WM. EARL PIFER DIES

of the Frick-Reid Supply company
with offices in Rawlins, who died
at the Memorial Hospital Monday

Houston, Texas, where funeral ser

Mr.. Pifer was 33 years old at the
time of his death. He came to
Rawlins from Tulsa last April. as
Stunning charge of the Frick-Reid Of

relatives were able to be with him

in the local hospital.

E. Pifer. his mother, and one

of this number came from Parco, it
Is said, where owners OF cars
licensed in other states had failed
to get Wyoming licenses after taking
up their residence in this state.
1T may be said that there are
three classes of d~elinquents," said
Mr.. Perry. "Those who have Just
purchased cars and who have not
been quite prompt in attending to
their licenses. These give the state
very little trouble and do not call
for harsh treatment from state Of
ficials. Another class consists OF
residents who are trying to get by"
as long as possible without paying
their legitimate tax. These are
easily checked up, even thru a series
of sales, and do not trouble us much
in that way. But the attitude OF
the owner is usually adverse to
paying up and here we meet with
difficulty. The third class is made
up of car owners from other states
moving in and neglecting to take
up Wyoming licenses.
ANY person carrying improper
tags may be entirely ignorant
rather than willfully evading the
law. For this reason, and because
state inspectors are a new thing, we
are not being we're in the matter
of fines and the like. But from now
on anyone not having his car prop
erly covered by n bona fide license
may expect more rigid regulation"
