LAND GRABBING MOVE OF THE
 CATTLE KINGS"

According to reports to the Interior Department at Washington the greater part of the public domain in the West has been illegally appropriated by the cattle kings A bill was introduced in Congress recently which, under the pretext of providing funds for irrigating the arid regions of the West, gives to syndicate practically a monopoly of the most valuable public lands for pastur- ing cattle. There is ground for the sus- picion that the landgrabbers have an understanding" with the Meat Trust. An official of the Interior Department expresses the opinion that the relations between the trust and those who have unlawfully taken possession of the Western grazing lands are closer than appears on the surface. At anv rate the Government is apparently deter mined to eject the trespassers, even If force Is necessary.
 This bold scheme of syndcates to ab- sorb the best pasture lands of the West deserves the severest condemnation The Government Is to be congra tula ted upon the efforts which it is making to protect the interests of the country The national policy Is benefcent one It provides for the distribution of the pub lie domain among actual home-seekers and settlers. Recently, however, set tiers in the West have been compelled
The daily morning journal and courier., 1902-05-10

l to make their homes in the least desire | able territory the best and most pros ductive grazing areas having been fenced in by the cattle kings Tn Ne-
 braska the land thus unlawfulIy occu- pied comprises most of the public land
 of that State still open to settlemnt In
 Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexi-S co, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon.. South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming many miles of land have been
 inclosed within wire fences by cornbina-
 tions and syndicates of cattle raiserS
 In New Mexico the situation is almost
 incredible. In this Territory, 1t as af-
 legged half of the public land has been
 illegally appropriated by the cattiemen
 for pasturing.
 If the bill now under consideration by
 Congress should be passed, it is estl-
 mated that 400,000000 acres of vacant
 public lands west of the Mississippi riv-
 CT would be monopo1ized by the cattle-
 men for term Of years. The bill not
 only provides for a long lease of these
 valuable grazing lands but also gives
 the syndicate the privilege of renewal. Settlers seeking homes would find tha
 public domain exempted by the cattlda kings Conditions are bad enough lif1~ der the existing system of illegal occu-
 patton, which the Interior Department is trying to break up. It is inconceiy- able, therefore, that congress will enact
 legislation perpetuating the systemy
 however artfully the bill may be baited with an amendment creating a fund for irrigation To lease the grazing lands as proposed would enable the syndicates in possession of the public domain to N cooperate effectively with the packers in maintaining a meat monopoly. Irri- gation may possibly be good thing for some of the Western States, but It < ought not to be established by methods which would be disastrous to the meat consumers of the Eastern States. It would be far better to apportion thS public domain among thrifty settlers. and let the country depend upon them < for it's food supply, than upon syndil cates of cattlemen whose relations with the Beef Trust are open to suspicion. Y With the 400. 100000 acres of grazing land occupied by industrious farmers, there would be no scarcity of meat in the future VI
 Fifty years ago the grazing lands of the West furnished the finest forage for live stock. Since then they have been over-stocked and large stretches of ter- ritory have been destroyed In dis- patch from Washington a cattle raiser of long experience is quoted as saying that every year 100000 acres of meadow disappear and 5000, 900 acres of desert take their place." If this con- K tinues it will not be many years Before the United States loses a poten,tal source of wealth--the richest and most extensive grazing area in the world The Government is warranted in taking vigorous nea sures to preserve the pas- ture lands in the public domain from x the encroachments of the grasping syn~ 4 dicates Congress ought not to pass any bills which will make it more diffi-# cult for the Government to enforce tho law against the cattle kings of the West-the suspected allies of the meat monopoly.

THREE NEW STATES.

Washington, May 9--The opposition in the house to the bill for the admis- sion of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico collapsed at the last minute to day and the bill was passed with out division as it came from the committee, except for a few verbal amendments. The real test came on the amendment offered by MT. Overstreet of Indiana to join New Mexico and Arizona and ad- init them as the state of MdRtezuma. It was beaten 2S to 106, and all opposi- tion on them ceased. The closing scenes of the debate were accompanied by d dramatic incident which narrowly es- capped being a tragedy. Delegate Mark A. Smith of Arizona, who has been fighting for the admission of his terri tory for a dozen years had just made a vigorous speech against the Overstreet amendment when he was seized with a rush of blood to the head He was conveyed to the lobby where several physicians, who are members of the house, by prompt administration of powerful heart stimulants saved him from stroke of apoplexy He later rallied and was removed to his hotel

CUSTER ACTION BROUGHT.
Filed In Missouri Against the Beef
 Trust.

Jefferson City, Mo. May 9.-Attorney General Crow tonight filed in the su- preme court custer proceedings against the Armour Packing company, the Hammond Packing company, the Cuda- hy Packing company, Armour & Co.,, and the Krug Packing company for al- legged violating of the state antitrust laws, in combining to fix and maintain prices and to control the supply of dressed, cured and smoked meats and lard in Missouri. An alternative writ was issued returnable May 30 The in- formation alleges that Nelson Morris &, Co. of Kansas City and Schwarzschild X Sulzberger of Kansas City are in the combination, but as they are co-part- nerships it will require another kind of proceeding to reach them. This will be filed immediately by the attorney general. The proceedings are the re- suit of the inquiry this week before Judge Burgess, where evidence was se- cured from butchers and dealers. United States Attorney General Knox telegraphed Attorney General Crow to- day for a copy of the evidence and he will furnish 1t at once.
