Free Homes Memorial.

Following is the free homestead memo
rial introduced in the senate Saturday by
Senator Stacy from the committee on
public lands and passed. 1t was accom-
panied by numerously signed petition:
To the Honorable, the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
in Congress assembled,
Whereas, Legislation is now, and for
some years has been pending before con-
gress, providing for what is commonly
known as free homesteads to settlers on
the public domain; and
Whereas, It has been the policy of the
national government ever since the pas
sage of the free homestead bill in 1862,
to provide for the disposition OF the pub
lie domain to homestead settlers without
charge other than the entry and land
Office fees; and
Whereas, The failure of congress to
speedily pass such legislation will result
in the loss of homes to great number of
struggling and worthy settlers on the
coded portions of the Nez Perez aud
Occur d'Alene Indian reservations and all
other government lands not otherwise
appropriated in the state of Idaho who
have in good faith established homes
thereon, by reason of their inability to
make the required payments; and will
cause them to lose in addition to their
labor and means expended, their future
right of homestead; and
Whereas, Our government has hereto
fore provided, through the bene6cent
land laws of the United States, free
homes to its citizens, and no sufficient
reason appears for departure from its
time honored custom herein, in the case
of the settlers of Idaho, upon said
Indian reservation;
Therefore, Be it resolved, by the senate
and house of representatives of the state
of Idaho,
First-That our senators and repre-
sentatives III congress be and they are
hereby requested to vote for the passage
of free homestead legislation, when the
opportunity shall offer, and also to use
every effort for the earliest possible con-
sideration and passage of such legislation
i'll the congress of the United States.
Second-That all claimants claiming
rights under free homestead act, shall
be required to make final proof and APP
ply for patent, at the end of FIVE years
from date of filing, to the end that such
lands shall become taxable for municipal,
county, and state purposes.
Third-The secretary of state is here
by directed to forward copies of this
resolution to each of our representatives
i'll congress.
