TO GET FEDERAL AD) STATE
NEED AMEND CONSTITUTION
Committee Representing State Bar Association Urges People of Wyoming to
Vote for Amendment No. 2 to Enable State to Receive Road Money
The recent session of Congress ap
propriated $85,000,000.00 for use in
constructing good roads. The law!
provides for every dollar spent in each j
state, the state must spend an equal,
amount.
In anticipation of national legisla
tion of this character the last legis
lature of this state passed a resolu
tion submitting to the vote of the
people at the general election in 1916,
the folowing amendment:—
AMENDMENT NO. 2. (For the
amendment of Art. 16 by adding
Sec. 9, permitting the State to aid or
engage in the construction and im
provement of public roads and high
ways, and to devote the proceeds of
grants of lands to works of internal
improvements specified in the grants.)
Art- XVI. Section (9). The provi
sion of Sec. 6 of Article 1G of this
Constitution prohibiting the state
from engaging in any work of in
ternal improvement unless authorized
by a two-thirds vote of the people
shall not apply to or effect the con
struction or improvement of public
roads or highways, but the legisla
ture shall have the power to provide
for the construction or improvement
of public roads or highways, either
directly or by extending aid to count
ies; and notwithstanding, said inhi
bitation as to works of internal im
provement, whenever grants of land
or other property shall have been i
made to the state, especially dedicated :
by the grant to particular works of
internal improvement, the state mav
carry on such particular works and
devote thereto the avails of such
grants, and may pledge or appropra
ate the revenues derived from such
works in the aid of their completion.
At the last session of the State
Bar association the undersigned mem-'
bers were appoined to the Constitu
tion, in order to enable the State to
secure the benefit of its share of any I
such appropriation by Congress, or
to accept grants of lands or property
for use in the construction and im
provement of roads, and to call the
matter to the attention of the public.
Scetion 6 of Article 16, of the Wyo
ming State Construction contains the
following provision. “The state shall
not engage in any work of internal
improvement unless authorized by a
two-thirds vote of the people.” The'
courts in several states have held
that such a provision prohibits the
legislature of any state from making:
provision for the construction of
roads. After investigating the ques
tion carefully we have concluded that
it is extremely doubtful if the state!
can through legislative action avail
itself of the appropriation made by
the recent session of Congress, or
any other provision that any future
Congress may make for assisting the
state in the construction of roads
without first amending the Constitu
tion. To require a two-thirds vote
of the people in order to engage in. (
the construction of roads, or to se
cure the benefits of an appropriation
made by Congress for that purpose
would be equivalent to requiring an
impossibility. Experience has shown
that it is practically impossible to

secure a two-thirds vote in favor of
any proposition submitted, no matter
how favorable it may appeal to the
people; and such a method would be
too cumbersome and slow in its oper
ation to be practicable. We there
fore conclude that in order to be sure!
of securing for this state, its share j
of the appropriations made by the
recent session of Congress for the
construction and improvement of
roads, as well as any grants of pro
perty or land which any future Con
gress may make for such purpose,
and to enable the state to participate
in the improvement of the roads of
the state, this amendment to the Con
stitution should be adopted. We
urge every voter of the state to be
sure to vote upon this question on
Election day.
The members of the committee will

which they have upon this question
to any voter.

BELOVED LADY DEAD
Passing of Mrs. J. C. Prante Mourn
ed by Whole
Community
- -o
Mrs. Rosetta Olive Prante (O'Hara)
died in Cody on Friday of last week
and the funeral Sunday afternoon was
largely attended by many sorrowing
friends.
J.M.
Her illnesß had been so brief that
the news came as a great shock. For
many years she had been a silent suf
ferer from Bright’s disease, and an
acute attack brought her life to a
close after an illness of three days.
The service at the home was brief
and impressive, the choir of the Epis
copal church sang three selections, the
! favorites of the diseased.” Will There
1 Be Any Stars in My Crown?” “Near-:
j er, My God to Theh” and “Rock of
, Ages” composed the music forthe 1
| occasion. The ritualistic service ;
] was prefaced by a few remarks by
' Rev. A. R. Chalmers who said among
other comforting things that “Mra.
Prante died in the full bloom of
womanhood, when one might hope
that many more years of useful life
might be her portion. As a mother,
wife and woman she made a lasting
impression on Cody. It was the im
pression of a good mother, a true
and loving wife and a woman of fine
character. No higher praise can be
given. To her family of seven child
ren and a husband she was the dear
est object of love.”
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful. No greater expression
i of the love and esteem in which she
was (leld could have been made. la>v- 1
j ing friends carried flowers to the Cody
cemetery where her grave was cover
ed with their beauty.
Union Mills, Indiana, was her birth
: place on Nov. 14. 1868, and her child-j
hood home. After her marriage on
' Dec. 3. 1885 to John Charles Prante
the young coulp went to Peru, Ne
braska where they lived until they
came to Cody in 1906.
To the union ten children were
born. Two boys died in infancy and
a little baby girl of eleven months
passed away after they came to Cody.
