about national irrigation, ito repeal
the desert land law, the Communication
clause Of the homestead law and forbid
the further issuance Of script" In
other words repeal all land laws except
the homestead law and compel those
taking up land under its provisions to
live on It. That means that there will
be absolutely no land taken mp until
the government has gone ahead and re-
claimed the land, il matters not wheth-
er il is n day or u hundred years, as
practically all Of the agricultural land
has already been located. No one will
question the desirability or even the
absolute requirement that reclaimed
lands be held for the homesteader, the
actual settler; no one doubts but he can
get along on 100 acres with abundance
of water when he can find a ready
market for all he can raise, but what is
to be done in the meantime? Might as
well close all of the land offices in the
state until the government sees fit TO
start the work of redemption.
