Western Land Grab.
An organized uiovcnient is in
projjrecs to secure from Congre.ti
the leasing of vast ureas of land in
the Weft, says the New York Tri
bune. The cattle and sheep inter
ests are, of course, the instigators
of the movement, and will secure
themselves tremendous political
support for anything they want.
This support will come not only
from members of Congress from
grazing states, but from other inter
ested sources. Several Eastern
members have already signified
their willingness to support this
alleged revenue producing scheme
on the ground that these lands are
unfit for settlement and should be
disposed of in this manner. This
opinion is held, notably, by men
who have opposed Federal aid in
opening government land to home
steaders.
In support of the lease idea
many interviews and articles are
now appearing in print sounding
an alarm over the meat supply
South America, it is alleged, will
soon be called upon to supply th
deficiency in the United States un
less some steps are taken to put
the range cattle business of tne
United States upon a less precar
ious footing than at present, for
it now depends upon free land for
grazing purposes in nearly all of
the so-called cattle states.
This movement for lone term
leases of public lands is in line
with all of the monopolistic schemes
of Western land grabbers. The
efforts have been to so appropriate
all watercourses as to control the
adjacent land without owning it.
State and county scrip, railroad
grants, school land, yrip and pub
lic lands for public buildings, etc.,
have been very generally used in
such a manner as to hinder the
development of tho West.
The fear expressed by the repre
sentatives of the live stock men
that unless they were allowed to
control the ranges in the interests
of their herds the beef supplyof the
country will suffer is not based
upon real fear of such a calamity
to the people, but a fear that the
integrity of their kingly domains
is to Lie limner attacked, ihe
facts in tho beef business of the
United States sewm to warrant the
statement that if every large land
holding was broken up for the bene
fit of homesteaders, not only
would the beef supply hold its own
but it would be enormously in
creased.
A thickly settled area of small
farms in the West produces ten
times the amount of beef, mutton
and pork for market as does the
finest free rage of equal size- Each
small farmer has his herd of live
stock. He pastures part of the
year, but depends more upon feed.
He can get more meat by growing
crops on his land and feeding them
to live stock than he can by letting
his herds graze at their will. Not
only is the quanity of meat pro
duced by this process g'eiter but is
of far better quality, more profit
able to the farmer and better for
the summer. . ,
Every move Congress makes in
direction of increasing the
the West de-
been segregated from tho public
domain upon one pretext or anoth
er. The raids havo been greatc
in tho last decade than in previous
periods, notwithstanding the de
crease in the iismigo homestead
in iw over l.i.uw.uitu ucre
were deeded away from tho nation
1 . 1 . i
ai government, turn oi mm less
than 4,000,000 acres were to homo
steaders.
More beef conies into the market
from the small farms of the state
of Illinois than comes from all the
ranges of tho Western States put
together. It would benefit the
consumers enormously, it is assert'
eu, if there wero no western freo
ranges and every cattlo raiser was
compelled to pasture and feed his
cattle, providing tho present great
ranches weie thrown open to small
operators.
mere is declared to be a great
need of a more intelligent national
land policy. The land question is
back of every ptiase Western ex
pansion. The reclamation of ami
lands is a subordinate issue, for it
would avail the peoplo but little if,
after reclaiming tho arid landi
they could be absorbed bv a few as
they can under tne present system
