PUBLIC LAND MONOPOLY.

Minneapolis Tribune: Some inno-
cent newspapers treat the great rush
to make homestead entries as evil
dence that public land fit for homes
and farms is not yet exhausted, and
that settlers are still going mo the
west by the million. 1t is true that
homestead entries since 1900 have
been nearly double any previous three
years; but the interior department
believes that a majority Of these, out
side of Oklahoma, have been made
fraudulently in the interest of land,
cattle and lumber companies-espec-
tally in the interest of spectators
who want to ~monopoliZe arid land
capable of irrigation in advance Of
the government works that will give
it value.
That is, the department thinks that
the public land is being taken away
from the people, except in Oklahoma,
where it can be had only under the
original homestead act. This is why,
the department and the president rec
ommend the repeal of all other laws
for entry of public land; homestead
communication as well as the desert
land and stone and timber acts. That
is the purpose of the Quarles bill, now
| under consideration by the senate
| committee on public lands. 1t is re-
| sisted by all the senatorial agents
| of land, timber and cattle companies;
but it is very strongly supported by
the national irrigation association in
the hope of preserving for the people
the water rights and arid lands which
it is now the policy of the national
government to redeem.
Popular support of this bill is slow
through ignorance of its vast import
ance, though the labor organizations
are beginning to petition for it; but
the irrigation people are making a
| campaign of education. AS soon as the
purpose of the bill shall be under
| stood, there will be a popular demand
for it too powerful to be resisted. II
it does not pass in this congress- II
will mass in the next.

complain because Of the additional
expense creation of another office will
entail when the Office is one ~calculat-
ed to do as much good as the one un-

is appointed to the place and if he
will select men as his deputies in all
the towns and communities of the
state who will do their full duty and
assist him in carrying out the law
enforcement of which is his special
charge then much in the right direc-
ton will have been accomplished and
the people throughout the entire
state will manifest their approval of
the action of the legislature that pass
