REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE.

The report Of the investigating CON.
mittee of the house of representatives
appointed to look into the manner in
which the state board of equalization
arrives at its valuation OF property and
to recommend some method OF relief,
has been submitted in printed form to
the house. A careful perusal does not
avail much, as the Information before
the committee was OF such an indefi'
mite nature h 1t could not reach
definite conclusions. This fact is
frankly acknowledged in the report.
After discussing at some length the
information ct hand the committee
reaches the conclusion that the several
classes of property in the state inves'
tigated by the board are taxed as fol.
lows: Railroads pay on Z per cent Of
their actual value, coal companies on
10 per cent, sheep on 40 per cent, cat
tie on 40 per cent, horses on 40 pei
cent and farms and implements on 80
per cent.
In the conclusions reached by the
committee no account appears to have
been taken OF moneys and credits
stocks OF merchandise. capital employ
ed in business and manufacture, OF
town lots and improvements. The con
mittee says ''city business property
has not been Investigated sufficiently
to warrant us to give an estimate
The evidence before the committee
shows the average assessment to be
from 25 per cent to 33 per cent on the
value"

to the board of equalization, and its in
formation Is So indefinite that 1t a

spect.
Wyoming needs ar assessment law
that will more nearly equalize all the
property Of the state, but the Moses
able to evolve such a law has not
stepped forth. The committee well
VA that no one should be heard to
complain against the equal assessment
of all classes Of property. but just how
to arrive at equality is not fully set
forth.
The senate committee is still to be
heard from.

ing to introduce such a bill. Judging
from the experience that the commit
teo on public lands of the house has
had with such measures heretofore,
even where they applied only to linn
tied sections Of the country. as In the
case of the Nebraska leasing bill. |
know 1t would be utterly impossible
for that committee to agree on any
kind or sort OF a leasing bill and If
they were to agree upon such a bill, II
would find but little favor before the
house.
Now as to the Burkett bill, which
| believe represents the administra-
tion's Idea Of range control; there Is
no more probability Of this measure
becoming a law, at least at this session,
than there is OF leasing legislation. !

has been proposed during my service
in congress than this same PROPOSE
ton for federal control of the range.
The annoyances. vexations, injustices
and expense that such a system would
bring and entail upon the western peo-
pie are too patent to require elabora-
ton in this letter. You have very clear
ly referred to some of them in your
letter.
II have noted with interest FOUR sug-
gestion Of land leasing and administra-
ton by the states. or OF a joint control
between the states and the federal gov
eminent. While l think that some
such plan might work out. from my
experience in congress l would say
that it is out of the question to hope
to bring about such a condition.

HIGH IN EFFICIENCY.

General Superintendent w. l.. Parl
of the Union Pacific has in a few brle'
years risen from the humblest walks o
railway life to a railroad operator o
national Importance. Tuesday nor
ing's Denver Republican contained al
excellent likeness of the gentleman
and a writeup OF his work that did
him great credit. Mr.. Park has just
returned from a trip to the national
capital. where he was called to give
advice relating to the probable opera
ton of the proposed l6-hour law.
In the Republican interview Mr.

says numerous tests have been made
by the Union Pacific and that very few

very high order of efficiency. They
have a keen sense of personal respon-
sibility and are ever alive to duty.
This accounts for the extremely small
number of accidents that the Union
Pacific has been compelled to record
while other liues were having smashup
after smashup. To be sure, tremen-
dous business brings added risk and
greater responsibility, but the engine
men INT the trainmen have been equal
to the occasion and have kept the
death loss and the loss Of property al
the very minimum.
The Republican believes there are
few roads in the United States that
have the large number of employees
who have been upwards of twenty
years in service possessed by the
Union Pacific, and it can be said of
all those men that they are efficient
and honorable in the service Of the
company. General Superintendent w.
l. Park can well be proud of their
record and they are deserving Of his
commentator M praise.

is passed it goes without saying that
such control should not be taken hur-
riedly, but gradually, as grazing dis
tricts can be organized. There is one
prime essential in this policy Of range
control-the homesteader must be pro-
tected in his rights to create a home
for his family and he must have what
ever range rights are necessary for
that purpose.
at is unlawful at present to fence
the public domain. All fences unlaw-
fully maintained will have to be taken
down. Unless congress takes action
to legalize reasonable and necessary
fenclng tnruueh government control Of
the range, there will be a very serious
loss to stockmen throughout the west,
whose business in very many cases
cannot be conducted without fencing,
and this loss will often fall hardest on
the small man.
Fences Must Come Down.
Il cannot consent to a clause contin-
uing for a year, or for any length Of
time. the present illegal fencing.
THE utmost l will consent to, SO far
as my power extends in the matter OF
legislation, is to continue such fences
as in my judgment 1t is right and prop
er for me to continue. My first are Is
for the homesteader and the small
stockman. The opposition we have to
our proposal now comes primarily from
the big men who Craze wandering
focks Of sheep and who do not pro-
mote the real settlement of the country.
These men are the men whose inter-
ests are Numerically hostile to those
of the homemakers, who wish 10 eat
out and destroy the country where he
desires permanently to live, and who,
when they have thus ruined the land
of the homesteader and small stock
man, move elsewhere to repeat the
process of devastation. Many Of the

ers, unfortunately, sympathize with
their nomadic brothers, the ultimate
result of whose actions is to destroy
the country.
Aimed at Homesteader.
ut must be distinctly understood
that the opposition to the proposition
to the proposed for govern
ment control is opposition aimed at the
interests Of the homemaker, of the
of the small stockman,
Of the large stockman who desires that
the country shall become better and
not worse, and that it is in the inter-
ssts only of those who think that by
continuing the present system they

Washington, Feb. 13.-Government
policy in regard to the control of graz
ing land in the public domain, the in
terests of large and small cattlemen,
the sheepmen and the relations of
stockmen and homesteaders were con
sidered at a public hearing before the
s -~mmittee on agriculture.
The hearing was 49,. on n, .mend.
ment by Senator Burkett of NeDIas--
to the agricultural appropriation bill
authorizing the secretary OF agricul-
ture to district the u~nreserved lands
and charge n collect reasonable fees
for grazing. The cattlemen were rep
resented by members Of the American
National Live Stock association, who
favored the measure, while the Sheep
men, represented by members OF the
National Wool Growers association,
opposed it. During the proceedings a
letter from President Roosevelt ad-
dressed to Senator Warren was read.
1t endorsed general control by the gov
eminent of grazing lands, but insisted
upon the protection of the homesteader
and arraigned the sheepmen severely,

The cattlemen and sheepmen crit

for fencers of public lands to make
their peace with the government, for

brought to trial"

Civic Improvement Commit
tee Will Ask Railroad TO
Beautily Its Grounds

The Civic Improvement Committee
Of the Board Of Trade will ask the p.
3. and w. r. r. Company and the
Pullman Company TO beautify their
properties here by the addition Of
flowers and plants. It is the desire
o the committee to see the Todd's
Cut tract laid out in grass and flow
er beds. that persons coming into tho
city from the north may be impressed
with the beauty Of the outlying dis
trict.
The Wilmington Gas and Electric
Company has a fine lawn at its plant
which gives good impression TO the
people entering the city from the
South.
It is asserted that Wilmington, es-
pecially in the northern section, has
been greatly improved in appearance
since the elevated railroad has been
completed. The work of caring for
the lawns and planting a few flowers
would greatly improve the neighbor-
hood at a very small cost to the indi-
viduals and corporations along the
section.
It is believed that the request Of
the committee that these improve
ments be made will be met with a
hearty response and that within a
short time the ground on both sides
of the railroad from one end of the
city to the other will be as beautiful
as one would wish to see.
