KICK, fon't fin Ait w y special messenger. before 8 o'clock Lincoln’s Example There is a lesson that we all may well take to heart in the life of Abraham Lincoln. Summed up in a few words, it can be expressed thus: Regis Whether you reach the top or not depends pretty much upou yourself! Lincoln was born of poor parents. Friends, so: cial life, even ordinary opportunities were denied him, He knew only hard workginder the worst conditions. But it only spurred him on, He 1&ked ahead—and dreamed. ‘There were no libraries for him to turn to. The benefits of our present day schooling were not his. So he borrowed what books he could, and read and worked and dreamed on! Lincoln gaye himself an education. As he read, in front of an open fireplace, his dreams grew bigger—but never were they dreams of personal power. Time Jet him gradually find his place in the scheme of things. Dreams began to come true. But only after he had studied them out and worked them out for himself. Lincoln, of course, did not know what his goal was going to be. He did not think of going “from prairie cabin to capitol.” He only dreamed of bigger and better things—and then did them. The whole world benefited by the reward that came to him. There is room, in this world, for more dreamers—who are big enough to make their dreams come true! A Proposed Program Vor the past week the more earnest members of the legis- lature have set up a complete program of economy and re- trenchment, and demanded of their brothers that they join in putting the plan through. It is a program of drastic reduc tion in appropriations, the abolition of bureaus and commis sions and consolidation of other state activities under the di- rection of the elective officer It is not a question of responsibility for the present state deficit of approximately a million dollars, it is a question of wiping out that deficit by cutting the ove d expenses of the state and balancing the budget for the ensuing biennium. Instead of devoting a three cent gasoline tax to highway purposes it would be much more to the point to apply the pro- ceeds of a less tax to the elimination of the existing detiei 4 and then } a stringent law making a deficit unlawful with punishment for officers who create it. The highway’s progress is, of course important to the state's future. The real trouble is that it is requesting the tre- mendous sum of $600,000 in tux money from the people at the most inopportune time. Possibly a less tax at the present time for upkeep of the roads already constructed, with complete suspension of building of proposed highways might not be viewed as impossible by the taxpayers, and it would be a wel- come realief, in the circumstances, to the legislators. The university, should be decent enough to join in any program of economy and deficit reduction by coming forward and voluntarily surrender every item of appropriation it can get along without, and at the same time curtailing its out side activities until a better day comes, If the university will then devote its entire time and attention to the use of its educational facilities for graduation of boys and girls fitted in the best manner possible for the struggle before them, public opinion will change toward the university and it will have friends instead of enemies and critics, If the present and past policy of greed, displayed by the institution, is con- tinued, and if it will not join and sacrifice when economy is the paramount issue, then it is not worthy of further con- sideration of the representatives of the taxpayers, The law enforcement department deserves only one fate. Besides necessarily falling under the ax of economy, it has disgraced itself by its own acts, and humiliated the people who erected it into a state department. It should be abolished and no appropriation should be passed for its support any ground whatsoever. It is a failure and a stench in the nostrils of decent people. All recollection of it should be cast upon the trash heap there to repose among things for- gotten. Then if the islature will proceed in wise fashion with the elimination and consolidation of minor and unim- portant state aid societies with aries annexed, it can claim some justification for the forty days spent in this session, It is not tod> much to hope for, and its realization would be the greatest day in recent Wyoming history. In the legislature the last day for introduction of bills has arrived, and the duy for administration of chloreform to measures doomed is at hand, Also the day for swapping and bluffing present, and it need not be mentioned that the old urmy gue is in progress. Bills that have no excuse for en- cumbering the files, bills that have no leg to stand upon, that have no pride of authorship hope of being written upon the sacred scroll of the commonwealth, and just bills, Between now and the end of the session, which ig next week, all of the bills of value or worth will be passed and the rest go on to the fnrnace room in the basement and devoted to the only useful purpose they could ever have—heating the building Originality in ideas is not lacking in many of the measures proposed in either branch often is, And sometimes, by the stratezy of thi f the legislature, but judgment of these wild ones get through, who knows nothing of the ef some ithor fect of his bill, but considerable about getting support for it, A legislature r mbles in some of its phases, an old time po- litical convention, where the skillful politician adroitly man- ipulates the delegates and secures what he desires, while the high minded fellow battling to preserve the integrity and well-being of his party and keep its record clean and honest, gets left. : A legislator, to be reasonably successful should take a course in poker-playing before he engages in statescraft, Severance Taxes ¥ There is a proposed constitutional umendment in the sen- ate and a bill for a direct statute in cic house on tho.sub- ject of severance tax. The former requires a two-thirds vote of enebvers clect to submit the question to the people, The seme Bldg., Chicago, Il., 286 Fifth Suite 404 Sharon Bldg., Daily Tribune ‘ancisco offices Z 2.50 nd the Datly Tribune will not ufter looking carefully for {t call 15 or 16 ter complaints whe Casper Daily Cribune question was submitted at the election last November and lost. The author of the amendment, Senator Gardner of Lin- coln county, is unwilling to accept the will of the people, so lately expressed, and desires to try it all over again. His pro- posed amendment will, of course be defeated in the senate as it should be, fellow members accepting the action of the people last fall as de e and final. The statutory measure in the house, introduced by house members from several coutlties is looked upon as a gesture againgt the oil industry, agricultural counties sometimes maké for effect. This industry is of course a shining mark for the thoughtless and uninformed legislator who hunts cheap notor- iety, Not knowing or even caring, that if it were not for the a] industry, in Wyoming the e would be broke, the popu- Jation would be vastly reduced, there would be no towns and cities, but only villages. There would be little or no business activify in many portions of the state, and we would be live- stock people out of a job. We would haye no such prospects as we now enjoy, our children would be attending the log school houses of fifteen or twenty years ago and not the splendid buildings they now oceupy, and Wyoming would be different in a hundred ways, The wealth that oil has created for the people and the State should at least place the industry above the -constant threat of small men of small minds. Some day there may come to dwarfed minds, a glimmer of what the oil industry has done in the way of development #nd the possibilities of the future, if so, would it be unreasonable to hope for a cessation of bom bardment and attempted punishment to an industry that has actually and not figuratively kept the wolf from the door, even since its development began? Tt is presumed that the statutory proposal in the house is simply one of those measures introduced for bartering pur. poses to aid some hopeless measure over the rough places. This is the generally accepted view, but the danger of such an act slipping through is always present. Y Peacefully Adjusted The Whitney educational trust, which transfers a million dollars from the ate of the late Edward A. Whitney within the next three years, and which Sheridan county seeks to tax by legislative enactment is by way of being settled “out of court.” The trust has three years yet to run, having been partner of the late Edward A. Whitney, in Cheyenne, and with Supreme Justice Freder H. Blume, both of whom are trustees and executors of the Whitney will, and together with attorneys and Sheridan county represeritatives and senators in the legislature, an amicable adjustment was arranged, where- by taxes will be levied upon the estate regardless of the educa- tional purposes to which the property is to be devoted. The estate will pay taxes for 1926 and 1927. After that it will pass to the people of Sheridan county to found a school of tech- nology, under direction of the district coifrt. The necessary legislation will be put through the present session.

Editor Tribune: Here is a piece I would like for you to print. All my life I have heard of Buf- falo, Wyoming, and what a pretty place it was. ‘Then I lived in east- ern Wyoming on the prairies for some nine or ten years, and the cowpunchers used to tell of Buffalo and how pretty it was, with their mouths watering. But always the motif of their song was the trees in Buffalo, Well, I finally went to 2, and I was certainly <erribly ypointed. Of course, the trees I had heard so much about were there, but they were mostly tall, overgrown cottonwoods, all much in need of pruning and shap- Ing and trimming—just tall, gangly rank cottonwoods. I am frank to say they did not make much of a hit With me. But think of:the hit they made with the Wyoming cow- punchers all those ye so much so that Buffalo represented to their minds a heaven to go to whenever opportunity offered. Now Casper can be made a haven tor the cdwpunchers of central Wy: ming by lining its-streets with tree and let's do it. Let’s do it, first, 4rom an aesthetic sense, and secon: ly to rest the eyes of the cow- punchers, and thirdly because it will % vith the bring people and business to our Ww te ths 9 rstanding that despite the with-|a town.

If planted in the fell, they winter-kill. It is too dry. Now is the time to get busy.
