[transcribed by Debbie Gibson] Cheyenne, Wyo., - Jan. 18 – The state of Wyoming may soon be believed from the necessity of levying state taxes for administrative purposes as indicated by the annual reports filed with the Governor Houx covering operations of the state officers for the past year. Greatly increased royalties from oil production on state lands, increased rentals on grazing and agricultural lands owned by the state and added interest in mineral development on state owned lands have brought the receipts of the state land office almost to the two million dollar mark. A balance above the total administrative expense of all state officials, will result from the past year's transactions with indications of continued increases for the future.
Receipts from oil royalties for the current year went above the half million dollar mark, the greater portion of which goes to the maintenance of the state university and the balance to the state school fund. State royalties have grown from $19,000 in 1912 to the present figures.
The state land office shows gross receipts for the biennium of $1,933,628.76 as against $1,090,000 for the preceding term. The increase is due to higher rentals received from the state grazing and agricultural lands, of which the state has 3,523,604 acres. Incomes from state lands for the last two years have enabled the state to set aside the sum of $783,665 for current school expenses and to invest $508,972, the income only of this latter sum to be used. The income from the common school lands for the biennium amounted to $10.85 for each child of school age.
The state of Wyoming this year received as interest of funds deposited under the state depositary law, the sum of $61,000 while its revenue from permanent investment of state land funds totalled $132,869.

History of Schools and Asylums for the Blind 1800'S TO 1915 NEW

Background: Montana. Before the establishment of a school, blind children were sent to other States for education. In 1893 the Montana School for the Deaf and the Blind was opened at Boulder. It is under the State board of education, with a local executive board of three members, and is visited by the State board of charities and reform.The name of the school was changed in 1901 from the Montana Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum. Since 1909 there has been a department for the feeble-minded in connection with the school. The Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General formerly constituted the commissioners for the school.
In all the States of the Union the education of the blind has been effectually accomplished by statutory action on the part of the legislatures. But in certain ones, to render this a formal and permanent duty, there have been incorporated in the organic law provisions requiring such bodies to give due heed to the matter. Attention of this kind has been demonstrated not to be necessary in actual practice for the support and continuance of the schools for the instruction of the blind; while by some students of constitutional law the view is held lhat the organic law should confine itself only to fundamental principles of government, leaving the working out of details, as they arise, to the chosen representatives of the people. Yet, however it be considered, the inclusion in express terms of the regard by the state for the education of the blind is quite commendable, and bespeaks a praiseworthy solicitude for their welfare.
Wyoming. Since 1886 blind children have been sent to the schools in neighboring States for education, the State board of charities and reform having them in charge.When there are as many as twelve applicants, a State school for the deaf and the blind is to be established at Cheyenne under a board of three trustees, such having been provided for in 1897. A building was erected for the purposes of a school, but was set aside for other uses.
