The only claim made for the proposed lease system is that it would conserve the native grasses, but there is no assurance to this end. Go the other hand, it is cer­ tain that it would postpone the settlement of the range country; that it would immediately injure '.lie range industry; that it would operate for the advantage of the richer as against the poorer stock- men; that it would tend to mono­ polization of the land. These are reasons enough why the thing should not be done.— Oregonian. Just as it was believed that the light against the proposal to lease the range lands of the country had been won, news comes from Washington that new effort is be- i.ig made in behalf of that project. Certain large herdowners in the Southwest, who operate upon the open ranges, are back oi this new movement. They see clearly that unless, through the lease ayatem or some other device, a I fresh hold can be got upon the ranges, their monopoly is doomed. In the evolution of the republic Settlers'ire moving in upon the Southwestern ranges precisely as from the crude conditions of the upon those of Eastern and Cen­ beginning, party regularity has tral Oregon; they seek, naturally, heretofore been regarded as an the choice watered and sheltered orthodox doctrine, to be denied spots; and, not so much by their only by the political unbeliever. numbers as by their locations The better element of the voters they are “boxing up” the ranges. is now inclined to revolt and de­ Appeal, of course, is not made up mand a.revised confession of faith. on this ground, but upon the pre-, In politics, as in religion, and for tense that urder general compe­ the same reasons, there is insis­ tition the tanges ¡ire lieing de­ tence that independenceof thought stroyed; and that only under the 1 and action shall govern the pos­ lease system or -some other look­ sessor of the franchise. ing to a limited use, of the ranges,. The trend of the day among can the value of these lands be the churches is towards a liberal­ ized creed expressing only the pre»erved. There is, indeed, something in essentials.

Certainly it is liven destroyed, but there has come up in its place other grasses principles, not men, that should which many believe to be of ’ govern the voter, and that is by greater value. The so-called no means antagonistic to the in­ “sheep grass” of Eastern and cen­ dependent regime. It is because tral Oregon is distinctly a better of principle that the self-respect­ stock feed than the coarser bunch­ ing yoter acts upon his own ini­ grass to whose place on the ranges tiative in determining the course it has mea«urably succeeded.

Lands that he will rebuke money as a uiuli i lease would practically be dictator over free expression of bi'v ond the i each of the immigrant the will of the elector. The fact is clearly illustrated by cm 1 ent events in this state.
