PROPOSED COLORADO HERD LAW They are having a big fight iJVClrado over a proponed herd law, a it is called, that ia to be votMfjJirt at thin fall' election. The bill in apposed by the Colorado Htoflk Urowrrs Asaociation and others con rcted with the liv atock industry of the state, while the principal ipport given to it come from the Denver Post. It is claimed last the law is proposed in the interest of the Colo rado farmers, but tiiow. who oppose it claim that, while it will if en acted greatly cripple the live stock interests of the state, it will be of no benefit to the farm era. The method of campaigning for the mcaa- re appears to be the old gag of trying to create prejudice against the no-called "cattle barons' The Iteeord-Htocknian, official live Ktock newspaper of Colorado, kfc4 the foil-wing la say editorially of the bill: ilnnl IdiOT ItiU a Mlnnomrr Tbf only support lb no-railed "Herd Law" bill is receiving Id tbe country Is from a few farmers alio are supporting tbe meas ure under the mistaken idea that it is really a herd law bill. Even Mr. Horeatt, the author of the bill, denies that it Is a herd law bill. The title under which this bill will appear on the ballot Is: "An act In relation to the running of stock at large." The Motive llehliKl the Hill A ereat many people are wondering why The Denver Post Is so anzlounly puahing tbe "Herd Law"; why they were willing to spend money on It to secure signatures to the petition so it could be placed on the ballot The answer Is found In tbe fact that the proprietors of that paper are Interested In a lot of cheap Colorado 1 land which they propone to colonize. Tbey want to sell this land to people who have not sufficient funds to build fences, and they think, In their Ignorance, that they can dispone of this land if they can advertise that the purchasers do not have to fence against live stock. If the prospective purchasers of this land have not money 1 enough to fence, how are they going to purchase the land? This bas ben looked out for in a companion bill Initiated by Tbe Post which provide that tbe money in tbe school fund tbe state may be loaned to farmers. Mr. Hoggatt worked out this plan when be was register of the land office, and the people of Colorado bave not forgotten the thousands of acres of good land disposed of, undet Mr. Hotgatt's administration, at five dollars an acre, and much of this land Is now worth ten to fifteen dollars an acre. Tbe bill providing for tbe investment of the school fund in loans to farmers secured by tbe lands provide that the land board may loan only one-third of the aseeeeed valae of tbe land and Improvements. Mr. Hoggatt knows from hla own eiperience that It will be a comparatively easy matter, with tbe influence of Tbe Post, to get loans of from five to tea dollars an acre on tbeae lands. Ills plan ia to bave tbe prospective new farmer go on the Land, secure a loan from the state out of tbe school fond, and turn the money over to Tbe Post aa first payment on tbe land, and then The Post proprietors will be perfectly wllllag to accept a second mortgage for tbe balance doe. They figure that tbis first pay ment will la itself produce a profit, and should tbe sew farmer fail and the land revert to tbe state, tbey will be out nothing. The farmers of the state are already pretty well acquainted with tbe methods of The Denver Post Under ordinary condi tions, tbe bill providing for the loaning of tbe school fund on Col orado Improved farms might receive approval, but coming from the same source as tbe "Herd Law" bill, there Is much suspicion In the mind of the people, and this bill is probably doomed to meet the same fate aa the "Herd Law" bill. Tbe people of Colorado know by experience that there Is never anything unselfish in pub lic propositions emanating from this source. They have seen the proprietors of The Denver Post grow exceedingly wealthy over similar propositions alleged to be for the public good. As a rule, they discover that the "public" consists principally of the proprie tors of The Denver Post. A new elogan baa been developed in this state, and Is rapidly becoming popular with the people. It is: "If it Is a Post proposi tion, swat it." INCREASE IN BANK DEPOSITS The remarkable increase in deposits in the Omaha banks indi cates a wave of prosperity for that eity and the great agricultural and stock raising country tributary to it. The following statement taken from the Omaha Daily News will be interesting to persona who are glad to see the development of Nebraska and her metropolis: In response to an order from the comptroller of the earrency for tbe condition of banks oa September 12, Omaha banks today reported deposits ef SH.136.I&6 for that date. This is a gain of searly $30,tltO,OeO since September 2.1I1S, when the order was issned a year ago. The exact figure a year ago were I64.617.42S. The gain from September 12. 1914, tww years ago. is $ 39. 3 1.12 . The gala einee Jane 3, thla year, leas than three months ago, la 111,447,132. All bankers and financial men agree that this is tbe most money ever on deposit Id Omaha. While the largest factor is the high-priced wheat, the bankers say a general condition of pros perity Is the cause. They decline to attribute ft to wheat alone. i "No one product Is responsible," said O. W. Wattles, chair man of tbe board of directors of the United Stale National bank, "It'a general prosperity." j Omaha banks bad loaned ob September 13 967.135,838, a gain of 913.736,962 since September 2, 1910. aad a gain of 3, 33S.304 since June 30. this year.

Schellberg, truflie manager, and the co-operation of the live stock commission men of tbe South Omaha market. L'verr true Ncbraskan will be glad to know that the second National Swine Show will be held at Omaha, in 1917.
