WASHINGTON NEWS


Senator Warren has been adj
vised that the Forest service has
authorized road construction work
on three important highways in
Wyoming az follows: Not less
than. $4,000 on the Hobsck canyon
road through the national forest
into the national park; not less
than $1,000 on the road through
the reserve from jackson to the
park. and up to $1,000 on the road
from Cody through the national
forest to the park line. 1t is be-
lieved these amounts will enable
the Forest service to open up
roads affording automobile traffic.
These sums are in addition to
those the senator was able to get
in the agricultural appropriation
bill-$1,500 for the Jackson road,
81 500 for the Cody road and 81,
600 per mile for work on roads in
the park. Senator Warren has
the credit for securing the first
appropriations for road work in
the national park for the purpose
of making these highways avail
able for auto travel, and expects
to persist in his efforts until these
vehicles are admitted on the same
basis as all other vehicles. In adj
dition tn the above amounts to be
expended on road work in Wyo-
ming, the states share of the
forest reserv proceeds will
amount to over $4,000.
Representative Martin, a Colo
RADIO democrat who is retiring
from the house, pays a neat tri.
butte to Representative Mondell
in saying that the member from
Wyoming is one of the few re-
republicans of the house who has
not allowed the fact of a democra-
ric majority to lessen his endeav-
ors and accomplishments. 1t is a
fact that although confronted by
q majority in the house composed
of the opposition party, Mondell
has been able to secure more need
ed legislation for Wyoming and
the west this year than at any
previous congress. That he will
continue to do 80, whether the
complexion of the house were de-
mocratic or republican, is admit
ted by his colleagues. A tireless
worker, always in attendance, able
to make a convincing argument
because of his knowledge and ex-
%perience, and popular among both
republicans and democrats socially
Mondell is in position to do for
the state what no other man could
hope to accomplish until fortified
with these essential elements of
success.
Senator Warren has occupied
much the same position in the
senate this congress. Although
the senate has been nominally re-
publican, a minority of insurgents
has made it impossible to count
on getting anything through on
party lines, and the weight of the
individual member has counted in
that body as it has in the house
Never has Senator Warren been
more successful in securing re-
cognition for his state than at the
session just closed, as the record
will show. He has won out again
st the opposition, not because he
was a republican member but be.
cause of sheer ability and thu
knowledge gained BY long exper'
fence.
The accomplishments Of. our de
legation during the session JUS
closed effectively answer thos,
who say Warren and Mondel
should not be returned bscaus,
they will "be out of line" will
the majority. Their experience
will enable them to deliver tn,
goods, just the same.
