THE "SPOILs OF WAR"
Washington Correspondence

huSuilEtbl
In all the talk about German repair
stions and the ability of the allies to
pay their debts to the United States
(Which they insist on linking together
although they have no relation in fact) +,
we hear practically nothing of the huge
accretions of territory that Great Brit
ain and France obtained as their share
OF the spoils of war. These new acqui-
sitions are located in all parts of the
world and are politely called imam
dates" but for all practical
are actual possessions of the countries
that now govern them. By far the
most extensive and valuable of the for
mer German colonies are in Africa,
and are known as German southwest
Africa, ~Tanganyika German East AT
rica), Togoland, and the Kameruns.
About four-fifths of those areas fell to
she lot of Great Britain, and practical
ly all the remainder to France. Con
sideration of their potential and de
veloped wealth is of vital Importance
in determining the ability of those ma
tions to meet their obligations to the
United States. Those colonies are sub
santially similar in climate, natural
resources and character of population,
and for the purposes of this discussion
viii be considered together.
They have a combined area of a31,
AGO square miles. equal to all of the
United States east of the Mississippi
river about S.OOO.0 900 natives and D.
500 whites. Their annual export trade
is about S22. 100000. and their i'm
ports reach S24.OOo,00O. Their varied
list of products gives an idea of their
fertility and their tremendous posi-

The next annual convention of the
Wyoming Woolgrowers' Association.
scheduled for August /. .. and 3. will
be held at Rawlins. according to n de
cision reached by the executive com
mittee of the association at n meeting
held in Cheyenne. The invitation to
hold the convention there was extend
ed by the Rawlins Board Of Trade.
Many important problous Of the
sheep men were discussed at the Chey-
enne meeting.
IL Is the desire of the woolgrowcrs
that the state constitution he so amend
ed as to allow n levy upon all live
stock for protection from predatory
animals. 4 somewhat similar amend
ment has been voted ON before but was
defeated by Il small margin of votes.
The former amendment was somewhat
broader in scope as it was made to in
cludc protection, inspection and indem-
nifty.
The wOolgrowers declared them
serves III lhNOf oI n Din thNt would
protect trappers from theft of their
traps and catches. The hill now pro-
posed would provide a penalty of twu
years in the p%enitentiary for all those.
found guilty Of stealing traps or trap
catches.
The proposed Herd Law" was
thoroughly discussed by the executive
ana Legislative committees but no en-
dorsement was given. Although there
were n number present who were IN
favor Of the proposed herd law the
committee decided that It would not
he proper for the association to On.
dorsc the hill.
The executive committee levied an
assessment of lc per head OF sheep
owned by members Of the Wyoming
woolgrowcrs' Association. which levy
would be- used for expenses Of the or.
g%nnization.

Would Amend Compensation Laws.

'"'s
Senate File No. 2S, introduced last
Friday by Senator w. w. Daley OF
Carbon county. provides for numerous
amendments of the workmen's compen-
sation act. but does not provide for
the differential scale of assessments
advocated by many employers and
recommended by the workmen's com
pensation department of the state gov
crnment. Whether Il bill would pass
to provide for the placing of the great
or burden of financing the compensa-
ton fund upon employers engaged in
extra-hazardous occupations is not
certain.
The Daley bill provides for the cur
tailment of the greed of physicians
and surgeons who have fattened ON
the compensation fund heretofore. 1t
gives the state treasurer authority to
fix the fees Of such claimant at a rea-
sonable charge. The disability benefit
is increased to $1,000.
