SHERIFF is BACK FROM
A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA

Sheriff Sanders returned Monday
from Los Angeles, bringing with him
William X. Rummel. Jr., who Is
wanted here for grand larceny, which
consisted Of robbing the room Of a
former friend and fellow workman
during the absence OF the latter,
caused by illness in his family. The
complaint was sworn to by Fred Jes-
mer, the injured party, who alleges
that Rummel took a quantity OF
clothing: bedding, baggage, etc., from
his room and disappeared. The
crime was committed some time ago
and 1t was only after a long search
that the missing man was located In
the Southern California metropolis.
The sheriff was obliged to stop for
a short time in the California capital,
Sacramento, while extradition papers
were being prepared. He tells Of the
interesting preparations which are
being made there for the Days OF
40" celebration, which will take
place from the 23rd to the 28th OF
this month. to commemorate the dis
covery of gold. This will be n OF

During the week every district in the Rawlins oil fields made
steady progress. although trucking operations were to some extent
hampered by the weather. Oil was once more turned into the pipe
line from Lost Soldier to the loading station at TT. Steele, thus
relieving the storage congestion at I'air camp. A new gasser was
opened up by the Ohio company. Many officials of oil companies
operating or having holdings in these fields, who have been absent

STATE PROFITS BY
Law ENFORCEMENT
CLAIMS BY UNFRlENDLY CRITICS that
DEPARTMENT DRAINS STATE and
INCREASES TAXES REFUTED
BY The Commissioner

While objections to the enactment
OF the law establishing the depart
ment Of law enforcement have been
many and varied, both before the
bill introduced for that purpose be-
came a law and since the law began
to function under the direction of
Commissioner A. S. Roach, it Is safe
to say that the principal one, and
the one most frequently advanced, is
that it is a drain upon the state treas
ury and that taxes are increased by
the operations of the Law Enforce
ment Department.
Commissioner Roach. in a letter to
The Republican,, calls attention to
the fact that protests against the
law itself and the enforcement de-
partment on this ground are not
tenable and not based upon a knowl-
edge of the real facts, which demon
strate that his department is actual
ly self-supporting. To prove this the
commissioner submits a memorandum
of the cost OF maintaining the de-
partment for one year and of the
amounts of fines and penalties which
have been turned into the treasures
Of the state and counties in the
same priod.
The Memorandum
Money accruing to the
State and Counties, due
; to the activities of the
department. from April
:. /. 1921, to March 81,
1922 -----$43,199.S
Cost OF operation of Dept.
of Law Enforcement
from April l.. 1921, to
March 81, 1922------ 36.073.27
Department has earned
for the State --------$ 7,126.04
In addition to the above amount
there are still 46 cases pending, that
is, where the defendants are under
bond for their appearance for trial
in the District Courts of the differ
ent Counties of the State. and which
Undoubtedly represents close to
$40, 10000 II the Department Is as
successful in securing convictions in
these cases rs during the past year.
It must be remembered that this
work has all been done by the Com
missioner OF Law Enforcement. One
deputy and five agents operating all
over the state.
