a great deal of favoratism.
To help the bill along it has been pro
posed to donate the revenue derived
Irom leasing to a fund to promote the
irrigation of arid lands. A better way
would be for the government to donate
the revenue obtained from tint usual
sales of land to settlers to this purpose.
The only true way to settle this
question is by private ow nership of the
ranges. This ii the manner in which it
is being disposed of and if the lease law
is prevented from passing for ten years,
the problem will he solved. In the La
Grand land district alone, over KK),(K)
acres have been filed on during the last
six months ami the larger part of this
area is grazing land. Wherever there is
a spring of water or a small stream a
settler or stock raiser is hastening to ac
juire title to the land surrounding it.
WbttP this is accomplished the land
will ti held or transferred according to
natural ImHiness laws. If the capitalists
