LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS

Elsewhere in our columns will be
found an interesting article contrib
uted to the New York Tribune by Mr..
Dan Slayton. of this county. upon the
leasing of public lands. Mr.. Slayton
certainly presents a very strong ar
gument in favor of leasing of the
strictly arid lands and clearly shows
that there are great areas OF such
lands that cannot be reclaimed by IL
rigation If the desert land law
should be repealed we believe ii
would be good policy ror the govern
ment to inaugurate a conservative
system of land leasing. Such course
would result In revenue to the govern
ment and afford protection to actual
settlers adjacent to arid lands. Ger.
tainly. with the desert land law re-
pealed. millions of acres would never
be reclaimed, hence the government
would not realize cent from them.
Under leasing law that would pre-
vent great tracts from being taken up
by one party or one company there
would not be the evils that Mr.. Stay
ton complains OF at present, and, as
he suggests. the money derived from
leasing would be used to swell the ir-
rigation fund. which will need reven-
ues from some source should several
OF the land laws be repealed.
Mr.. Slayton calls attention to the
evils that now exist in the region
south of the Snowies and which doubt
less work injury to settlers in other
parts of this state. Railroad and gov.
ernment lands are not only fenced in
large blocks. but floating bands OF
sheep and cattle denude the range in

OF affairs, would he be able to earn
slO day as mine manager?
IL has been shown by this newspa-
per heretofore that at least four COM
panies were held under the threat of
Judge Clancy to appoint a receiver If
that judge saw flt 10 do so later
II amounted to a threat to intiict up,
on each company a burden OF 1921 900
in costs, or considerably more than
million dollars In all however the
cases might be decided ultimately by
the higher court. II Ie law gives a
Judge power to pile up costs running
into millions. what shall be said Of
the law? II a Judge so misuses his
power, what shall be said of the
Judge?
Briefly summarized: No concern
that now does business in Montana
can continue to do business with the
possibility of one or more 1921 900
receiverships held over It as a men,
ace. 1t cannot hope to do business
II 1t is possible at a moments notice
to order series OF receiverships that
may cost from sl,1OOOOO upward.
This will be apparent to any man,
who has business interests in Mon
tana, or any other state.
AS TO the remedy: A fair trial is
little enough to ask. The last legis.
lature by two-thlrds vote passed a
bill providing for change of Judge
and a fair trial of the issues. The
bill was technically defective. il was
determined afterward. But lawyers
are agreed that the result can be ac-
complished lawfully. Now the min
ers' unions of the state request that
the remedy be applied.
If a Judge has the power TO pay an
individual. an ally and coadiutor OF
one OF the litigants, an exorbitant
sum for nominal services. what would
he not do with the proceeds of the
concern in a continued receiyership
Is is a phase of the question that will
appeal to the serious-minded business
man And, since it is admitted to be
wrong. why not amend the law, try
the issues fairly and end the trouble
now and for all time to come?-Hel.

DOWIE'S FAILURE,

After having been in New York
ten days New York correspondent
Of the Chicago Record-Herald. sized
up the non-fulfllment of Alexander
Dowie's promises as follows:
Not one person has been immersed
in his baptismal tank and the house
to house visitation maniiests no re-
suits whatver. In pecuinary way
Dowie's New York campaign has been
dispiriting, Collections have been
taken in the garden each day and
night. but Deacon Newcomb stated to-
day that the aggregate receipts had
not been enough TO pay gas bills.
Madison square garden costs Dowie
81 600 a day. and his personal expen-
ses. including an expensive suite of
rooms at the Fifth Avenue hotel. pri-
yate car and carriage hire, must
bring his daily expenses up into the
thousands.
When Dowie came to New York he
promised that he would accomplish
the following things:
Fill Madison Square Garden with
converts.
Festoon the walls of the garden
with crutches and canes of those who
were healed.
Babtize thousands.
Drive the devil from Manhattan is
land, from within the hearts of the
people and take s5OOOO.OOO back to
Zion.
The things he really has and has
not done are:
Devoted nine days and nights to
billingsgate and abuse.
Has not healed a body or converted
soul.
Has not baptized man. woman OF
child.
Has had his horses attached by the
sheriff.
Has publicly proclaimed himself OF
illegitimate birth.
Has spent something like quarter
Of million dollars without taking in
enough TO pay gas bills.

bearing on national issues whatever,
except that with Tammany in con.
troll year hence it will give the Dem
Ocrats great advantages IN the city.
In Ohio Hanna is on top in the legis-
lature by a big majority. while John
son, Democrat. for governor, is over
whelmingly defeated, probably by ov-
er 100000 majority.
Massachusetts, Nebraska and Iowa
are, of course, Republican by the u.s.
ual Off-year majorties. Bryan has lost
his prestige in his home state.
In Maryland, German, who is a
prospective candidate for the presi.
dency has probably elected his man,

iority. At this writing there is no in,
