The Commissioner Of the General Land Office, in
reply to the call from the Auditor Of Martin
county, Minnesota, for his views to the right TO
tax Improvements on homestead actual settlements
before the fee simple title is passed BY the United
States to the actual settler, says:
THE spirit and purpose Of Congress in this 70.

said act Of 20th May, 1862 which declares that
lands acquired under the provisions Of this act
shall In any event become liable to the satisfaction
Of any debt debts contracted prior to the issuing
Of the patent thereof 1t is the generous purpose
then, Of the United States, through the national
legislature to protect settlers In their homes under
the law until their titles reach maturity.
1T Is, Of course not the province Of this Office to
determine questions Of this character because their
solution can in no way affect the action Of the De-
partment in the premises; yet such is its opinion,
given because you have called for the same, and
from the conviction, not only of its correctness,
but that the interest of all concerned-setlers the
community and the State-will be best subseryed
by its observance
