W0OLGROWERS
WIN VICTORY in
M0FFAT COUNTY

The Carbon County W~oolgrowers
Association won another victory in
the COLORADO courts recently when
Judge Quinn of Moffat county held
that the law passed by the last Colo
RADIO Legislature providing for an in
spection fee Of csc per head on sheep
of non-residents which entered Colo
rado, to be unconstitutional.
The Wo%olgrowers Association was
represented by Brimmer e Brimmer
of this city and George A.. Pughe of
Craig.
The Craig Empire of last week car
ried the following account of the
case:
Once again a Moffat county Judge
has ruled as unconstitutional an at
tempt of the Colorado legislature to
tax migratory livestock. County
Judge F.. ID. Quinn last Wednesday
ruled that House Bill 333, passed by
the recent Colorado legislature, was
unconstitutional on five counts. The
case will be carried to tne state SUI
preme court by District Attorney
Ray Monson and his deputy, T. P.
Fahey.
The decision was handed down in
the case of the state against Chester
Morgan of Snake River. Morgan was
arrested April Is, after Sheriff Tom
Blevins attempted to collect the in
spection tax provided in the new law.
Morgan's case was made a test
case by the Carbon County CWyo.)
Wool Growers Association. He was
represented by Brimmer & Brimmer
of Rawlins and George a. Pughe of
Craig. These attorneys set forth
eight ways in which the Colorado
statute transgressed the United
States and Colorado constitutions.
The five objections which we're
sustained by Judge Quinn were:
/. That 1t is an attempt to collect
a double tax.
?. That it discriminates between
residents and non-residents.
3. That it is an attempt to regu-
late m between the states.
4. That 1t is an attempt to regu-
late the use OF the public domain.
8, That the exceptions within tho
law serve to make It class legisla-
ton.
It is probable that no further at
tempts will be made 10 enforce the
new law until a ruling has been
handed down by the state supreme
court
j. f. Meador. when county Judge
Of Moffat county. ruled unconstitu-
tional a migratory livestock law
passed by the legislature two years
ago.
Monat and Routt counties are the
only Colorado counties which have
attempted TO enforce the new stat
ute. Sheriff W, II. Kitchens Of
Routt county last week collected an
inspection fee OF $3.50, at 25c a head.
from Perry Morgan OF Slater. Morgan
paid under protest and the money
will be held subject 70 court de-
cislou.
The law wps framed at the re-
quest of Colorado cattlemen residing
along the Utah and Wyoming bor-
ders, who hoped In this manner to
protect their range against the in
yasIon of foreign sheep.

Batteries Stolen
From L. Waite Shop
Recovered Saturday

Undersheriff Frank Lemoine on
Saturday of last week recovered the
three batteries stolen from the Louis
Waite Battery Shop on the night of
May 18th. 1t is reported that they
mad been taken by the Gypsies who
We're in this city last week.
Inc story as 1t has been reported
is that Lemoine had an idea thai the
Gypsies were responsible for the loss
of the batteries, thus going under
this bunch he visited the Gypsies at
the tourist camp and beside one of
OF their cars he saw three new bat
teries. He asked some of them If
they sold batteries and they replied
that they didn't. He asked who the
batteries belonged to and none of
them seemed to know. Lemoine left
the camp and then returned a short
time later, however, he hid behind
one of the buildings at the camp
ground. Evidently the Gypsies sus-
picioned his motive in asking about
the batteries for they packed their
cars and left the city. the batteries
were left on the ground.
A number of robberies were re-
ported on Saturday night. Many
'ulo ONtl lHt CITY were gone
and various things were reported as
stolen.
Past experiences with the Gypsies
have been the same as happened on
Saturday night of last week. They
leave practically no money in the
city and usually steal a great deal.
Now that they are going over the
country in cars they steal tires, ac-
~cessories, drain the gas tanks and do
various other things such as were re.
ported on Saturday night last. A
good plan would be for the Laramie
sheriff to telephone the Rawlins
sheriff that a troupe of them were
coming through. The local sheriff
could then meet them at the city
limits and pilot them ON through the
city. In turn the local sheriff could
call the Rock Springs sheriff ant
they shouSd be steered on through
Rock Springs, etc. along the line
In most all instances they are a trib,
of thieves and should be given NJ
consideration.

FIGHTS TONIGHT
AT REX THEATRE
VERY PROMISING

h evening at eight o'clock the
curtain will be raised at the Rex The
atre and the residents will have the
privilege of seeing one of the best
light cards and entertainments ever
staged in this city. The main event,
a ten two minute round fight between
Leonard Malody and Verne Thomp-
son, is drawing fans from all over
the county as well as from Rock
Springs and points west and from
Laramie and points east.
The reports from the Brush (Colo.)
News, Thompson's home paper, state
that Thompson, fistic pride of Brush
and one of the cleverest little leather
pushers tina ever stepped over the
ropes of the square arena, has been
doing heavy duty for some time and
getting ready for the match with
Malody. The report stated that
Thompson trains fast and keeps fit
at all times but for the coming match
he has built from the ground up.
His ring workouts at a gym in hal
city have attracted large crowds
daily. 1t is reported that he has
100 pounds of the keenest brains and
hardest muscle ever produced under
the Colorado skies. Thompson's
manager says that he is in the best
condition he has ever seen.
Reports from Laramie state hat
Malody is in the pink of condition
and has been doing some heavy work
in h gym and on the road. Malody,
Laramie's best battler, is much better
known in Rawlins than is Thompson
and he has a number of hackers who
are backing him to the very limit,
however, the fight this evening will
be a toss up from the opening gong
to the closing one.
The closing bouts, among which
are Richie VS.. Harris, Willie Robert
son VS.. Leonard and the semi-final
Bonnie Shannon VS.. Dick Terry,
promise to be exceptionally good and
will undoubtedly attract many fans.
As another feature which will be
put on this evening at the Rex, Stan
Stanley, THE Man Who Grows" will
give a novel and unique entertain
ment. A letter received from John
Corbett, Director of Physical Educa-
ton at the University of Wyoming,
Laramie, states that Stanley put on a
physical entertainment show at that
place and the show was very enter
tanning and he CAV a good demon
stration of muscle control. The Lar
annie Republican also says that
SANKEY'S show was interesting, edu-
c~ational and entertaining in every
way. An interesting experiment In
muscle control was when they had
Coach Corbett take the pulse on n
arm and T. Jay Kelley take the pulse
on the other arm. He then asked
for two numbers between one and
twenty, and the numbers five and
eighteen were given, and Stanley
stopped his right pulse on the count
OF five and his left pulse on the
count OF eighteen.
The show at the Rex tonight is be-
ing put on by the Chamber of Com
merce and is for the benefit of the
Saratoga and Encampment railroad.

DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
SATURDAY NEXT
(By p. H. LeimDach)

AS has been the custom in the
years past, since the World War,
Fred Duncan Post, The American
Legion is arranging a program to
observe Memorial or Decoration Day
next Saturday. These services are
not held for the satisfaction of II
individual or organization and the
American Legion feels that it is the
duty of every citizen who is physical
ly able and not prevented to- be alb
sent by reason of his or her occu-
patton, to show his or her respect to
those h made the supreme sacri-
flee. 1t is this spirit that prompts
the members of the American Legion
and other eX-service men to take the
lead and ask every other citizen to-
join in with them in its memorial
services.
Ii services will begin with a
parade from the city hall on Satur-
day morning at 1000 o'clock. The
parade will terminate at the G.. A. r.
lot in the cemetery where the ritual
istic services of the Legion will be
held. The Rawlins-Parco band will
provide the music for the program.
The firing squad will be furnished
by the Legion.
There appears to be a difference
of opinion among people as to the
proper display of the American Flag
on Memorial Day. According to the
Flag Code, which code has been
adopted by over 20 patriotic orders
throughout the United States, the
flag should be displayed at half-mast
during the forenoon and at full mast
for the remainder Of the day.
To show proper respect when the
Flag passes in parade, men not in
uniform should salute by removing
the headdress and placing it al the
left shoulder. Women should salute
by placing the right hand above the
heart. The proper time to salute the
flag in moving column is at the mo-
ment the flag passes. This rule of
the flag code the Legion most earn
estly desires the citizens 10 observe.
The flag represents the nation and
not any individual or organization
and every citizen owes 1t to the ma
ton to properly respect its flag.

the Chamber of Commerce Board,
held in the office room of the First
National bank building, Robert Ehl-
ers was elected to fill the place on

since by the resignation of Peter

Ehlers has been in this city for
some time and has established him
self as ar exceptionally good business

ness man he is very congenial and
will undoubtedly make a strong mem
Der on the board. ~
AS other business disposed of at
the Monday night meeting the mat
ter of voting on two ballots sent to
the Chamber by the National organ
ization at Washington, d. c., was

quested to register its vote upon the
questions submitted on the ballots
so that the National organization by

formed and guided on the matter.
In Referendum No. As, the com
mittee recommended that a national
bank should be permitted. under
regulation of the comptroller of cur
rency, to have branches within its
own city If a state bank in the same
city is permitted to have branches.
2. The Committee recommended
that national banks should be given
indeterminate charters. subject to
forfeiture for cause and termination
at the viii of Congress. g.. The
Committee recommended that nat
ional banks should be authorized to
deal in investment securities on a
basis not Inconsistent with the gen
orally recognized principles of sound
banking practice. 4. The Commit
tee recommended that national banks
should be authorized to make mort
gage loans on city real estate for per-
iods not in excess of five years.

al government should always refrain

mcnded that the estate tax nov levied

ment to coordinate national and
state systems of taxation.

PICNIC
AT FORT STEELE
HUGE SUCCESS

The annual picnic of the Lions
Club which was held last Sunday on
the Platte river a few miles above
FIT. Steele was n of the most sue
cessful picnics ever put on by this
enterprising organization.
The affair was attended by some
hundred and sixty persons, including
the Lions with their wives, families
and guests and about eighty boy
couts and junior boy scouts.
The entire scout organization was
invited by the club to participate In
the occasion, and needless to say the
invitation was accepted almost to a
man.
Through the courtesy of Rotarians
Fleischli and Armstrong. the large
bus was donated for the purpose of
transporting the boys to the picnic
grounds. and Jake Ziegler kindly
donated a Star bus. one of the exhib-
its OF the Star-Durant caravan.
Cub F.. A. Hadsell also provided
the club with n bus, and the over
flow was taken care of In the many
cars which made the trip.
Shortly after reaching the river,
the scouts under command of Scout
master +. +. McGraw. ran off the
Hudlh OF tuslr ulnlttlC events, as
mentioned elsewhere in this issue.
At $500 o'clock the welcome call
TO lunch stampeded the boys. to say
nothing OF it's effect on the older ones
present. and an excellent lunch was
served by the lunch committee.
In the afternoon the Scouts chal-
lenged the Lions to n baseball game,
and the entire gathering repaired to
the meadows adjacent TO the river,
whore the scouts proceeded to ad-
minister n crushing defeat to a pick
ed team from the Lions. The base
ball made up In good. clean fun what
It lacked In technique. and the boys
were highly elated over their success.
The club members used numerous
battery combinations. but were help
less before the lusty wallops OF the
scout b%atters.
Shortly after six o'clock scoutmas-
ter McGraw rounded up his charges
and dispatched them on the home
ward journey. bringing to an end u
most successful day.
