&~PP~AA " ou5 OHC acquainted
with conditions in the arid States
but without discussing that, this
point must be kept clearly in
mind: 1t was designed to create
conditions whereby poor people
could secure land for themselves,
at nominal cost, and water for the
land at reasonable initial cost,
with the assurance of ultimate own
ershlp of the works which supplied
the water. BY the law, in so far
as concerns the things to which it
relates, the State is constituted the
guardian of the peoples heritage.
Therefore, the whole concern of
the State authorities is to protect
actual settlers from extortion, and
prevent the acquisition of large
holdings by non-occupying specu-
lators.
Congress foresaw that attempts
might be made to pervert its benev-
olent purposes, and wisely guarded
against land grabbing schemes by
absolutely prohibiting the State
from selling to exceed 100 acres of
land to any one individual. Con-
formable to the letter, and the spirit
of the law, and to make impossible
its perversion, the Secretary Of the
Interior, drew up form of contract,
which every State, availing itself of
the benefit of the law, must sign.
The contract contains the following
clause: "Tnat said State shall not
lease any OF said lands, or use or
dispose of the same in any way
whatever, except to secure their
reclamation, cultivation and settle
ment; and that in selling and dis
posing of them for that purpose,
the said State may sell or dispose
of not more than 100 acres to any
one person, and then only to bona
6de settlers"
The Congress had in mind the
enactment of a measure which
would induce capital to invest il
irrigation enterprises and, which
at the same time, placed in the
hands Of the State ample power te
protect its own people from extor
ton and speculative greed. Con
gress had a right to presume tha
the first concernment of State All
thorities would be the welfare O
their own constituency, and tina
humanity and patriotism would in

that church a severe and-in the
cases of all who appreciatively ac-
cept your views-a fatal blow.
Abandoning the practice ofpoly-
gamy, does not mean, however,
that man is not to support his
polygamous wives and families.
He should support the former until
married, and the children during
the time of their dependency-in
fact just as he would be expected tc
care for the children of his first wife.
1t would be again placing Mormon
morals upon an exceedingly low
plain to even hint that the average
representative of this church must
be allowed to cohabit with his poly
gamous wives in order to insure
that he will provide necessary sup
port for them and his children!
Every time this argument is advanc-
ed by Mormons, they thereby inf1ict
a stunning blow upon themselves,
and upon their religious system;
and, of course, the effect is almost
as destructive when the blow hap
pens to be landed by so-called
friends of Mormons. 1t is thus i'm
piled that cannot be depended upon
to perform these common duties of
humanity! l can imagine intelli-
gent Mormons exclaiming, in the
language of Oscar Wilde, "Deliver
us frcm some of our would-be
friends!'
You make equally damaging ad-
missions, when you describe the
course of the indicted polygamist
who. merely because his lawyer ad'
vises it, pleads mot guilty!" You
say that this course involves
no small AMOUNT of subterfuge and
breuayicati0n" defined by Webster
as using decebtiveLy ambiguous or
evasive language"), "not scorning
to lie a little if the occasion de-
manps it." Is it lying that you
apologize for? A man telling lies in
order to shelter himself in the prac-
tice of his religion? If his religion
tolerates such conduct, he had bet
ter, ten thousand times, drop his
religion and cling to the truth.
If you have had opportunity to
acquaint yourself with the real
moral condition Of Mormons and
have expressed your views of their
spiritual condition accurately, you
are bearing fearful testimony against
them and their religion. You
are showing that polygamy, instead
Of being "the condition of the high

is degrading in the extreme! Again
can imagine intelligent Mormons
exclaiming, "Deliver US from some

something of that accrimony which

"1f the State of Idaho wants cit
;zeus it should repeal statue which
encourages the withdrawal OF large.
indies of irrigable land for specu-
,stiou; otherwise, it is not unreas"
orable TO believe that, in the rainless
mart of the State, conditions will
obtain similar to those in Nevada
which State has permitted its land
IN fall under the control of the
stockmen.
"The Idaho statute is in direct
conflict with National act, and, if
allowed to stand, would have made
it possible for corporations to secure
and hold immense tracts Of govern
ment land, creating a condition of
teuantry abhorrent to our National
policy. and detrimental to the best
interests of the State. II X
"The law, as it now stands, GER
taiuly permits corporations to con-
struct irrigation works, and en-
courages them to restrain settlement
until patents for the land are issued
tOthe company. These once issued,
the lands could be rented, sold or
held for speculation"
Such are the reasons given by
Commissioner Of the General Land
Office Richards for issuing an order
to the effect that no patents would
be issued by the United States to
the State of Idaho for lands with
drawn under the provisions of the
50 called Carey Act.
The question here raised is of
such importance that every citizen
Of the State is likely to be sufd-
GENTLY interested to wish to follow
an inquiry into the facts surround
ing it.
What is popularity known as the
Carey Act is section 4 of an act OF
Congress OF August 18, 1894, en-
titled, IAN act making appropria-
dons for sundry civil expenses ol
the Government for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1895, and for other
purposes" The intent of the ACT
was to induce reclamation of the
arid lands of the United States. by
irrigation, for the benefit OF citizens
seeking to make homes for them
selves wherein they might live
and rear their children in comfort
and independence. To accomplish
this benevolent purpose the Gov
ernment proposed to donate a mil
lion acres of the arid public domain
10 each of several States, among
them Idaho.
Without entering into details, i
may be said in a word, that th'
conditions upon which a State cal
avail itself of the benefits of the Law
are substantially as follows: Non
OF the land shall be leased or dis
posed of in any way, except to Sc
cure reclamation, cultivation AM
settlement; the State securing
grant, must not sell or dispose c
more than 100 acres to any on
person; title may not be given b
.ne United States to any Stat
LOT any tract of such land until a
'east 20 acres in each 100 are irr
