REACTIONARIES PLAN TO (Continued from Page One.)
great democratic proposal would come

a great democratic proposal would come from such source is supremely ridicu- lous.
 "The Wadsworth amendment does not provide for referring constitutional amendments to the people. It merely gives State legislatures the right to re- fer amendments if, and when, and how, they see fit.
 If legislature wishes, it can block consideration of constitutional amend ments indefinitely by merely refusing to pass referendum law, or 1t may fill the law with such restrictions-for ex- ample, provision that an amendment could not be ratified unless 1t received two-thirds of all the votes cast-as would make it valueless.
 Another of the major jokers in the Wadsworth amendment is the provision that only one-fourth of the States are required to defeat an amendment while ree-fourths of the States are required to ratify
 
 amendment ratification must be secured within eight years.
 Under these provisions, the enemies of an amendment could either resort to dilatory tactics and thus prevent action for eight years, or they could pick out 13 States where they knew they were strong and by securing negative vote in those States, nullify the ajrmative ac- ton of the remainder"
 In statement assailing the proposed amendment, Donald R. Richberg of the Chicago bar declared that the principal purpose of the scheme is to make amendment of the Constitution more difficult. Summarizing his analysis of the proposal, Mir. Richberg said:
 ''The main point to be emphasized at the present time is that the proposed involves fundamental change in governmental policy which has remained unchanged through the entire history of the Republic, change in governmental policy of major import ance Second, it should also be pointed out that the result of adopting this and submitting 1t to the States would be to inaugurate a nation wide debate over the meaning and ef-E feet of this proposal in addition to the inevitable debate over its merits. Third, it's one purpose and effect is to make ani amendment to the Constitution more diff hcult Fourth. 1t offers referendum bait for progressive support which IS palpable fraud, as might be expected from the fact that this amendment has the support of the most reactionary an- forces in Congress and i'll the country at large Fifth, there is an extremly sinister menace Tn the very fact that such an amendment as this, with it's tremendous importance, Is made major item on the program for a short session, when 1t has not received he present or any previous Congress my adequate consideration, ard when 1t las received practically no consideration whatsoever in the country at large. This mendment is either proposed merely as
 waste of valuable time or else as part f secretive and vicious attack upon he fundamental principles of our de  -E- |

X. b. Mccullough in the enforcement
OF the state game and fish laws. 1t
is planned to add seven more, max
ing a total of 20 special officers.
The violations of the state game
and fish laws have been so fragrant
during the last several seasons that
drastic measures are necessary to
bring the average citizen, and par
ticularly a certain class of visitors
to a realization of the fact that there
are state game and fish laws, and
that insofar as Albany county is
concerned, the laws will be rigidly

Ten Years Ago

In the early territorial days of
Wyoming when the Union Pacific
was pushing construction westward
one of the wild and woody gentlemen
of the frontier was David Parker,
otherwise known as Slapjack Dave.
He cut quite a caper along the front
as the partner of the notorious Wat
kins brothers who were known far
and wide as the toughest bad men
in the country. On one occasion the
trio held up the entire town of Chey-
enne, at the point OF guns, standing
off the sheriff, the police and a large
crowd of citizens. They escaped to
the hills after this exploit and rode
$50 miles to Carbon county.
Their duties consisted of hunting
game for the construction gangs en-
ployed in building the Union Pacific
westward from Rawlins. one of the
Watkins brothers a short time later
rode into Laramie and shot up the
town. Sheriff John Brofie under
took to arrest him and was shot dead.
Watkins then escaped to the open
country and was killed during a run
ming fight with a pursuing posse.
One fatal day in 1865 at Rawlins
while Parker was in shackles for
some of his death dealing perform
ances, he disappeared and no one
ever saw him alive thereafter. II
seems that he had murdered two
men on the North Platte and had
been arrested by Sheriff Lemons.
While waiting for n train for Chey-
enne Parker got away mysteriously.
Seven years ago last January
while tearing down an old building
that had been n land mark for 40
years. the workmen discovered a
tunnel beneath the structure and in
this excavation was found the body
of a a The leg bones were
shackled together and beside the
bones was a double-barreled squirrel
rifle with a globe sight of crude con-
struction. The discovery of this skele-
ton cleared away the mystery of the
fate OF Dave Parker. The shackles
were Identified by VIM. Daley, who
was the leader of the posse that
searched for Parker after his dis
appearance, as those worn by the
desperate. Other old timers identi-
fed the double-barreled squirrel rife
as that used by the outlaw In many
of his exploits.

MORE DEPUTY GAME WARDENS
FOR ALBANY AND CARBON

Mr.. Thomas e. Ramsey has been
appointed as a special Forest Guard
on the Medicine Bow National For
est with commissions as Deputy
State Game and Fish Commissioner
and State Sanitary OFFICER, and will
be assigned to duty, beginning July
l, in the Snowy Range RecreationaI
district ON the Medicine Bow National
Forest.
Mr.. Ramsey will be paid Jointly
by the Forest Service. the state Game
and Fish Commission and from CO.
operative funds furnished by the
Laramie County Sportsmen's Associa-
ton, the Carbon County Sportsmen's
Association and the Albany County
Sportsmen's Association.
During the past several seasons
there has been abuse of the state
fishing law, particularly by visitors
from Colorado. Those abuses con-
sisted mainly in taking more than
the law allows of game fish from
the streams and lakes. Mr.. Ramsey
will see to it that persons with such
porcine propensities will be afforded
an opportunity to tell it to the
Judge" He will also see to it that
clean camp sites are lelt ana the
sanitary laws of the state duly en-
forced this season. Mr.. Ramsey will
also check up on the compliance with
the Federal and State fire laws by
recreational visitors and others.

Encouraging news comes from all
parts of the state regarding the con-
dition of the range n the prospects
for all live stock industries. If re-
ports are to be believed many places
where last year and for years pre-
vious, very little feed could be found,
this year can be moved and a fair
quantity of hay received. The present
condition of range matters is causing
many cattle men to change their
minds regarding the business. Some
have been anxious to sell and the
only thing that kept them from it was
the lack of a buyer. This spring
as the outlook for better prices in
the future grew brighter, buyers be-
came more plentiful, and several
sales were made. Some sales were
made in Carbon county but what
prices were received the Republican
does not know. In some instances
those who sold their herds early in
the spring would now like to have
the bargain declared off. AS the
season advances and by working with
the roundup they have had a chance
to see most of the cattle they have
sold, and they are found in such
excellent condition that in some cases
a sufficient amount of beef will be
sold out of the herds this fall to
pay for the entire herd. From all
indications now those who " cat
tie will do well to hold on to them.
