A Step in the Right

Senators Lee and Spear have come to the relief of tax.
payers of the state with a series of bills that at once revived
hope in the breasts of this large and important contingent OF
our population. For a time 1t had been feared that the general
economy campaigns brought to Cheyenne by both political par
ties had been abandoned, forgotten or sidetracked by the in
sistent demands of powerful predatory interests for appropria-
ttons of tax money. 1t is scarcely necessary to mention these
of those who live farthest out and get their mail only once a
week, they may be referred TO in the order Of their avaricious-
ness as the university, the highway commission and the law
enforcement commission.
The Lee Spear combination includes senate files rs, n, rs
10, so, 81 and senate joint resolution 4. These measures have
real and not false teeth in them, and their adoption OF defeat
will be a test of the sincerity of legislative members, in their
protested devotion to real retrenchment.
Number 76 reduces the limit on municipal tax levy to six
mills. Number n reduces the limit of levy in high school dis.
tricts. Number rs, reduces the general school tax levy limit.
Number 20 reduces the county tax levy limit. Number so re.
cent which is allotted to the university. This creates a fund OF
S675000 and is divided instead of applied wholly to running ex.
eights mills respectively levied for building and building main.
tenance at the university for the past ten or fifteen years.
joint resolution number 4 is a proposal for a constitutional
amendment limiting the state tax levy to three mills. 1t is four
mills at present.
Senator's Lee and Spear have taken the proper course to
enforce economy and force n showdown on their members. They
go after the source of supply that fills the barrel, rather than
appeal to the spendthrihs who hover around the bungholc.
There is only one way to economic and that's to economize.
Messrs. Lee and Spear have adopted the right course-to shut
off the supply.
So far there has been no political lineup since tho session
opened. and a program is formulated in each house and adhered
TO by the respective parties and their leaders ON economy and
rctrenchment the present legislature will go down in history
as a curiosity, also a monstrosity.
We will see Just how fast and firm the senate lines up
behind the LeeSpear program.

A proposition that the National Cap.
ital Park Commission purchase a sec
ton of the Dean estate lying along
Florida avenue between Connecticut

tablish it a s a part of the park system
of the District of Columbia was made
to the National Capital Park Commits
sion yesterday afternoon by commit
tee representing the Masons. who now
own the estate and who have changed
its name to Temple Heights. The prop
osition was laid before the commission
by David Lynn and Roe l.. F'ulkerson.
The commission informed the pro-
ponents that ii could not consider the
matter at this time because of lack of
funds, but did not indicate whether
1t would consider the matter at a
later date or not.
The commission also received a
proposition from the Methodist Epis-
copal Orphans Home, a Luthera n
church at Ellicott street and Con-
necticut avenue and from Harry
Wardman, in which the three pro-
posed to contribute Jointly $500
toward the purchase of triangle at
that point for park purposes. The mat.
ter was taken under advisement.
The commission also approved the

SUBSTITUTE SALARY
SCALE DRAWN Up
Teachers Council to Submit
Proposal to Board of Edu-
cation Today.

Despite the disapproval of Supt. Of
Schools Frank w. Ballou. the Teach
ers' Council at A special meeting last
night, adopted new salary sched-
ule for substitute teachers. The new
scale will be submitted to the Board
Of Education at its meeting this
afternoon by Miss Mary Brown.
chairman of the councils substitute
salary committee.
DR.. Ballou objected strongly to the
new schedule because il is based on
the regular teachers annual salary
for 312 days instead of $50. the mum
her of days which a teacher actually
works in a year. He warned the
council that such a schedule was
Dangerous as it brought to the
forefront the possibility of the Board
of Education requiring the teachers
to work through the Summer with
only one months vacation instead
of three, as they now enjoy.
AS adopted by the council the
schedule requires regular teachers
with a basic salary of 81 400 a year
10 pay substitutes So a day: those with
ba sic salary Of $1,000 to pay sub
sttutes $3.50 day; those with a basic
salary of $1,000 TO pay substitutes

$1,000 TO pay substitutes S. day:
those with a basic salary of 81 400 a
year to pay substitutes $3.50 a day:
and those with a basic salary of $4,000
a year to pay substitutes $3.50 day.
The council pointed ont that it ia.

the newly created staff of "A annual
paid substitutes had made the services
of outside substitutes more irregular

Several amendments to the teach.

tinue maintaining standard resale

ton with retail dealers and jobbers
was announced today by the Federal

waived its rights to present testi-

WHEELER EXPLAINS
VIEWS TO BUCKNER
Dry League Counsel viii Dis
Cuss Enforcement With
Attorney.

Prohibition enforcement will be dis
cussed by Wayne r. Wheeler, general
counsel of the Anti-Saloon Lea que.
with District Attorney BuCkner in
New York shortly. it was revealed in
a letter by Mr.. Wheeler made public
last night.
In his communication to Mr.. Buck
ner he called upon the district at
torney TO present his views on en-
forcement before congressional com
mittee. with a view to having recon-
mendations enacted into law. Mr.
BuCkner has suggested the need for
additional judges, courtroUms and as
sistants to prosecute petty prohibi-
ton violators.
Writing in reply to a communica-
ton from Mr.. Buckner, Mr.. Wheeler
said:
Let me make it clear. first. that
approve of your efforts to enforce the
law against the big liquor law viola
tors in New York Second. l approve
of any plan of procedure under which
United States district attorney
takes the greater offenders first.
Third. I favor any legislation that
will bring about better enforcement
of the national prohibition act through
additional judicial machinery by
which justice may be more speedily
administered
Addressing himself directly To Mr.
BuCkner's reputed stand concerning
minor prohibition infractions. Mr..
Wheeler asserted that his criticism
with reference TO your policy. as re-
peatedly published in the press. is
not that you could not reach every
case Of liquor law violation i'm New
York, but that you announced that
you would not prosecute a certain
class of liquor law violators."
Your failure to deny these inter
views" he said. naturally mad
these so-called minor offenders feel
that they were immune from prosecu-
ton and it tended, especially in a
State like New York with no State
code, to embolden liquor criminals"

Rev. DR.. Charles F. Aked of Los

RockefellerS church and considered
one of the most brilliant preachers
in the country, said in an address
last night at the First Congrega tiona
Church that Mark Twain is more
highly appreciated in England TODAY
than he Is in America. because to
Americans he is only a humorist
while in Great Britain he is con-
sidered remarkable philosopher as
well.
He also said that there is less in =
dividual thinking and free speaking
among Americans today than among
any other people in the world. but
added that Mark Twain was an ex-
ception to the rule. AS he was in
tensely individual in what he though,
and what he wrote.
When will the great America

speaker. 1T has been written" SAID

The author had wonderful insight

he is appreciated more in England
