In analyzing the saving to the indi.
vidual taxpayers of Texas by Gov
ernor Colquitt in his ruthless and
reckless slashing of the appropriation
bill, the Galveston News says:
1--WE find that for the man who
pays on an assessment of $4,000, the
governors Intervention has saved
something like ten bits a year, rather
less than that, since ten bits would
be $1.25. Let those to whose ears tho
clink of that small change is music
applaud the musician. Let those who
have hearts attuned to the more sub.
tie sound of human misfortune and
aspiration manifest their emotions
as they will. We at least shall be sat
isfied with the resultant of these con.
flicting demonstrations"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Saturday Nov. Is the Cheyenne
County High School boys played
a game of basket ball with the
Sharon Springs High School, re-
sulting in a victory for the Shar-
on Springs boys.
Failure is the first step toward
success" +" This certainly proved
true in connection with the bask-
ct ball players of our teams. In
the game at Sharon Springs the
boys were beaten by a large per-
cent. This defeat did not dis
hearten the boys for they prac-
ticed harder than ever, determin-
ed to win the next game if
possible. Owing to the short
term of Office" of our boys they
were not so proficient at the
science as their honorable oppon-
ent. Another point in Sharons
favor was the immense statue of
their players. Despite this our
boys are improving so that in a
very short time we will be able
to show them a very close game.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Keating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

Interior Department is concern
ed, Secretary Lane has passed
the word to his subordinates that
failure to cross a It" or dot az,
Il" is not capital offense and
that a man who is attempting to
make a home on the national do
main is en- aged in. a laudable
undertaking and should be en-
couraged by the representatives
of the federal government.
The secretary will do any
thing within reason for the lit
tie fellows but he is tougher
than Pinchot when he comes to
dealing with the big monopolists'
was the way one of Lanes assis-
tents explained his chiefs atti-
tude to me.
Almost every day we are fur
nished with pleasing evidence of
the change in policy of the de-
partment, and always it is some
thing which smoothes the path
for the home maker and never
anything which tends to foster
monopoly.
Take for example the expert
ment which the Secretary is
making in Colorado concerning
final proof by homesteaders.
Hereafter, in all protested claims
final proof will he made upon the
ground-that is. on the claim it.
self. The entryman will have an
opportunity to confront the Of
fetal who make the protest and
every point in controversy will be
threshed out where all the evil
dence is at hand. There will be
no more hearings and rehearings
with the attendant delays and
expense. A square deal will be
assured and the nerve-wrecking
"red-tape" will be cut out.
What this change means to the
homesteader only a Westerner
can appreciate. For the time
being the experiment will be con-
fined to Colorado but | am conf
dent it will be such a pronounced
success it will be quickly extern
ded to all public land states.
NOTHING FOR ATTORNEYS.
Another blow at Red Tape"
is contained in the announce
ment by the Geological Survey
that settlers who desire to have
land designated as subject to the
enlarged homestead act need not
employ attorneys and other ex-
perts to prepare their petitions.
We are told that it is Secretary
Lanes desire that "the settler
shall take the simplest and most
direct means to make his wants
known. No definite form of
petition is required. The settler
is expected to write a letter to
the Geological Survey, Washing
ton, D. c., giving a description
of the land he wants to take up,
the description of his original
homestead entry (if he has one)
and such evidence as he posses
es to- prove that the land he seeks
is non irrigable. On receipt of
this letter an official investigation
will be made and the applicant
promptly notified of the decision.
All very simple, isn't it? And
how different from the old sys-

work. He likes to see things
