The Billings Gazette has been scrutinizing the report of State Treasurer Herman B. Gates, and has reached the conclusion that the idea of Wyoming reaching that stage when no direct tax will be needed is a strange probability. The concluding paragraph of the Gazette article follows:
"With a continuation of the development of the oil and mining industries of the state and the exploration of state lands, from which the state derives a royalty, it is easy to see that it will not be long until Wyoming will be in a position that she will not need any direct tax for the support of the state government."
