Cost Of Wymoing
Gas Outrageous
Continued from Page "

That bill was juggled from one
committee to another. 1t was held up
and delayed in one way or another,
so that it did not appear before the
committee of the whole until the last
day of the session, and then plastered
with amendments that killed the eff
fects of it deader than q mackeral,
and in that way became a law. One
would not think it possible that such
things could happen in an honest, in
telligent, Wyoming Republican legis-
lature.
l warned the legislature at that
time that if it allowed that measure
to be murdered in that way 1 would
sur tell the people of Wyoming about
it before another election took place,
and that is not the only thing that
can be told to the humiliation of the
nth legislature.
OF course Bill No. 126 covered
much more than gas. 1t developed
that Wyoming made sugar, made
from Wyoming beets could be bought
Wholesale in Omaha, after paying
freight, for considerable less than it
could be bought for in Wyoming. One
must go to Denver to buy Wyoming
made glass, and in many instances
the consumers of coal can buy Wyo-
ming coal in Nebraska for less money
in Wyoming. So you see just what
big interests House Bill 126 ran up
against, and just where the welfare
of the people of Wyoming was side
tracked.
When you back your flivver up to
the pump and have the tank filled
with gas or when your kids dip a
spoon in the sugar bowl you may
know to whom you are paying a tax,
and a most damnable one. Now it's
up to the people of Wyoming. If
they want to submit to such things
tamely and make no protest, they are
entitled to no sympathy. They should
take their medicine and say they like
it. A bill to tax gas a cent a gallon
met with no opposition whatever, and
was one of the few measures that the
pettifoggers allowed to go through
without the question of constitution
atty being raised, but when it come
to a proposition to save to the tax
payers much more than that it was
a horse of a different color.

Tells of Plans For
Buffalo Bill Statue
CONTINUED from paee one)

CONTINUED from page one)
statue of Buffalo Bill, was a small
thumbnail model possibly two feet
long and a foot high. Later the work
was elaborated and enlarged, until
finally a life sized model was erected
that was conceded by art critics to be
worthy of the bronze, and typical to
the last degree of the man whose
name had become indelibly linked
with the fronties and western life.
Mrs. Whitney has put her whole
heart and soul into the making of
this statue, and the successful casting
Of the finished work win be the real
ization of her dream, that of a Won
derful statue of q wonderful man.
Mr.. Ross, who does all of the des-
igning of the bases for Mrs. Whit
ney's sculpture, is delighted with the
location for the statue, and was car
ried away with the simple and de
lightful western hospitality which
greeted him on every hand, and the
cooperation and assistance renderer
him in the preliminary work on the
site of the statue.
Russell Kimball will assist and work
with Mr., Ross in the work of con-
struction of the base.
Mr.. Ross was an interested specta-
tor at the Stampede, and expressed
himself as bing carried away with the
splendid exhibitions of horsemanship
and the virile western spirit as typi-
fled at the Stampede. He spoke of
the Stampede as n of the most won
derful spectacles that it had ever been
his pleasure to witness.
The collection of bronzes by Mrs.
Whitney that are on exhibition at the
Library are attracting many visitors,
among them being many artists and
connoisseurs who proclaim the ex-
hibit to be one of the most notable in
the country. The bronze portraits of
the soldiers at once arrest the atten-
ton b ythe wonderful action and
dramatic strength shown in every
line, and the entire collection is one
of unusual interest and charm.

The party are making the trip in

their journey from home to Cody
having consumed just 80 days of their
time. The scout master, Mr.. Cope

The party loaded UP with supplies

days, leaving by way of Jackson Hole.
