waslunnton, D. C., Oct. C. (To
me tuuor.j Tho strong and deter
mined; opposition developed at the
recent National Irrlcatlon Congress
ft Ogden, to the yrvojui tepeal
di some or our abused land laws In
uicaies mat ir mere is to bo any
changing or nn.cno.ing of there laws
It will be done only through n thor
ough understanding of their Iniqui
tous features and an awakening of
the people to a realization of the fact
that under them Immense Quantities
of valuable government property are
passing into the hands of private cor
porations and speculators .for a mere
tithe of their. value to the nation.
A resolution was introduced at the
congress by George H. Maxwell, the
executive chairman of the National
Irrigation association the same reso
union which was passed by the last
Irans-.MIssIsslppI Congress, quoting
the president's words In denuncia
tlon of these laws and callinir unon
the United Siates Congress for their
repeal.
, Congressmen from both Wyomlnx
and Idaho vigorously opposed such
i action and In a speech to the Irriga
1 lion Congress Representative Slon
1 dell of Wyoming strenuously defend
i ed all the land laws, especially the
Desert Land Law. wh.ch he stated
had been of great benefit to Wyom-
Ing.
' On the other hand congressmen
I ot California and .Montana denounced
i all three laws as having been the
cause of enormous areas of public
land passing fraudulently into pri-
vate mvncrsmp, and Senator Gibson
ot .Montana and .Mr. .Maxwell both
, quoted lind Office figures to show
I that unless something is done to pre
vent the absorption of. these lands
the great bulk of fie remaining dcsi-
rable and arable public lands will,
, In a very few years, have entirely
ji.isappeared.
Under a proper timber law the gov
ernment income from timber sales
would he far greater than at present
and n any event the ubovo is a pre
posterous reason to advance, because
if these laws are left intact, and the
absorption of the public domain un
der them continues as at present,
there will soon be no government land
left for reclamation under the irri
gation act.
Repeal These Law.-.
Now the proposition Is to report'
these three laws. It will be necessa
ry to have some additional legislation
regarding the sale of timber, A
strong point made by tho opponents
of the repeal of these laws is that
such action would cut off the contri

Looking to the East.
The strength to innure tho repeal
oi these laws must come from the
East. The fight in the Irrigation con
gress shows tho opposition which
can be expected In certain sections
of the West and In order to secure
the public domain from speculation
and to keep It intact against tho time
when It shall be needed by the set
tier, eastern sentiment must liecomo
aroused to the sltuatlur. Western
opposition and eastern apathy are
the stumbling blocks.
The western men who look lor tno
true development of their country
along home-making lines ask the Hast
tc come to their support on this ques
tionto save the land for the actual
settler Ouy K. .Mitchell.
