Cattle Men Hear Proposals At St Louis Convention
At St Louis on November 24 the sixth day of the National Cattle Men’s Convention featured Governor Stone presenting a majority resolution for a memorial to Congress. It urged leasing arid land between the 98th meridian and Sierra Nevada to ranchers, while protecting homestead rights. A minority report opposed the plan, citing risks to small owners and possible monopolies. The majority was adopted with Idaho and Utah added as exemptions, and a memorial committee named. Also, a joint Indian resolution was approved, and a veterinarian-led Bureau proposal was advanced.
