Now. mon Of Iowa ] want Co say
just word on % matter that concerns
not the states of the AIississiupl val
ley itself. but he states west of thafn
the states of the great plains and the
Rocky Mountains Unfortunately
am not able ON this present trim TO
VISIT those states or 4 should sneak to
their own people on tho pofut TO

never forget friends, that In the long
run we shall all 20 up or 20 down
together
The states Of the high plaiue and
OF the mountains have "a necuIiar
claim uuu.. me, because for a number
OF years lived and worked with
lhom, au1 have that Intimate I,nov,l-
edge of their people that comes un-
der such conditions In those states
there is need OF a modification of the
iand laws that have worked so well
10 the Well-Watercd fertile regions TO
the eastward. such as those in which
you here dwell The one object i'm
dll our land laws should alwyas be
20 favor the actual settler. the actual
home maker, who comes 10 dwell ON
the land and there TO bring up his
children go inherit il after him. The
government should part with its title
TO the land only TO the actual home
makor-not % the prodt-maker. who
does not care to make "a home The
land should be sold outright only in
quantities sufficient for decent homes
not In huge areas TO be held for
speculative purposes or used as ranch- |
as, where those who do the actual |
work are merely tenants OF hired |
hands. No temporary prosperity of |
amy class of men could in the slight- 4
'st degree atone for failure on our /
part 70 shape the laws so that they 1
may work for the permanent good OF I
he home-maker. This is fundameut- /
Al, gentlemen, ana is simply carrying 4
lut the idea upon which i dwell In
speaking 10 you Of your own farms /
mere I'm Iowa. Now I'm many states
where the rainfall Is light 70 is
simple absurdity to expect any man
10 live, sull less 70 bring up a family |
'h 100 acres. Where we are able to
introduce irrigation, the homestead
-an be very much less in size-can,
ron instance, be 40 acres: and there
IS nothing that Congress has done
turing the past six years more inn
'oitaht IMAM the enactment of the !
iatonal irrigation law. But where
Irigaton is not applicable and the
ana can only be used for grazing, IL |
