BILL To SUBMIT
TO
STATES VOTERS
IS INTRODUCED
Natrona's Delegation in
Legislature Springs a
Surprise in Proposal to
Move Statehouse.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. %
-Casper's delegation in the
lower house of the Wyoming
legislature sprung a surprise
today by offering a bill pro
viding for the removal of the
state capitol from Cheyenne to their
city. If passed., the measure will put
the question up TO the voters in 1926.
Amendment OF the Wyoming state
constitution IS involved.
At the close of n prolonged Discus
sion the senate today approved, with.
out n dissenting voice. tho bill to
ratity the Colorado river compact
without reservations. Several sena-
tors thought further consideration
should be given, but on tho other
hand 1t was argued that nothing
would DO gained by delay. and thnt
Wyoming would get n square deal
under tho provisions of tho treaty,
and this Wow finally prevailed.

battle that viii not be downed until
the voters OF Wyoming express their
decision. is is reliably reported. For
several years Casper has been asked
by organizations In the Basin coun.
try n elsewhere to make a fight to
secure tho capitol but on every occa-
sion the movement has been dis
couraged until such n time rs this
city would be able to hold forth in
ducements to the state at large.
Throughout tho state there IL q
general sentiment that the capitol
should be moro centrally located, so
as to be more accessible to all points.
Railroad connections here already Of
fer the best advantages and with as
surnnce that a north and south limo
from Sheridan through Casper will
be built at a future date, the oil met
ropolis will become the hub OF more
lines and any other point IN the state.
There is available an excellent site
for h capitol just south OF tho city
on and purchased from tho state by
the Community Extension corpora
tion and an elaborate park system for
this district already has been mapped
out.
Cheyenne has been the capital OF
Wyoming since the state was organ
lied and owes much OF its political
and material Affluence to this fact.
The benefits to Casper from such a
change would DO far.reachinR and a
determined campaign to bring the
state house here nay be expected two
