MAXWELL IS SORE.

Washington, D. C., Nov George
II. Maxwell, executive chairman Of the
National Irrigation Association, is in
Washington. He is bitter in his denun-
citation of Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, for his attitude on the public
land question. Mr.. Maxwell was asked
what effect the recent land frauds
would have on the proposed repeal Of
the timber and stone and desert land
acts and the communication clause of the
homestead act. He replied that the ev-
ploitation of these frauds was amusing
from the standpoint Of the western man,
for it had been notorious fact that
such frauds had been going on.
The fault" he said, is not in the
administration of the laws. The laws
are fundamentally wrong. The desert
land act violated the basic principle Of
the national irrigation act, which IS that
no one shall have an acre Of the public
land who will not found a home on it
and live there"
The talk about amending the desert
land act, he. declared, was an attempt
to deceive the people.
