Mr. Speaker. I was somewhat surprised at the statement of the gentleman from Colorado when he said their people were listening to the tread of these coming millions. I had been under the impression that they had been providing for the deportation of the people they already had out there. The best argument against this bill that presents itself to my mind is the fact that we have not time now for a discussion of it. If we did there are not a dozen Members upon the floor of this House who would vote for it. When we passed the Kinkaid law it was with- the distinct understanding on the part of the Committee on Public Lands that that law was to be used for experimental purposes. and If it worked well In Nebraska then it might be applied to other localities. but these gentlemen. seemingly with an utter disregard of the rights of those who voted for that legislation with that understanding. come here now and insist that we shall apply this not only to Dakota but also to Colorado. and in a year from noW they will be here asking for its application to all the western territory.
