Lease of Government Land

Dodge City, Jan. 20.-At a meeting of
the Dodge City Connie cial club, held
Saturday afternoon and largely at
tended by business men and farmers,
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Dodge City Commercial club, do
most earnestly condemn the proposed
Bowersock land grazing bill for the
following reasons, to-wft:
s'First-We believe that, if this bill
be Immediately appropriated, so far as
possible, by the large cattle interests,
to the detriment of the small farmer
and stock raiser.
Second-That ii will serve as a bar
rier to the homesteader and destroy the
full privileges under that act. While
the proposed bill on it's face does not
interfere with the operations of the
homestead law, we know that it has
been demonstrated that land will not
be settled upon and taken up as home
steads where the land is covered by a
lease, and that many settlers, especial
1y newcomers. viii not file on a tract
of land. although he has a perfect
right to settle on it, This has been one
result of a state lease law applicable
10 school lands.
ssThird-That the one aim of this bill
Is to prevent further settlement of this
western country.
-'Fourth-That this bill places a rental
on all western land, and as decided land
adjoining government or homestead
land in many of the counties in this
district is selling today at $500 to $500
per quarter section, and is renting at
$40 to $50 per quarter section, and If

ment, and the county and state derive
no benefits and, further. that IT - leg
islation in favor of the few and against
the many.
''Sixth-That during the past few
years all properties in western Kansas
have wonderfully advanced in value,
and that such a bill will depreciate
these values there is no question
''Seventh-That we most earnestly
ask our senators and congressman to
use every influence in their power to
prevent any such bill as the one pro-
posed from becoming a law. and, fur
Their, that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to each of our United States
senators from Kansas and to our con-
gresham, Mr.. Long, and that copy
be sent to the Topeka Daily Capital,
the Topeka State Journal, and the KAN
