The G. o. P. was born in 1856
and died Nov. z, 1916. After a
happy career of many years on
June 10. 1912 was born t, it a
child. a Bull Moose party, which
after a short life of four years,
was put to death by its own faith
er with a big stick. 1t never
fully recovered from the birth of
this child, and on Nov. 4. 1912 it
was stricken with paralysis and
has been in poor health ever
since. Again ON November z.
1916 it received another stoke
and its condition became alarm

called in to diagnose the case.

House of R.pi esentatives voted
unanimously in favor of the At

but the Senate, for political rea-
sons held this appropriation bill
up and in order to get a settle
ment between the House and Sen
ate. so that the States legitimate
debts and obligations could be
paid the Conference Committee
cut out the appropriation and the
one extra Assistant Attorney
General.
The entire number of bills in
troduced the first thirty days was
something over 1000 as against
1.072 introduced by the Twen-
tieth. Out of this number esti-
mated ,ot one out of ten will
be enacted into laws. Our SEN
atorS promised to be very con SER
vative in their deliberations and
they will probably kill a great
many of the bills sent over by
the House. There are several
bills of especial interest to the
people of Lincoln, Cheyenne and
Kit Carson counties and as they
are taken up in the House l will
epdeavor to discuss them and
give results. None have been
considered as yet. The Prohibi-
bition bill will be the first one.

This is a regulation measure and
is very strict. By this measure
one person can receive only one

The House and Senate have fl

facts of the conference were,
that Attorney General Hubbard
asked for a small appropriation.
which, fer a great many reasons
was due him and he only asked
the help of one extra assistant.
A brief review of the situation
will adequately show wherein
our Attorney General is entitled
to more help in his Office. To be

the fact there is now pending an
Inheritance tax suit involving
over one million dollars in the
state of New York and also in
case the Supreme Court holds
that the school funds can be loan
ed to the farmers on farm mort
gage securities which will be
needed. This will require much
legal work from the Attorney
Generals Office, and then we
must not lose sight of the fact
that the Attorney Generals Of
flee must oversee the Inheritance
Tax work and this alone requires
much work, for as a matter of
fact through the Attorney Gen.
erals Office 1000 inheritance
tax was co,lecsed the first month
of the pre- sent administration.
This being a source of great in
come to the state plenty of legal
help will be given to this depart

be able to pass by without paying
their inheritance tax, and then
too. every other department is
receiving additional appropria-
