PUBLIC LAND LEASING
Colorado Stechnsn VIII Discuss tho
Prepesitien II Denver
Cenyention.

The annual convention Of the Colorado
Stockgrowers' association has been called
to meet at the Albany hotel in Denver
April o, 10 and IL. Ons Of the principal
matters that are to come up at the con-
vention is the bill now being pushed in
congress to put the remaining public
lands upon = leasing basis. Colorado
stockmen have fought this proposition
for many years and it looks like they
will have to get busy again. as strong
efforts are being made to get the bill
out Of the house committee with IA
vorable report.
At the time of the stockmen conven-
tion the governors OF all Of the western
states will be in Denver in conference
with Secretary Lane Of the department
Of the interior. The conferences is for
the purpose Of considering the reclama.
tion problem and undoubtedly the stock
men will force the consideration OF the
administration's policy towards the pub
lie lands. 1t is claimed by the stock
men that all through the West much
support was given the Democratic ticket
at the last election because Of the psi
tion Of the Republican party OH this
leasing proposition. and now that the
Democrats are apparently giving serious
consideration to the same policy there
will be loud protest not only from Col
orado stockmen but from all over tho
West. 1t is claimed that this bill is be-
ing pushed by the big range cattIemen,
who are making this last effort to re-
tain some public lands ror grazing pur-
poses. 1t is generally agreed that a leas.
ing law would put sudden stop to tho
ssttlement Of the public lands.
Il is expected that the railroads viii
make one fare rate for this convention
and large attendance is probable from
all over the state.
