Settlers Can Acquire Title TO xrrs-
gated Land Easily.
The people Of the east are as a rule
familiar only with the different irriga-
ton enterprises undertaken By the
United States government, says the
World To-Day. But In the west there
is not a little difference Of opinion as
to the practical merits from the settlers
point Of view of the federal plan Of
reclamation and settlement and the
State plan under the Carey act.
The latter, which Is best illustrated
In the Twin Falls project, empowers
the State to undertake or TO contract
for huge irrigation enterprises, permits
the settler to contract for a quarter

Under the NewIands act the Federal
government conducts the enterprise and
the settler must wait nve years before
he can acquire his title and must move
on when be files his claim, irrespective
OF the prospects Of obtaining water.
Taxes cannot be levied, since the prop
erty is not taxable There Is no doubt
of course, that the Carey act. allowing
of a more flexible method of bringing
great areas under cultivation and turn
ing them over to settlers. must be count
