ton cannot continue federal leasing in
large tracts would be the correct thing
for Idaho interests. However owing
10 the different conditions in the sew
eral states, Mr. Wood was not pre-
pared to say that cession to the states
ard liberal state leasing laws would
not be the best thing for all concerned.
F. L. Oswald agreed with Mr.. Wood
and added that under the present sys-
tenn the small cattlemen and sheeprnen
do not suffer, in fact they seem to fare
better than the large holders. The stock
raisers are taxed, said Mr.. Oswald,
and if the taxes received in every
county in the Union were as much as
are paid in Blaine county, where the
stock industry is extensively carried
on, sufficient money would be raised in
one year to pay off the entire national
debt.
How Utah Stands.
q Governor Wells said that while he
had been unable to arrive at q definite
conclusion as to the prevailing senti-
ment of the people of this state on the
question of the disposition of the arid
lands. he knew that stock growers are
opposed to any change in the present
status of the lands So long as present
policies are continued reclamation Of
INC 81 IL htildlA - Oul OF the question.
If these lands were Internationally
coded 10 the states they could be leased
by state act and the revenue therefrom
used for the construction of reservoirs
for reclamation purposes. Either this
or federal assistance is necessary if we
would have greater population and
larger areas under cultivation.
The impotency of the Carey arid land
law, which permits states TO ACQUIRE
arid lands under certain conditions for
reclamation, was pointed out by the
governor. Senator Rawlins and Repre-
sentative King. added the governor, IA

sentiment of the state could be polled

the views Of Governor Thomas of

Governor Smith of Montana was
satisfied that the farmers and the
sheep men of his state would be OPP
posed to the cession of the public lands.
but that cattle growers T-ould favor
such action. He believed his constitu-
ents would favor a resolution by this
conference expressing satisfaction with
the present status Of the arid lands,
opposing federal leasing and expressing
a preference for cession rather than
leasing.
Governor Poynter of Nebraska stated
that the stOckmen of his state were
opposed to both the federal leasing and
government cesSion doctrines and they
are satisfied with existing conditions.
Desiring to act in harmony with the
sentiments of his constituents, he
concurred with the expressions of Gov
ernor Smith. AS between federal leas-
ing and ceesiOn Governor Poynter said
his people would much prefer the latter.
and leasing of the arid tracts by the
state would be preferred to government
leasing.
South Dakota Sentiment.
Concurring with the sentiment of
" y
South Dakota declared for the cesslon
of the arid lands to the states for local
control, revenue and reclamation pur-
poses. Only the owners of large herds
of cattle favored government owner
ship or federal leasing. If the lands
are ceded to the states, urged Governor
Lee, they can be leased by the state in
the interest of large numbers Of small
holders, thereby benefting the greater
number instead of allowing the lands
to be monopolized by a few large stock
raisers. If the government intended to
lease the lands he would favor a reSo-
luton that such leases be made in
small tracts in order that the small
cattle owner might be protected.
representing the state of Washing
ton, Commissioner Holcomb said that
he would oppose leasing the public
domain in large areas. Fearing that a
proposition from this conference to-
ward cesSion would meet with strong
opposition from the department of the
interior, he thought the wise thing to
do now would be simply TO resolve
against the proposition OF federal lea6-
ing, but nevertheless he believed ces-
sion the proper solution.
]. d. Wood, representing the wool
growers of Idaho, stated that his con-
stituency, is opposed to any form of
