Gives Reasons for Change.

Washington. = Investigations de-
signed 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
Mai. 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
a system of division headquarters for
the administration of the army and
the abandonment in part of the sys-
tenn of departmental administration.
He contended that the change would
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 100000 per
annum in reduced rent, $4,000 on ac-
count of reduced Communication OF
quarters, $165,O00 clerk hire. $4,000
messenger hire; a total saving per
annum of $245,000. In addition there
would be a considerable saving on
fuel, lights, etc.

as well as some of the quarterings
borne by their descendants. The coat
of-arms OF the first John Washington
was composed OF three stars and
stripes. AS to colors, they are the
mien or impaling of the Plantagenets
with the house of Lancaster.
George Washington was entitled, by
virtue Of traditionary custom-not law
in this country-to use his cognizance
upon flag in the army which he
commanded; and thus the first ma
tional flag ever made and used in
America was composed of three stars
and three stripes, which those who
were versed in heraldry would at
once recognize as the proper colors Of
the general-in-chief of the revolution
ary army-the flag of Washington.
Since then an increase of the orig
inal number has somewhat obscured
its parentage. and many are not aware
that this originated. from the legiti-
mate armorial bearings Of the father
OF his country. the flag which has cost
so many lives to maintain.

call of the governor of Colorado for a
Public Land Convention for eighteen
public land states and territories, to

and 80, In accordance with a resolu'
ton OF the state Legislature:
In compliance with a resolution
Of the Eighteenth. General AS

John F. Shafroth. governor of said
commonwealth, announce to the peo-
pie of those western states and terri
tories having one million or more
acres of public lands-reserved and
unreserved-within their borders,"-
q Public Lands Convention to be held
in the City of Denver, Colorado. Sep
tember 2S, 20 and 80 of this year, for
the purpose of discussing all Ques-
tions, and taking such action as their
wisdom may direct, relative to the
proper administration of the public
domain. the natural resources pertain
Ing thereto, and the practical conser-
walton thereof under state authority
and Of protesting against Congress en-
acting laws providing for the leasing
of the natural resources of the West.
In conjunction with the Legislative
committee constituted for the pur-
pose OF formulating the necessary
regulations for the convention, the
following features have been provid-
ed:
First: The following states and
territories are embraced within the
call. viz: Arizona, Arkansas. Califor-
mia, Colorado. Idaho. Minnesota.
Montana, Nebraska. Nevada, New
Mexico. North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ore
gon, South Dakota. Utah. Washington,
Wyoming and Alaska.
Second: All votes by roll-call to
be by states and territories. and on
the basis of five, votes at large and
one vote for each 100000 acres. or
majority fraction thereabove, of public
lands within the respective states. in
sofar as each unit is represented by
an accredited delegate.
Third: Inasmuch as the province
of the convention is for western peo-
pie to determine upon questions per-
tanning to the interests of western
states as affected by federal systems.
it is made requisite for qualification
that delegates shall have been resi-
dent taxpayers and voters within
their respective states for the preced-
ing three years.
Fourth: The selection of delegates
is provided as follows:
The governors. senators and con-
gressmen, and members of the state

tenn affect our economic and business
interests, but II seriously threatens
the principle of home rule In the con-
duct Of our local affairs.
The real issue is, plainly and dis

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, 1t 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 to pay roy
alties upon their natural products.

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 US. 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.

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 of the public land states can
be expressed.
With cordial urgency, respectfully
press this invitation upon those of
the states which are included in the
foregoing list and apportionment.
