year 1900, amount to the sum of So.
1924. The increased amount collect
ed by this department is due to an act
of the legislature, which provides that
all insurance companies shall pay to
the insurance commissioner, for the
benefit of the general fund of the
state, two and one-half per cent of all
moneys collected from policy holders
within the state. The receipts from
this source ~(taXes) for the last year
have amounted to S~S,161.14. From the
present indications this amount will
be greatly augmented during the com
ing year. With the increased prosper
ity of the state, there is a correspond
ing increase in the amount of insur-
ance written by the various com
panies, and necessarily there will be
an increase in the evenue derived
from this source. This is equally true
in the several departments Of the state
government.
School Funds.
During the past two years the state
has distributed to the various school
districts in Wyoming over 100000,
which amount has been received for
the rental of school lands. This is no
small item when a person will stop
to consider that the apportionment is
made upon a basis of $4,000 school
children, the average being IS for
each person attending our public
schools. 1t is only a matter of time,
when the revenue derived from the
leasing of state lands, the fees receiv-
ed by the several state departments,
and from other sources, will be suffi-
cient to meet the running expenses of
our commonwealth.
THE derived from the leas-
ing of state lands alone, for the year
ending September Both, amounted to

democrats. To catch the populist vote
democratic leaders gradually changed
their platform till it contained very
little of the principles for which Jeffer-
son and Jackson commended. They

The result has been a gradual defec-

here to the democratic party because
of its character and traditions. Hav-
ing had its clothes stolen by the pop
ulists, as Mr.. Schoonmaker aptly puts

"WOULDN'T 1T JAR YOU?"

The Republican seeks to class
faithful and honest Jim Stirling with
the old barnacles it has on the ticket
says the Boomerang.
The Republican seeks to do nothing
of the kind. If it has seemed to do
so The Republican begs the pardon of
the old b%arnacles."
1T is true that Mr.. Stirling has seen
much service in a public capacity and
it is his large experience hat peculi.

aspires," says the Boomerang.

erang.
And yet the chief reason the Boone
rang urges against the election of GER
tain candidates on the republican
ticket is that they have held office be-
fore. Consistency is not one of the
jewels in the Boomerang's collection
of priceless" gems.
why should the people want a man
of comparative inexperience when they
car secure one tried and true?" says
the Boomerang.
AS a matter Of mathematical exact
ness how many years of running for
office are required to make a man cap
able to fill the office he seeks? Mr..
Stirling has been sheriff, but we are
sure the Boomerang does not want to
enter upon a detailed discussion of
that subject. Mr.. Cook, the republi-
can candidate, has done faithful SER
vice under Sheriff Yund; and that is
it's own recommendation and proof of
worth.
This argument applies to the office
of sheriff in a way that it does not to

of ordinary ability" says the Boone

We cheerfully acknowledge that
the democratic party has followed
faithfully this theory of Ordinary
ability in the selection of most of it's

The old fellows on the republican
ticket have long since lived out their
years of usefulness and should stand
back and give place to younger and
more active men," says the Boone
rang.
Here is the very evening star of all
this galaxy of brilliant ethereal
thoughts. A few lines previously the
Boomerang has urged the people not
to support a republican nominee be-
cause he is young; and now it would
have us spurn "the old fellows and
throw up our hats for the young men.

state to the people of this common
wealth, that the past two years have
been the most successful and pros
porous since the admission of Wyo-
ming into the Union. Not only is this
true in regard to the states finances,
but it is also true in reference to the
industries carried on in Wyoming.
In the administration of state af-
fairs, the people are to be congratu-
lated upon the efficiency of the pres
ent state officials. Their wise judg-
ment and economical business meth
DDS have placed Wyoming upon a fin
ancial footing far in advance of many
of her sister states.
During the past two years the val
uations of all property have increased
s7,103, O12.O7 or over 20 per cent. This
increased valuation is due in a large
measure to the activity in railroad cir
cles, new roads building into the state,
and the improvement of present lines
so as to enable the several companies
to carry the increased amount of
freight that is now en- route to the Pa
cific coast. The time is not far distant
when Wyoming will have another rail
road extending across it's entire
breadth, and many lines are contem-
plated, which will furnish to our peo-
pie a convenient and rapid means to
market their live stock and ranch pro-
ducts:
Wealth of the State.
with the increase in the number of
miles of railroads, ONE the increase
of population, and there naturally fol-
lows a corresponding increase in the
wealth Of the state. Wyoming has en-
tered upon an era which has never had
an equal in this western country. The
tariff on wool has been a boom to this
state, and so long as the present o
ditions exist, the wool industry will
to prosper and thrive. The
increase in the value of sheep during
the past two years amounts to s2,513,-
300, nearly double the increase in 1898.
the same period cattle have al
so advanced in valuation $1,792, 1877,
small sum in itself. The same con-
dition of affairs exists with all classes
Of property.
That the finances of the state are
in an excellent condition, may be seen
from the following, which is taken
from the books of the state auditor.
On September 3Oth, 1898, there was
an overdraft on the general fund OF
the state amount to s3,6SS.01, and one
year later, September Both, 1899, it
had reached the sum of $27, 677.79, and
on January first of the present year
amounted to $43, 9O2.19.
AT the present time there is a bal
ance to the credit of the general fund
to 1922, 304.43. Thus it will
be seen that the deficiency has been
paid, the expenses of the state govern
ment met. and a nice balance remains
which is sufficient to pay the expenses

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-Seven Thousand
more worHngmen who have been en-

act, it is asserted, marks the real begin
ming of a war between labor and the
contractors which will suspend building
operations in Chicago for a period, the
end of which no one sees. The men are
members of various unions affiliated
with the Building Trades Council.
Their rules, with the exception Of the
Bricklayers Union, provide for q hoi-

The ultimatum of the contractors re-
Gently delivered does not allow Of this,
and in consequence when the men quit
work at noon, according to custom, the
contractors declared that the act con-
stituted strike, and announced that as
fast as possible nonunion men would be
secured to replace the strikers. Union
leaders claim that they have not struck,
but have been locked out, : They also
assert that the contractors cannot secure
enough men to continue their work. s4s
The Building Trades Council has q
membership estimated at 81, 900 men,
and this force will be used to prevent
the resumption Of work by non-union
labor and vanquish the contractors who
have taken a stand against the unions,
