The Wyoming State Flag, designed by Mrs. A.C. Keyes of Casper (formerly Miss Verna Keays of Buffalo), was adopted by the fourteenth legislature on January 31, 1917.

The Great Seal of Wyoming is the heart of the flag. On the bison, once the monarch of the plains, is the seal representing the custom of branding. The colors of the State Flag are the same as those of the National Flag. The red border represents the Indian; also the blood of the pioneers who gave their lives reclaiming the soil. White is the emblem of purity and uprightness over Wyoming. Blue, the color of the sky and mountains, is symbolic of fidelity, justice and virility.

* Number of Returns: includes records for individual income tax forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ. The foreign category also includes forms 1040NR, 1040PR, 1040VI and 1040SS processed through Cycle 39. Returns processed after late September are not included in the data. The number of returns also exclude returns with filer and spouse of filer deceased (and there are no other exemptions on the return); returns that do not match Year-1 to Year-2 and matched returns that are not geographically coded in either year, and "zero exemptions" returns are all excluded. Number of Exemptions: includes the filer (if not deceased), the number of children exemptions (at home, away, and with EIC), the number of parent's exemptions and the number of other exemptions. Matching Returns: tax returns are matched for two particular tax years (2003 and 2004). These are generically referred to as Year-1 (prior year) and Year-2 (current year). There are three categories of match status: (a) matched, (b) unmatched, Year-1 only, and (c) unmatched, Year-2 only. The match is made based on the SSN of the primary filer only. That is, no match is attempted on the secondary filer. Non-Migrant: tax returns filed in the state of Wyoming both in 2004 and in 2003.

Interesting information about Wyoming:

The Great Seal

The Great Seal of the State of Wyoming was adopted by the second legislature in 1893, revised by the sixteenth legislature in 1921.

The two dates on the Great Seal, 1869 and 1890 commemorate the organization of the Territorial government and Wyoming’s admission to the Union. The draped figure in the center holds a staff from which flows a banner bearing the words, “Equal Rights,” and symbolizes the political status women have always enjoyed in Wyoming. The male figures typify the livestock and mining industries of the state. The number 44 on the five-pointed star signifies that Wyoming was the 44th state admitted to the Union. On top of the pillars rest lamps from which burn the Light of Knowledge. Scrolls encircling the two pillars bear the words: Oil, Mines, Livestock and Grain, which historically, have been associated with Wyoming commerce.

46 construction Interesting information about Wyoming: THE OLD WEST CONTINUES One of the earliest explorers of Wyoming was John Colter in 1807. While exploring the Rocky Mountains, he discovered a region of steaming geysers and towering water falls so unusual that his written reports nicknamed the area “Colter’s Hell.” The same area, in 1872, was set aside forever as a place to be enjoyed by everyone. It became known as Yellowstone, the world’s first National Park.

Wyoming owes its early settlement in part to the gentlemen of Europe. Their fondness of beaver top hats sent early-day trappers to the Rocky Mountains in search of the prized pelts. Famous mountain men such as Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, Davey Jackson and Jedediah Smith were among the trappers, explorers and traders to first roam the Wyoming territory.

Gold in California and the lure of rich land in Oregon brought increasing numbers of pioneer wagon trains rolling over the Oregon Trails through Wyoming. Pony soldiers came to protect the wagon trains from hostile Indians, and the soldiers established forts along the trails.

The most important of the western military posts was Ft. Laramie in southeastern Wyoming. Ft. Laramie became a haven for gold seekers and weary emigrants. It was also an important station for the Pony Express and the Overland stagecoaches, and it served as a vital military post in the wars with the Plains Indians. Ft. Laramie witnessed the growth of the open range cattle industry, the coming of homesteaders and the building of towns which marked the final closing of the wild, western frontier in 1890.

Wyoming was the scene of the end of the great Indian battles. Ft. Phil Kearny, located in northern Wyoming, had the bloodiest history of any fort in the West. Thousands of well organized Indians from the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Sioux tribes fought battle after battle against the U.S. Cavalry. One famous battle took place in 1866 when 81 soldiers set out from Ft. Kearny and were drawn into a classic military ambush by Indians led by Crazy Horse and Red Cloud. None of the “blue coats” survived.

Great herds of buffalo once grazed the rolling hills of Wyoming, giving rise to one of the state’s best known citizens, William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody. Today in the town he founded, Cody, near Yellowstone National Park, is an enormous museum dedicated to Buffalo Bill and the West he loved and helped settle. Near the turn of the century, Buffalo Bill took his Wild West Show to Great Britain and the European continent to give audiences a brief glimpse of the cowboys, Indians and other characters who lived in America’s west during Wyoming’s early days.

Interesting information about Wyoming: WYOMING’S EQUALITY HERITAGE

Wyoming is also known as the “Equality State” because of the rights women have traditionally enjoyed here. Wyoming women were the first in the nation to vote, to serve on a jury and to hold public office. In 1869, Wyoming’s territorial legislature became the first government in the world to grant “female suffrage” by enacting a bill granting women the right to vote. The act was signed into law on December 10 of that year by Governor A.J. Campbell. Less than three months after the signing of that act, on February 17, 1870, the “Mother of Women Suffrage in Wyoming” - Ester Hobart Morris of South Pass City - became the first woman ever to be appointed as a justice of the peace. Laramie was also the site of the first equal suffrage vote cast in the nation by a woman - Mrs. Louisa Swain on September 6, 1870. In 1894, Estelle Reel (Mrs. Cort F. Meyer) became one of the first women in the United States elected to a state office, Wyoming State Superintendent of Public Instruction. In 1924, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross was the first elected woman governor to take office in the United States. She took office on January 5, 1925, 20 days before “Ma” Ferguson of Texas (elected on the same day) took office. Mrs. Ross went on to become the first woman to be appointed Director of the United States Mint - a position she held for 20 years (1933-1953). Since 1890, 77 women have served in the Wyoming Legislature; 18 women have been elected to the Wyoming Senate; 12 women have served in both the Senate and the House; and 2 women have served as Speaker of the House. Currently, in the 58th Wyoming Legislature, there are ten women serving in the House and four women serving in the Senate.

Interesting information about Wyoming: WYOMING’S BUCKING HORSE AND RIDER (BH&R)

The Bucking Horse and Rider (BH&R) is a federal and state registered trademark of the State of Wyoming. The BH&R trademark boasts a rich tradition, for both the State of Wyoming and the University of Wyoming; a tradition which spans nearly one hundred years. This image has become an icon for the entire state and is fast becoming a valuable commercial image in Wyoming and across the United States. People far and wide have come to associate this image with the State of Wyoming and the University of Wyoming.

Because of increasing commerical demands for this trademark, the State of Wyoming and the University of Wyoming have consolidated efforts to protect, preserve and promote the tradition and integrity of the Bucking Horse and Rider trademark on behalf of the entire State. A licensing arrangement provides the most efficient and feasible vehicle to ensure that the trademark is protected from misuse or infringement, and that its ownership is rightfully retained by Wyoming, for the people of Wyoming.

Interesting information about Wyoming: NATIONAL PARKS Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first and foremost national park. Two contrasting elements have combined to produce this area of natural wonders; a land born in the fires of thundering volcanoes and since sculptured by glacial ice and running water. The park features the world’s most extensive area of geothermal activity. Thousands of hot springs dot thermal basins; geysers hurl thousands of gallons of boiling water into the air; hissing steam vents punctuate valley floors; and petrified tree stumps, remnants of a primeval forest buried by volcanic ash, stand starkly on eroded mountain sides. This thermal theatre had its beginning in an enormous volcanic eruption thought to have occurred about 600,000 years ago. Heat from a huge reservoir of molten rock, which produced the massive eruption, remains relatively close beneath the surface, sustaining the spectacular hot water and steam phenomena for which the park is famous.

Grand Teton National Park is Wyoming’s smaller national park, Grand Teton, lies south of Yellowstone. Known worldwide for its breathtaking beauty, the Teton Range thrusts abruptly from the floor of the Jackson Hole valley nearly one and a half miles seemingly straight up into the skies. The Indians called them Teewinot-Many Pinnacles-while the French trappers referred to part of the range as Les Trois Tetons - The Three Breasts.

Interesting information about Wyoming: NATIONAL MONUMENTS Devils Tower National Monument The nation’s first national monument, Devils Tower, looms prominently over the Belle Fourche River in a place where the pine forests of the Black Hills merge with the grasslands of the rolling plains. This imposing formation is a stump-shaped cluster of rock columns 1,000 feet across the bottom and 275 feet across the top. It rises 1,280 feet above the valley to a height of 5,117 feet above sea level. For centuries, Devils Tower played an important role in the legend and folklore of Indian people. It became a landmark to stalwart explorers and travelers pushing their way west from the Black Hill region. It was proclaimed a national monument on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The most recent fame for the tower came as the site where the spaceship landed in the popular movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

Fossil Butte National Monument Is a ruggedly impressive topographic feature which rises sharply some 1,000 feet above Twin Creek Valley to an elevation of more than 7,500 feet above sea level. At the base of the butte are the brightly colored fossil beds of the Wasatch Formation. Near the top of the butte are the much steeper buff-to-white beds of the Green River Formation. The richest fossil fish deposits are found in limestone layers about three feet thick and lie from 30 to 300 feet below the varying surfaces of the butte. The fossils represent several varieties of perch, as well as other freshwater genera, and several kinds of herring whose descendants now live in the sea. Fossil Butte contains 8,180 acres and was established as a national monument by public law on October 23, 1972.

UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING

The University of Wyoming, established in 1886 by the Territorial Legislature, has an impressive record of progress. As Wyoming’s only four year institution of higher education, it is a center of learning, culture, research and service. Enrollment for the fall semester of 2005 was 13,126. Students from every county in Wyoming, from other states and from foreign countries attend the University of Wyoming.

More than 100 programs of study are offered by the seven colleges of the University - Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Law. Graduate study and summer school programs are also available. Educational opportunities and other public services are extended to all parts of the state by the School of Extended Studies and Public Service and the Agricultural Extension Service. Research projects undertaken at the school contribute to the economic and social progress of Wyoming.

Buildings of colorful native stone, in a setting of spacious lawns and gardens, against a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks make the campus in Laramie one of the most beautiful in the nation.

Interesting information about Wyoming:

STATE CAPITOL-CHEYENNE

Wyoming’s State Capitol, a classically designed building of Corinthian architecture resembling the National Capitol in Washington D.C., is located in the heart of Cheyenne.

The Ninth Territorial Legislative Assembly authorized the construction of the building in 1886, and on May 18, 1887, the cornerstone was laid.

Flagstone for the building’s foundation was quarried near Fort Collins, Colorado, 45 miles south of Cheyenne, while sandstone from quarries near Rawlins, Wyoming, was used in the construction of the upper floors. Additional wings on each side of the original structure were completed in 1890 and the final two wings were finished in 1917. The interior is finished in cherry, oak and butternut woods. The original cost and the two later additions totaled $389,569.13. The murals in the Senate and House chambers were painted by Allen T. True. They depict industry, pioneer life, law and transportation. The ceiling of each chamber is stained glass with the State Seal in the center.

125 126 NATURAL RESOURCES Interesting information about Wyoming: NATIVE AMERICANS IN WYOMING

There is evidence of more than 12,000 years of prehistoric occupation in Wyoming. Among these groups were Clovis, 12,000 years ago, Folsom, 10,000 years ago, and Eden Valley, 8,000 years ago. The latter were the big game hunters of the Early period. Following these, and remaining until about 500 A.D., were many groups with a mixed hunting and gathering economy. These were followed by the predecessors of the historic Indians.

On the crest of Medicine Mountain, 40 miles east of Lovell, Wyoming, is located the Medicine Wheel which has 28 spokes and a circumference of 245 feet. This was an ancient shrine built of stone by the hands of some forgotten tribe. A Crow chief has been reputed as saying, “It was built before the light came by people who had no iron.” This prehistoric relic remains one of Wyoming’s unsolved puzzles.

Southwest of Lusk, covering an area of 400 square miles, are the remains of prehistoric stone quarries known as the “Spanish Diggings.” Here is mute evidence of strenuous labor performed by many prehistoric groups at different times. Quartzite, jasper and agate were mined. Artifacts of this Wyoming material have been found as far away as the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.

The historic Indians in Wyoming were nomadic tribes known as the Plains Indians. They were the Arapaho, Arikara, Bannock, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Crow, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, Nez Perce, Sheep Eater, Sioux, Shoshone and Ute tribes. Of all of these tribes, the Cheyenne and Sioux were the last of the Indians to be controlled and placed on reservations. Among the Plains Indians, art is found in the actual form of the object as well as in its decorative value. The Indian artist is concerned with the technology, or function of an object, more than with the purely artistic merits of what he produces. Plainsmen were the hunters, warriors and religious leaders of their tribes, therefore, their crafts related to these occupations. Traditionally, both men and women were artists and craftsmen, each producing articles for everyday use as well as for ceremonial purposes. Usually, quilling and beading were done by women and carving was done by men.

It is as difficult to separate art from the Indian’s daily life as it is to separate his religion from his daily life. All are tightly interwoven. There is one Indian reservation in Wyoming, the Wind River Reservation, with headquarters at Fort Washakie. The reservation is the home of some 2,357 Shoshone and 3,501 Arapaho Indians. The total acreage of the reservation is 1,888,334, exclusive of lands owned by the Bureau of Reclamation and other patented lands within the exterior boundaries.

183 184 Glossary & INDEX WYOMING

The musical name, “Wyoming,” was used by J.M. Ashley of Ohio, who, as early as 1865, introduced a bill to Congress to provide a “temporary government for the territory of Wyoming.” It was to be formed from portions of the Dakota, Utah and Idaho territories. The bill was referred to a committee where it rested until 1868. During debate on the bill in the U.S. Senate in 1868, other possible names were suggested, such as Cheyenne, Shoshoni, Arapaho, Sioux, Platte, Big Horn, Yellowstone, Sweetwater and Lincoln. “Wyoming” was already commonly used and remained the popular choice.

The name Wyoming was adopted from two Delaware Indian words, MECHEWEAMI-ING. To the Indians it meant “at the big plains,” or “on the great plain,” which is certainly appropriate for Wyoming.

Ad valorem taxes – A tax levied on the assessed value of real estate or personal property. Ad valorem taxes are also referred to as property taxes. Ad valorem taxes constitute a major source of revenue for local governments.

American Community Survey (ACS) – A nationwide survey used to obtain demographic, social, economic, and housing data on people, households, and housing units. The survey collects the same type of information that has been collected every 10 years from the long-form questionnaire of the Census, which the ACS will replace. The 2004 ACS estimates are limited to the household population, and exclude the population living in institutions, college dormitories, and other group quarters.

Assessed valuation – The value placed upon real estate or other property to be used as a basis for levying taxes. It is the appraised worth of a property as determined by a taxing authority for purposes of ad valorem taxation. Assessed values are a percentage of fair market value, for example in Wyoming, 100% for mineral production, 11.5% for industrial property, and 9.5% for all other property. In Wyoming, locally assessed valuation represents values for property assessed by the county assessor and state assessed valuation includes those properties assessed by the Department of Revenue’s Mineral Division or Property Tax Division.

Barrel (bbl) – The unit used to measure the quantity of crude oil production. The size of a barrel of crude oil is 42 gallons.

CDP (Census Designated Place) – An area designated by the U.S. Census Bureau during each decennial census for purposes of statistical reporting. A CDP is typically a community that resembles a city or village (an incorporated place), but lacks a separate municipal government. These areas are outlined to provide Census data for concentrations of population, housing, and commercial structures that are identifiable by name, but fall outside an incorporated place. The boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or other legal entity boundary, have no legal status.

Commodity – An article of trade or commerce, especially an agricultural or mining product that can be processed and resold.

Covered employment – Refers to employees covered by State Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) programs. In general, the Federal-State Unemployment Insurance Program provides unemployment benefits for eligible workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own (as determined under state law), and who meet other eligibility requirements of State law. Unemployment insurance payments (benefits) are intended to provide temporary financial assistance to unemployed workers who meet the requirements of state law. In the majority of states, benefit funding is based solely on a tax imposed on employers.

Current dollars – The market value of an item, which reflects prices and quantities of the period being measured and has not been adjusted for inflation. For example, 2005 data in current dollars indicate values based on the worth of the dollar in the year 2005.

Decennial census – A count of population and housing performed every 10 years as dictated by the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Census Bureau is responsible for enumerating the population, and also for compiling statistical information on other population and housing characteristics.

Non-institutionalized population – It includes persons who are not committed to an institution such as a prison or medical treatment facility. This term is often associated with group quarters Census data, and includes persons who live in group quarters other than institutions. Non-institutionalized group quarters include dormitories, military quarters, or group homes.

Occupation – A set of activities or tasks that employees are paid to perform. Employees that perform essentially the same tasks are in the same occupation, whether or not they work in the same industry. Some occupations are concentrated in a few particular industries while other occupations are found in many industries.

Payroll – Includes all forms of compensation such as salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay, bonuses, vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, and employee contributions to qualified pension plans paid during the year to all employees.

Personal income – The income received by all residents of a particular area from all sources, measured after deductions of personal contributions to Social Security, but before personal tax deductions. This sum includes net earnings by place of residence, rental income, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer receipts or payments.

Per capita income – The mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total personal income of a particular area by the total population of that area.

189 Poverty status – The U.S. Census Bureau uses thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two-dimensional matrix to determine the poverty status of families and unrelated individuals. To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income in the last 12 months with the poverty threshold appropriate to that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the appropriate threshold for that family, then the person is considered poor or “below the poverty level,” together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. The total number of people below the poverty level is the sum of people in families and the number of unrelated individuals with incomes in the last 12 months below the poverty level. For example, in 2005 the poverty threshold for one person was $9,972 while for two people it was $12,752, and a family of four was $19,961.

Professional and Business Services – This grouping is a combination of three NAICS sectors: Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (NAICS 54), Management of Companies and Enterprises (NAICS 55), and Administrative and Support Waste Management and Remediation Services (NAICS 56). A list of NAICS classifications can be found on pages 191-192.

Proprietor – One who owns or owns and manages a business or other such establishment.

Race – The U.S. Census Bureau’s concept of race reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs, and should not be interpreted as being scientific and anthropological in nature. Race categories include both racial and national-origin groups.

Receipts – Includes gross receipts, sales, commissions, and income from trades and businesses as reported on annual business income tax returns. Business income consists of all payments for services rendered by businesses, such as payments as independent agents and contractors.

Residence adjusted – An adjustment for residence is based on the net inflow of the net labor earnings of inter-area commuters (for example commuting between counties). The state and county estimates of personal income are presented by the state and county of residence of the income recipients. However, the source data for most of the components of wage and salary disbursements, supplements to wages and salaries, and contributions for government social insurance are on a place-of-work basis. Consequently, a residence adjustment is made to convert the estimates based on the source data to a place-of-residence basis.

Severance taxes – Taxes levied by the State of Wyoming on mining activities occurring within the State such as oil, natural gas, and coal production. Severance taxes are excises imposed on the privilege of extracting or “severing” natural resources from the ground. They are an accepted and traditional source of revenue for U.S. states.

Supplements to wages and salaries – This component of personal income consists of employer contributions to employee pension and insurance funds and of employer contributions to government social insurance.

Transfer receipts – Payments made by the government to individuals and non-profit institutions that are not in exchange for goods and services, such as Social Security payments, and are a component of personal income. This term was previously identified as transfer payments.

Unemployment – Persons aged 16 years and older who had no employment during the reference week, who were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.

Unemployment rate – Represents the number of unemployed persons as a percent of the labor force.

Value-added – The gross output of an industry or a sector less its intermediate inputs; the contribution of an industry or sector to GDP or GSP. Value-added by industry is measured as the sum of compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, and gross operating surplus.

Wage and salary – The monetary compensation of employees, including employee contributions to certain deferred compensation programs, such as 401K plans.

44-45 Retail Trade: The Retail Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in retailing merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The retailing process is the final step in the distribution of merchandise; retailers are, therefore, organized to sell merchandise in small quantities to the general public. This sector comprises two main types of retailers: store and non-store retailers.

48-49 Transportation and Warehousing: The Transportation and Warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to modes of transportation.

They may also offer food and accommodation services to their students.

62 Health Care and Social Assistance: The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with those establishments providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and social assistance, and finally finishing with those providing only social assistance. The services provided by establishments in this sector are delivered by trained professionals. All industries in the sector share this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of health practitioners or social workers with the requisite expertise. Many of the industries in the sector are defined based on the educational degree held by the practitioners included in the industry.

71 Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation: The Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation sector includes a wide range of establishments that operate facilities or provide services to meet varied cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their patrons.

72 Accommodation and Food Services: The Accommodation and Food Services sector comprises establishments providing customers with lodging and/or preparing meals, snacks, and beverages for immediate consumption. The sector includes both accommodation and food services establishments because the two activities are often combined at the same establishment.

These agencies also set policy, create laws, adjudicate civil and criminal legal cases, provide for public safety and for national defense. In general, government establishments in the Public Administration sector oversee governmental programs and activities that are not performed by private establishments. Establishments in this sector typically are engaged in the organization and financing of the production of public goods and services, most of which are provided for free or at prices that are not economically significant.
