MERGING AND CONSOLIDATION OF STATE OFFICES
In LINE WITH MORE ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION

Another department. which in the
interest of economy should be
thoroughly considered, is that of
State Commissioner of Education.
There is a serious doubt in the
minds of many as to whether the
work cannot be handled more eco
nomically and more satisfactorily by
the Supt. of Public Instruc-
ton. We do not recommend at
this time the adjustment of this
office but we do advise a careful
check in order to see if the schools
would not be just as we'll off with
out it.
The time should be here now
for the consolidation of the State
Board of Livestock Commissioners,
the State Board of Sheep Commits
sioners and the State Veterinarian
under one department with one man
at the head of the consolidated de-
partment. Heretofore, with the
sheep and cattle interests at odds,
it has been inadvisable to make
this consolidation. but conditions
are vastly different now and this
consolidation is possible.
There is absolutely no need of a
special department to handle the
work being done by the State In
Commissioner. The work
of this department and of the In
heritance Tax Commissioner could
very easily be handled by the State
Auditor. These departments were
at one time under the charge of the
State Auditor and should be put
back there again.
Another department which was
created a few years since and which
to many seems superfluous, is that
of the State Department of Agri-
culture. The work of this depart
ment could very easily be handled
by some of the other departments
of the state government and by the
State University Extension service.
In the early days of the State
Highway department there was a
, 1926-12-29

With Mornings new Legislature
to convene within a few weeks,
there approaches the time for
thinking people of the state to
support and advocate those new
ideas in government which will
make for more efficiency and also
reduce the tax burden to the prop
erty owners.
Hon. R. H. Alcorn, editor of the
Rawlins Republican was a member
OF Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eigh-
teenth legislatures, as such was
brought in close touch with the
needs of the state, and familiar
with the duties and administration
of many of the important state Of
fices.
Among the many offices which he
thinks should be consolidated or en-
tirely abolished are the following:
The State Prohibition Depart
ment should be abolished entirely
as never since it's establishment has
1t been able to accomplish anything
in the way of law enforcement
which would justify it's continuance.
Always the suspicion of graft, in
efficiency. and politics have been
connected with the department and
such suspicion will continue, re-
gardless of who is in charge. An
enormous amount of money has
been expended on this department
without compromising returns. A
direct appropriation to the governor
Tor his use in cooperating with
county and city officials in the en-
forcement of the laws would be
much more effective. Undoubtedly
the anti-saloon league will bitterly
oppose the adjustment of this de-
partment but 1t should be abolished
nevertheless.
There can be no difference of
opinion as regards the question of
~abolishing the office of Interstate
Streams Commissioner sand the
handling of the affairs of this de-
partment by the State Engineer.

THE oOTE PRIMARY
(Snake River sentinel)

(Snake River Sentinel)
In order that many of the pri-
mary ills may be cured 1 suggest
that the Legislature enact a law
providing for the restoration of
party responsibility without the i'm
pairment of the right of an aspir-
ant to be a candidate in the pri-
mary; that the parties may hold
advisory conventions for the nom
nation of candidates to be later
affirmed or disapproved at a pri-
mary election and that the present
arrangement OF anne of candidates
In alphabetical order in which thew
are filed with the Secretary of
State.
In this manner, if the selections
made by the conventions should not
be satisfactory, those aggrieved
could carry their case to the pri-
mary and continue their contest
there. That would seem to impose
upon the advisory conventions the
absolute necessity of EXERCISING
care in their judgments and Sc
iections to the enc of SATISFYING
the desires and wishes of the ma
Jority of the party SO that conven-
tion choices would be approved in
the primary. 1t would also operate
as a safeguard against a possible
boss controlled convention and re-
duce the old convention evils.
People are not satisfied with the
present system, and their reasons
therefore are obvious. About the
only criticism directed against the
old convention system was that
very often it was boss-controlled.
while the Primary Law is attacked
in a half dozen places.

tendent and for a Highway Engi.
neer. This need has now passed
and the two positions could very
easily be consolidated with the
saving of several thousand dollars
a year to the State of Wyoming.
We well realize that many of the
above suggestions will prove un
popular but hope that at least some
of them will receive consideration.
Some new legislation which we
believe should be considered by the
next Legislature:
Another revision of the state
game laws with the view of more
efficiency in the department and
department out of politics. The
! State Fish and Game Protective AS
ISOLATION will undoubtedly have ex-
cellent plans worked out for the
above purpose.
Under the present laws the
money derived from auto licenses
goes toward paying off the state
road bonds. The state owes on these
bonds but s1.SOO,O0 and as they
are not due until 1941 it would be
advisable to appropriate this auto
license money direct to the highway
department for use in matching
federal aid money in the construc-
ton of highways.
The present gasoline tax of 2h
cents per gallon should be raised
to 4 cents with l cent from each
gallon sold going into a special
fund for state and county co-opera-
tive highways. 1t is almost impos-
sible for the Highway Department
but the Department should have
money to cooperate with the
counties in establishing throughout
the state a secondary highway sys-
TEN. The other 3 cents from this
tax should all go towards road
maintenance.
Another change in our laws
which would effect a big saving
and a big increase in e would
be the changing of the issuing of
auto license from the secretary of
states office to the Highway De-
partment. In every county in the
state the Highway Department
has offices and men employed
who could be used in the
issuing if auto license. This would
make it possible for auto owners
to secure their licenses direct from
the county engineer rather than
have to send to Cheyenne. 1t would
a " money in collecting the licen-
a- r@,,Il n1-@ ,A-,,I a.,
mor licenses being taken out each
year.
A law should be passed immed-
lately which would provide for a
small levy each year to raise money
to be applied to the retirement of
the state deficit.
A law should be passed which
will levy a small tax each year for
the purpose of properly advertising
the State of Wyoming. All states
surrounding Wyoming are spending
large amounts of money in adver-
Using their while Wyom-
ing, with unlimited attractions, is
spending nothing and in conse-
quence this state has retrogressed
while surrounding states have pro-
crossed.
A measure which has been in
troduced regularly each session of
the Legislature for several sessions
past, through the efforts of the
Eagles Lodge. is an Old Age Pen
sion Act. This measure is also
strongly backed by Union Labor
and is one which should this session
receive very serious consideration.
In states where it is in operation
it is effecting a big saving in money
over h old-time method of each
county taking are of its poor and
pauper through county farms. This
measure is IN economical as well
as humanitarian one.

Dash Followed Along.

tail every time Dick or Dot spoke to
him, which was his way of saying he
was enjoying himself!
He trotted along and sometimes
went off on long scampers.
They walked through the fields and
Dash bounded through the long grass.
Just before they reached the woods
they came to a high bank where below
was narrow stream.
Dick told Dot to follow his steps.
but, alas and alack, she slipped on a
messy stone and down, straight into
the stream she fell
Dick laughed because he thought
that here the stream was not deep
and he was waiting to hear Dot laugh
at her ducking too, when he saw Dash
scramble down the bank and into the
water.
Dots head appeared. above the
water and Dash, the former coward
who always ran away. had grabbed her
by the shoulder and was pulling her
to the bank.
For with his dogs understanding he
had known, somehow, she was in dan
ger, and that it was deep there
When he got back to the farm and
Dick had led Dot dripping wet, into
the house, the other animals wanted
to know all that had happened.
But Dash hadn't word to say.
He didn't even bark
He was just very thankful and
happy.
But when Dots daddy brought out
great big bone and said to Dash:
You're great. fine. brave dog. 2
the other animals understood and
Dash was so pleased
Never again was Dash afraid. His
love for Dot had been greater than his
fear and it had mastered his fear.
From then on he had been brave and
had been Of such help and assistance
to all, just as you know.
But that was long, long ago. And it
showed what anyone could do when
one they loved was in danger.

Seeking Information on
Effects of War Casing

Views of physicians with actual
front-line experience on the question
of the after-effects Of wartime gassing
on the respiratory tracts and internal
organs of the men affected are being
sought by the national rehabilitation
committee of the American Legion.
Director Frank 7. Hines Of the
United States veterans bureau has
promised to send out a Questionable
to all Of the bureaus medical experts
who served overseas. The chemical
warfare service Of the War depart
ment is also assisting the Legion In
the work
Very little Is known on the subject,
according to the committee. What
little has been written about 1t has
been the work Of men who taught
medicine in the colleges during the
war, rather than Of men who had &C.
tual experience with such cases.

DASH, THE DOG

You must hear about the time that
Dash, the dog, showed how really
brave he was 1t happened long
time ago.
Dash was very timid. Yet he was 4
dog.
Now usually we think of Irish set
tiers as being brave dogs and we think
correctly.
Dash came, too, from very brave
family of Irish settlers. He was long
and had red hair-and he could GER
tainly run.
In fact, the animals in the barnyard,
near the house where Dash lived told
him that was the only thing he could
do, and Dash had felt much ashamed.
Red Top, the Rooster, said:
"Cock-a-doodle-do, you're coward.
you run away, as the silly hens do.
well, you're not so brave yourself"
said Porky Pig, who was digging his
feet in the soft mud

am just fine and lazy It's all want
to be-" ended Porky Pig.
"Pll do some very brave act this
very day." said Dash, "and save some
body's life, or maybe two or three
lives-it doesn't make any difference
how many!'
Off ne started in search of a brave
adventure. He was ashamed of being
called a coward, and ashamed because
he really did feel afraid.
And he was still more ashamed for
giving way to these feelings.
AS he passed the farm house Dick
and Dot, the two children of the farm
er, ran out and Dash followed along,
for he knew they were going for
walk.
He forgot all about searching for
brave adventure and he wagged his
