abolish the Office of state veterinarian,
Mr.. Davidson sent to the desk a petit
ton signed by numerous stockgrowers,
asking hat the bill be passed. Chris
tian opposed the measure, stating that
the Office is a necessity to the stockmen
of this state, and expressing the hope
that the bill would be defeated. David
son of Laramie county insisted that it
is impossible to get the state veteri-
marian out of Cheyenne, and conse-
quently he is no good to the stockmen,
The adjustment of the Office is a move
in the direction of economy. Roberts

left as it is, and was unable to see why
the stockmen should oppose a law

tvs salary should be fixed in the bill,
