THE FAIR.

1t is somewhat of a blow to the
hopes and expectations of many
local people to learn of the recent
decision of Attorney General Pres
ton, that county commissioners
have no right or authority to make
donations to fairs in aid of any
association or corporation. While
a very successful fair was held
in Saratoga lsst year without fl
nancial aid from the county, 1t
was hoped 10 have an appropria-
ton from the commissioners this
year in order that some improve
ments might be brought about and
the annual county exposition made
larger and better than it had been
in the past. The opinion of the
attorney general, however, will
put an effective quietus on the
hope of financial assistance from
the county, and those in charge of
the fair arrangements in this
county may as well prepare to de-
pend entirely upon their own re-
sources in staging this annual
event. Their experience last year
is sufficient proof that the Car
bon fair can be successfully han
died without county aid, the 1916
fair having proven a complete suc-

Wyoming Far Behind.

Wyoming is five years behind
the times with her roads.
This is the statemedt of E. l..
Emery, the man who logged the
first Translate road, which later
became Wyoming's part of the
Lincoln Highway. He has just
returned from Idaho where he has
been studying that states elaborate
system of highways at first hand.
Idaho has two main trunk lines
east to west and north to south.
They are cut along the line by a
network of feeders that come from
the surrounding country. This
system of highways gives the peo-
pie of the state an adequate means
of travel and now that the people
have begun to spend their money
IN this department they are in
favor of voting heavier bond issues
because they realize that good
roads are an asset.
Mr.. Emery hopes to g the day
FASTENED when Wyoming will be
able to take her place beside her
neighbors in the matter of roads.
He expressed the belief early in
the week that now a state highway
commission has been established
and obstacles in the way of bond
issues have been removed, Wyom-
ing will surge to the front in the
matter of road building.
Il have travelled all over Idaho's
roads, and [ found it a great pleas
are One highway extends across
the state from Montpelier to Wei
ser, a distance of 400 miles, has no
grades sleeper than 5 per cent.
The whole distance is graded and
every gulch and low place is well
equipped with culverts a n d
bridges.
Another trunk line runs from
Twin Falls to the west entrance of
the Yellowstone park. 1t is not
yet quite completed but when it is
finished it will present the same
smooth surface and moderate
grades as the east to west routes."-

be able to arrange some method
by which they could turn the en-
tire matter over to the commits
sioners and have the fair conduct

attorney generals opinion, the
county funds would be available

Saratoga people have responded
generously to the appeal for help
in getting the local railroad line
opened, and much has been ac-
complished by the large crew sent
out from here, the line having
been opened for several miles
north from this station. The men
have worked hard and willingly
and enormous quantities of snow
and ice have been removed from
the cuts along the line. Business

Convict Labor inexpensive.

Realizing that it would be bene-
fetal TO many parts of Wyoming,
Senator Gardner of Alton intro
duced a bill in late Legislature and
fostered it until it was signed by
the governor, providing that the
state shall board convicts while
they are at work on the public
highways. Heretofore, counties
have had to foot the bills for this
work, and as a result people were
"a little timid about wanting too
many nonvlcts to work in the
county at once, as the expense
of maintaining the camps was con-
siderable. However, thanks to the
senator from Alton, the state will
now furnish provisions for the
road camps, and on account of the
cheap labor thus afforded by using
the %convicts, it is likely that there
will be an unusual demand for the
state wards from many Wyoming
counties during the coming spring
and summer.

JUST WHY DOES CHI. SURFACE
LINES ADVERTISER"


Lines exploit it's $12,OOO,OOO payroll,
and why is it necessary for a public
monopoly to purchase advertising
space in the daily papers?" asks the
Union Leader, official organ OF the
street car mems union.
The point is then raised that peO-
pie have no choice as to car lines
and there must be some other reason
than advertising observation-disclosures
ness behind the surface lines pay
ment of thousands of dollars for
newspaper space.
Just as many people ride on the
surface lines whether the traction
corporation runs ads in the papers or
not, according to the Union Leader,
which suggests that something like
this should go into the surface line
ads:
when we come to compare sal
aries of Chicago Surface Lines en-
plOyes we have in mind one official
who pulls down about 5000 day.
He neither works a 12-hOur day nor
a split run. Others are pulling down
$3.50 and $1OO a day-per working
day, of course. The number of days
and number of hours per day worked
by these officials are considerably
less than the number worked by
trainmen and other employees, for
they must play golf for a side line
to keep their muscles in condition.
Compare these salaries with the
S2.43 or $2.70 a day for casual work
of the extra trainmen, who is always
subject to call, or the 1924 or $3.50
day of the 30-year motorman or
conductor. Who will say that there
should be such wide difference in
values of men, measured in money,
in any industry?
