That Uns Hundred Years y

Mr.. Gibbs and his journalistic sstel-
lites have made the assertion that
from one TO four hundred years would
be required to settle the West, and
therefore, in view Of this fact, the pub
lie lands in the West should be leased
out AS pastures, and thus be made to
produce a revenue to the school fund
NO data are given for the statements of
the lease-law advocates, but this is of
no consequence to men who are go
blind TO the general good as to favor
tying up" from settlement one entire
section of the state. Below will be
found the population Of certain coun-
ties OF Texas for the years 1850 and
1870, as shown by the United States
census. The increase in ten years in
these counties was l36.599, nearly
200 per cent. To show thIs
decennial increase such conn
Ties have been selected as were
popularity known in 1870 rs "cattleu
counties, and which were as popularity
regarded as unfit for agricultural mr..
poses rs the more western counties ara
now alleged to be by lease-law adyo,

1871 TO 1850 as an index of what the
future Increase would be If no lease
law bepermitted to retard immigration,
THE GAzErrE has sought to include
no county which had in 1870 a reputa-
ZION FOR agricultural capacity and
which was not regarded as ut only far
grazing--at least, that had no more
reputation for agricultural capacity
than those counties which lease advo.
Gates now desire to give over to pasture

This last comparison shows an in
crease In ten years of l05 ,632, or about
700 per cent. an examination of the
census for the years 1850, 1870 and 1880
will convince any man that the great
proportion Of the growth Of Texas pop
ulation has been in the West, and that
the percentage of increase in this sec
ton has been simply marvellous, and it
must be remembered that in the past
these counties which have grown SO
rapidly had the same reputation for
agricultural capacity as those counties
now have which the lease men want
to tie up from settlement on the ground
that they are fit only for grazing pur-
poses.
There are S5,000,0O0 acres of the pub
lie lands. In view OF what has been
done, will any sane man say that it
Will require one hundred years to set
tie the West? With lease law to de-
ter immigration the West will never
be settled, but with free pasturage to
enable the poor pioneer to subsist
while he develops the agricultural ca
pacity of the country, and no lease
law to deter him from going to the
West, in less than twenty years one
hundred thousand people would be
settled ON the lands that the lease law
advocates would dedicate to the cattle

Ere. Grass.
Gatesville sun.

Day after day this very important
measure to the state assumes more 81
gantic proportions. AS little as the
matter at first was thought of, great
state issue was underlying the ques-
ton, which many hoped would only
prove to be fanaticism of The GA
zETTE. Quite change is now mani
fest, and the more the subject Is dis
cussed with firmness, and not ridicule,
the more do the people zee Its
Importance, and the faster do the
politicians make rapid strides to
clear themselves of advocating the
lease or herd laws. The name Free
Grass is misnomer, and in some In
stances has carried the communistic
idea with It. This is to be regretted,
for far from one is the other. No one
that Is fair IN argument or willing to
have the interests of the state carefully
guarded would indulge in such argu.
ment simply TO crafty little selfish
feeling to the detriment of the true
issue. Lease law or anti-lease law is the
uuestion-whethe 1t is better for the
state as now, or whether the better
interests would not be subserved by
offering inducements to the honest
yeomanry of other states to come in
our midst and improve the great lands
with which the state ab0unds. TITS
the farmer that builds up country;
the cultivation of the soil that develops
the resources of a state. IT'S the i'm
provements that are taxed that gives
to state its financial strength; It's
churches and schools that civilizes a
people, and not immense roaming herds
or extensive pastures under wire fence.
The only argument used by ali lease
law advocates, so far, has been the
amount of revenue that is gained To
the state by the system. This Is thin
veil to cover over the hook.
Take the agricultural counties of the
state and compare the revenue raised
from them by taxation with the
amounts received from those counties
where the lands are leased, and the
true inwardness of the question will
be solved and the lease law men left
with not n single proof to sustain the
The United States
government, with her millions of
acres of lands, has never conceived the
idea of leasing, but always looked 10
the settlement OF these lands by those
who would in the end become tax
payers.
II the state of Texas would increase
her wealth and population, lease no
more lands, but have them occupied
by settlers as speedily as possible.
