1t is held that under the provisions
of thai clause cities are again empow-
cred to assess and collect their w
taxes. But while the new act expressly
tates that all previous laws conflict

Will Test City Tax Law.

Whether or not the cities and towns
of Wyoming shall have power to assess
and collect taxes instead of allowing
that work to be done by. the various
counties, is a question which is likely
to come before the state supreme court
Cheyenne. One or more cities will
probably start friendly suits to have
the question settled, and word comes
from Sheridan that steps already have
been taken in that direction.
1t is felated that, unless a decision
were to be reached within the next few
months, every municipality in the state
would be in danger of losing its entire
revenues for the coming year.. When it
came time to pay axe any taxpayer
could, in the event no action had been
taken, enjoin their collection by the
county. In the event the courts held
that the county had no power to collect,
and the city had failed to dc so, there
would be no tax money Forthcoming.
An act passed by the 1919 legislature
the day before adjournment reads, in
part:
"All cities and towns of this state,
whether incorporated under a general
law or by II special act, shall have the
power to levy and collect for general
revenue and other purposes, cluding

Only One Objection.

who claims that the amount to be rails
ed is insufficient 10 build the roads re-
CURED. If Wyoming cannot make VA
great start, he favOrs making no start
ut all.
Six million dollars. however, will
build n tremendous amount Of good
roads in the state. 1t will build roads
acnoss and up and down the state SO
that every county will have n fair
share. The soil of Wyoming is peculi-
arly adapted to building good roads to
be surfaced with gravel, and at $1,000
a mile, $6,000,O00 will build 5000 miles
of highway. That would mean more
than six complete lines across, up and
down. And il is certain that $1,000 N
mile will build II splendid road with II
gravel surface.
Illinois is preparing to build new
roads to the amount of 100000. 900, and
it is figured by experts in that state
that the saving of gasoline will more
than pay for the entire expenditure on
roads in a ten-year period.

FiFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
WINNING OF WYOMING"
Big Celebration i'm st. Louis All This
Week to Commemorate Fiftieth
\ Anniversary of Suffrage.

Wyoming at the present time is com
ing in for much publicity in connection
with the Jubilee Convention in session
all this week at st. Louis by the Ma.
tional American Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION, because of the fact that Wyo-
ming was the first commonwealth in
the world to admit women to full po-
litieal equality.
1t was fifty years z this year that
Wyoming territory gave to woman a
vote, and the Jubilee Convention at st.
Louis not only commentaries fifty
years of suffrage campaigning and tri-
umph on the part, of the association.
but it also makes much Of the fact
that 1919 holds the jubilee anniversary
of the winning of Wyoming. the first
commonwealth in the worlds history
to bestow unlimited suffrage on
One of the points about the winning
of Wyoming thaDstrikes the reader of
old suffrage history square in the face
is the fact that the political program
by which the enfranchisement Of Wyo-
ming women was effected, was project
ed by men, not women. 1t might also
Sbe said TO have been projected by one
man, William II. Bright, though to be
sure the "indiScreet influence of wom-
an was behind it.
Mr.. Bright was at the time IA mem
Der of the Council in the Wyoming leg

territory. And Mrs. Bright was very
much of a woman Mr.. Bright, a man
of natural capacity, had not had the
benefits of education which his wife
had enjoyed and he seems to have
paused In the days york to remark to
her. now and then. Betsy, it's a shame
that | should be sitting in the legisla-
ture of Wyoming instead of you"
So strongly did Mr.. Bright become
impressed with the injustice of the sit
pation, aid so earnest did he become in
the cause of equal suffrage. that with
the help of a lawyer friend he framed
a bill that was passed by the legislature
and signed by Governor Campbell.
Wyoming has given unqualified en-
dorsement 10 woman suffrage through
out the fifty years of its experience
with it. There was an abortiye effort
TO repeal the law by the incoming leg
%islature of 1871, but already the re
form had entrenched itself in popular
sentiment and no repeating of il was
possible. When statehood swung in the
balance on this issue, in 1890, Wyoming
men ent word to Washington that they
would stay out IA hundred years rather
than come in without their women.
They figured that it ought not to take
more than a hundred years for the rest
of the country to catch up. 1t was u
good liberal margin.
1t is fifty years since Wyoming was
won and in exactly half Of the states
Of the Union the women over 81 have
