SHERIDAN JOURNAL NEW
PAPER AT SHERIDAN

The Sheridan Journal. a weekly
newspaper to be published in the
city of Sheridan, made its first bow
to the Public on September 3rd, and
was introduced to the reading public
as a sixteen-page paper filed with
current news and a generous patron
age of advertising. The new pub
location is the h%andiwork of C. Watt
Brandon, former editor of the Sher-
idan Post, who is an editor and
publisher of considerable prominence
in the state, and for several years
was editor of the Sheridan Post,
the daily paper of that city.
Mr.. Brandon in bringing out his
new publication as a weekly frankly
states that he does not propose to
keep it in that class any longer than
is necessary to build up an organ
ization for the issuance of a semi
weekly, and the semi-weekly will no
doubt give way to a daily before
many months have passed. The
new Journal plant is made up of
mostly new equipment, and is one
of the most modern print shops in
the state.

YAKIMA CANUTT SAYS
BUFFALO VERY TAME

Yakima Canutt, the wild west per-
former of the Hal Roach movie
company, who attended the buffalo
roundup in Yellowstone last week
and bulldogged a buffalo or two,
claims that the once noble king of
the plains is altogether too tame
for the sport of b~ulldogging. Yak
ina Canutt is said to have thrown
one buffalo, a two-year-old, which
never moved after the movie actor
threw it to the ground. dying from
some cause or other. A second and
larger animal was b~ulldogged, and
went over easily after having been
stopped by the wild west performer.
Yakima Canutt states that the
buffalo does not have the fighting
spirit which dominates in the Texas
long horn critters, and that after
they are one placed under control,

PREDATORY ANIMALS MUST GO TO ASSURE
SUCCESS OF WYOMING FARMERS AND STOCKMEN
Margaret Hayden

c. ]. Bayer of Cheyenne. leader
of predatory animal control, arrived
in Cody on Tuesday, after a very
satisfactory roundup of coyotes with
Ranger Fred Thomas on the Grey
bull where these animals have been
dealing wholesale destruction to
livestock. poultry and game. The
particular taste of these predatory
animals of late has been turkeys,
the additional crop that has meant
so much to the ranchman's wife and
children. not only in the way of di-
rect receipts. but in ~lessening the
grasshopper pest.
Mr.. Bayer has thought out his
work from both the economic and
standpoint, and feels that
the control of the predatory animals
is the lesser of the two evils, the
destruction of the fiercer that the
gentler animals may survive. He
estimates hat there are at least
between $4,000 and 10000 coyotes
in Wyoming, and while they are
supposed to feed upon rodents, their
preference is for mutton, deer and
young calves. The department. says

ent appropriations to keep up with
the demand from ranchers for as
sistance in protecting their fiocks.
He stated that in districts where this
work has been carried out. the lamb
crop has been 1873 per cent. Here
tofore it has been necessary for
several outfits to hire a man to
watch at night. but of late it has
not been necessary.
Coyotes are also deadly enemies
of the sage grouse. robbing their
nests and destroying their young.
In protected areas these birds are
coming back.
While in Cody Mr.. Bayer arranged
for assistance in coyote control at
the Bob Hopkins ranch, upon notice
from Mrs. Hopkins that she had
just suffered the loss of 80 turkeys
this year. Two years ago over half
of their turkey crop was destroyed
by coyotes.

reduce taxation can readily be seen
by an examination of the record of
the past.
The present effort to repeal the
exemption permitted under the xisting
incom tax law to those who pay a tax
upon personal property is a particular
example of this principle that new
taxes almost invariably in the long
run become additional taxes.
When the income tax was adpoted
it was urged in its behalf that it
would replace to a large degree the
personal property tax, and for three
different sessions of the Legislature
the State Tax Commission recon-
mended that the personal property
tax should be entirely repealed. Now.
however, the tax experts come before
the Assembly, not with request that
the personal property tax be dropped
but that it be continued, and in addit-
ion to it an income tax be- collected.
Many thousands of farmers who are
not now payers of the income tax
will become so under the proposed
law which will not permit live stock
farm equipment, automobiles and
other personal belongings to be used
as a deduction from gross income.
Wisconsin has added from year to
year increases in ola taxes, and adj
ditional methods of raising funds. Yet
all Of these new taxes, and increases
in old ones, have been consistently
swallowed up in increased cost of
government. The present case will be
no exception, and if it is adopted it
will hardly be on the statute books
before new cries will be heard for
some further means of increasing
the public revenues.
trust that the Legislatures will
have the good sense to recognize that
the public will not be misled into
swallowing without protest any
sugar-coated increase in their taxes.
The way to reduce Wisconsin taxes
and to serve Wisconsin taxpayers, is
to reduce expenditures not to devise
new methods of getting more money
to spend.

PARTY PLATFORM AND
NOMINATE CANDIDATES


A plan for pre-primary party con-
yentions long agitated in this state
was introduced in the legislature
last week by the assembly elections.
committee l
Under the bill, each party conven.
ton would be held not later than the
second Tuesday in July of general
election years and would be compos-
ed of one delegate from each election
precinct
The convention would adopt the
party platform, choose presidential
electors in presidential years, pick a
state central committee, and nomi-
nate candidates for state offices.
Minority delegates also would have
the privilege of adopting minority
platform and submitting a minority
list of candidates to the primaries.
The convention nominees would be
| placed on the party ticket without
any circulation of nomination papers
In case of majority and minority no.
minees, the candidates would go on
the ballot with those designations.
The majority and minority platforms
also would be submitted to the party
voters in the primary and the one
receiving the most votes would be
the party platform.
Nothing in the bill would prevent
other candidates from placing their
names on the ballot by the present
method of petition.
The delegates to the convention
would be chosen at the April cleo.
ton The second highest candidate
in each precinct would be the alter
nate delegate foI that precinct.

duced a bill abolishing the party cir
Gle for presidential electors and re
quiring the voter to mark the name
