PEOPLE TO CARRY
ON FIGHT AGAINST
SUNSHINE DAM
Petition of Remonstrance Was
Signed by 100 Land Owners
at Recent Meeting

There raj a meeting held at Burl-
of the Greybull Valley to demonstrate
against the steps taken by the
Greybull District in trying to force
upon the people a bonded indebteGr
ness of $500, 600, or nor Here 1
may say it can easily be more as the
law does not limit the bonding-the
only limit is the value of the property
bonded, and the promoters are now
trying to get a universal bond, one
that will hold the most valuable pro-
perty to the last cent.
The meeting was supposed to have
been called by the Board Of Com
missioners for the purpose of getting
the true sentiment of the people. and
l will say that at this meeting there
was no doubt as to the feeling in
general against the project and its
promoters.
Also, at this time, there was a
petition signed by more than 100 of
real home builders of the Valley,
asking the Commissioners that they
take steps to stop this wanton waste
of the peoples money.
Although the meeting was called
by the Commissioners not n OF
them was present. Why? Because
they know they are not working for
the interest of the people or for the
good of the community.
II they are not working in the In
terest of the people who pay them,
then who? They must know that they
are slowly and surely driving the
home builder from his home by bond
ing it for more than he can ever hope
to pay. They are forcing him to give
up the property and home he has
built and turning him and his family
out penniless upon the world. The
Court will rule that all this was done
under due process oflaw.
1 Believe that there will some day
be a reckoning for the man who
brings about such conditions. Who
knows but that he also may become
the victim of circumstances.
1 talked to a great many who sign
ed the petition asking for an lrriga-
ton District. The majority of them
we're misinformed as to actual cost
and conditions, and were led to be-
lieve that the petition vas only to see
how many would, be In favor Of a
reservoir. not once thinking that they
were signing a judgement against
their own homes and making 1t pos
sible for a bunch of spectators TO
carrv ont a scheme which would sep
arate them from their properties
forever.
Some of the papers have tried to
make the most of the dismissal OF
the cas- Of Mann VS. Greybull Irriga-
ton District. The case was dismiss
ed by my own action, NOT because Il
have quit fighting this unjust and
unreasonable law. but because since
longer efel the necessity Of carrying
longer feel the necessity OF carrying
on the fight alone.

w. B. Ross will be inaugurated
governor of Wyoming on New
Years day, as provided by law.
There will be no postponement Of
"a hours because Of the fact that the
date fixed by the statutes falls this

The question OF whether or not a
transaction taking place on a Sunday
or holiday is legal has been raised
unofficially. but 1t has been agreed,
it was annunced Tuesday that even
though contracts and like documents
are not binding if signed at such
times, this provision does not extend
to matters like inaugurations.
Therefore the ceremony will take
place Monday morning, January l
and will be followed by an inaugural

Paint Creeker $4,000 for % miles.
Just as long as the people will stand
for such things we will have them.
Joe Ganguet served and delivered
his ballots for $3.50, about 9 miles
closer that the Paint Creeker, with
a difference of $16.40 in favor of the
Paint Creeker.
We all know hat there is some
thing desperately wrong with COM
m~issioners who allow such bills. l
believe it is right to pay a living
price for services rendered. but nall
that money would have been a big
price for delivering the ballots at
Paint Creek.
High taxes are keeping lots OF peo-
pie out of this country and high
are going to bankrupt a lot OF us
who are alredy here IL a little eco
nomy is not ~practiced.
The result of the election was
phoned to Mr.. Schwoob and should
that not have been enough without
paying s16.40 extra to get the ballots
rushed in? II the candidates want
to pay to have the ballots rushed in
that is all right but for the County
Commissioners to have wasted our
money this way is outrageous, especi
ally when SO many people are mort
gagged for all they are worth, when
scores are in the hole with no chance
Of getting out.

The balance Of responsibility should

parties would be required to contrib

1ty for married couples was one Of the
items in the Maryland statesman's
bill of rights.
The other side of the case, which
has long been agitated, should be pro-
v1ded for with equal fairness. That
is. the wife whose contribution to the
home is a full days homework should
receive her just share of the family
income
This is one of the questions arising
in connection with the equal rights
problem. Another was brought into
court the other day by a man of sew

left him, be ordered to pay him ali

Should Men Wear Pink?
At meeting of group of strong
jawed college men the other night,
this question of clothes and appear
ance was uppermost. 1t was seriously
debated whether pink, baby blue and
lavender should be regarded as unman-
ly when displayed in shirt patterns and
ribbon suspenders. There was a mo-
restricted to strong colors, such as
royal purple, maroon, green and burnt
orange, but no decision was reached.
Whiskers were also suggested, but
they were denounced as unhygienic
and messy looking.
The little meeting Of the advance
guard of masculinity had some trouble
in finding safe territory on which to
plant their banner of defiance. Girls
are wearing Knockers, mems shoes

equivalent-short hair, and mannish
overcoats. 1t is even whispered that

recent changes in that of woman. Up
to now, men have been standing back

Bill Of Rights For Men
The first political agitator for the
cause of men burst upon the horizon
only few days ago when a Maryland
senator presented a bill of rights for
men to the Maryland legislature. This
bill, we. understand, was taken more
or less as joke. But the pioneer COM
forted himself no doubt with the re-
Election that all great ideas are apt
to be ridiculed at first and that he
will some day be famous as the father
of a cause.
1t is obvious that with the status
of women changing so rapidly the po-
sition of men must change to fit in
with the new regime. So far men
have met the changes caused by wom-
ems progress by stepping back, and
to certain extent this was fair
enough, seeing that men had been

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
Growing aestheticism on the part of
callow young beaux has driven into
the open some he-men who feel that
man must not be allowed to sink into
effeminate daintiness. The strong
jawed strong-fsted male must be en-
couraged rather than scorned, they
say. The fact that man can not enter
a lobby gracefully nor wear cigarette
with the proper nonchalant expression
of the lower lip should not be neces-
sarily regarded as handicap. 1t may
be sign of virility.
That certain college athletes, young
men who have strength and prize it,
are in the front rank of the rouged
and perfumed dandies with hairnets
one of the last straws by the back-to-
manhood element.
That is not, of course, the first era
in history in which young dandies have
taken to perfunled hair or even to
touched-up features. The patch and
wig of a century or two ago are still
remembered. How to promenade grace
! fully in ballroom was as important
and desirable an accomplishment for
| a man in those days as it was for a
woman. But now, with society in a
more frank and simple state, the end
less coquetting and masquerading OF
cavalier days in out of place, the he
men say.
| The tendency of women to dress
/ like men is regarded as a further
cause for alarm The fear is express
ed that soon women will present q
more manly appearance than men, and
after that the race may see return
/ to a matriarchal age with women as
warriors, rulers and judges of the ma
tions.
Because of these tendencies ant
prophecies, men in several colleges are
being urged to distinguish themselve:
