."William Hanlcy, the leader, ef Ore-
xon'a' blc -cattlemen, has roino out
strongly against tha BurkMt b;ll provld
i ' ' Inf-fortue .leasing of government lands
'or gracing.
Mr. Hanlev In an interview thla
' morning declared that the lending of
, gevernment landa for JO yeara would
be playing Into tha hand of selfish In
t areata, and would work a great harm
to fhe western states which are In
need of aettlera.
Coming ai It dors from the man pop
ularly supposed to be tha rhlef advo
cate of tha bill In Oregon Mr. Hanloy's
statement will be of great Importance
In the battle that la to be waged be
tween tha cattle Intereata and the de
c par tea act of the Interior and tha sheep
, men.
atag la Tea Years.
. "I am agalnat tha leasing system,"
said Mr. Hanley In tha Portland hotel
thla mom trig. "I am agalnat It bacause
' I think the country haa a Delier uae
for lta land than te uae It for common
lock grailng. I do no tnink tne coun
trv can ba developed with the land
leased for 19' yeara for auch a purpose.
No man haa tha right to say what Is
good land and what la bad land. At the
- end of la yeara tha man who does aay
any land Is bed or good will aay that
he waa a fool. Ten yeara will change
the aspect of any country- This In the
common hlatorv of every development.
"'ADDlvlna- thla to central Oregon,
there la no ahow today to settle Oregon
or get people Into tha country unless
they can get hold, of the title to the
iana.' The trounie now la inai me iana
laws-are too tight and demand too much
or the cltlsen in perrecting nia uue.
' . "There la not latitude enough from
tha standpoint of government dealing
to get people to coma la and settle ou
tha land. Instead of allowing the
. hnmeateeder- 160 acrea ha ahould have
320 and tha baae of his final proof
should ba the actual development of
products In specified amounts and for a
certain numoer or years, wnea tne
products of his own energy would
aggregate lo par acre In getting title
to tne iana.
F :. . Homestead taw raroe,
'"A a for tha baae of sending a man to
the country to live a certain number of
months It Is a. farce on the rights of a
rlttsen raising a family to have to go
ou Into' a deaert region and serve a
riven time as a settler, taking his chil
dren' away from schools, living In a
little shack, simply put up to fulfill
the requirements of a narrow law.
"The Burkett bill la more Important
to. Oregon than to' any other state in
the union, as. Oregon probably haa the
blgreet amount of vacant land of any
state.' One third of Its territory Is tied
up In forest reserves, and about one
third Is represented by vacant .Jands.
Anyone taking up a map of Oregon and
going over? the central tortlon of the
state will find that With road granta,
settlers ana cattlu and stock monopolies
of land, only about 10 or II per cent la
now tilled, all the reat being vacant.
When Oregon knowa Oregon it will fln 1
it lies in ibis unsullied and unuevcioix'u
country.
Tha Bvil ia leasing-.
The evil In leasing la that it gives
the leasee of the property actual title
to the land for 10 yeara. and while the
bill nominally preserves the right of
the settler, as a method of simply
flavoring tha measure with popular
sentiment, It Is. really plumb out of
reason, under the act a settler couia
locate a homestead in the center of
tract of land leased to any individual
or company, but thla right would be of
no real value to him and ne couia not
make a living, -surrounded as ha would
be by the big holding devoted io grai
lng. ' The right to lease the land would
almply mean tilling it In big chunks
and holding it up for future genera
tions. "The good resulting to the country
from the range la not or any great con
sequence. Oet the biggest product out
of the land you can't do that with sel
fish Interests leasing It In large bodies
and virtually excluding small settlers.'
"With the price-fixed at fS an acre,
the government need never fear a mo
nopoly. The best land for graalng la
not worth more than $ or 17 an acra.
"The question of land monopoly is a
bugaboo land la tha worst Investment
any one can get, excepting for an im
mediate turn. The bolder of any large
amount of land la alwaya exposed to
the elements of the will of the common
fieople, and this hoodoo about monopo
lies land Is simply locking the stable
door after the horse Is stolen, and Ore
gon Is the victim." ,

leasing question In the following ex

And when I see anything that la going

to hurt these in the common bunc

state Developed and not turned over to
the cattlemen or any other body Of

The leasing or tne iana as proposed
