The exploitation OF evil reports
about the homesteaders has been and
is conspicuous feature Of the pres

public land settlers are thieves in the
main, the most odious and exasperat-

more.

one and a half million souls-men. wo-

In the interest of minnionaire land

degree that congress never dreamed
of when passing it. Humane provisions
Of the law, intended for the protection
of honest settlers, have been diverted
so as to enure to the benefit Of rail-
road corporations and numbering trusts
and by such diversion the government
has lost millions of dollars. Senator
