HI TAX-DODGERS.

In his address to the sheepmen of
Wyoming Governor Brooks takes occa.
sion to rap the tax-dodgers in a man
ner at once timely and unmerciful.
They are deserving of no mercy, but
the governor might have gone entirely
beyond the ~lockmasters. The making
of false returns to assessors is not ON
fined to any particular class, and the
flockmasters are about the most guilt
less ones in the commonwealth. If all
our property were returned on the
same basis as our sheep, the assessed
valuation of the state would easily ex-
coed one hundred million dollars, in
stead of less than half that amount.
Tax-dodging is something that has
been practiced in all ages and in all
nations. Even old Father Adam lodged
when the Lord taxed him with the VIC
fation OF Il commandment ii tried TO
place the burden upon his helpmates
In Wyoming a great deal of the fault
has been with the assessing officers
and the form of u assessment SEIZED
ules. Our schedules should contain a
list of all kinds and classes of prop
erty. and the property-owner should be
questioned minutely As to each class,
under oath. There are some who would
brazenly perjure themselves Under any
conditions, it is true, but few would
care to place themselves in a position
where they might be prosecuted for
swearing falsely if their attention was
directed to particular items of property
in their possession.
The governors speech was n of the
best at the convention-short, vigor-
GUS and direct.

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR d.
REcTS THAT INVESTIGATION

TON SCHEME.
Lake Desmet Proposition Receives At
tention of Senator Warren and 1t
viii Be Looked lnto-Government
Will Be Glad to Cooperate With
Private Enterprise in Reclaimine
Land Adjacent to the Lake.


Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-In com
tor Warren, the secretary of the inte-
rior has directed that an investigation
and examination shall be taken up in
the spring of the proposed Lake De-
Smet irrigation project in Sheridan and
johnson counties. The data an infor-
nation to be secured by the proposed
examination will be used in connection
with that already accumulated to en-
able the reclamation service to make
definite estimates and recommends
tons concerning the project. If the
project is found feasible, and if the
land under it can be reclaimed at a
reasonable cost, the entire Wyoming
delegation in congress will make an
energetic effort to secure an apportion-
ment of funds to carry the enterprise
TO completion, even though Wyoming
is far ahead of its quota of benefits
from the general reclamation fund.
Pending the examination of the Lake
DeSmet project by the government, the
reclamation service will aid any indi-
vidual or private organization desiring
to develop the project by private CAPT
tai. The reclamation service has ac-
cumulated considerable data and has
made several surveys and maps of the
Lake DeSmet proposition, and this da-
ia and maps will be placed at the dis
posal of any individual or association
desiring to undertake the work.
In correspondence with Senator War
rem on the subject, the reclamation SER
vice writes: Investigations carried
on by the reclamation service in rela-
ton to this project showed that a large
percentage of the irrigable land was in
one ownership; that the water rights
to be utilized were complicated by
many claims, and that the water sup
ply was of doubtful sufficiency, neces-
stating several years of observations.
The water supply data is now some
what mor complete and it is probable
that a feasible project may be worked
out; but the condition of the reclama-
ton fund makes it impossible to under
take this project for several years to
come. The restrictions of the reclama,
ton act regarding farm units are such
that the complications of land holdings
may be more readily handled by pri-
vate enterprises"
Notwithstanding the complications
and obstacles which stand in the way,
the Wyoming delegation in congress
will take the matter up earnestly and
when the additional data and informa-
ton is secured by the examination
which has just been directed, the adop-
ton of the enterprise by the govern.
ment may be accomplished.

When President Roosevelt made his
western trip, while running for vice
president, he arose early one morning,
according to his habit, and went Into
the dining car for a cup of coffee.
The train had stopped at a little cross
road station. While Col. Roosevelt
was waiting for his coffee one of the
newspaper reporters from New York
entered the dining car for breakfast.

After the colonel had finished his
cup OF coffee he asked for the walters

ordered, but found that he had left
his purse in the private car and had
only 20 cents with him. The private
car had been switched away OF in the

Reasoning Power of .nimals.

Men apparently conceive ideas from
a clear sky" but such genius could
not manifest itself were not the mind
already highly cultivated by much
conscious effort-reasoning-and ex-
pierience. On the other hand, ami
mails and smallchildren become con-
scious of much knowledge by merely
witnessing the intelligent movements
of others, and in time, without
thought or effort an their part, they
suddenly dicover that they also are
competent to do the same thing, or,
in other words, they begin to initiate.
1t is a general impression among
psychologists that animals probably
do not reason; they have no ideas as
we have.-A. F. Shore in the Scien-

Carpenter, formerly a resident Of this
place, but whose home is now at Yer

day as the result of a gun that was

girl picked up the gun and, thinking
it was not loaded, pointed it at her
father and said: Look out, papa,
I'm going to shoot" Carpenter lodged
quickly, and this alone saved his life,

load passed through Carpenters hat.

LONDON'S STARVING MULTI
tubes.

1t is estimated that a million people
in the city of London are living from
hand to mouth, on the verge of starva-
ton each day, fac to face with famine.
The police are almost helpless, con
fronted with the possibility that any
day the hunger-driven throng will
break all bounds and sweep like a de
%structive flood through the streets an6
public squares of that great city. The
municipal government knows that II
is powerless to give relief, and men
of all classes. trembling with fear of
the future while sympathizing with the
suffering of today, turn to the new min
istry in hope that it may find a solu-
ton for the gravest problem which has
confronted London in thirty years.
From all over England, and more or
less from all over Europe. men have
pressed into the city, hoping there to
find relief from troubles far less keen
than those encountered under tho new
environment. Starving for bread and
h~eart-hungry for sympathy they
have come from every quarter to the
United Kingdom, only to find already
established restitution such as they
had never conceived and misery more
horrible than the ugliest visions of
their dreams. But once in the city,
once at the bottom of the descending
scale of human suffering they find no
way to escape. And so it is said that

whose faces bear the stamp of the mis-
cry to which they were born, one sees
