WEST Hil BK
i II. S. LID AGENTS
COMPARES CONDITIONS OF TO
DAY WITH THOSE OF
1776
| WASHINGTON, Aug- 14. (JP) —
The West is overrun with an army
of Federal land agents, field in
spectors, examiners, detectives, in
; investigators, ejectment squads, de
: puties, subdeputies, and others,
| conducting a campaign under or
ders from Washington against all
i claimants and occupants of un
patented land according to former
U. S. Senator Charles S. Thomas
of Colorado. The object is the
wholesale ousting of the citizen
from his holdings and the extinc
tion of his locations. This army is
| on the national payroll and sus
tained by the taxes levied upon and
paid by the victims of the lawless
crusade.
“We have no legal redress against
the department by actual appeal
I to the courts. Our resources have
been exhausted by scores of dila
tory and expensive controversies
before the Secretary and com
missioners, many of them inaugu
rated by that official, we can not
wage additional ones, because %e
can no longer bear the burden and
the hat of the conflict. We cannot
sue in forma pauperis, because our
overload and Secretary has no
authority to permit it, and would
not do so if he could. But we have
a precedent for collective action.
“The revolt of our forefathers
against King George in 1776 was
due to a series of ‘ repeated injuries
and usurpations,” one of which was
that “he has erected a multitude
of new officers and sent hither
^swarms of officers to harass our
people and eat out their sub
stance.” The Rocky Mountain states
have long suffered from this iden
tical injustice, enlarged and revised
by their own government, and there
is no sign that it will either modify
or abandon its conduct until com
pelled to do so.
| “We must endure this condition
or fight it. There is no other alter
native. Our appeals to Congress
and the other courts have brought
us no substantial relief and nothing
iless than a united and persistent
effort will. Our plight is a common
;one. It does not possess a single
partisan feature. It is political
only in the sense that it is public
Its proper solution is vital to the
permanent well being of our sec
tion. Hence its aspects and issues
are fundamentally economic.”
