The original homestead law, With the
requirements OF residence and cultivation
for FIVE years. much more strictly en-
forced than ever before
The enlarged homestead act. applying
10 non-irrigable lands only, requiring five
years residence and continuous cultiva-
ton OF one-fourth OF the area.
The desert land act. which requires on
OF a water right and thorough reclama-
ton OF the land by irrigation. and the
payment OF 81 - per acre.
The donation or Carey act, under
which the state selects the land and pro-
vides for its reclamation, and the title
vests In the settler who resides upon the
land and cultivates il and pays the cost
OF the reclamation.
The national reclamation homestead
law. requiring FIVE years residence and
cultivation by the settler on the land
irrigated by the government. and pay

MINERAL LANDS

by mineral lands l mean those lands
bearing metals, or what are called metal
liferous minerals The rules of ownership
and disposition of these lands were first
fixed by custom In the west. and then
were embodied in the law. and they have
worked, on the whole. so fairly and well
that ! do not think IL is wise now to at
tempt TO change or better them The apex
theory OF tracing title to lode has led
10 much litigation and dispute and ought
not to have become the law. but II Is so
fixed and understood now that the benefit
to be gained by a change Is altogether
outweighed by the inconvenience that
would attend the Introduction OF a new
system. So, too. the proposal for the gov
eminent 10 lease such mineral lands and
deposits and to impose royalties might
have been in the beginning a good thing.
but now that most OF the mineral land
has been otherwise disposed of IL would
be hardly worth while 10 assume the en-
barrassment OF a radical change.

States Might Control.

ION the other hand. II is contended that
II would relieve a complicated situation IL
the control of the water-power site and
the control OF the water were vested In
the same sovereignty and ownership, viz
the states, and then were disposed OF for
development to private lessees under the
restrictions needed TO preserve the inter-
ssts Of the public from the extortions and
abuses OF monopoly. Therefore, bills have
been introduced in Congress providing
that whenever the state authorities deem
water power useful they may apply to
the government of the Unite States for a
grant to the state Of the adjacent land for
a water-power site. and that this grant
from the Federal government TO the state
shall contain a condition that the state
shall never part with the title to the wa
ter-power site or the water power but
shall lease il only for a term OF years not
exceeding fifty, with provisions in the
lease by which the rental and the rates
for which the power is furnished TO the
public shall be readjusted at periods less
than the term of the lease, say. every ten
years. The argument is urged against
this disposition Of power sites that legis-
lators and state authorities are more SUBJ
ject to corporate influence and control
than would be the central government; In
reply IL Is claimed that a readjustment of
the terms OF leasehold every ten years

FOREST LANDS

Nothing can be more important in the
matter OF conservation than the treatment
Of our forest lands. II was probably the
ruthless destruction OF forests in the
older states that first called attention 10
a halt in the waste OF our resources. This
was recognized by. Congress by an act
authorizing the executive TO reserve from
entry and set aside public timber lands
as national forests. Speaking generally.
there has been reserved of the existing
forests about 20 per cent of all the timber
lands OF the government. Within these
forests Including 5000 900 acres in two

Other Land Withdrawals.

When President Roosevelt became fully
advised Of the necessity for the change in
our disposition of public lands, especially
those containing coal. oil. gas. phos-
pilates or water-power sites, he began
the exercise Of the power OF withdrawal
by executive order OF lands subject by
law to homestead and the other methods
OF entering for agricultural lands. The
precedent he set In this matter was fol-
lowed by the present administration.
Doubt had been expressed in some quar-
tiers as to the power in the executive to
make such Withdrawals. The confusion
and injustice likely to arise II the courts
were TO deny the power led me to APP
peal to Congress to give the President the
express power. Congress has complied.
The law as passed does not expressly
validate or confirm previous Withdrawals,
and therefore as soon as the new law was
passed / myself confirmed all the with
drawals which had heretofore been made
by both administrations by making them
over again. This power OF withdrawal is
a most useful one. and do not think It is
likely to be abused.
