 Rep. Oats, from the committee on judi ciary, today reported the house bill to prohibit aliens from acquiring title to or owning lands within the United States. An elaborate report accomIan- | led the bill. The committee ascertained, says the report, that certain noblemen | of Europe, principally Englishmen, have | acquired and now own in the aggregate | about 21 100000 acres of land in the | United states. This alien nonresident | ownership will in the course of time | lead to a system of landlordIsm incom- | patlble with the best interests ond the | free institutions of the United States. The foundation of such a system is be- | lng laid broadly Tn the western States and Territories, and the enterprise of | the European capitalists, the report | says, has caused them to invest many ! millions in American railroads and land l bonds, covering perhaps 100,000,0C0 acres, | the greater part of which, under fore closure sales, will become the property of these foreign land holders, iu addition to their present princely possessions. This aggressive foreign capital is not confined to lands it has purchased, bu: overlapping its boundaries has caused hundreds of miles of public domain to be | fenced up for grazing of vast herds of cattle and have set at definance the l rights of the honest but humble settler. The bIll proposes to place these aliens | under the disability of the civil law, as to all future attempts 70 acquire lands ln this country. It declares that all | foreign born persons who have not been | naturalized incapable of obtaining title to lands anywhere within the United States, except lease hold for period not to exceed five years. It also con | tains provision which will compel alien | land awners to cease 10 be such or to be- come citizens of the United States with | in ten years.
