BHI to Legalhe 6amblin9
Introduced In State Senate
Cheyenne--Saturday, January
27, the deadli.ne for introduction
of bills in both ttouses of the
Legislature, brought an avalanche
of new bills, the most import of
which was the gambling bill in-
troduoed in the Senate by Sena-
tor Richard J. Luman of Pinedale,
Sublette county.
When both Houses adjourned
Saturday, a total of 268 measures
had been introdueed--ll2 in the
,Senate and 156 in the House.
This is a few more tha.n were
acted on at the session two years
ago, but is about the general av-
erage for a legislative session.
Bill Legalizing Gambling
Arouses Interest
The bill providing for licens-
ing of gam,bling, introduced at
the ~Saturday session by Senator
Luman has already aroused much
activity among the pros and cons.
It provides that counties may de-
cide by an election of the people
at a regular election whether or
not they want gambling in their
counties. If a majority of the
people decide they want gam-
bling, rules and regulations are
set up to control the games. If
a majority are against gambling,
then the laws now on the statute
books would apply.
The bill is being pushed by the
city officials of several towns
and cities as a mea~s of raising
more revenue for operating ex-
penses. It is certain to meet with
strenuous opposition.
Former Governor Wants to
Revamp Liquor Commission
A bill introduced by former
Governor Leslie A. Miller, now a
State senator from Laramie coun-
ty, l~rovides for a State liquor
commission composed of four cit-
izens appointed by the governor.
The five elective state officers
now compose the commission,
which was created while Miller
was Governor.
If Miller's bill becomes e law,
an executive director would be
named under a merit system. The
five elective state officers now
select the commissioner.
The bill also seeks to place all
employees of the state liquor set-
up under a merit system.
JuBior College Bill Defeated
by House in Close Vote
The so-called junior college bill,
proposing an enabling act to per-
mit counties or groups of coun-
ties to provide additional educa-
tion beyond high school courses,
was defeated i~ the committee of
the whole in the House by the
narrow margin of two votes---
25 for and 27 against. Natrona
county delegation introduced the
bill, and it had a good chance of
passing until Dr. J. L. ,Morris,
president of the Wyoming univer-
sity, spoke against it at an alum-
ni dinner Monday night. After
its defeat in the committee of the
whole, the bill was indefinitely
poslponed, but it is quite likely
that it will come up at the next
session of the Legislature.
Other Bills of Interest
Introduced
Senator J. A. Farlien, Democrat
of Washakie county, introduced
a bill to create a board of watch-
makers, composed of three licens-
ed watchmakers, who would reg-
ulate the watchmakers of the
slate.
The Senate Education Commit-
tee introduced a bill requiring all
children 'between the ages of 7
and 18 to attend school unless
they are graduates from the 12th
grade.
When Senator E. Harold, Jos-
endal of Natrona county, the
only bachelor in the Senate, in-
troduced a bill to revise the mar-
riage laws, he was the object of
much good-natured razzing by his
fellow-Senators. At present a
marriage ceremony must be per-
formed in the county where the
license was issued. Josendal's
bill would makea marriage license
good in any county in the state.
Clarke Gapen, Repu~blican, of
Big Horn county, introduced a
bill requiring that justices of
the peace have at least a high
school education.
A bill introduced by W. H.
Harrison, Republican of Laramie
county, would divide counties in-
to commissioner districts.
Caldwell Wants Governor
to Get $1,000 a Month
Dr. R. T. Caldwell of Chey-
enne, a retired Presbyterian min-
ister, member of the House, in-
troduced a bill in the House to
set the Governor's salary at $12,-
000 a year. It is now $8,000.
