss than $100 per month, and they are glad to be able to hold their positions under the existing conditions. If the true facts were known it is safe to say that most of the depu- ties and clerks that walked out last week, and then went back again, did not want to strike, but would have been willing to have continued with their work at the amount provided by our statutes without 4 murmur, but it was some of the heads of the departments who were the real agitators, and they not only en- couraged the girls to leave their desks, but they advised them to go, and it is not hard for the strikers now to see that they were the “goats,” while the agitators were made martyrs of, be- cause they “remained faithfully on the job, and served the pub- lic as best they coyld.” Why the heads of the departments ad- vised the walkout is readily explained by the fact that they too, had been cut off from the “overtime,” which amounted to considerably more than the deputies and clerks were unlaw- fully taking out of the county treasury each month. The county officers are placing the blame upon the county commissioners and the*men from the state examiners office for the reform, but that is not where the blame, or rather credit, belongs. It belongs to a number of the leading taxpay- ers of the county who not only utged, but’demanded that the county commissioners correct this abuse as well as other abuses that bave been indulged in during the past several years which have cost the taxpayers thousands upon thousands of dollars. And it may also be stated that the state examiner's report to the governor, a copy of which is also furnished to the board of county commissioners, is not the private property of the commissioners, as they have hertofore declared, but a copy of the report of the finding that are made under the examina- tion ‘at the present time, will be furnished the Casper Cham- ber of Gommerce, and it will be published in the Casper news- papers, if they care to publish it. The bills of the county are now being thoroughly examined and the true condition of the findings will be included in the report. It is hoped that nothing more than carelessness on the part of the commissioners will be found, but if there is any- thing more the public is going to know about it and it will be up to the taxpayers to take such action as they deem fit. A word to the county officers, deputies and clerks will not be out of place at this time: Ary time any of you are dis- satisfied with conditions, simply pack up and go out; peace- fully and quietly, and your place can be filled within ten min- utes, Always remember that the taxpayers are putting up the money that pays your salary and they are entitled to court- eous treatment when they step up to the counter to transact county business. Be courteous, it won’t hurt you, and it will make the taxpayer feel more kindly toward you. Be conscient- ious with the expenditure of county money, for many a man who pays his hard-earned cash into the treasury often sacri- fices clothing and some times food for himself, his wife and his children. You have been hired by the taxpayers to do the work you are doing, and try to make them have confidence in you and have respect for you instead of accusing you of being a cheat and a petty grafter. A COMMITTEE OF TAXPAYERS LONE ALASKA PHYSICIAN TELLS OF BATTLE WITH DIPHTHERIA IK NOME BEFORE ANTITOXIN CAME By CURTIS WELCH, M. D. (Copyright, 1925, by United Presa) NOME, Alaska, Feb, 9—As is usual in the beginning of epidemics, the first case aroused but little aux: fety. A child in a family of seven had been taken sick, about two weeks after navigation closed, and when the child arrived here 1 sus- pected a case of diptheria.

In- eldentally the nurses were the only Persons I had to consult, as there is no physicians within 10 days travel. We had agreed the case was a typleal case of diptheria, Then toward the middle of Janu: ary I Was called to treat a native, Upon opening the door, I got the odor of diptheria and upon examira- tlon of the child—about seven years old—I found a clear case of diph. theria, T went for a distant nurse to watch the case and ordered her to give doses of antitoxin which waa six years old. T healtated to use the serum, as I had no idea what its re- sults might be, but in this case it could do no harm, for the child could not live. When death came within 24 hours, and not from the serum, I had prov. ed two thinge—that diptheria wae Present and that the old antitoxin Produced neither local nor consti tutional symptoms.

The 80,900 units of serum, with the date of expiration marked on the packages as January, 1920, which were used freely with appar- ently good results, but of course, this small amount was a poor de- fense against a young epidemic. I used the new serum as soon as it arrived in all bona fide and sus- picious cases with apparently ex- cellent results. I have now but 175,- 000 units left form the 300,000 which arived by dog team. This would be about ample if only a very few cases developed. As I look backward over these weeks of care, I see most dramatic cases. I saw a child At noon in good condition. When she died at noon the next day I decided to immunize the whole family with my old anti. toxin. We gave the immunizing dose to the father while his dead child was lying on the floor and while his wife and two other chil- dren were crying nearby. That night the father buried his child, having to pick through several feet frozen ground to dig the grave. Hardened as I am to all forms of human {lle—it was not without its effect.
