"All, the world loves a lover;
Laugh and the world laughs with
you:"
''Snore. and you sleep by YOURSELF"
And a great many more trite
sayings that are banded about
all over the world, ali show that
to some extent at least, our ac-
tions. words, feelings, senti-
ments, passions, etc.. have a ten
dency to effect the actions, words
feelings. sentiments and passions
of all those with whom we com e
in contact.
Now the idea in this, the knock5
ers, kickers grumblers, about
Eastern Colorado conditions not
being suitable or a desirable place
to live, to dairy, to raise stock,
to farm, or in other words to es-
tablish a home on a farm, and
SUCCEED, are going to be CIV
en- an invitation to state in pub
lie what they say to their friends
neighbors, acquaintance, etc.
Resolved, That Cheyenne
County, or Eastern Colo is bet
ter Stock Raising,-or Dairying
country than any country in the
United States east of here" is a
debateable question, or phases
of what the grumhlers, growlers,
kickers, knockers and such are
harping about all the time, in
stead of buckling into the game
and changing their spectales.
Now here is the proposition,
The Farmers Cooperative Assn.
will pick three men to debate

among themselves and with the
railroads for the purpose Of main
tanning exorbitant freight rates.
Until two years ago no ship
could be employed in the coast
wise. trade unless it had been
constructed in an American ship
yard.
This enabled the ship-build-
ing trust to feather it's nest in an
amazing fashion. A San Fran
cisco capitalist who wanted to
put three new vessels would
cost him five hundred thousand
dollars each. He refused to be
held up and had the same ship
built in England for two hun
dred and sixty-five thousand dol
lars each. An Act of Congress
was required before he could use
them to carry cargoes between
American ports.
when the question of fixing the
Panama tolls was befor Congress
the coastwise shipping combine
was powerful enough to slip a
provision into the law granting
its vessels an exemption which
would mean a yearly saving of
about one million five hundred
thousand dollars. The oppo-
nents Of the proposition pointed
out that it was ship subsidy in
disguise and that it was a plain
violation of our treaty obligations
which provided that the ship of
all nations should be permitted
to use the canal on terms of
exact equality, but they were
outvoted.
President Wilson has asked
Congress to repeal the exemption
clause, because he holds that the
plighted word of the American
people must be made good with
the nation of the world, and be-
cause it would be economic folly
to continue to pamper the greedy
coastwise shipping interests.
In that position he will be sup
ported by Congress and the
people without regard
to political affiliations.

WashinstonLctter,
BY Edward keating,
Congressman -at-Large
From Colorado.
From Colorado

cred by the House Committee on
Public Lands. Congressman Wm
Kent, of Carolina. and Congress
man Harvey Ferguson, Of Mexi-
CO, are the leaders Of the oppo-
sing forces. The committee
seems to pretty evenly divided,
with the odds favoring Ferguson
and an influential element seek.
ing a compromise which will sat
isfy both sides.
Kent favurs leasing system
While Ferguson champions the
enlarged homestead idea.
Get the land out of hands of
of the Government and into the
possession of actual settlers just
as soon as possible" says Fer
guson, and he presents as the
most important step in that di-
reclion a bill providing for GAO
acre grazing homestead.
Kent denies that he is seeking
to discourage the settler but
pleads for the leasing Of the pub
lie domain pending the arrival of
the home builder.
Back of Kent are Pinchot and
his followers and many public
men who are not as extreme as
the ex-Forester in their views on
conservation. Ferguson COM
mands the support of those who
have been insisting that the
West should be given an oppor-
tunity to become a land of inde-
pendent home owners, and not
the abiding place of more or less
migratory lease-holders. .
COMPROMISE SUGGESTED.
Those who seek a compromise
have presented many unusual
propositions and some OF them
are worthy of very serious con-
sideration. One Of these plans
calls for the classification of the
public domain, outside Of the
forest reserves. In class A
would be placed the best of Un-
Gle Sans holdings to be distrib-
uted to settlers under the Fergu-
son $40 acre Homestead Act.
Glass G would include the rough
land which could never be avail
able for agriculture and this
would be leased By the Federal
government. the proceeds to be
used in constructing reclamation
projects in the west. Class B
would include the lands of doubt
full value not good enough for
class A nor bad enough for class
C-and these lands would be
opened to entry under the $40
Acre Homestead law for two,
three or five years and after that
time would revert to class G and
become subject to the leasing
laws. The work of classification
would be done by the officials of
the Interior Department.
AS substitute for the above,
the following has been suggested
Classify the land as provided in
the first proposition and then
change the land laws so settler
could take up either one section
of class A land or two sections OF
class B land or four sections OF
class C land.
Personally, believe the latter
proposition comes nearer meet
ing Western conditions than any
other plan so far submitted. It
should put every desirable acre
of grazing and agricultural land
in the public domain in the hands
Cheyenne record., 1914-03-26

taxable wealth and industrial
prosperity of the Trans-Missouri
country. Unfortunately, it is
difficult TO make Eastern and
Southern members Of Congress
appreciate its economic value.
On the other hand; l believe
they could be induced to accept
the first Of the compromise pro-
posals and that is vast improve
ment over the Kent bill.
THE WEST DIVIDED.
The West is a house divided
against itself on the conserva-
ton problem, and so long as we
cannot unite on a definite land
policy we must be prepared to-
endure existing ills or agree to
compromises which involve some
surrender of principle by both
sides to the discussion. l have
always held that l was willing to
do whatever was necessary to
protect the public domain from
greed of the monopolist. but that
| wanted to see State and nation
extend a helping hand to the man
who was seeking in good faith to
establish q genuine homestead
The very great majority Of the
men who make up the present
administration take the same po-
sition, but when we attempt to
agree upon plan to attain our
desires we develop marked diff
ferences of opinion.
am not discouraged by this,
however, and am convinced
that the people of the West will
make a serious mistake if they
do not press for some solution of
this land problem during the
present administration. 1t is not
probable that we will ever re-
ceive a more sympathetic hear
ing, and while we may not get
all we want we will get so much
more than any other administra-
ton was ever willing to grant us
that we will be justified in re-
garding the. adjustment as a
great victory. !
PANAMA TOLLS ISSUE.
And now we are told that ''the
President has surrendered to
England" on the Panama Canal
Tolls question. The men and
the newspapers who have raised
this cry were denouncing Wilson
a short time ago because he
would not play England's game
in Mexico and either intervene
or recognize Huerta. In both
instances they voice the views of
certain powerful lfishinterests.
The Panama Canal when COM
pleted will have cost the Ameri-
can people more than FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION DOL
LARS. The yearly cost of main
tenance and operation exclusive
of interest on Investment will
be twenty-five million dollars.
The estimated revenue from tolls
is Twelve million dollars, which
means that the American people
must make ur an annual deficit
of Thirteen million dollars.
Under the law as it stands all
vessels passing through the Ca
nal-American and foreign,
alike-must pay tolls except
American vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade These are the
petted darlings Of navigation.

ed with laws granting special
