State Ruled by a
Political Ring
Platte County Man Roasts State Gov
ernment-Paid Too Much for the
Saratoga Springs, He Says,

r. +. Paxton, county assessor for
Platte county, who was recently re-
ported by Murray Patch, an asssess-
ment expert representing the state
board of equalization, as having assess
ed lands in Platte county at values not
equitable with those placed on other
lands in the state, has issued Il hot re-
joinder in which he vents his spleen in
various directions and covers much
more territory than merely the matter
of land assessments.
For instance, Paxton takes a double
handed wallop at the Wyoming state
government. urging the people of the
state to begin right now a statewide
campaign to break up this nefarious
political ring which for years has ruled
our legislature in the interests of n GER
tain clique, and elect men who are
pledged to put across legislation in the
interests of all the people"
Paxton criticizes the state board of
equalization, which consists of three
appointive commissioners drawing sal
aries of $1,000 II year each, declaring
that the board is costing between S.
600 and $4,000 n year more than was
the expense of handling its duties I'M
der the old system of having the cleo
tive officers act ex-offcio as a board
of equalization.
Then departing somewhat from the
field of tax assessment, Paxton charges
that a Cheyenne syndicate sold the
Saratoga hot springs to the state of
Wyoming, securing $4,000 for n $4,000
property. and that the law enforcement
department crcated by the last lcgisla-
ture is operating at a very large eX-
pense, but is su%perfluous. He alleges,
furthermore, that Il bill passed by the
last legislature increasing the salaries
of state officials was enacted through
coercion of members of the Legislature
with threats that other measures in
which they were interested would fail
to become law unless they voted for
the salary-increase bill.

Whether or not other lines of bust
ness are experiencing a slump at the
county seat. it would appear that the
moonshiners are working full time and
prospering-even to the extent Of clogg-
ing up the city sewer system with their
great bulk of Waste products. Last
the following appeal" to m%oonshiners:
Those persons who are making
moonshine are respectfully requested
by the city officials to be careful and
not dump mash into the sewers
During the past few months the
city has been put to much expense be-
cause of the necessity of tearing up
sewer mains and cleaning out mash
that has been dumped into the sewer
and that has clogged it up.
"On Monday last over a barrel of
this mash was taken from the sewer
in the east end of the city.
"Moonshiners should he more care
full in disposing of their mash as the
city can i'll afford to spend the money
necessary to continually tear up and
clean out sewcr mains.
ANY moonshiner caught can rest AS
Sured hat if his case is tried before
the police judge the maximum penalty
will be given him.

HELP FILL THE FOOD SHIP

Everybody in this city is going to
have chance to help fill the food ship
that will sail soon for the Caucasus
where hundreds of thousands of per-
sons, many thousands of little orphans
face starvation.
December 8 is the day that every
body here can help. 1t is Commodity
Day, on which the Near East Relief
asks that everyone bring or send
canned goods, dried fruits, sugar and
soap to the nearest receiving station.
These will be arranged for in Boy
Scout headquarters, public schools and
church buildings. These things that
can be shipped overseas are asked for:
Canned goods: Vegetable soup,to-
matoes, corn, salmon and other canned
foodstuffs; dried fruits: apples,
peaches, apricots, prunes, raisins; also
sugar and soap. These donations will
be taken to headquarters and packed,
then shipped overseas to the Caucasus
where these great hosts of adults and
little children are waiting and looking
for them.
~Bitter winter is coming in the Cau-
casuS; we are in the midst of plenty;
these people over there are freezing
and starving. Every can of food,
every pound of dried fruit will help to

From the tone of communication
in the last issue of The Clarion, | as
sumo one of the guarantors of the
Chautauqua thinks he won't get his
moneys worth this year because he
must listen to "children's stunts.
He says that all we get is the memory
of these entertainments. What do we
get from any entertainment but the
memory? What do we get from a
good sermon but the memory? When
we leave school all we carry away is
the memory of what we learned there.
To be sure most of US get our school
ing free these days and some of us get
our sermons free. The whole Chau-
tauqua course costs one dollar and a
half - six entertainments! Who of
us who are parents would not be will

LARGEST Generator Built.

G0COO-kva. 70O0-volt, three-phase
generator, rated at 1000 r.p.m,, but
designed to withstand 80 per cent
increase in speed, has been completed
by the Siemcns-S -Schuckert works in
Germany, according to the Electrical
World. The largest rating provided
in any generator previously built by
this company was 21,500 kva., so that
this order represents a big jump be-
yond all experience. The ability to
withstand such overSpeeding was also
severe requirement, owing to the
utter lack of high-grade nickel steel
at the time the unit was ordered.
Owing to the size of the generator,
special cars had to be built for the
rotor and Stator. The rotor gondola
