1t is evident that during this session

It is evident that during TINS SESSION
OF congress there will be n determined
effort to establish .
LEASING leasing system for the
THE grazing lands of the
GRAZING public domain, and IL
LANDS. is also evident that the
congressman who are
trying to deal with the subject need en-
lightenment concerning the diversified
conditions under which stccknen are
opera ting on the open ranges 1t IS
such difficult problem to solve that it
is next to impossible to have national
legislation upon the subject without
doing injustice to many localities and
defeating the ends OF the proposed leg
islation. SO far as revenue is concerned
1t is generally conceded that there
is justice in the abstract proposition
that. the grazing lands should yield 4
rental Perhaps a majority of stock
owners themselves favor the idea. At
least the National Live Stock conven-
ton held at Chicago the first of this
month adopted resolutions in favor OF a
leasing system. Such policy if proper
~ worked out, would put an end to con-
f!icts over range rights, and from this
standpoint the idea appeals to stock
men. But the difficulty. lies in franz
ing law which viii be just to all sec
tions, unless wide discretion is left
with the secretary OF the interior.
The bills introduced in the lower
house by Representative Stephens Of
Texas "a synopsis of whose measure
is given in today's Republican, and
Representative Bowersock of Kansas
both provide that the minimum price
shall be two cents per acre. There are
many ranges in Arizona rs we'll as
throughout the arid region. for which
a rental Of a quarter OF a cent Per
acre would be too burdensome to the
cattle raisers. Numerous ranges en-
brace vast areas OF land upon which
the actual grazing is almost minus
quantity, yet such areas are necessarily
embraced in order TO afford the proper
protection to each range. It is the
manifest ignorance concerning these
conditions which makes it dangerous
TO fix arbitrarily a minimum rental
figure. If the government is to deal
with the subject at all TIE widest pos
sible latitude should be given to the
interior department in the matter of
figures.
The national leasing proposition is
one more illustration of the dis
advanta ges of leaving the arid lands
in the hands of the general govern
ment. However dilligent Wa shington
officials may be in studying conditions
in each locality. it is practically i'm
possible al a distance of thousands OF
miles to deal with purely local ques-
tons as satisfactorily as they could be
handled at home. If Arizona owned
her arid lands an acceptable and
equitable system of leasing the ranges
could be devised, and the resulting
revenues would materially lessen the
burden OF the taxpayers. The situation
in this respect viii be greatly inn
proved. OF course, if Delegate Smiths
statehood bill becomes law, for then
the state will own a large portion OF
the land covered by the ranges.

tude OF this government would be

Nearly all Americans were puzzled
b. the Associated Press dispatches
from Athens a few
THE GREES weeks ago. in which it
RIOTS. was stated that the liz
tie kingdom of Greece,
and Athens particularly, was in an
uproar over the proposal to translate
the New Testament into modern
Greek. The rioting was led by the
students of Athens. and several MEM
bers OF the cabinet were forced 20 re-
sign.
The London Spectator. in an inter
esting article on the subject, explains
why there was such furious opposition
tc the proposed translate According
to that paper the orthodox church is
characterized neither by rancor nor
fanacticisln. and what has seemed to
bc a religious quarrel was something
different The cause of the trouble
was not religious. but purely linguistic.
The language OF the medern Greeks
has emerged from centuries of buffet
ing and arrogant persecution; and as
It is spoken "of the common people" it
has little likeness to the language OF
the ancient Greeks. But the first con
Germ of the Greeks as a nation is to
trace their history directly TO the sDlen-
did origin of HelIas. The best proof in
the world tina. you are descended from
a certain stock is that you speak the
language of that stock. Here we come
to the very heart OF the matter. The
cultivated Greeks have set themselves
to assimilste their language to tine
ancient model How did they contrive
to turn their language back on its own
course? They revived old words and
grammatical uses which had quite de-
serted the language they had been born
to SPEAK: nor did they always under
stand the right use of their innova-
tions. One might say of them that
though they wrote it all by rote, they
did not write it right" The result Of
the whole process is that there is an
eve. widening gulf between the COM
mon language on the one side, and the
official and written language ON the
other. Take an approved modern
Greek dictionary, use the words whic "A
it viii give you for the necessaries Of
life. and you VIII find that il many
cases the country shopkeeper will have
no notion what you mean.
The few educated Greeks who have
opposed this artificial process have
been pursued with obloquy and have
been called traitors. There is NJ. PaI,ls,
for example, who is responsible for the
version of St. Matthew into modern
Greek which has excited the riots.
Here, again, the Greeks are not with
out n s;lrewd perception. If they ever
allowed the New Testament in its
early Greek form to be deposed from
its eminence as the one and only au-
thority which is in public use. they
would cut Il link with the past that IS
Il genuine force OF strength. The Greek
church would then have nothing TO
distinguish it peculiarly from, gay. the
bulgarian church. 1T would he on the
same standing with all the other
churches. insted of being the Only
church in the world which officially
uses the New Testament in it's ancient
Greek form. In this sense. perhaps, the
cause of the riots may be said to have
been religious; but 1t Will be seen that
even in this aspect the cause is at
bottom linguistic.
