Stern opposition to the withdrawal
OF rsi,liiIm lands and words of praise
for Assessor Brown in his position on
taxes were voiced by Governor Am
mons today noon in his address mt the
luncheon at the Ia Court hotel.
The governor preceded Senator
Thomas and spoke briefly on the pro-
posed congressional action to with
draw cnrnotite and -blende ores.
He expressed his decided approval of
the scheme and expressed a fear that
IL was the beginning OF paternalism
that the government would eventual
ly establish on all Colorado minerals.

II have known for 10 years that
those eastern people want to collect
royalties from our minerals, but l
don't want IL done. l am afraid that
this radium proposition is the enter

that basis and that's the reason I'm
fighting it.
