HERD LAW AssAI[ED BY
QUARTZ CREEK RESIDENTS
At A MEETING SAT. NIGHT
Sexs-Chanplon correspond.nes:


Tuesday. June 20
Alta meeting Of the Quartz Greek
rsnchmen and townspeop.e- called to
discuss the proposed herd lsw, they SUBJ
mitted the following:
Whereas, there are now being circu-
I lated in the State OF Colorado certain
petitions for the initiation Of a so-calied
Herd Law" the effect of which, il
enacted. would be TO practically prohibit
all live stock from running at large and
thus destroy the value to the state of
large ares Of grazing lands which are
wholly uni, and unsuitable for farming
purposes: and. whereas, The enactment
Of such a law would, in the judgment Of
the citizens Of Ohio City and Quartz
Greek. practically destroy one Of the
most important branches Of industry in
this state. and would accomplish SUBJ
stantially nothing calculated to material
i " enhance the financial or business in
terests Of its citizens: Further, That
during the past fifty years. since the
settlement Of the, then territory, any
such law was not considered.
The pioneers and homesteaders had to
fence their land, build the trails and
roads Of that day. and that too with the
herds and transient cattle on all sides.
/ They paved the way for large settle
ment Of the state. they wanted no law
to stop the indu try that was growing
and has since reached such proportions
as to pay an important part Of our
taxes, and one of the principal indus
I tries of the state. The new home
sSeaders are no better than the pioneers.
with not half the obstacles to meet,
/ Why kill well established industry for
the prospect Of a few homesteaders,
who will eventually want to go into the
same business, but will be handicapped
( by such an infamous law?
Therefore be it resolved by the citi-
zens of Ohio City and Quartz Creek,
| County Of Gunnison. State of Colorado.
that we are unalterably opposed to
either the initiation or enactment Of the
so-called Herd Law" and denounce the
same rs being proposed Legislation Of q
highly injurious and pernicious character
wholly unfit to the natural conditions Of
our state, and tending. if enacted. 70
substantially diminish the amount Of
money which annually comes into the
State Of Colorado in exchange for it,
products, increase the rate of taxation
by causing the removal from our state
of large portion of one of its most
valuable classes of property.
We earnestly urge every citizen wht
has the general welfare and prosper ,y
of our county and state at heart to re-
suse to sign and petition for the inita-
ton of this destructive measure, and. if
the same be initiated, to be possible to
prevent its becoming a law; and be it
further resolved that we ask the local
papers. both Of the county and state as
far as possible, to have this resolution
published.
