should be rigidly enforced by the
executive department
The next duty of Congress
should be to repeal the Desert
Land Act, the communication clause
of the Homestead Act, under
which large areas of the public
domain are being gobbled up by
spectators and land monopolists.
The public lands are the heri-
tage of the people, and they
should be preserved for the people
the home-seekers and the home
builders. The great object and
purpose of the national irrigation
movement must not be defeated
by any legislation that would turn
public property over to private
monopoly and give the heritage of
the people to unscrupulous greed.
Let Congress once and for all be
made to understand that the over
whelming public sentiment of the
entire country is that this principle
should be the fixed policy of the
Nation-the preservation of the
public lands for actual settlers and
home makers. .-MaxweWS Tails

THE LEASING BILL.

In his annual report the Secre-
tary of the Interior calls attention
to a bill now before Congress, pro-
viding for the leasing of public
lands for grazing purposes, and
points out the inevitable results
that would follow the passage of
the bill, as follows:
Should that bill become a law,
the public domain in the Sixteen
States and Territories mentioned
therein, aggregating an area of
525,ooo,ooo acres, practically all of
the vacant public domain west of
the Mississippi would be subject
to lease at cents per acre for ten
years, with a privilege of renewal
for ten years more.
"It is needless to say that such
a bill, if enacted into law, would
place the last acre of desirable
public land out of the reach of the
homeseeker and defeat the pur-
pose of the government to preserve
the public domains for actual set
tiers. 1t would also defeat the
operations of the reclamation act,
and make possible the formation
of land monopoly never contem-
plated by the public-land system,
but which, on the contrary, it is
one of the purposes of that system
to prevent.
There are other Objectionable
features in this bill, but those
pointed out ought to be sufficient
to convince Congress that the
measure should be defeated.
1t is the avowed policy of the
government to preserve the public
domain for homes for actual set
tiers, but this policy, Secretary
Hitchcock observes, has no more
implacable and relentless foe than
the class that seeks to occupy the
public lands for grazing purposes
by maintaining unlawful fences
thereon" By the act of February
IS, 1885, provision is made for the
institution of civil proceedings for
the removal of such fences, and
the criminal prosecution of the
trespassers. The same law auth
orizes the President to invoke both
the civil and the military power,
if necessary, to remove these un-
lawful distractions. "Notwith
standing the passage of said act
and the efforts of this department
to enforce it," adds the Secretary,
'the abuse has continued, and the
benehciaries thereof have grown
so bold and arrogant that they
practically DEFY the efforts of the
department and the government
to execute the law"
The duty of Congress in this
matter ought to be clear, namely;
to kill and bury this leasing bill so
deep that there can be no possible
resurrection of it. Then the laws
regarding fencing the public lands

The land grabbers, with their

letter addressed to the press Of the
Western country by George H.
Maxwell, Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the National
Irrigation Association:
The press of the country has
with remarkable unanimity, ap-
proved and aided to bring about
the inauguration of the national
irrigation policy, and the mind
can hardly conceive the grandeur
of the results that will be attained
if the public lands which are sus-
ceptible of irrigation can be re-
claimed and settled by small farm
ers and actual home builders, un-
der the National Irrigation Act,
thus creating a dense population
in a vast territory that will other
wise remain utterly waste and
desolate.
What has been done in India
and Egypt will be cast in the
shade by the national benefits ac-
cruing to our people if the irri-
gable public lands can be reserved
for actual settlers only and made
available for settlement by the
construction of national irrigation
works, as fast as, and no faster
than settlers will take the land and
repay the government can and
must be returned through charge
on the lands reclaimed.
The grand national purposes of
the National Irrigation Act are in
grave danger of being thwarted
and defeated.
| The adoption of the national ir-
rigation policy and the increasing
value of the land for range pur-
poses has stimulated a raid on
public lands under which they are
being absorbed into private owner
ship i'll large tracts, without either
reclamation or settlement at an
appalling rate. The entries have
now reached over two million
acres month.
Only a trifiing proportion of
these entries are made by bona
fide settlers.
The public lands are the great
est asset of the national govern
ment The evil consequences to
the people resulting from their
loss are far more serious than
would follow the loss of money.
Unless the Desert Land Act and
the Communication Clause of the
Homestead Act are repealed at
this session of Congress, over
twenty million acres will be prac-
tically stolen.by spectators with
in the next year, a much more
serious loss to the government than
would be the loss in money from
the treasury of the value of the
land.
Yet what wave of public in
dignation would sweep over the
country and find voice in the press
if this session of Congress should
pass a law under which the treas
ury would be looted of such an
enormous sum of money as the
market value of these lands.
The actual cash value of public
lands which will be absorbed by
speculative entries within the
next year. if Congress does not
shake off its apathy and repeal
these iniquitous laws in this ses-
sion of Congress will be more than
a hundred million dollars. .
President Roosevelt has recon-
mended in his message to Congress
that these obnoxious land laws

The Citizen publishes in another
column OF today's issue, the articles
of the Craven Gold Mining company.
The papers were filed with the terrific
rial secretary the other day. The in
corporators and directors are George
l.. Brooks and Herbert o. Brooks, OF
this city, and Bernard T, STATE, of Kel-
ly. The mines of the company are To-
Gated at Kelly, Socorro county. but the
principal place of business will be AL
buquerque.
The Citizen was in error yesterday,
in announcing the death of John Tay-
lor of Scotland. The deceased was not
the father of John Hart, the carpenter
and contractor, but of the latter's wife.
Mr.. Taylor was SO years old, and for
over four years, IN account of his ex-
IRENE age, was totally blind, although
otherwise hale and strong in body and
mind. His death occurred on May 2S
at Cathnesshire, Scotland.
b. II. Thomas, manager of the Con
solidated Mining and Milling company,
of Cerrillos, was a north bound pas
senger on the delayed train this II
ing. Mr.. Thomas the past few months
has been kept pretty busy, overseeing
the company's business not only at
Cerrillos, but also at Hanover and
Magdalena, when several good mines
are being operated.
Hon. Solomon Luna, the big sheep
raiser of central and southern New
Mexico, came in from the south this
morning, and is around today among
his many friends of this city. He says
the people of Los Lunas have been
fighting the river the past two weeks,
and have prevented that town from
having a flood.
Horace Middleton, representing Laf-
lin & Rand Powder company, is at
Santa Fe today, and is due in Albu-
querque tonight. He is so popular with
the employees of the local hardware
houses, that the boys are likely to
meet Mr.. Middleton on his arrival at
the local depot with a brass band.
Hon. l.. Bradford Prince and r. l..
Baca came in from Santa Fe last
night. They are here on matters con-
nected with the hearing of testimony
in the Cebolleta land grant case.
