WYOMING GOVERNMENT
COST RUNS HIGH

The Cheyenne Tribune calls at
tention editorially to some startling
facts and figures which have been
compiled by its Washington cor
respondent, Frederick ]. Haskin, on
the subject of comparative costs of
state government, which contain
plenty of food for thought and
should be of intense interest to the
voters and taxpayers of Wyoming
at the present time.
This compilation of figures shows
that the highest per capita cost of
state government, so far as opera
ton. maintenance and interest are
concerned. is found in Nevada, with
$3.50 as the figures. Wyoming
comes next with S23.53 per capita.
This testimony is strictly impair
tial and is predicted upon cold, I'M
biased statistical facts, and proves
that the cost per person of state
governmental operation, mainten-
ance and interest in Wyoming is
higher than in any of 46 other
states of the United States and is
exceeded in only M of the 4S
states.

CODY DEFEATS BASIN
BY A CLOSE SCORE
Erratic Work of Cody Warriors
Almost Brought Defeat-Show
Wonderful Flash in Third
Quarter

In what will probably be n OF
the most strenuous games of the
season, the Cody High football
team defeated the boys of Basin at
Basin Saturday afternoon, by the
close score of 10 to IL points. The
teams were not so evenly matched.
the Cody boys having more snap
and strength at all times than their
a~dversaries, but by erratic playing
failed to score until the fourth quar-
ter, when w touchdowns and one
goal netted them a victory. Basin
scored its twelve points by two
touchdowns in the third quarter.
] hi Cody warriors started the
game OFF with a snap and from the
Kickoff started the pikskin toward
their goal by straight football and
Llne plays. An underinfated ball
was the cause of two fumbles when
Cody was within the five yard line.
on the second of which the ball was
lost to Basin. There followed a
hard and holly contested battle,
with Majors, Cody's strongest back
man, going out on account of an
injury to n of his arms. Neither
of the teams scored during the first
half of the game.
In the third quarter. an inter
cepted pass scored Basin its first
touchdown. and by hard playing
and several nicely managed end
runs, the Basin team put the pig
skin over for a second score. On
neither of the touchdowns did the
Basin team score the seventh point.
In the fourth quarter Cody came
back strong. The team was fight
ing desperately in spite of the fact
that several of the boys had been
injured, but were unwilling to quit.
Edwards and Cogswell were carry
ing the ball through some tight
places with a flash that revived the
entire team, and by straight foot
ball the Cody warriors drove the
ball over the line by a succession
of downs. A forward pass cleverIy
played netted them the extra point.
With nine minutes to go the ball
was placed in play again and a
costly tumble by the Basin lads
saw Souy the opportunity 10 dBdln
start a stubborn march for their
goal. This time some unnecessary
roughness on the part of one of the
Basin players cost them a ten-yard
penalty, and the ball was advanced
almost to the Cody scoring line.
A center drive with Ned Frost.
quarterback, carrying the ball
scored the second touchdown. Joe
Kurtz failed in his kick for goal
and ended the scoring of the game.
The game was a hard one for
the home team. The Basin boys
played a steady and methodical
game, pounding the local lads hard
in every play, and a few cleverly
executed "stiff arms made e v
eral of the local boys look like they
had been in the prize ring. Despite
their injuries, the fourth quarter
rally was a wonderful exhibition
of fighting spirit" which will do
much to win them a victory in the
game with Worland Friday after
noon.
The Basin backield was unusual
ly strong, and the interference
splendid. The team shows remark
able training, and had the line the
stamina to hold, the team would
have been hard to defeat.
