That price is prohibitory when applied to 99 per cent of the lands of Central and Western , Ariionm L'wn, Idano, Newjaextco ano a portion oi Colorado, and , the competitive bidding Will enable ' thV wealthy and stronto take from the small settler bis claim. because the former can. afford to lose mora, than the latter has in order to ac quire control of favored localities .and districts. Section 6 limits the amount to be leased to one party two tac tions of watered land and six sections of dry , land.

In . other wprds, the' 'cattle king may secure hla hench men to outbid and lease, over the heads of the email cattlemen and settlers gen erally, the available, water and favored spots of the publio domain, and from these watering places and ranches allow his cattle to roam and eat the graaa on the puhlc-'domaln at pleasure, but sheep and goats and the small herds of cattle which mutt be held more closely, must be disposed of, saerjneed and quit the country. At least atich will be the re sult of Its operation in the Southwest generally.': , . This it not hettered by tbe luring provitlont of tectlon 12 providing that tne funds arising from such leasing shall be held aa irrigation trust funds, for every one familiar with the general situation in the Southwest knowa that not one per cent of the grating land of these districts could be . leased under this law, and therefore would be no truet fund worthy of a moment'a con sideration,; It would mean to Arlsona the sacrlflo of the sheep Industry, and of the small cattle and horse ranches, which bring an income annually to the territory of from two to three million dollars, besides the sacrifice of the homes and ranches of these tettlera who have lnvetted everything they pos sess under exalting conditions and range rights, which this hill completely over turns. Tlie sheep of Aritona, for 'example,-grata Blx. to eight months In the year over a vaet stretch of country, I sometimes in one locality, aometlmea in another, depending on the varying sea sons, which controls the supply of feed and water, seldom on land that can.be grated the entire season. Then most valuable feed" from January to May or June. Is usually on the desert, where there it no water and tha ground ia bare at all other seasons. No other stock could harvest this valuable crop of the desert, yet these sheep must aeek feed elsewhere at other times. They alone can go from place to place, guided by their herder and owner, and harvest these natural fields of forage, but the proposed lease law would confine them to one locality, and that too small to support a fourth of a band. It meant a sacrifice absolutely of the Industry In Aritona. and the same in New Mexico, Utah. Idaho, and; I believe, in most of the Northwest. "I might add that, in my judgment. any bill or measure for the regulation of grating upon the public domain should place the tame under the management pf the -department of agriculture, which lr organised with bureaus and depart ments of scientists. Independent of poll tic, more permanent in their respective positions, study these question from more scientific standpoints, and are mora likely to formulate- correct and reason' able regulations, more stable and un changing in their nature and less liable to favoritism and political lnfluenoes."
