The Farmer and
’It is the duty of every courageous officer to do his
duty in this respect without being influenced because some
citizens don’t want their things because of prejudice if
prejudice exists 1 don’t know that I am familiar with lo-
cal conditions I merely make these statements gentle-
men because I have been ip tbe West for a lng time and
I know that the farmer and cow man don’t get along the
best in the world as a rule I don’t mean to say that
either of them are absolutely wrong but I know that they
are both at fault frequently ' I know thkt prejudice against
each other is common with thni but I think the officials
of the county ought to look at the' matter from the stand-
point of good citizenship — for the best interests of the
country — of the farmer and the stockmail They ought to
l t i
get along together and live peaceably together because
the best interest of your county demands that they do I
I say these things because I have been living in the West
for tWenty-seven years You people ought to settle your
local conditions down there fer the best interests of the
community regardless of what this one and that one
want If this land ife notgood farming land it ought to
be classed as grazing land ought' to be used as such and
the public ought to consider this if it serves the best in-
terest of the cbmmunity gate4- ought to be erected and
fences put across the public highways The public ought
to be willing to concerto them the right to use the land
in that way - I am nqt passing upon this matter that is
for you to determine your township boards the' county
commissioners and the citizenship of your county — Judge
T P Clay- in rendering’ a decision in the Donald P
Duncan case
