The difference of opinion as 10 whether the
act which admitted the four states of WASH
ington. Montana and the Dakoias repealed
the homestead and presumption laws has led
to the introduction of bill which will, If il
becomes law, put an end TO all questions
which might arise under different legal rul-
ings. The point was raised sometime ago
that this act repealed the homestead law by
the mistaken use of n word, using "act'
when section" was intended. Senator
Davis introduced la bill which declares
in so many words that all pre-emptions
made after the passage of the enabling act
shall be declared valid, and that patents
shall be issued without regard TO the terms
of the net in question. 20 far as the four
new states are concerned.
