that it is class legislation of the most
virulcnt type, having for it's object the
uplifting of the few to the downfall of
the many.
While the project looks like a paying
one on it's face, the Review is inclined to
the belief that We're the law in opera
ton for a time the promoters, who now
think it such a great thing for them
selves, and prospective investors, would
find they had a white elephant on their
hands. The experience of all large land
holders in New Mexico is that the re-
turns from their holdings 10 not pay
the taxes. and most of them have been
willing to sell to smaller holders, who
can look more closely after the business
and thereby reap a profit, where the
large holder loses money.
While it is rue that the small holder
would suffer at the start from such IA
law, the land -grabbers who paid the
government even 10 cents an acre rent
would find they could not realize enough
on the investment to keep up the rental,
much less expend large sums in fencing
to keep off e~ncroachment.
The scheme may be a paying one on
paper, but woe to the capitalist who is
enticed into such a delusive investment

Talking Through His Sombrero.

Mr.. Loving, the optimist from Fort
Worth, has again reached Kansas City
and secured the ears of reporters of the
city by the Kaw, and tells them that his
big cattle deal has again some chances
of being completed. When it is finished
his company, he says, will own the ma
jority of the largest ranches in New
Mexico and Texas. The syndicate
would own 1000, 900 cattle, twenty acres
of land for each animal, and have $780,.
900, 900 capital. Mr.. Loving, however,
has come down from the perch which
he occupied a few months ago when he
said he had secured abundant capital,
and nov declares that ranchmen will
gladly take half the price of their
ranches and cattle in stock in the COM
pany, and the other half of the capital
will be secured, provided times are not
too hard in February. Certainly the
Texas promoter is talking through his
sombrero. Cattlemen We're not born
yesterday, nor are they going to give up
their property for stock in a company
which would be managed by eastern
| men, and in which the minority stock
owner would have no effective voice.
Cattle and ranches are as good as
money these days, and a long ways bet
ter than a lot of paper certificates of
stock. New Mexico has no ranches that
will go in on this deal if it ever be COM
pleted, without cash is forthcoming.
And as for the majority of big ranches
in the territory being on the string of
the Fort Worth promoter, if he has OPP
tions upon any in this territory, they
are confined to the plains east of the
Pecos river, and Texas cattlemen con-
troll them. New Mexico cattlemen are
charging their operations now, since
they have been able to sell their beef
cattle at good prices, are stocking up
for more extensive breeding of a better
| grade of animals, and are not hunting
any syndicate outfit to take their prop
erty for paper thai does not zeal the
signature of the treasurer of the United
States.

A NATIONAL LEASE LAW,


A law of this kind would place it in
the power of corporations and men OF
large means to not only control the
range, but fix the price of stock, n the
small owners would be forced to sell at
such prices as they could obtain from
the leasers.
The thing is preposterous, and the
damaging effects that would accrue
from it's enactment can be seem at a
glance. The grasping, avaricious hand
of greed IAN be seen behind it. 1t is
death to the small cattle owner. 1t will
mean added hardships to the poor, and
more" wealth to the rich. Let us hope
hat the voice of the small owner in his
plea for justice will not be ignored, and
the lease law will be crushed in its in
cipiency by the all-powerful hand of
right.

Not Out of Politics.

Gov. Taylor has retired from office,
but has he retired from politics? He
says he has, and doubtless he really
thinks so for the time being, but he is
quite likely to change his mind. He
has frequently thought heretofore that
he was out of it, but has never been
able to withstand the temptation to re-
enter when opportunity presented or
seemed to present itself.
He is somewhat like the bon vivant
who can't resist the enticing cup, and
who grows delirously happy in the
process of getting drunk, but who is so
dreadfully punished by the after eff
fects of the reyelry, that he repeatedly
swearso off. The ex-governor can't with
stand the hattery of popular applause
and he is never so happy as
when leading the hosts of democracy to
victory, but he suffers tortures at the
hands Of the politicians and the news-
papers after the election and swears,
when he nee gets out of it, he will stay
out.
1t is not astonishing that he finds it
impossible to resist the calls of popular
affection. In spite Of all his faults in
the administration of Office, he is the
most populaa man in Tennessee today.
This was never more strikingly illus.
trated than in his farewell address al
Nashville on Monday. In spite of the
fact that he was going out of office and
had no more favors to bestow, and il
spite of the fact that a large part of hi
audience were politicians who had bit
terly fought him in his political con
tests, he swayed the crowd as if by
magic. No orator ever had more sin
cere homage paid him. Does any on,
believe that such a man can keep or b
kept out of politics? Let acne of hi
enemies deceive themselves by think
ing SO. The Orator of the Watauga i
