Federal Supervision of the Range

There ought to be further objection from any quarter the purpose of the Lever bill of esta ablishing federal control over the open range The only interests that would be directly affected would be those the stockmen. who whatever their differences of opinion may have been in the past now look upon legislation not only beneficial but necessary.
 In the old days when there was more public grazing land than was needed, the stocfmen were ieaous of such restrictions the bill would impose as they were jealous of the encroachments Of one another The stock growing business was then rather nomadc The stock raiser desired the uh- restricted privilege of roaming over the best i"huS
 Crowded upon by settlers first by the "nesters' the range has narrowed until it has become necessary for the stockmen seek regulation and aid in making the open accommodate the greatest number herds and focks.
 There has been and there is yet some sentimen- tai objection to federal supervision, by those who stand on the doctrine states rights which has be come so tattered that outlines longer well defined Some believe states should have the administration all territory within their boun- daries but it has been shown by experience that the federal government. disnterested and less susceptible local influences exercises the fairest supervision in all matters which it has assumed control. It also desirable that the supervision of the open range should be uniform.
 
 American National Live Stock Association conven- said the government has proved its capability the administration of the reserves, though many stockmen few years ago bitterly opposed the forest policy. Now the wisdom of it, the benefit the stock industry say nothing of its great benefit agricultural industry is admitted by all

 It is unnecessary to speak of the advantages of the cooperation which would between the stock interests and the government for the making the range productive. Scientific nvestiga- tiOn in that direction pursued with the most satisfactory results

Naval Desertions Decreasing
(New Orleans Picayune)

Some years ago the number of assertions from the ranks of the enlisted personnel of the large that the navy department became seriously concerned the subject and took to ascertain the for state of things that could not be considered other than abnormal Although there could be doubting the fact that assertions alarmingly frequent investigation did not develop degree of certainty the for this state affairs. Efforts naugurated to improve the ratons of the men, furnish better cooking ship board. allow frequent shore liberty and general ly the surroundings of the enlisted men. At the same time greater shown in enlisting recruits and increased Inducements were held out to continuous service men.
 The annual report of the chief of the bureau of navigation recently issued furnishes very gratifying figures this subject of assertions The report says that the efforts made throughout decrease the number of assertions have had good results During the year the percentage of assertions was 3.52 against 416 for the year previous showing gratifying decrease The head of the bureau of navigation assigns the following reasons this good showing.
 First-The directions of the bureau that only men who are of high standard mentally, morally and physically be enlisted; by requiring some evidence of good character before enlistment.
 Second-Requestng the parents or guardians of the newly enlisted encourage him to remain in the service.
 Third-Authorizng the early discharge of the un- desirable and inapt, and those who have good casue for desiring discharge The bureau believes that many assertions have occurred in the past be cause have had family troubles or distress and have not been able to secure a release
 Fourth-The capture and speedy punishment ot deserters.
 It is proposed further to decrease the number of assertions by adopting measures to create finer esprit de corps on board each ship which will dis courage assertions well liberty breaking.
 The great improvement in the matter of deser- tions in the navy is best shown by comparison of the percentages from year to year. In 1906 the percentage of desertion 9.04 and for the two succeeding years it nine per cent. Since l9OS it has gradually fallen until the satisfactory figure for the past year, 352. has been reached. It is hoped that within year two even this last named percentage will be cut in half and the amount desertion in navy brought down to the per centage common in other first class naval estah-

Still Holding The Sack

Local stockholders in the Ran
chers' Trust Company met with
their attorneys, T. G. Morris and
O. E. Overson, here last Saturday
and considered ways and means
of getting out of the Jackpot"
that they are apparently in.
Some of the "big guns" behind
the company who have been So
journing in parts unknown for
the past few months have return
ed to Arizona, we are advised,
and are now attempting to effect
a compromise. 1t is stated, on
good authority, that the stock
holders-one of them says that
they should be called "sack-hold-
ers"-have been advised that if
they will make new notes to the
amount of twelve and a half per
cent of those originally given the
old notes will be cancelled and
returned to the makers. Many
are in favor of this compromise.
Just who get these twelve and
a half per cent notes, and what
he will do with them when he
gets them, and exactly what
value they represent to the max
ers and a few other things about
it, we are not able to understand
but then of course newspaper
men are not supposed to know
anything about money matters.

The Repairing and

The making and up-keep of
good roads is one of the most i'm
portant duties of the American
people and their prompt repair
and careful maintenance is very
essential. There is probably no
subject in which the progressive
man, whether he lives in a city,
is a merchant, homesteader or
farmer is more deeply interested
than that of having roads con-
Meeting him with his home or
markets over which he may be

We can't deny that we are far
behind the rest of the world in
good roads, but we are willing
and expecting to go ahead. The
people are more willing to be
taxed for good roads than: for
almost any other public improve
ment.

a direct benefit in sales and a de-
creased expense in deliveries.
