I understand that one Of the argu.
ments in favor of this herd law is
that the homesteader cannot afford to
fence his homestead. Certainly | do
not want to settle in state where
a homestead is not worth fencing.
1t is very much OF surprise to me
that state so wide awake and fiied
with such energetic men should allow
a man of the stripe that volney Hog.
gait must certainly be, to propose a
law that would work such hardship
on homesteaders, farmers and cattle.
men as this proposed herd law-
would be.

Who is out on parole at the present
time is working and that he has re-
quests fer other men when their
paroles are granted. Every man re-
leased on parole can be placed at
work Immediately, he said. and all of
them are holding their jobs. While
general prosperity has something to
do with the state OF affairs. he lays
the good record to prohibition and
says that employers feel that he pa
roleh men will make good workmen
