Senate Joint Memorial No. 4. by
Senator Taylor. concerning the public
land laws. was unanimously adopted
by the Senate as follows:
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives Of the United States
OF America in Congress Assembled:
Your mcmorialist. the Fourteenth
General Assembly OF the state of Colo
RADIO. respectfully represent to your
honorable body that.
Whereas. there Is now pending be-
fore the Congress of the United States
bill providing for the repeal of all
existing desert land laws: and.
Whereas. II Is confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal is
being conducted largely in the inter-
csts OF the land grant railroads. for
the purpose of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
lands. and.
Whereas. the present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement of
homes by certain of our citizens by
reclaiminE and developing numerous
small intermountain valleys that can
not be reclaimed under any other law;
and.
Whereas. the federal land laws now
on our statute books have been of
great benefit in the development of
this state, and have operated satis-
factoriiy wherever their provisions
have been carried out in good faith;
and.
Whereas. we believe that any change
in the present desert land laws of the
United states would be detrimental to
the great intermountain region. and
would especially retard the develop
mput of our state
Therefore. We earnestly protest
against the passage of said bill and
against any Interference at this time
with the desert land laws of the United
States; and further. we direct that a
certified copy of this memorial be
forthwith sent TO our senators and
representatives in Congress.
