ten. This is, of course a moment
Gus question and one t;,at requires
careful study and ca't u!ation in Or
der to be- fully understood. At first
consideration it seems a radical de-
parture from ideas heretofore accept
ed as correct and the subject must be
discussed in order that it may be
understood. I am confident that IL
the people come to understand this
matter fully they will adopt the nee
essarry constitutional amendment at
the first opportunity.
Senator Davis has lately performed
signal service in connection with
this proposed change in the manner
of disposing of our state lands. In
an able address delivered before the
Bankers convention at Weiser he
pointed out the immense benefits
which accrue to the state through
business like handling of its holdings,
selling them to meet legitimate de-
mands and adding not only the sum
derived from these additional sales,
but the interest thereon to our pres
ent principal until we shall have built
up a fund large enough to produce
yearly sufficient revenues for all state
and county purposes. He pointed
out that handled in this way the state
OF Idaho has resources sufficient to
make it one where eventually no tax
es need be collected.

ORGANIZED STOCK RANGES

WASHINGTON, D. C.,-The i'm
proved condition of the national for
est range after regulated grazing is
pointed to by experts of the depart
ment of agriculture as demonstra-
ton that areas which have been sew
erely damaged through overstocking
by sheep and cattle can be brought
back to their former carrying power
through a system of sufficiently in
telligent use.
When the government took charge
of the livestock ranges within the
national forests some of them were
so badly overgrazed and otherwise in
jured from reckless handling of the
stock that their grazing value ap-
peared to have been alfost entirely
destroyed. Many of these ranges,
however, have been restored and
made as valuable as ever. On sever
al of the forests results have been
more than justified the expectations
and the range is in better condition
than it ever was.
An example of this Improvement
is cited in the Nabo National forest,
Utah. In 1908, when the forest was
treated, the ranges within the forest
boundaries were found to be badly
over-grazed and trampled because
there was lack of any lontrol or SUI
pervision over the areas. One of the
areas was at that time estimated to
be capable of carrying only 5000
head of cattle. Now, through con-
sentative management and judicioos
distribution of the cattle over the
ranges, and improvements in waite"
conditions, the carrying capacity OF
the range has been increased until, in
the present grazing season, nearly
5000 head of cattle are using this
particular area, and forest officers
feel that few hundred head more
can be safely grazed there without
injury.

1t is not my purpose to repeat Sen
ator Davis argument, nor do more
than invite your attention to the fact
that his conclusions are based on ac-
tual calculations which can be veri-
fed by anyone wishing to do so. Suf-
flee it here to say that according to
his figures we could reduce our taxes
forty percent within eleven years, and
at the end of ninety-two years, or
one-half the time it would require to
dispose of our holdings under the
present limitations, we should have a
fund of $93O,913, 100000 which at
percent interest would produce the
enormous sum of $37,236,0OO.00 per
annum. The loaning of this i'm
mense principal would provide at low
rate, all the money needed in the
state, for county, municipal, irriga-
tion and road district bonds, approx
ed farm loans for all time to come.
You will no doubt observe that
these two subjects which l have dis
cussed are closely related and that
they are of vast Importance to our
people. One of them certainly, and
perhaps both, will require constitu-
tional amendments before they can
be made effective. In the ordinary
course of events these amendments
cannot be proposed by the legislature
until it's 1915 session, nor be acted up
on by the people until the next gen
eral election in the fall of 1915. This
loss of time must, I think, be regret
ted by all who have given any study
to these large subjects having to do
with our material development.
My specific purpose in inviting your
attention to these matters, having so
strong a relation to our future pros
perity, is to urge you to study them
in order that you may be able to pass
upon them intelligently when they
are presented to you for your decision
I congratulate the people of Good
ing and vicinity on the wonderful
showing that has been made here to-
day and I certainly wish for you all
the most abundant prosperity and
happiness.

The Catholic church claims the di-
vine right to educate the youth of
the world From the year 486 to
1895, one thousand years, that
church was in absolute control Of
that part Of Europe which made any
pretension to civilization, which pc
riod is known as the Dark Ages. At
about the beginning Of the 18th cen
fury, and after art of painting from
movable type began to win it's way,
the spirit of unrest began to Mani-
fest itself, famed into life by the
growing dissemination of literature,
and when Martin Luther revolted
against the Roman Catholic church,
and broke it's absolute tyrannical
power, the Dark Ages came to an
end. In view of these inc0ntrOverti-
BILE facts of history, would it be wise
to turn over to this church the edu-
cation of our youth, as it is seeking
this very day? Look at the countries
where Roman Catholic education pre-
dominates, and then turn to where
non-sectarian education exists, and,
if you are a friend of progress and
enlightenment Of the masses-gOOd,
stable governmental will not
hesitate a moment in defending our
free public school system, as against
the parochial school system of the
Roman Catholic church.-TeXas

KUERTA'S FATE RESTS WITH
TROOPS IN MEXICO CITY. UNI
TED STATES CAN'T ACT YET.

Washin gton, Oct. 11.-BeyOnd ex-
pressioLs Of great interest in the
situation which has developed in
Mexico City as a result of Huerta's
dissolution Of the Congress and i'm
prisonment of more than 100 mem
hers of the lower House, the events
Of the last tWenty-fOur hours in the
Mexican capital brought forth no &C
tion by the Washington Administra-
ton.
The situation, however, is admitted
to be critical, and no one here was
willing to venture a prediction as to
the outcome.
Officials at the State Department
indicated that they saw nothing
which called for action on the part
of this Government. 1t has been ru-
mored that Lind, who has been at
Vera Cruz since the rejection Of his
proposals by the Mexican Govern
ment, would return to Mexico City
to observe the situation at closer
range. No confirmation was obtain
able.
That Huerta has disposed of Con-
gress for the present was conceded
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-10-23

here on the basis Of messages re-
ceived from the American Embassy
at Mexico City. 1t is believed that
his position will be little short of
that of a dictator for an indefinite
period.
That he has ordered a new election
of Senators and Deputies, however,
is taken as an indication that he in
tends to hold the Presidential cleo
tions as planned, the Congressional
elections having been set for the
same date, October &c, but the post
ponement of the elections would not
surprise officials here.
Huerta's Popularity Waning.
No official information has been
received here regarding the temper
of the Federal troops in Mexico City.
From other sources, however, it is
learned that Huerta' S personal popu-
larity has been waning considerably
in the last few weeks. Some of the
measures he has taken as part Of his
stern policy of depressing opposition
have aroused much resentment. I'M
prisOnments and disappearance
have boone frequent and new enc
mics to the provisional President
have been created daily.
No comment was made by officials
today on the letter Of commentator
and support presented to President
Huerta by a group Of American resi-
dents in Mexico City. The matter has
not been brought to lne attention Of
the Administration in any official
manner-N. Y. Sun.
