Our "Historical" Bureau

THE historical department of the state of wyo.
l. ming sails under false colors. 1t is in no sense
a historical departmental is a relic department.
The historian has at command $4,000 for contin-
gent expenses. 1t is presumed that the money is
expended for souvenirs of the Indian occupation of
Wyoming, the coming of trappers and fur traders,
the passing of the argonauts, and on down to the
settlement and development of the state.
These things are usually donated to the state by
possessors who are glad to find a permanent home
for them. Mostly, relics of historical value are
gathered together by u historical society composed
of persons interested in the subject and of knowl-
edge relative to the value of the relics and their gen.
uineness.
The history of a state in written accounts and
ton and periods of time, is of the highest i1npor-
lance. 1t should not be neglected. But the question
in Wyoming is not with reference to the propriety
of such a department, rather it is an inquiry as to
the p%ropriety of continuing such a bureau on the
plan on which it is at present conducted
So far as anyone is able to learn the Historical
department" answers no purpose, real or imaginary.
1t is treated as a joke by those about the state
house who know about it. The HISTORIAN In
charge, so far as ability and fitness to direct such a
is concerned, is another fair sample of
incompetency under an incompetent administration
which knows not whether it is going or coming.
The historian was picked from a dry farm on
a day when the crops were poor and the picking
was slim.
1t is a disgrace to a state rich in history that a
proper historical department cannot be established
and function for the public benefit. The present
effort is a waste of time and money.

Saving of Livestock
Interests

What has been the effect of the
emergency tariff on the livestock IN
terests of the country? democratic
members of congress, the Democratic
national committee and tho Democrat
ic press are claiming the emergency
tariff has not benefited the livestock
man. They point to the fact that
prices of livestock and fresh beef de-
clined after the tariff became effec-
tive. and are using this fact as an
argument to sustain their contention
tho tariff did not aid the livestock
interests.
The only way 70 ascertain Faithfully
what effect the emergency tariff has
had on the livestock interests Is to ex-
amino the market reports since the
tariff became operative and by com
parison with the market prices prior
to its enactment reach an accurate
conclusion.
Cattle were admitted free under the
Underwood tariff of 1918; so was
fresh and frozen meats. The emery
ency tariff placed an ad valorem duty
Of 80 per cent on cattle and n spe-
cific duty of two cents n pound on
fresh or frozen beef or veal.
Tho Chicago market has always
shown n better price level for cattle
than the Winnipeg market. but the
difference between the two markets
was ~noticeably increased in favor o.
the Chicago market after the enact
ment of the emergency tariff estab-
fishing the rate as above set forth. In
May, 1921, when the emergency tariff
went into effect steers were selling in
Chicago at $S.51 per one hundred
pounds. and at 1871 in Winnipeg, a
difference of S1.so in favor OF the
Chicago market. This differentiai i'm.
mediately began to. climb. This table
shows the average price in the two
markets by month since the enact
ment OF the emergency tariff. together
with the excess OF the Chicago price
over that of the Winnipeg price:

"He Doth Protest Too Much"

WHETHER the governor told it to the marines,
w the president or anybody else, or whatever he
had to say when he did tell Il, in the light of sub
Bequent events, it did not get very far. The admin
5stration at Washington has carefully refrained
from interfering with state jurisdiction in any mat
1ers arising since it came into power in March, 1921.
The administration has insisted that the states set,
lie all controversies involving the peace and good
order of their territory and all other internal ques-
lions under their jurisdiction.
The matter of a dispute as TO rights of lessees
on naval reserve No. 3, known as the Teapot Dome,
was purely a federal matter
The state held no jurisdiction over the reserve.
Its rights had been coded to the federal govern
ment. The purposes of the withdrawal of the area
in the first instance, the purposes of its subsequent
lease were purely federal and wholly under federal
jurisdiction. The government can tolerate no
squabble over its property ror interference with its
objects, by disputants.
II there is disposition of property it is done
under specific act of congress. The governments
business is transacted always under the authority
of federal law. 1t has the ownership of property
by clear title or it makes no attempt to transfer it
by lease, sale or otherwise.
The sending of n naval detachment to Wyoming
10 enforce orders 10 Yacate given trespassers a
month before, while unusual, was altogether within
the rights of the government.
The naval department was simply removing
s~quatters, who were there without color of right,
from property under its control. When analysed,
what was simpler?
Whatever the governor had in mind when he pro
tested to the president against the coming of a hand.
ment orders to trespassers, is not known, unless II
may have been a little grandstand entertainment
for whatever personal and political benefit that
might accrue. -

OF the emergency tariff which took
effect in May, the difference immedi-
ately began to appear on the Chicago
side of the ledger and to increase from
month TO month. By October, the Chi

those less than one year of age, and
a specific duty OF two cents a pound

Wool Prices After the Tariff.
The manner in which the emergency
tariff came to the benefit of the wool
growers Is set forth at length in a re-
port made to the United States SEN
ate by the United States tariff com
mission. From hat report the fol-
lowing is quoted:
When the emergency tariff act was
passed. in the spring OF 1921, there
were large stocks of wool on hand in
the United States. American wooden
mills were operating on short time be-
cause of the industrial depression and
labor troubles, and the world especial
ly the British colonies. possesses stores
OF wool ready to be marketed at any
reasonable price. Imports were heavy

faced with ruin. Under these condi-
tons the emergency tariff act gave
immediate relief, especially to tho
strained credit situation. Bankers
were no longer afraid of wool paper
when foreign woods were practically
embargoed."

One Term for Gooernor

!WHEN Wyoming adopted a four instead of n two.
w year term for governor it evidently did so with
a very definite purpose in view.
In a majority of states the governor is elected
for two years, and because in most cases he aspires
TO serve a second term it has been the experience
of these states that all too often the first two years
see political expediency given precedence over adj
ministrative efficiency.
1t was to profit by this lsson that Wyoming com.
bined, as it were, two twoyear terms into a single
term of four years. But it was not contemplated
that the very evident purpose of the four-year term
would be lightly thrust aside-that the ambitions
of men would be such that after four years of
honors they would demand four years more
1t was not anticipated that any mans conceit
would be so large as to lead him to presume that
the guidance of state affairs must be left in his
hands for nearly a decade.
Many a man of outstanding ability has felt him
self highly honored when called upon to serve only
two short years as governor of a state. For ex-
ample, in our neighboring commonwealth of Colo
RADIO, where the shorter term prevails, during the
last 20 years only two governors have served four
years, and in the entire history of the state the gov
ernors who have succeeded themselves may be count
ed ON the fingers of one hand. The suggestion there
that a governor ought to be permitted to serve eight
years would be considered SO preposterous as not
to be taken seriously.
In Wyoming only two governors have served
more than one term, and only one of these
DEFoREsT RIcHARDs-was twice elected to serve a
full ~fouryear term. BE died a few weeks after his
second Inauguration. At the next general election
B. B. BRooKs was elected to serve out the unexpired
two years of the RICHARDS term, at the end of which
time he was elected for a four!year term These
two cases were exceptional, in that in each instance
the governor was reelected because of the unusually
high character of his administration. No one, how
ever, will claim that such a situation exists today.
Because during his term the machinery of gov
eminent has run with a fair degree of smoothness-
being exceedingly we'll oiled at taxpayers expense
the present governor of Wyoming, in paid advertise
ments, is urging that he be elected for another four
years. By the same token he might ask that he be
given perpetual title to the office.
Primarily the ~four-year term is intended TO. en-
able a governor to better administer the affairs of
the Office by reason of the elimination of the dis
turbing element that usually makes its presence felt
when the tenure of office is brief and elections fire.

What Il Eorp

NO WORD has come from "RED" HILL, from the
tall uncut, where he has been sojourning for
the past ten days, SO there is no direct information
concerning the collapse of a certain political move
ment designed to further the CAREY interests in the
primary campaign.
The coarseness of RED's work was not only his
own undoing but that of his master also.
From various quarters of the state inquiry has
come as to just what RED's recent activities have to
30 with exploiting the states resources and Undue
ing desirable immigration. The answer is: Nothing
at all.

without regard to the nationality of

These experts must have forgotten
hos portions OF international law
based upon numerous treaties and
conferences Of the past which deal
with the rights and limitations of each
nation on the high seas.
The term high seas has been ac-
cepted by practically every civilized
nation as relating to water outside the
three mile limit of each country and
absolutely free TO all. Our three mile

selves. and il we are at liberty to
