GAME COMING DOWN
FOR THEIR ALFALFA

Carl Downing spent a few days
in town the past week after being
in the hills with dudes for several
weeks after the big game. Mr..
Downing states that the recent
storms in the mountains has driven
the game to the lower regions and
that eve mountain sheep are com
ing down from the peaks to seek
the shelter of the timber. A few
days ago he stood in the door of a
bunk house at the TIE ranch aE.l
counted 172 deer grazing in the
alfalfa fields. Mr.. Downing says
he believes the deer are becomir ?
domesticated on the Southfork and
hal even now they r almost as

FIRE In JAIL ALMOST
FATAL TO PRISONER

The firement of Cody were called
from their homes on Sunday eve
ming about $50 t o attend a fire at
the city jail, which it is said had
been started by Mart Cheney, who
was confined there at the time.
From the smoke coming from a
smoldering mattress Cheney was al
most overcome and help reached
him just in time to save his life.
From information gained Cheney
had been placed in Jail by the
marshal on account of being in an
intoxicated condition. During the
evening Chas. Arnold thought he
would go over that way and see
how he was getting along and
reached there just in time to hear
his prisoners frenzied cries for
help. Rushing to the Jail and push
ing the outer door open he was met
by a cloud of smoke which made it
next to impossible to gain entrance.
Arnold fired his pistol several times
as a call for assistance and finally
managed to get to the cell and open
the door. Cheney was found in an
unconscious condition and taken i'm
mediately to DR.. Kinney's office and
was oon revived.
Mr.. Cheney realizes that he had
a very close call and is not anxious
to again become a guest of the city.
Just how the fire started is not
known but it is very likely that it
was from a cigaret dropped into the
bed. When arraigend before Judge
Volckmer he received a fine of s13
which he Immediately paid.

SAGE CREEKERS FEED
PEOPLE OF CODY

The ladies of the Sage creek com
munity literally fed the entire Cody
community on Thursday evening of
last week at their Harvest Home
dinner, and plates were served to
approximately 400 people. The good
things to eat were in abundance and
those going out from town are loud
in their praise of the hospitality
of the people of Sage creek.
The dinner was served in the new
community building, the basement
being used for the banquet taUlcs
and a dance being given on the up
per floor. This new community
house is ideally adapted for enter
tainments of this character and
proved its worth many times owe
on Thursday night.

LAFOLLETTE AND TAXES

Republicans. patriotic Democrats
and others who do not wish to see
the prosperity of the country halted.
men and women who detest the
soviet form of government are
elated by the speeches that have
been delivered by LaFollette on his
long heralded tour for, by his talks
on the tariff, he has shown that
he is more in favor of Europe than
of u country. where high wages
rule. He has shown that he would
break down the barriers that protect
the farmer and labor. He has
shown that he would add millions
and millions of dollars in taxes by
his public ownership plan; he would
create several million more govern
ment office holders; he would take
away the protection of the courts
from the weak; he would destroy a
decent profit for the farmer. labor.
dairymen, stockgrowers, cattlemen,
beet sugar growers; in fact. he
would bring down the wages of all
industries; he would place the stan
dard of living on the level of that
in Europe.
People are now asking what laws
of a beneficial nature to the people
are on the statute booka. hat bear
La Follette's name and his most
ardent supporters dodge the ques-
ton; they would be delighted to
name some, but they cannot; he
has talked. but that appears to be
all.
La Toilette is the best friend La
Toilette has. he is the best press
agent that LaFollette has eve had.
but he cannot convince the voters.
for they realize what his socialistic
theories would do to this country
That does not appear, however, to
worry him overly much. but there.
are several dozen million American
voters who stand for the United
States first and last. A vote for
LaFollette mean voting for 10y
wages, failures and general hard
times.

COUNTY LAUNCHES
CAMPAIGN AS CANDIDATE
FOR INDUSTRIAL HOME

Park county has become one of
the active candidates in the cam
paign for the location of the pro-
posed girls industrial home, an in
stitution to be founded by the state
under a new law passed at the last
session of the legislature. The mat
ter was discussed at the Cody club
Monday and plans made for a state
campaign.
Four counties have filed as can
didates for the state institution,
namely Park county, Sheridan coun-
ty, Goshen county and Sublette
county. The three other counties
of the Big Horn basin stand pledged
to support u county as a candi-
date, and efforts are being made to
gain support from the voters over
the state. The people of the coun-
ty are urged to write to any and all
friends owe the state and enlist
their support for this enterprise.

Mr.. Sullivan is a resident of Cas-

a resident of Park county, and
later of the town of Basin. He was
had a varied experience since COM
ing to Wyoming in 1898, and knows
the needs of the state as well as
any other citizen. Born in New
Hampshire, at the age of four he
lost his father and was called upon
to assist in the maintenance of the
family at a very early age. BY
dint of hard work he got a good
education in the common schools of
his native state, New Hampshire.
AT Omaha he studied law and was
admitted to the bar. In Wyoming
he turned to agriculture and assist
ed materially in the promotion of
the Big Horn Basin Development
company, then constructed a canal
OH the Greybull river at what IL
now Germania. He still owns some
5000 acres of land in Big Horn
county and $500 acres of his land
is being cultivated, so he is a dirt
farmer of the most pronounced
type. He was three times mayor
of Basin without opposition and
now resides in the city of Casper
where he has an extensive law prac-
tice. He is connected as president
with the E. T. Williams Oil COM
pany, one of the largest of the in
dependent companies of the state.

OIL MAN TELLS WHY
SEVERANCE TAX LAW
SHOULD NOT Be PASSED

NJ. o. Danford, tax commissioner
for the Rock Mountain Gas and Oil
association. and l.. l.. Bechte. sup
erintendent of the Midwest Oil COM
pany's operations in the Big Horn
basin. were guests at the Cody club
luncheon on Monday and the former
explained the proposed severance
tax law amendment which the peo-
pie will vote upon at the general
election. and argued why this piece
OF legislation should not meet with
favorable consideration OF the tax
payers.
Mr.. Danford wen thoroughly into
the tax problems of the oil compan-
les operating in the state, and gave
figures as to the amount of taxes
which they are forced to pay at the
present time. He claims that SO
per cent of the entire state tax is
derived from the oil industry and
said that the burden of tax was al
ready all hat the industry could
justly bear. Mr.. Danford pointed
out the fact that the state royalties
tax on the gross production of OF!
was in itself a severance tax, and
took the place of the severance tax
which is levied in many of the oil
states.
He stated hat with the passing OF
the severance tax the oil opera
tons would naturally slow up a bit,
inasmuch as little new capital could
be induced to come into the state
where the tax upon the industry
was so heavy. He did not infer
hat any of the operating compan-
les would or could afford to quit
ever though they desired, owing to
the fact that their holdings here
could not be sacrificed. but that it was
a sure thing that little or no capital
would be brought into Wyoming
while other states offered much bet
ter opportunities for investment.

LAFOLLETTE STANDARD

In CODY TUESDAY MITE

A. W. Webb of Hyattville was
the principal speaker at a LaFol-

house Tuesday evening and talked
to a large crowd who had gathered
to hear what he had to say. A. B.
Campbell of the lower part of the
county and Mr.. Champlin, former
postmaster of Powell. also made
short talks.
Mr.. Webb made a very good talk,
the gist of which was that the old
government of the United States,
which has stood the test of more
than a hundred years, was "all
wrong" and inferred that the La
Toilette crowd with his hackers had
the key to the trouble and would

The weapon is the ballot. What
are we doing with it?
In each national election since
1896 the proportion of voters has
dwindled. In 1896, 80 per cent
of those qualified to vote did vote:
in 1900, 10 per cent; in 1908, &c
percent; in 1912, So per cent; in
1920, less than so per cent. Four

American democracy. Inscriptions
