We are not objecting to it. except in so far as it retards development and imposes upon the settlers unnecessary burdens and impracticable regulations. and prevents the development of our country. We want the agricultural lands eliminated and surveyed and opened to settlement. not bottled up. I noticed in the press that there are 70.000 citizens of this country who this year will immigrate to Canada and settle upon the public lands of that country because its land laws are more liberal than ours. They will take with them on an average of a thousand dollars apiece. which means $70.000.000 of good American money. besides 70.000 of as good people as there are in the world reluctantly expatriating themselves and goIng to a foreign country largely because of the lack of wisdom of this Government in the administration of its public domain. We would like to have them come to Colorado.
