The United States government meets
our state with IN equal amount. max
ing in all about 100000 to be used
for roads. If we do not vote for this
81 100000. we do not get this Federal
heip, ana our state must pay a Fed
eral tax to help the United States gov

states of our Union. who do vote The

taxed to reimburse our state treasury

day comforting with Governor Carey
on the stand of the United States rec
lamation service in reference TO its ar
bltrary action on irrigating. or failing
to irrigate. Wyoming lands along the
North Platte river valley.
Both of these men are Interested I'm
what Is now as the Sierra Madre
act project. They have been waging n
hght with the reclamation service for
the past twelve years in an attempt to
move II TO irrigatc the project. Recent
~ Mr. Scoggin II Mr.. RiedeSel were
III Washington to gain first hand infor-
nation as TO their case. They found
that h bureau there was quite uu-
aware of and had no record of the flow

This lack of interest and efficiency
on the part Of the service was enough
20 convince them that drastic action on
the part of the state Of Wyoming was
necessary If just aud equitable trent
ment was to be had by the state and
those individuals directly Interested in
the development of the North Platte
valley.
Governor Carey will leave shortly

case TO a showdown. He Is going TO
