 OF WYOMING
Democrat Was Elected and Secretly Took Oath of Office - Republican Refused to Quit

Cheyenne, Wyo, December 2S- (UP) = Two men claimed the governorship of Wyoming today. Governor Elect Leslie A. Miller, democrat, secretly took the oath of office late Tuesday. He imme- diately ordered Acting Governor Alonzo M. Clark, republican, to relinquish state property and rec ords to him. Clark refused, charging Miller was "a private citizen attempting to usurp the power and authoritw of the gover. nor of Wyoming"
 Miller was scheduled to take the oath on January 2. He received his certificate of election last Sat- urday, but the certificate did not state when his term was to start. Clark was secretary of state at the time of the death of the late Gov ernor Frank c. Emerson, in 1891. and succeeded to the governorship pending an election to fill out Emerson's term. Miller defeated Clark in the general election in November.

BARTER SYSTEM WILL BE TRIED
 OUT IN NATION
Substitute for Money That Will Be Recognized in All C0mmunities-PrO iect Started To-day
By DELOS SMITH n Rraaa cfafP Cnrraanonf1qnfh

tOMltcu ENt3S 6tuM ODNNCbIbDAAlCnsb
 New York, Dec 28-(UP)--A nationwide barter system using a substitute for money recognized in all communities and enabling the exchange of surpluses was project ed to-day by the Emergency Ex- change association.
 The association, recently ofgan- ized, is directed by economists, en- gineers and professional men, in- cluding Stuart Chase, J. w. Selig- man, and Dr Frank Graham.
 The association proposes to or- ganizc the individual barter sys- toms established in cities scattered throughout the country into an individual whole with central clearing house. It contemplates is- stance of one scrip recognized as valid everywhere. 1t would enable one community with a surplus of potatoes to exchange them with another for a surplus of finished textile goods, etc.
 Dr Graham, economist at Prince ton university said the extension of the barter system to nation wide footing would not reduce the mar. ket for the products of the present employed.
 IA man without income can con- sume only at the bounty of some one else," he said. "and the latter, to make the gift, must forego something that he could other wise himself have consumed"
 The association is making over lures to local barter exchanges in Portland, Ore, Denver, Houston, Minneapolis, Omaha. Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, Dayton, O. also in California and other states.
 The association's national survey showed that bartering had reached such a height in Washington, Cali fornia, and Utah that state organ izations have been incorporated. In Salt Lake City barter scrip passes easily the group was told, and Is cleared by the banks.
 In Seattle, more than 20 barter locals have memberships of 5O,0OO. In California, the state barter orr ganization cooperates with the state food administration in ex- changing food.
 The association has one barter local operating in 8 New York city neighborhood and pains to estab- fish others. The one is backed by philanthropic agencies. religious and civic societies, and relief or ganiZations.
 It has registration of 200, rep resenting unemployed in number of crafts and occupations. They will be paid in scrip and a halt dozen neighborhood grocers have agreed to accept the scrip, but in limited amounts in. the beginning The grocers plan to use the scrip to pay for odd jobs or other labor.
