our LETTER BOX.
Dispositions Of Aria Land.

BRADSHAW, Neb.. Dec. Ito the
Editor Of The Bee: | have recently
noticed in several Glrerent papers that
parties have given their ideas about the
leasing the semi-arid sand hill land Some
advocate the leasing OF the land but to
that I object as that would stimulate an
INSCRIPTIONS class OF homesteaders to take
a homestead in some mans pasture for
the purpose of extortng money from him
for their REIMBURSEMENT. If this land was
of any value for agriculture that might
be all right. but any one who - familiar
with that country knows 1t has no value
outside of the homesteads already taken
under the present laws.
The Kinkaid bill has served a good pur-
pose, but there is more to be done. BY
enabling the following laws, the solution
of the whole land problem would be solved
for all time so. far as Nebraska Is con-
cerned. The cattle industry OF the state
will be permanently put on its feet. 1t is
one of the best industries in the state
and l think Il should be encouraged. I
believe the practical solution of this semi
arid land question is-to sell II outright
in tracts not to exceed ten sections ,iO to
an individual or corporation. at purchase
price of Is cents per acre on seventy-years
cash, the balance to run twenty years at
per cent interest. with option to pay at
any time.
Also to enact a law allowing the Ninkaid
homesteaders to commute their entry and
pay 80 cents per acre and take patent; max
ing it a felonious act to buy and fence
more than ten sections directly or in
directly.
The two acts would enable the home
steaders and the stockmen to get enough
land to make pasture ranches The way
1t now stands no one party can get enough
of this land to make a living for himself
and family--the result is that three-fourths
of the section homesteaders will not he
able to prove up and the arid-land question
will not be much, IL any. nearer settled
than 1t was thirty years ago. Yours
truly, JOHN DORIAN.
