Lincoln's principles were bo simple, plain, accurate. It was un-selfed SERVICE. Justice bused upon the Golden Rule. At Gettysburg he reminded a civil war-torn nntlon that our country was "conceived In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" nrd that "this nation, under God, should have a new birth of freedom, and thut government of I he people, by the people, for the people should not porish from the earth." An institution, like a government or an Individual, with foundations based upon service and justice, la bound to have the confidence ot the big majority. This Institution, in its humble way, "18 OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE." OUR AIM To protect the interests of depositors: to give sound ad vice to invctom and to pay liliernl returns on wivingH. .It Is worthy the place we ask In your coiiHldrrntlon BANK OF PIOCHE, Inc. PIOCHE, NEVADA The Public Domain question boh bed up again at the Colorado Springs convention. New Mexico and Ari zona seemed to favor what is known as the Sinnott 1)111 providing for leasing of public ranges under the Department of Interior. The details of this bill were outlined in the Aug ust Issue of the Nevada Stockgrower with reasons way it would not fit Nevada conditions. (The article mentioned abote was also published in the Record several months ago.) A resolution protesting its passage wns adopted at. the National Wood Growers' Convention at Salt Lake City in January and also at our own convention in Reno. After consid erable discussion In the Resolutions Committee at Colorado Springs, all resolutions dealing with this leglsln .Ion were withdrawn and no expres sion made. However, during the discussion no less a person than John B. Ken- drick, U. S. Senator from Wyoming made the proposal that the National Association urge settlement of the public land question by giving the remaining public domain to our sol dlors and sailors In the nature of i bonus, and without residence or aim liar requirements. Such a move could mean nothing but purchase of these lands by stockmen. Understanding what private ownership of the re- malnlng public range lands in Ne vada wold mean to our stock-grow- ers.the Nevada delegation promptly donned the war paint. No resolu tion of this nature was passed and It it felt that after our condition had been explained to Senator Kendrlck he agreed that such a step would not work out to advantage In Nevada, In the first place forced ownership of the open range lands would mean the end of our livestock Industry. The great percentage of our outfits can stand no further land ownership and many are overburdened right now. Private ownership would ulti mately mean fpnclng and with the necessity of freedom of movement to fit climatic conditions on our vast winter ranges, our sheep and cattle could not be handled successfully with the range fenced up. In the opinion of those best Informed on this subject no one step would so quickly put the live stock industry of Nevada entirely out of business than that proposed. It Is not believed that Congress will give serious consideration to such a measure. Our public domain has been cut down to somewhere around 180,000,000 acres through the operation of the Stock Raising Homestead Act, and of this acreage the greater portion remains in Ne vada, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Utah. Nevada, with 55,000,000 acres oj unreserved, and unappropriated public lands has almost one third of the remaining public domain. For our conditions, nothing short of a system of regulated grazing will suit. The Nevada delegation argued at Colorado Springs that with the heavy inroads made upon the public lands in most western state during the past few years, the question has now narrowed down to a nnint where every state must work out its own problem. : . i The big point Is that the public land question will not stand still. Many are Interested In this question from many angles and rather than to wait for some other interest to work out the problem, possibly in a way which will not suit our needs at all, it, seems the part of wisdom on our part to be working o ut the problem ourselves. , Just recently, news dispatches. following the recent National Agri cultural Conference called at Wash ing ton by President Harding, car ried the word that a committee had been appointed, oharged among oth er things, with studying and report ing upon the public , land question. Unless this committee is entirely fa miliar with our conditions, such a procedure Is filled with danger to our Interests. . ' For some time, members of this Association have been tentatively discussing a plan of regulated grac ing on the public domain of Ne vada, on I he basis of a system of dual and Federal control, contem plating the leasing at a nominal sum and for a reasonable trial period of the public domain from the Federal Government to the State, grazing ad ministration to bo in charge of a commission composed of representa tive sheep and cattle, men with a representative or representatives of the State generally, and excepting from the provisions of such a plan range areas where any material ownership of private lands exist un less the heavy percentage of repre sentation of such ownership requests extension of the plan to Include their range areas. Under such a plan, the big whip would be held by the Fed eral Government, since It proper and equitable principles in range man agement were not carried out, refus al to renew such a lease could fol low. At the same time we would have administration at home, where It properly belongs, and local Influ ence coulud 'be fairly well insured against by protecting the members of the commission from removal ex cept upon preference and proof of charges before some high State tri bunal, so they could be absolutely free to follow their own convictions so long as they were equitable to all interests concerned, hut still subject to removal If such was not the case.
