The Land Lease Question.

The objections to the land leas-
ing bill now pending in congress
is not confined to any particular
class or locality. The recommen-
dations of the governor to the
Legislature does not favor the
bill nor does the cattle associations
Of the state. The Legislature
will recommend congress not to
pass it. Several of the western
Cattle Associations have passed
resolutions opposing the bill but
express themselves in favor of a
lease law if properly drawn.
We are of the opinion that the
government land should not be
leased on any terms. A better
solution of the vexed question
would be to amend the homestead
law so that in the semi arid
localities where the land can not
be irrigated, so as to allow a
person to homestead a section or
two of land instead of a quarter
as now.
Could this be done there would
be scarcely any government land
subject to homestead entry in
north Western Nebraska in the
next twelve months. The influx
of homeseekers from the east
would populate every section in
the north west part of the state.
1t would encourage the growth
of small ranches and make the
sand hill country the most prof.
table part of the state. And "a
we stated last week, in a very
short time the taxes derived from
the land and property kept would
be a Source of revenue for the
counties and state far in excess
of the amount the government
might realize from its leases
We hope that President Roose

method to dispose of those land;
will be adopted. This will give
an opportunity to present tn,

there was any reason why farm
ers as near Broken Bow as any
other market should take their
hogs to other points. In the
past six weeks with one or two
exceptions the price paid by our
local buyers on the day we go to
press have been higher than at
any other market in the county.
Sargent prices have kept nearer
the price paid in Broken Bow
than either of the others. Two
weeks ago the price quoted at
Sargent was ten cents below the
price paid here. When hogs are
on the rise, one day, some times
makes difference on the prices
as quoted. For instance last
week on Thursday hogs were
selling for $5.95 in Broken Bow,
the day we went to press, on the
day following the Sargent paper
quoted them six cents in Sargent.
The same price was paid here on
that date.

Since writing the editorial on
the Land Leasing Question, "
which appears in these columns,
the state Legislature has adopted
a resolution in opposition to the
Dietrich bill, and recommending
that congress amend the Home
stead law so as to provide for the
homesteading of a section of
land in the sand hill country in
compliance with our editorial in
last weeks REPUBLICAN. AS the
action of the Legislature practic-
ally kills the Dietrich bill, it is
to be hoped shat the next session
of congress will pass a bill EN-.
bodying the section homestead,
for the semi arid land that is not
subject to irrigation. Such {
law will in a very short time
populate the entire north west
with at least one family on {
section that is now without pop
ulation.

A veteran of the Spanish war
recently appealed to the Secretary
of the Interior a case in which he
claimed pension on account of
corns that he had contracted oy
wearing army shoes. The de-
partment, after an exhaustive
course of reasoning, comes to the
conclusion that corns are not a
pensionable disability. The de-
cision says: Corns are inconven-
lent, but are seldom incapacitat-
ing, and when they are the
remedy is simple and within the

ing out of the Omaha scheme,
we would state that for the year
1901 the Union Pacific and B. &
M. roads paid in school taxes
alone to the school districts along
their lines in Custer coHnty, S.
926.23. If Omaha is permitted
to work the local taxation
scheme, as the city officers de-
clare they intend to do, these
Custer county districts must lose
from twelve to fifty per cent of
their railroad tax.
1t is we'll known that the rail-
roads are interested in the up
building of all parts of the state,
and that thereby they build up
their own business. The valu-
able railroad properties located
in Omaha are not there for the
sole benefit of Omaha, but for
the benefit of the whole systems.
The scheme has just been at
tempted in Illinois, where Chica-
go wanted to grab the railroad
taxes for local purposes. The
attorney general stood for the
people of his state, and delared
that the scheme would result in
loss Of at least twenty per cent
in taxes to each of the out side
counties. The case went to the
courts, and a few days ago it was
decided against Chicago and in
favor of the rural counties. The
Omaha real estate boomers desire
to get around a decision like this
by Legislative enactment, and
thus deprive the outside counties
and districts of Nebraska of from
IS to rs per cent of the railroad
taxes which they have heretofore
received.
1t is a good time for members
of the Legislature from the in
terror of the state to be constant
ly on their guard against this
dangerous movement. There
will be no division of sentiment
among those who inform them
selves on the question.
Omaha has built up its trade
and gained its wealth because of
the toll and produce of the rural
communities. The grab game in
the matter of railroad taxes looks
like base ingratitude. 1t is like
an attempt to kill the goose that
laid the golden egg. 1t would
seem to be in order for the con-
stituency in the counties all over
the state to notify their represent
tatives in the Legislature of their
disapproval of the Omaha scheme.
In the new revenue law promis-
ed, higher valuation will be put
upon rail road property as we'll as
other property, but Omaha nor
any other terminal city should
receive more than its pro-
portional share of the increase.
