rnnue and with tho open rnugo will
enmn the cnttlo rustler and the reign
of liiwlensnofs throuuh which that
country imcped twenty yoarn iiro. At
the sn-m time it will dtivc out tunny
of tho small ranchmen, frtendi of law
and order and unod citi.Mif. Hy throw

dntrriorato the breeds which tlurlnu
tho era of fences have rnme to oo
auioiiu tho be.! in the United Ktnten.
And to what end will tlio fences be
torn down That n few laud hills
may ho uncnvereil to entire poor net
tiers, ignorant of condition to five
years of starvation in an attempt to
prove up on their claims. In the place
of prosperous ranchmen will como a
irck of pnnpors'.
Thrso will be tho results if the gov
ernment adheres to its present policy,
of rcqulritiu homesteaders to live live
years on n claim in order to prove up.
Tho liimt that will raise liny nml

it is dilllcult to Unit a Foc.lion nf it on
which a family could establish n homo,
There are two logicnl nml sensible
uses to which this western country
can be devoted. One is a divlcion nf
it Into Inruo ranches, for tho raising
of stock cattle. The other is n illvl
solo of it into smaller parcels, to be
devoted to tlio dairying industry.
Tho order to remove the fences is in
itself riuhl ami if that order is fol
lowed hv a prompt chiugn In the Kin

Hut two uses mentioned, it will result
in permanent unod.
To this end, the live years residence
requirement under tho pn sent law
should bo changed to six mouths oi

With a law of this kind, ninny n

It sounds well to talk at.uut "inter

nil national disagreements and to do

run out nml they lack tho credit to

why is ho singled out and abused
