Gives Reasons for Change.

Washington. Investigations de-
nsigned to be OF benefit to Denver and
Fort Logan, are in progress before the
Senate military committee and the
House committee to investigate ex.
penditures in the War Department
In the Senate committee hearing
Maj Gen. Arthur Murray, assistant
chief Of staff, explained at some
length the reasons which induced the
War Department to issue the orders
to go into effect July 1st. establishing
4 system of division headquarters for
the administration of the army and
the abandonment in part OF the sys-
TEN of departmental administration.
He contended that the change woulo
permit thirty-five officers now on duty
at departmental headquarters to re-
turn to duty in the line Of the army
that there would be saved s30,o0e per
annum in reduced rent, $4,000 on ac-
count of reduced commutation OF
quarters, $165,0Oo clerk hire, $4,000
messenger hire; a total saving per
annum of $245,000 In addition there
would be a considerable saving on

II should be known that there is
now seriously proposed. and may be

lar session of Congress, a new and
revolutionary National policy pertain
ing to the public lands. and their at.
tendant natural resources. that de
mands the serious and earnest con
slderation OF every citizen of the Re
public. Not only does this new sys-
TEN affect our economic and business
interests. but il seriously threatens
the nelpIe of home rule in the con-
duct OF our local affairs.
The real issue is, plainly and dis
tinctly. whether the public domain

ing lands-shall be held in perpetuity
by the National government free from
taxation by the states. to be admins.
tered through leasehold for revenue
for the federal treasury. and under
bureaus at the National capitol.
AS taxes upon property in the west
ern states for thirty years equal its
value. perpetual ownership by the Ma
tional government free from taxa
ton, would effect deprivation OF
tax revenue to the states equal TO the
value OF those lands every thirty
years. In other words, it would cost
those states the value OF the public
domain every thirty years and yet
the states never own the same.
A rental or lease based upon the
output of natural resources is a tax
upon production, and tax upon pro
duction is invariably paid by the con
sumer. Such policy would compel the
western states to bear AN undue pro
portion OF the burdens of the Ma
tional government. No other states
have ever been compelled 10 pay roy
alties upon their natural products,
why should We? Our wealth must
consist. very largely, in those very
features, the tax revenue from which
is SO essential to the maintenance OF
state government Even the raw land
itself is Withdrawn from state taxa
ton.
II our people are to pay a tax on
viz: Coal. oil, gas. phosphates, and
upon water powers, grazing. etc,
equity demands that tax should pass
into the treasures OF the respective
states, where it is so greatly needed.
These are the conditions which con-
front u.s. 1t rests entirely with the
people of the West whether they will
acquiesce in this proposed new order
OF things.
The President is our authority,
through the medium OF his message OF
December s, 1910, that these are not
questions pertaining to partisan poll
tics. Hence. those of all political
faiths can unite on common ground
for the defense of the West. This
convention is designed as an instru-
ment through which the will Of the
peOple VI lne puUllC iduu stdtcS Cdu
be expressed.
With cordial urgency, l respectfully
press this invitation upon those of
the states which are included in the
foregoing list and apportionment.
Given under my hand and the Ex-
ecutive Seal this 29th day of June.
