The last issue of Judge contains
an editorial upon the Wiard-Hodge
case which we republish with much
pleasure, not to say gusto, since it
reflects u own viewpoint and sup
ports our contention that the story
OF the efforts of the prohibition
forces to save their face is worthy of
a place in Joe Miller's Joke Book.

TWO CENT GAS TAX
URGED BY Leland
Sum of ST GOO, 900 Needed BY
State Highway Board To
Maintain And Build
More Roads

Wyoming should provide at least
$780, 900 a year for the maintenance
and construction of roads, according
to the third biennial report of the
State Highway commission. To raise
this sum State Highway Superinten-
dent l.. L. Laird recommends that he
next Legislature provide for a tax OF
2 cents a gallon on all gasoline sold
in the state. a tax of one mill on all
property in the state. the application
of all automobile license fees above
$500 0 to maintenance of highways
and an immediate appropriation OF
$500, 900 for the highway department
"The question of funds to finance
the future work of h department
already has beer presented to the
governor through the budget report"
says the commissions report, which
lists the highway departments an
nual needs as follow: For mainten-
ance, $3.50. 1000; for construction ST.
900, 900; for property. $4,000
The report continues.
The request for maintenance funds
is based upon the minimum amount
WlllCH III dutquatciN INV
mileage of constructed projects, which
must not be allowed to deteriorate
and which must be properly maintain
ed or lose the federal aid funds avail
able for further construction, and
to maintain the sections of connect
ing highways between constructed
projects.
1.-THE request for construction
funds is based upon the amount neces
sary to carry on construction at ap-
proximately the same rate as DUR
the past two years. to meet federal all
funds available and to permit I
present organization to continue in
approximately its present form Of op-
Grafton. The department organfz
ton as now constituted is operating
successfully and economically and
any material reduction in funds avail
able or requested would require a com
plete reorganization with a resulting
decided increase in overhead expense.
TT is highly desirable that the de-
partment be placed on permanent H.
nancial basis at the next session OF
the legislature in order that the per-
sonnet OF the department may feel
that this is a going concern and
that changes will not have to DO
made due to lack OF funds but only
to secure greater efficiency. 1t Is
important for the further reason that
construction work should be planned
some time in advance, due to the
amount of time required to complete
surveys. prepare proper plans and
specifications. allow the federal engi-
neers to make their inspection and
review the plans and specifications.
and allow ample time for advertising
the work and securing bids.
1.-THE following financial program IL
therefore submitted for recommended
ton to the legislature:
"a License fees on motor We
hicle passenger cars to be fixed a.

or less. $1,000; on cars weighing 1000

Mrs. H. Otto, Sr., Passes
Away Friday Evening
Deceased was Resident of Sank Gen.
tire and Vicinity Over 80 Years
Buried Monday.

lCatharine C1aussen Otto was born in
Holstein Ger, Feb. %, 1858. She came
to Vail Iowa in 1881 and was married.
to Henry F. Otto at Dennison, Iowa,
Aug 27, 1882. She came with her fam
lily to Minnesota 1890 and to Sank
Centre in 1901. She had one daughter
who died in infancy, and four sons,
Frederick, August, Henry and William,
all Living. There are five, grand
sons, Harvey, Chester, Donald and
Roswell. Besides her husband, sons,
and grandsons, the following sisters
survive: Mrs. August letter, Holstein;
Mrs. Bertha Peter, Germany; Mrs.
Maria Buchorn, Germany; August
Claussen Germany.
She died as midnight March 9, 1923,
after long and tedious illness of
many months. The funeral was from
afternoon, the pastor, Rev c. S.
Sparkes, officiating.
Mrs. Otto's greatest interest in life
was her home. With a family of boys
she attained her ideal of having in
her home whatever would attract and
hold her sons; where they would al
ways be Influenced by her noble teach
insg. Her sons and her sons friends
were welcomed by her in kindly
generous way; later her sons families
were included in the home circle, and
were always part of it. Openness
and honesty she held to be the cardi-
nal virtues. No member of the family
should say or do anything that could
not be freely discussed in the family
circle. The family was a unit; there
must be no secrets to divide it.
Her home was always ready to re-
ceive friends or relatives. She was
the gentle magnate who drew many
different personalities to her and who
inspired new confidence. She drew her
grandsons to her by kindly and in
spring teaching. She loved flowers
for they were an added attraction to
her home. Many of her friendships be-
friends will remember her patient gen
tlenss coaxing roses to their greatest
perfection, or setting out new and
lovely plants sent by distant friends.
She was a stole in her illness, lock-
ing her lips on any expressions of suf-
| fering or pain, lest her sorrowing fam
| lily suffer too much in her suffering
Patient, and silent endurance, child
like simplicity, kindly frankness, and
unselfish, self -sacrificingr love TO
her family were her outstanding char
acteristics. Truly her sons and grand
sons call her Observation-Disclosures

St. Cloud Promoter Must
Go to Federal Prison
United States Supreme Court Refuses
to Review Appeal of S. C. Pan
dalfO, Convicted i'm 1920.

Chicago, March 12.-Samuel C..
Pandolfo, who was head Of the Pan
Motor company of St. Cloud, Mimi,
must serve sentence Of 10 years in
Leavenworth prison and pay fines
aggregating to $4,000 as a result of
the United States supreme court re-
fusal today to review his case.
Pandolfo was convicted in district
court here several years ago of US
ing the mails to defraud in the sale
of stock in the company. Although
the company had plant att st. Cloud
and actually had engaged in manu-,
facture, the government charged in
the trial that only a few trucks and
cars were made and that stock sell
ing had been the principal occupa-
ton rather than manufacture, of the
company and it's agents.
Stock in the company was sold in
many states and Pandolfo made a
vigorous fight for freedom, carry,
ing his case to the circuit court of
appeals here and then to the sup
RENE court.
He was fined $1,000 on each of
four counts and sentences to serve
five years ON each of the four counts
but the court orders that the sem
tence on counts one and two should
run concurrently and that likewise
the sentence on counts three and five
should run concurrently.
o.
The Federal Court Wednesday issued
an order granting Pandalfo an extern
sion until April 1 to get his business
affairs in shape. Unless plans are
changed he will enter Leavenworth
shortly after the first of the month.

The new lighting rate will be IL
cents per kilowatt for first 100 kilo-
watts and cents for over 100 kilo-
watts with a discount of l cent per

The day power rate is left the same

The city commission has made an
investigation of rates offered by other
municipalities in the state and the
new rate here compares with the low
est offered by any steam operated
plant. A reduction in rate here was
made possible by saving in the fuel
cost brought about by the improve
ments made the past year at the pow
er plant and the prospects of a lower
price of coal.-Melrose Beacon.
