FOREST PROTECTION WEEK
A PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, it is essential to the
continued comfort, welfare and pros
perity of the people fthe United
States that abundant forests, widely
distributed and maintained in con-
dition thigh productiveness, befor-
ever wisely conserved as one OF our
greatest natural resources; and
WHEREAS, because of our con-
stantly increasing need for wood and
other forest products, together with
our past failure to provide for refof-
estation, we ar drawing upon our
supplies of timber four times as fast
as they are renewed, through growth
and
WHEREAS, the most formidable
agency of forest destruction and pre-
vention of reforestation is fire and,
of the fires which annually devastate
vast areas, four-ffths are ascribed in
origin to human agencies and virtual
ly all may be controlled and made
innocuous through prudence, care and
vigilance;
THEREFORE, /, CALVIN COO
LIDGE, President of the United
States, do urge upon the Governors
of the various States to designate and
set apart the week Of April 21-27,
1924, as Forest Protection Week, and
wherever practicable and not in con-
flict with State law or accepted Gus
toms, to celebrate Arbor Day within
that week, also urge all citizens,
either in association or as individuals
all schools, and the press of the land
to give common thought to the pro-
techtion of our forests from fire, to
the end that, in the future as in the
past, these forests may supply US
with wood, protect the purity of our
streams, and otherwise serve the peo-
pie of the United States.
In Witness Whereof, I have here

WHO PAYS FOR OUR STATE
ROADS?

In 1920 the voters ratified an a.
mendment to our State b Constitu-
ton authorizing the State Legisla-
ture to provide for the issuance of
$5O,000,000 State Road Bonds for the
purpose of constructing system of
State roads connecting every county
seat in the State; $3o,00D,O00 Of
bonds have been authorized and sold.
The interest on the bonds already
sold wial amount to $1,414,00 an
nually. The amount required by law
to be set aside each year in a. re-
demption fund for the payment of
these bonds as they mature amounts
to $1,200,000. This means an an
nual payment of $2,614,000 each
year in connection with the bonds
already issued.
When. this bond issue was first
discussed in this State the taxpay-
ers were very apprehensive that the
interest and redemption charges
would materially increase their
taxes. So far all interest and re-
demption charges on all bonds au-
thorized and issued have been paid
from this source amounted to ap-
proximately S2,700,0O0 for 1923. The
&c tax on. gasoline for 1923 amount
ed to at least $1,200,000 making to-
tai revenue from these two sources
of $3,900,000 with which to pay all
charges against these bonds. 1t is
estimated that the 1924 revenue re-
ceived from thes two sources will
be very materially in creased over
that of 1923. There, it can be
readily seen that the revenue from
thes two sources will not only be
sufficient to take care of the interest
the interest and redemption charges
on the entire $4,000, 900 of bonds as
they are issued, but that there will
be nice surplus for maintenance
purposes, provided all of the revenue
from these two sources is applied as
indicated above. If this is done,
there will be necessity for the tax,
payers of the State being required to
pay one dollar property tax in con-
nection with this s50,000,0o0 bond
issue. The only expense the tax
payers will be called upon to pay will
be a small yearly tax for the up
keep of the roads after they are
ready for use.

AND GOVERNOR DON'T KNOW
Phase of West Virginia War on
Unionism.
BY H. r. JONES

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. H.
Sixty-one years ago West Virginia
from the Southern Confederacy be-
cause its people would not stand for
black slavery. But today the same
state will not turn its hand to liber
ate white.
West Virginia enslaves its miners
by a perpetual war on unionism.
The whims of the coal barone are the
laws of the state. They chose all
public officials and the latter, know
ING the source of their rise to politi
cal honor, crafty the wishes and
grant the demands of their masters.
For two years 5000 men, women
and children-striking union miners

Cullen Market Has
Large Buffalo, Meat
Sale Starts Saturday

Rawlins residents are indeed for
innate this year in having the chance
to secure buffalo meat for their
Christmas dinners. On Tuesday of
this week the Cullen Commercial
Meat Market received a 800 pound
buffalo from the United States Ma
tional Bison Herd located at Moyise,
Montana. The meat will be placed
on the market on Saturday. the goth.
Years ago when the white man
first began to settle In Wyoming, the
plains were covered with these ami
mails. Although the meat was al
Ways considered as very choice, the
animals were in such abundance that
they were killed for mere sport and
the meat was permitted to spoil. In
time very few buffalo were left. The
government saw that in a very short
time the animals would be extinct SO
a law was passed which protected
the buffalo from the hunters gun.
1t has only been in the past few years
that the various herds in the United
States have become over-stocked
and it is for this reason that a few
animals have been sold to several
meat markets in the western states.
Although there has been a great
expense In getting this animal the
meat will be sold at a reasonable
price and there is no doubt but that
Rawlins residents will take advan-
tage Of the Cullen Meat Market Of
fering.

about four o'clock Monday afternoon.
Rawlins people were greatly lncon-
v~enienced because of the valve break
n on Sunday morning any number
OF persons drove their cars down to

suffered because all residents had
