Hay Says Taxes
Must Come Down
Too Many Bureaus And Super.
fIuous Officials, Candidate or
Governor Declares.

John w. Hay declared in a recent
interview that the delinquent tax list
throughout the state was appalling.
He further said that this should not
be and that if he were elected govern
or tax reforms would have his first at
tention.
In the Casper Tribune he made
statements which touch a responsive
chord in the bosom of every property
feels like turning his holdings over
to the state and county and be done
with it.
In this connection Mr.. Hay said
that he stood for a business admins
tration with economy as its watch
word, for the elimination of function
less bureaus and commissions, and
for the consolidation of certain others,
with an increased degree Of efficiency
in management and operation
81 sincerely believe hat if these
reforms are made-and they will
should the voters of Wyoming select
me as their next governor-the reduc-
ton in taxes during the next four
years will amount to several hundred
thousand dollars" said Mr.. Hay.
elm my recent trip throughout the
state / have discovered the delin-
quent tax list to be appalling" con-
tinued Mr.. Hay. This should not be
and it is the duty of the chief execu-
tive of the state to see that such de-
plorable conditions cease to exist"
The state government should be
first In predicting retrenchment, for,
unless the state sets the pace. 1t can
not be expected that the counties and
municipal governments will be able
to lessen their operating expenses
But I do not-mean thai in shaving our
expenses we should be misery to the
extent Of reducing the efficiency OF
our public schools or allowing the pub
lie highways of the state to deterior-
ate. We must maintain a high stand
ard Of public instruction; we must
have well-built and permanently built
highways"

was first made by Col. A. w. Little
while in Cody last summe and since
then negotiations have been going on
with Mrs Whitney through Mrs. Mary
Jester Allen, a connection of Col.
Cody's, and others in New York City,
eliminating finally in the above ag-
reement.
The proposal is to make the memo
rial a big thing and something worthy
of the Boy Scouts. That itw ill be so
goes without saying since Mrs. Whit
ney is to nave carte blanche as to
size and cost.
Mrs. Whitney is also the sculptor
of a memorial monument to be erect
ed in Arlington cemetery, Washing
ton, D.. c., by the Fourth Division
The cost of this monument is $780,
900.
1t is a wonderful piece of good for
tune that has come to the little town
of Cody and one which makes amends
TO the many other things that have
passed it by.
1t may be said in passing that Mr..
Whitney, who will accompany his
wife, is the owner of the horse Whisk-
away that beat Norwich and won tho
$50, 900 purse in the Kentucky Special
at Latonia the other day.
Mrs. Whitney was formerly Ger
trude Vanderbilt and is a very rich
woman in her W right.

CANDIDATES REYNOLDS
AND SNYDER TALKED TO
CODY CLUB ON MONDAY

Mashall S. Reynolds. collector of
internal revenue for the state of wy
oming, and candidate for the Republic
can nomination Of U. S. congressman,
was in Cody on Monday, accompanied
by John Snyder Of Lowell, who is a
candidate on the same ticket for the
dice of state treasurer.
While here Mr.. Reynolds attended
the regular Monday luncheon of the
Cody Club and made a short address.
combining his remarks mostly to inter
nal revenue affairs. Mr.. Snyder al
SO talked to the Club.
Both these gentlemen made a fav-
cable impression upon the people
here as to their qualifications for the
respective offices to which they as
pire.
At this meeting It was agreed to be
the sense of the Club that the busi-
ness places in town close at 1 o'clock
during each day Of the Stampede and
reopen at the conclusion of the days
program. This has been the custom
in the past and will undoubtedly be
universally followed this year.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney and party are leaving New York
on Friday in their private. car, arriv.
ing in Cody in time for the Stampede.
Their coming means that the statue
of Buffalo Bill by Mrs. Whitney is
assured and Cody will have a great
work of art and a memorial to the
founder of the town which will stand
for all time.
The Cody Memorial Committee
signed an agreement on Monday df-
initely engaging Mrs. Whitney to sub
nit plans and make the statue.
A hundred dollars of the money
raised for the Memorial Fund at the
dance given by the Sammy girls a
short time ago was used as the con-
sideratiOn in the contract.
Mrs. Whitney is coming to study
the surroundings and look over the
ground after which she will make sew
eral designs from which the Boy
Scouts, represented by the executive
heads, Mr.. James West and Mr.. Dan
iel Beard, n the Cody Memorial
Committee may make their choice.
1t is fairly certain that the money
for the statue will be raised through
the Boy Scouts of America by some
plan which has not yet been made
public.

trip is reckoned to take about fifteen
days but DR.. Sipe said he was so
afraid he would be late for the STAN
pede that he stepped on the gas and
made it in half the usual time. DR..
sipe and his party will be here for

BEAR KILLED AND
ATE MONT. TRAPPER

Livingston, Mont, June 17.-Yei-
lowstone park rangers are trailing a
huge grizzly bear that recently killed
and partly devoured Joseph Duret' oo
an old time Montana trapper. Durets
body was found yesterday on Slough
creek. near the park. with an arm and
a leg chewed of. Signs indicated tne
bear had been caught in one OF Du-
ret's traps, but had broken o when
the trapper came by on his rounds
Horace M. Albright, superintendent
of the park, said there were evidences
of a terrible battle. and a rife, clawed
and chewed, was found near the brok-
en- trap. One shot had been fired from
the rifle and a bloody trail showed
that the man had crept a mile and a
half after receiving his injuries.

EDITOR RALPH SMITH
STILL SITTING TIGHT

The Enterprise regrets to contra
dict the repot that Editor Ralph
Smith and Miss Minnie Siiple we're
married by DR.. Blaske last week
Things are looking encouraging for
Editor Smith, however, and it is be-
Iieved that it is only a question of a
little more time and patience on Mr..
Smiths part when rumor will become
a fact.
During the visit of Editor Smith
and his Miss Siiple in Cody last week,
AL McLannahan obtained an excel
lent snapshot Of Mr.. Smith and his

talking for weeks will be on, SO get
you horse shod. Old Timer. wash

Well do her, too, for they are COM
ing from Livingston and Red Lodge,
Billings and Sheridan Bear Greek and
Paint Rock, the Crow reservation.
Thermopolis, Greybull. and all the
towns in the Basin to help us cele-
brate.
The bucking horses are here, oily
and rearing to go, the wild steers
have been gathered and Jim Corder's
mules have been chased all over Car
ter mountain and corraled finally. If
the dog-goned burros don't cray. into
prairie dog holes and hide out when
we want them, they will make the
race of their lives on Tuesday,
The running horses and relay
riders and bronze fighters are feeling
lucky and sure they will be in the
money.
Eveyone is in the right mood and
has the same feeling-to put her on
wild" and let the world know that
the West has not passed in Cody, Wy

The parade this year will be in the
morning, starting at 1890 from Wolf
Vile. Everybody that can sit a horse
is welcome in the procession. except
kids under seven or eight who will
be safer with their mothers. 1t is
hoped. too, that u friends will not
let their enthusiasm run away with
them and go TO shooting blanks under

in a procession to ride past b grand
stand and bleachers and inside he
arena where a wing of fence has been
built behind which they may stand
during the show.
1t will save confusion for the riders
to buy admission tickets in advance
a the at the Postoffice store.
The boxes and automobile stalls
will be auctioned off at the Irma Ho-
tel on Monday night. Reserved seats
and admission tickets will be on sale
at the ~postoffice store in the morn

Those having rooms to rent may
list them at the Irma but it is request
ed that they do so before Sunday, CIV

that can be accommodated together
with telephone number or location.
Anyone who wishes posters to send
to their friends may have them by
calling at the Enterprise.
The applications for street conces-
sions have been more numerous than
ever before and the indication is that
1t will look like Il street carnival
along Sheridan avenue.

Leonard was Matched TO fight
White in New YORK IN October, but
the match had to be called of be-
cause the champion had trouble
with an infected Jawbune caused by
neglecting a broken pivot tooth att
er the Tender bout. White went
along and Knocked out two or three
other iightweights to keep his hand
in.
Whites chance of winning the
title lies entirely in the possibility of
his landing a knockout punch. Leon
ard can outlook him anytime. Any
time they meet White will be lucky
to trade one punch for half dozen.
His one punch is worth about half
dozen of any other fighters wal
lops.
Al Benton Harbor White knocked
Leonard clear through the ropes
and Benny was pushed back, weak
and dazed. Just in time TO get up

was the closest shave for knock
out and lost championship that
Leonard has ever known since he
took the title from welsh.

ROGERS H0RNSBY
SET GREAT PACE
WITH BAT INl922
His Feat Great Triumph
for Right-Handers;
y Average ,401

The national league official bat
ting records, issued today, show
that numerous new records were es-
tablished in, the senior organization
during the past season. which, to-
gether with other interesting data,
are summarized, as follows.
Rogers Hornsby led glorious tri-
umph for the right hand batters by
the wonderful record that he made
for the National league and for his
own st. Louis team In the season
of 1929.
For the third year IN succession
he was at the head of the league in
batting, with an average of .401.
That percentage is the highest at
tanned by any batter since 1893,
when Ed Delehauty, Del, the
Mighty" finished on top in the Ma
tional league with a percentage of
.40S. It 10 of interest to note here
that Hornsby and Delehanty were
batters OF much the same type ald
both were right-hS1ded hitters.
Both had the same swing. Both were
line hitters. Possibly Delehanty
could bat the ball farther than
Hornsby, but not much farther. 1t
is the second instance In National
ledHut ulSNOIS lAdl n DdlsST mas itl
the league three years in succession.
Hans Wagner led in 1906-07-09 and
also in 1909
Home Run King of Year.
In addition TO winning the batting
championship OF the league, Horns
| by won the home run championship
| OF the season and also OF the league
| by making AZ home runs during the
regular schedule of games. The for
mer championship in the home run
/ batting in the National league had
/ been held by Williamson of Chica-
COS, who batted 27 home runs in
1887. No player had approached
that record in all the years subse-
quent until Hornsby reached a total
of 25 home runs comparatively early
In the season of 1922, which made
| it an assured fact that he would es-
| tablish a new home run record be-
! fore the year was over IL he re-
! tained his health. After SURPRISING

forward and eventually exceeded the
totals being made by the home run
hitters Of the American league, so
that he was the undisputed home
run champion Of 1922 when the base
bail year was completed.
Continuing IN the variety OF his
record breaking attack Hornsby
made 260 hits in 1922. which is bet
ter than the record for hits which
was made by Willie Keeler in 1897.
keeler's total was 243. For the
many years in which the Keeler
rcord had stood in the National
league, it frequently had been as
serted that no player would be likely
to surpass 1t unless a left-hand bat
ter. Hornsby did, and he is a right
hand batter. OF the $50 hits which
Hornsby made, 14s were singles, 4s
-baggers. IA three-base hits and
450, which surpassed his own record
of total of 27s the previous year
Battcd In 149 Runs.
The compilation of runs batted in
Is comparatively new in baseball.
Cravsth of Philadelphia held ths
record for the National league with
129 runs batted in during the season
of 1918, when Cravath batted the
ball over the Philadelphia fence for
home runs every now and then. IN
1922, without short fence TO help
! him, Hornsby batted in 149 runs. a
! gain of 30 over the mark set by
| Cravath. and in some respects al
most as big an achievement as his
| home run record.
The eXtra-bas hits made by him
put UP a total OF i02 for 1922. That
was helped by his big home run
record, In 1921 he batted SO extra
| base hits. Hornsby batted a home
run In 1929 with the bases filled.
| Four times he made two home runs
| in one game. All told he made a
record in the National league last
| season which is one of the biggest
| individual achievements in baseball
and he set a task for himself IN
! future years that will demand tbs
best of his ability as ball player.
In addition to Hornsby, players
who batted home runs with bases
| filled were Gowdy, Boston; Kelly,
New York: Mann, st. Louis; Wirts,
/ Chicago, and Fournier, st. Louis,
| Kelly Of New York batted two home
runs In one game three times and
so did Lee of Philadelphia, Will
liams of Philadelphia batted two
| home runs in one game twice and
| so did Russell, Pittsburgh. In his
first two times at bat, July ct, Stock
St. Louis, made home runs and
batted in six runs.
