are fighting the bill. Those lands that
could be selected by the state they
are now using free. Now, to put it
up to you as a business proposition:
Don't you think that the state will
select the lands that the stockmen
are now using free and not the bot
tom lands that cannot be made prof
table for farming on account of the
lack Of water and that the lands now
used free by the stockmen are not Of
any use whatsoever for farming pur-
and ranges and no one wants home
stead there or to buy that land for
farming purposes. But the stock
men want it, for it is watered by the
SHOWS in the winter and makes good
grazing for cattle and sheep in the
summer.
Suppose, for illustration, that you
as a citizen were told that you could
have 100000 acres OF land donated
to you by the government by COM
plying with certain conditions, and
could select that land from any that
was not otherwise appropriated:
would you not look around and see
which lands would yield the quickest
revenue? What would you find: You
would find acres upon acres Of bot
tom land that could be selected, but
there is no water on it and no means
Of securing irrigation, so consequent
ly you would pass it up, but Oh the
other hand you would see millions
upon millions OF acres i'll the hills
and ranges now being used by the
stock interests free. You would nat
