The Utah items were added to the
bill by the active efforts of Senator Raw.
inS, who originally introduced an inde-d
pendent bill for their payment.
The Utah senators and Judge King are
still very angry at the language contained
n the Lacey report on the bill leasing
he Uncompahgre mineral lands. Mr.
Cannon says: THE report is intended |
% bolster up a corrupt steal engineered
by an eastern syndicate that is trying to
acquire these lands. This syndicate has
been blocked in other congresses and it
will certainly be blocked in this one. The
author of this house report is either cog
lizant of these facts or wilfully ignorant
The house report is reprehensible- One |
hing is certain. If these mineral lands
'annot be opened legitimately they never
will be surrendered to this syndicate"
Judge King says the house committee
eport does not represent the views of the
public lands committee, but only of Judge
lacey, who drew it. The Utah represent
alive has carefully canvassed the house
committee. He finds that while the bill
vas faYorably reported as amended, the
of the repOrt-sO offensive to the
tab delegaton-was never submitted to
he committee Not a single Democrat !
vas present. so far as Judge King can !
earn. when the report was submitted to
-ote.
Representative King says it is possible
hat the amended bill can pass the house |
nut it will not go through without a. hard |
ght being made against il.
