PAGE TEN FUND 10 FIGHT LEPROSY BEING HANSED BY W000 SCOTT AND MORGAN Leaving out of the question the long list of offenses of law eva- sion and illegal acts and things performed by J. E. Scott and G. T. Morgan, while acting as county commissioners of Natrona county, and casting aside all matters in which just criticism and censure could be laid at the doors of these officials, let us take up one mat- ter in which they both wilfully, knowingly and.deliberately vio- lated the law in collecting compensation for their services. On December 4, 1923, when the board consisted of T. A. Hall, J. E..Scott and G. T. Morgan, a resolution was adopted creating the office of “full-time commissioner” and appointing G. T. Morgan to the place at the monthly salary of $150. There is no authority in law for the creation of any such office and no authority for the payment of any such salary. But Chapter 100, Section 1426 of the Wyoming Compiled Statutes of 1920 fol- lows: “County commissioners shall receive an annual salary of $200, and in addition thereto, a per diem compensation of $5 for each day actually employed in the discharge of the duties of his office and his actual traveling expenses, not exceeding 10 cents per mile for each mile actually and necessarily traveled in going to and re- turning from meetings of the board, and no other compensation whatever. iS (tn the face of this very plain provision in the year 1924, G. T. Morgan assumed the office of “full-time comniissioner” and drew from the county treasury on the approval of T. A. Hall and J. E. Scott the sum of $1,900, an overpayment unauthorized by law of $1,370. And during the same year J. E. Scott was entitled to draw the following statutory salary, $200, and statutory fees of $330 for at- tending board meetings, a total of $530, whereas he drew the sum of $1,130 from the county treasury on the approval of T. A. Hall and G. T. Morgan. A sum in excess of any authorization by law of $600. : Scott, in order to swell his income, charged the county 10 days extra at $5 per day for each month of 1924, a total of $600. oa ri iE While Hall had his arms in the people’s treasury up to the el- ynths, é bows getting $5,654.70, Morgan was getting $1,370 and Scott was getting $600.

SMALL. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 3—At yi time when two “yqung upstarts” of rail- road finance—the Van Sweringens, of Cleveland—are holding the center of national interest with thelr pro- posal of a billion dollar merger of five great trunk lines, an “old mas- ter’ of the rails, a great builder, a great engineer and executive, ts passing from the scene of activity almost unnoticed, though in history his praises will not be unsung. He was the Heutenant of E. H. Harriman in the pioneer days, He was the successor of Harriman at the helm of the vast Southern Pa- cific system, with all of its sub- sidiaries and related roads. He is retiring today—oh threshbold of. 1, still keen, still alert, st le—but retiring in compliance with one of the rules of his company which he hay enforced for years—the pensioning of all em- ployes who have reached the record of three score years and ten.

Kruttschnitt was all that the mas- ter builder desired. His record of achievement Is too long to recount. Fyen Harriman’s dream of Southern Pacific's future greatness has been surpassed under the skilfull hands of Kruttschnitt. The pensioned Mr. Kruttschnitt is a yery rich man. He says le is going to haye a very pleasant vaca- tion. Like the motorman,on his day off, he ts going to do a bit of travel- ing. ‘Then he will golf some and ride horseback and walk. And when he catches up on his loafing, he says he may want to go back to work, if anyone will hire such an old hand. WOMAN'S BLOCK WILL BE BUILT “IN COAGT CITY By BEN G, KLINE. (Copyright, 1925, Consolidated Press Association.) SAN FRANGISCO, June 3,—With the business acumen and integrity of San Francisco women as security, $500,000 worth of bonds, in denomi- nations of $100, $500 and $1,000, will been offered to the investing public nations of $100, $500 and $1,000 have in this elty. The proceeds of tha bonds, together with a bank Joan not exceeding $650,000, will be used for the construction of a 12-story women's building, to be the fifst structure of its kind in the world, women here believe. When the ten days have passed and the women directing the cam- paign announce the bonds disposed of, a vision which 31 San Francisco club women had three years ago will be safely on its way to realiza- tion. The ground is to be broken before June 4 and at the end of the brief time required nowadays to con- struct a modest skyscraper, the women of this city and their visiting women friends will have a center for all their group activities. The feminine “club, social, recreational, political and cultural life of the city will center in this one structure, whose only space not devoted to women’s activities will be a few shops on the street floor: Ground spuce in the downtown district for the bullding has already been purchased by the Women's Building association, & child of the city and county federation of wo- men's clubs. The funds for its pur- chase came from assoctation mem- bership fees paid by more than 5,300 women, some 1,300 of whom lve outside of San Francisco and many of whom live in foreign countries. ‘These memberships include children of 10 to 12 years, as weil as club fand business women, insuring permanence of the organization. Women from out of the city have membership so they will have a home and club when they visit the city. for the bonds come from? t w chairman of the campaign and for two years head of the federation. we haven't. very careful plang so that every floor of the building will be self- ——— WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1925 porting and the income from the butiding will safely care for interest on and amortization of the bonds.
