DENVER, April 11. The resolutions
adopted by the Governors conference
here today emphasized "sane conser
vation" and outlined a land policy. They
were substantially as follows:
"We believe in conservation in sane
conservation- "We believe that the all
wise creator placed the vast resources
of this Nation here for the use and
benefit of all the people generations
we believe due consideration and de
termination of the rights of those who
come hereafter, we insist that the peo
ple of this day and age should have
velop our wonderful resources and put
them to a beneficial use.
Rapid Settle Demanded.
"Believing that those who control the
soil control the Nation, and that the
most pleased nations are those where
the ownership of lands is in many
hands, we Insist that in the manage
ment and sale of our public lands both
the Federal Government and the state
should, maintain such a policy as will
make for the rapid settlement of all
vacant agricultural lands.
"Resolved, That this convention
recommend to Congress amendments of
the following nature to the desert land
act:
"1. That the entryman's proof of cit
izenship in the state wherein he makes
a desert land filing, be changed from
the time of filing, to the time of prov
ing up.
"2. That the requirements of reclam
ation be enlarged to embrace the al
ternative proof of cultivation by the
actual growing of crops by dry farm
metrods on double the acreage required
if by irrigation.
"We approve the plan now befoer
Congress to permit homestead entries
by persons over 18 years old.
Control of Water Disputed.
"Whereas, Congress has declared 'the
wate rof all lakes, rivers and other
sources of water supply on the public
lands and not navigable shall remain
and be held free for the appropriation
and use of the public for irrigation,
mining and manufacturing purposes."
we insist the Federal Government has
no lawful authority to exercise control
over the water of a state through own
ership of public lands.
"We maintain the waters of a state
belong to the people of the. state and
that the states should be left free to
develop waterpower possibilities and
should receive fuly the revenues and
other benefits derived from such em
ployment.
' "We reiterate our expression con
tained in article 10 of the 1913 resolu
tions referring to the reopening of
mineral land and in addition owuld
urge that the revenues derived from
the sale of such lands should be used
for the reclamation of the arid, lands
of the West.
"We believe grazing lands should
be disposed of through an enlarged
homestead act giving the settler suf
ficient ground to enable him on a live
stock basis to support family..
Summer Home Law Proposed.
"We favor the passage of a Summer
homestead or pre-emption law permit
ting land not valuable for timber, min
erals or agriculture, but suitable for
Summer homes, to be acquired In not
to exceed 40-aacre tracts for Summer
homes. The entryman should not be
required to be a resident of the state
in which the land is situated and suit
able improvements to the value of $200
and three years' Summer residence
should be necessary to secure patent.
"We reiterate that 5 per cent of the
public lands in the several states
should be granted to the said states to
aid In the construction of permanent
roads.
"We believe one of the greatest
blessings the officials at Washington
could bestow upon the West would be
the elimination of all re dtape and the
taking of prompt action upon all mat
ters pending before the departments
and in which Western states are inter
ested, and we are pleased to note that
efforts are already being made in tnat
direction.
Land Donation Suggested.
"We recommend that 10 per cent of
all vacant and unappropriated lands in
each of the arid states be donated to
such states and each of them as shall
so request, said lands to be sold by
such states as other state land are di
poed of and the proceeds of such sales
to form a reserve fund to be used under
the direction of the state for Irrigation
reclamation purposes.
"Wo urgently recommend that the
United States reclamation projects now
under process of construction be com
pleted ata the earliest practicable mo
ment and turned over to the settlers
thereunder as soon as can be.
"We urgently recommend that the
united States Reclamation Service im
mediately investigate any and all
Carey land, irrigation district or like
projects commenced or under construe
tion in the arid states and render such
projects all hnancial and other assist
ance possible, to the end that they may
be Immediately completed and the set
tiers tnereunder protected and assist
ed and the persons holding bonds is
; sued against said projects be compen-

There was nothing definite concerning

demands to the contestants
there.

and the prevention of like action in
case of subsequent Constitutional suc

"Lefty Louie" Write Letters.
The following letter from "Lefty
Louie" to the press was given out by
Warden Clancy last night:
"Gentlemen of the Press: The edl
torial in today's paper speaks cf 'swag
gerlns desire for a game end'; it also
speaks of 'sudden piety' and old 'bra
vado. As our keepers may prove.
there Is no talk of 'game end': there
Is no 'old bravado' here.
"There Is piety, sudden as your edi
torial says, but It is here, thank God
and our spiritual advisers. Gentlemen
of the press. Thou shalt not bear false

legislation supplementary to the Sher
man act will not be undertaken at this
session of Congress on the broad scale
originally outlined by the Admlnlstra- .
tion.
This became known here tonight.
Democratic Senate and House leaders
agreeing that a practical solution of
the vexatious problem to cope with
evils of big business through legisla
tion had been suggested.
The plan, it was asserted, is to pass
one bill which would create an inter
state trade commission with broad pow
ers to investigate affairs of corpora-
Ions and witn specific authorization
to inquire into the relation to com-
lerce of Interlocking directorates, hold
ing companies, stock watering, the Issu
ance of railroad securities and price
lscrlmlnatlons which tend to destroy
competition. The commission would
recommend to the next Congress what
further trust regulative legislation It
deemed advisable for the welfare of the
country.
After many conferences of Democrat
ic and Republican Senators, who In
turn have conferred with members ot
the House interstate and judiciary com
mittees, a tentative amendment to the
Senate bill to create an interstate trade
commission has been drawn, designed to
ake the place of proposed bills to pro
hibit or regulate Interlocking dlrecto-
ates. holding companies. stocK water
rr: to provide for Government regula
tion of the issuance of railroad securi
ties and to solve the problem ot deatruc
