Enlarged Homestead Bill Runs
Against Snag in the
Senate.

Washington. April 1.-SenatOr SmOOt
made an unsuccessful effort in the SEN
ate today TO secure the passage of the
bill providing for the enlargement of
homestead units TO 800 acres. Opposi-
ton to the bill was made by Mr.. Gal
lInser of New Hampshire and Mr..
Hepburn of Idaho and. on the obiec-
ton OF the former after the bill had
been discussed at length by Mr. Smoot,
it went over. Mr.. Smoot announcing
that he would again call it up for con-
slderation Friday next. Mr.. Gallinger's
opposition to the bill, he stated, was
that such an important measure as
doubling the size of homesteadS should
not be allowed to pass without further
discussion and explanation that had
been given il. He could not under
stand, he said, why this bill should be
passed when a similar bill introduced
by Mr.. SmoOt had recently been passed
by the senate and was now before the
house.
Mr.. Smoot explained that his bill
was essentially a dry farming PROPOSE
ton. applying more particularly to
conditions in Utah than in the west
generally; that the present bill was
framed by a general committee of
western members with a view to hav-
ing 1t apply to all western states ex-
cepting Idaho, which had been with
drawn from its provisions on request
of Senator Hepburn of that state.
Mr.. Hepburn explained that he had
requested to have Idaho excepted be-
cause he had no assurance that the bill
first passed would be withdrawn: he
had also asked that the present bill be
amended i'm important particulars. and
as this was not done he was not salts

Senator Borah offered an amendment
proposing TO have the measure apply
TO arid lands, and Mr. Carter offered
an amendment restricting it's applica-
ton to lands certified by the secretary
of the interior as not susceptible of ir-
rigatiOn.
Senator Warren called attention to
the fact that under dry farming meth
DDS crops were raised but once in two
years, thus making a dry farming
homestead of 800 acres no greater in
productive qualities than a homestead
of $50 acres of irrigable land where
crops could be raised yearly

of dry farming at length, but his ex-
