Heels HALF : yard High,

The streets Of the old city Of Venice
were often extremely thick in mud, In
spite or the great sewers which dated
from the tenth century. Even now
the thoroughfares between the Piazza
and Rialto are sometimes sufficiently
bad. We are writing OF the time when
the population was nearly five times
what II now Is, and when Venetian
trade was at It's zenith. Well, to com.
bat this mud the ladies' took to high
heeled shoes.
As the mud grew worse the heels
became taller and taller until ut length
they were half a yard high and as dill
cult to control al a pair of stills with
out handles. The consequence was
that a lady in full dress, obliged to
walk but a few yards, had to be sup
ported on both sides. This was q task
| for the black pages or for the lovers,
| who had at that time become a very
conventional part OF Venetian society.

Land Laws Made By Senator
From Montana
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
Nothing OF Greater Value Can
Engage the Attention of Law
Makers Than Its Pre-
servation
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN

WASHINGTON. D. G., Ap,il S "A
scathing arraignment of the United
States .ni.i c land iaws was made in
the senate last week BY Senator Glib
son Of Montana In support Of his bill
to repeal the desert land act and The
Communication clause OF the home
stead act.
Nothing Of greater value to the
nation he said, "can engage the at
tention Of our law makers than the
preservation OF the public domain for
the people who will make homes upon
IL" He referred to the desert land
act, the communication clause Of the
homestead act and the timber and
stone act as potent aids to land frauds
in the west and the consolidation Of
great tracts Of public land into feudal
estates, used for stockraising and
without the benefit which comes to

homemaking and settlement, He
quoted from the reports Of various
secretaries of the interior and com
missioners of the land Office instances
Of enormous areas of land which had
been entered under these laws and
Immediately transferred to wealthy
individuals and syndicates. He cited
the case Of j. B. Haggin in California
who with his associates had acquired
over 100000 acres Of land under the
desert act and another case of AS, 900
acres in Cheyenne, Wyoming, lana
district which was entered and after
proof Immediately transferred to q
corporation. The entrymen in this
case had never even seen the land.
He quoted many other official state.
ments showing enormous land frauds
and called attention to the rapid in.
crease in the absorption Of the public
lands as follows:

Our present system Of land laws
he said, is all that could be desired
IL 1t is the part of wisdom to give the
ownership and control Of the land III
eight or ten states In the Union 10 a
few men and companies who will use
them for cattle ranges rather than
to hold them for millions Of
homeless American citizens.
THE preservation OF the public
lands for settlers has held an impor-
tant place in almost every presiden-
tial platform for fifty years past, and
yet congress, instead Of preserving
the public domain for settlers, has
been willing TO enact laws by which
II has been turned over In large bod
les to capitalists.
rs there no danger to the future
of this country when we make laws to
enable capitalists and foreigners TO
acquire vast bodies OF public land
upon which a system Of tenantry Is
being established as absolute as any
In Europe?
Single individuals and single for
eign companies in the United States
are known to own each from 1000, 600
to 100000 acres OF land, while II Is
a common occurrence for one man OF
a company TO acquire directly from
our government under our present
land laws tracts Of land from 10000
to 100000 acres.
Il am aware he said, that the
most determined efforts are being
employed to prevent the repeal OF
these land laws; but ! submit that
these efforts are inspired chiefly BY
men who are employing millions Of
dollars in acquiring large land hold
ings directly from the nation"
Senator Patterson Of Colorado
stated that he felt much In sympathy
with the argument Of the senator
from Montana, that he was a member
OF the house at the time Of the pass
age Of the desert ACT, and that he
was familiar with It's operations AMI
