LEASING PUBLIC LANDS
The Subject of an Animated Dis
cussion in the Live Stock
COnVenfiOn.

Denver, Jan. 25.-Resolutfons adopted
by the live stock convention today were
as follows:
By D. c.. Wyett, president of the Col
orado Cattle Growers association, ap-
proving the work of the bureau of ami
NAL industry in it's efforts to prevent
the spread of contagious diseases; by
c. w. Baker of Illinois, asking for ac-
curate animal statistics from the fed
eral government; by A. j. Boutwell,,
providing for a committee to look after
wolf bounty legislation.
E. F. Mitchell of Oklahoma read
paper on Grading and Breeding Of
Range Cattle
Senator Ammons of Colorado intro
duced a resolution regarding uniform
brand laws, which was referred to the
executive committee.
The question of leasing arid lands
was then taken up, provoking a very
heated discussion
J. c. Mckay of Wyoming opposed the
proposition to lease public lands or cede
them to the states, declaring that the
federal government alone should under
take the work of retaining the lands.
He said a system of leasing would re-
suit in putting all the public lands into
the hands of great Syndicates and prae-
tically make it impossible for the lands
ever to be reclaimed.
Other speakers were G. P. Johnson of
Colorado and D. N. Stickney of Wyom-
ing, in favor of leasing, and Mr.. Harris
of Colorado against it.

GOV. STANLEY IN NO HURRY
Doesn't Want to Change the Railroad
Board For Short Period.

There is trouble in the state execu-
tive council.
The difficulty is over the appointment
of members of the railroad board. The
terms of the members of the present
board expire on April 1 and Governor
Stanley wants to allow them to serve
out their terms. The other members of
the council say mo" and there the
matter stands with the likelihood that
Governor Stanley will be turned down.
The governor bases his position on the
action of the special session of the leg
islature which created the new court of
visitation and abolished the board of
railroad commissioners. He argues that
since the Populists left the appointment
of the court to the Republican admins
tration the Republicans can afford to
be magnanimeuS and allow the Popu-
lists to serve out their terms.
But the other members say that
Commissioner billiard and Commission
er Campbell must go at once. They are
willing to allow Commissioner Level
ling to stay because he is a senator and
they may have need of him, but the
word has been spoken and the other
two members are slated to go:
The members of the administration
want Lit Crum to have a place on the
court of visitation. BY electing him
now it will force Governor Stanley to
give him a place on the court of vista
ton for he could not afford to turn him
down after he had served two months
as a member of the board of railroad
commissioners ]. NJ. Simpson of Nc
PherSon is in much the same position.

SWEDEN AGITATED.
General Strikes of All Trades
to Be Ordered If the Riksdag
Fails to Grant Political
Concessions.

Stockholm, Jan. 25.-The Social Dem
ocrats of Sweden are threatening to
use the strike as a weapon to enforce
the granting of political concessions
which they demand. The party is in
tensely disappointed that King Oscar,
in his speech from the throne, failed to
mention the petition, signed. by $4,000
Swedish citizens, which he received jan
uary 4, praying the reduction of the
property qualifications for voting from
$225 to $140. Ten thousand Social DEM
ocrats held an open air meeting in
Stockholm today for the discussion OF
the matter, and passed resolutions de-
claring that unless the extension of
suffrage sought were granted by the
rikSdag a general strike of all trades
would be ordered.
Nor is this astonishing movement con-
fined to Stockholm. In the extreme
south, in the city of Malmo, these reSo-
buttons have been adopted by the Social
Democrats. Across the lower peninsula
from Stockholm the agitatOrS of Goth
enburg send the same message to the
riksdag. From the north, too-frOm
Sundsva1l the Gulf of BOthnia-
comes a like threat of a. general strike.

ANOTHER "INsPEcToRsHIP"
Which the Grain Dealers Desire to
Have Remedied.

The house committee on state af-
fairs has requested the printing of a
thousand copies of the grain inspection
bill introduced by Representative Ours
Ter. The committee has the bill before
it for consideration and they wish to
send it out to grain shippers over the
state to ascertain their wishes on the
subject.
The bill was prepared by the State
Grain Dealers association, and it's pas
sage is urged by that body, but there
are many grain dealers in the state who
do not belong to the association, and it
is the opinion of these dealers that the
committee is seeking.
The bill takes the system of grain in
spection out of the control of the state
and places it in the hands of the grain
dealers association. The chief inspec-
tor, deputies, and weighInasters are to
be elected by the association and paid
from fees collected by them as at pres
emit The association complains that
they do not get proper inspection and
weights at present.
