Endangering A Whole State.

Such questionable schemes ~ the
so-called "herd law" being initiated
by petition, are what caused popular
mistrust of and antagonism to ''dlrect
legislation" it can be made so easily
an instrument of evil and oppression
in the hand of INSCRIPTIONS agencies.
Agitation for the proposed measure
has done grievous harm already and
it threatens to interfere with immi-
grafton to this state II 1t Ia persisted
in and the people give the agitation
any encouragement. Its adoption In
effect would reduce the livestock in
dustry by one-half without q single
compensating advantage. Its applica-
tion would reduce the grazing area by
fifty million acres of natural grass.
The small farmer would be precluded
from raising any cattle other than
what could he fed on the premises. A
new brand of litigants and litigious
lawyers would be raised, instead Of
cattle, with this city as the ferment-
ing and foInenting center.
The farmer with II few head OF cat
tie would be the one to suffer; the
cattle baron is no longer In evidence.
Against the ''herd law" are the
farmers oranges, cattle associations,
dairy-men, the commercial bodies In
Denver and other cities and every
livestock interest In Colorado.
In favor of the initiated measure is
an obscure publication, under doubt
full patronage, with no influence
whatever among thh farming popu-
lation.
Why the danger then? Because Of
the thoughtless signers of petition
carried about by professional petition
mOngers. The proposed law is repre-
sented as in the interest Of the small
farmer and opposed to the land baron.
People are apt to take the word of q
plausible canvasser. AS matter of
plain truth, if the proposed law would
benefit anyone, it would be the land
speculator, who in this way could
force farmers and stock raisers to buy
his acres at his price.
In the meantime the motto ia: "mill-
ions for defense and not a dollar for
tribute"

ALASKA CAME NEAR LOSING MONEY FOR
 LEGISLATIVE HALLS

Word comes from Washington
 that the question as to whether or
 not Congress should provide for
 housing the Alaska Territorial Leg .islature or whether that duty should
 fall upon the Territory came near
 losing half Of the additional appro-
 priation for the Juneau public .building. The information Is that someone in the Treasury Depart .ment informed the committee on territories that the housing of the Legislature was not proper charge on the Federal treasury. Chairman
 Frank Clark. of the committee on public buildings. thereupon wrote Delegate James Wickersham let
 ter in which he stated that unless he could show proper precedents that
 would constitute a fair precedent for the appropriation of money for quarters for the Legislature, the committee would recommend that the additional appropriation for the building be fixed at $l5O.OOO. but it he could show proper precedents the lapproproation would be S3OO,OOO.
 In the brief submitted to Chair man Clark it was shown that the Federal government had built capi- ! tol buildings for practically or the territories. averaging from S2O,OOO 10 S5O.000. with lands for sites land additional allotments of lands for state capitol buildings when the territories were admitted as states.
 The showing was such that the committee on public buildings de- lcided to let the additional appro- priation stand at $300,0O0.

Hellenthal was acting as attorney for the city c. R. Cheney and w. A. Holzheimer were called in to so over the matter with them and both or these attorneys agreed that the Messrs. Hellenthals, as well as all the other property owners along Front Street had a legal right under the circumstances to build out to the line. After some discussion the city council unanimously passed a resolu- ton that the city recognized the right of the Hellenthals to build out to the street line as surveyed
 An attempt was made last night by the parties presenting the petition Go get the council Co reconsider this resolution. but the matter having been previously discussed by the council and no new facts being brought out in the discussion last night. the council unanimously voted to table the petition and stand by the former resolution.
 It appeared from the discussion last night that there was an impress sion to the effect that Front Street would be narrower at this corner when the new Hellenthal Building was completed than elsewhere. The facts. however as brought out are that the surveyed line laid the street out at uniform width of DO feet throughout its entire length and that the street will be just as wide in front of the new HellenthaI building when completed as it is at any oth' CT point along the entire street.
