Free List Bill Passes.


After nine hours of continuous
pounding, the Republican minority Of
the house failed last evening 10 make
a single change in the first Democratic
bill, that placing on the free list agri-
cultural implements, meats and other
articles The bill passed the house last
night by a vote of 236 10 109, the Dem

twenty-four Republicans with them.
This came after the Democrats had
voted down or had ruled out OF order
more than one hundred amendments.

free lead and pig iron. But those that
were not ruled out of order were cheer
fully voted down by an almost solid
Democratic vote. An attempt by Mr..
Mann to recommit the bill was tabled
by the house.
More Revision in Sight.
"This does not complete our tariff
legislation" said Mr.. Underwood, the
Democratic leader. I'VE introduced this
bill to give the farmers cheaper agri-
cultural implements and the city dwell
ers cheaper meat and bread We
could go beyond that without endan-
gering the revenues. We intend 20
take up, in proper order. all tariff rates
and TO adjust all OF them"

Denver.-Following is the official
call Of the governor of Colorado for
Public Land Convention for eighteen
public land states and territories, to
be held in Denver September 2S, 20
and 80. In accordance with a resolu-
ton of the state Legislature:
In compliance with resolution
Of the Eighteenth General AS
sembly of the State of Colorado, I,
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 20, 29 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,

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

dent taxpayers and voters within
their respective states for the preced-
ing three years.

1t should be known that there Is
now seriously proposed. and may be
crystallized into law at the next regu-
lar session of Congress, 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-
sideration of every citizen of the Re-
public. Not only does this new sys-
TEN affect our economic and business
interests. but it seriously threatens
the principle of home rule in the con-
duct of our local affairs.
The real issue is. plainly and dis
tinctly. whether the public domain
other than the little remaining farm
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 q 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 q 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.
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
tion.
II our people are to pay a tax ON
the product of our natural resources.
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 1t is SO greatly needed.
These are the conditions which CON.
front US. It 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 6, 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 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.
Given under my hand and the Ex.
ecutive Seal this 29th day of June,
