no MORE SPECULATIVE
CONTESTS after FEB. 1sT

On the 1st of February the government
will require an entirely new procedure
for initiating contests. which will have
the effect of cutting out all speculative
work in this line.
The first step for a party wanting to
contest a piece of land will be to show
that he is a qualified entryman and that
he wants the land for his own use and
not for speculative purposes. A man or
woman who had already used a home
stead right cannot start q contest.
In the past a great many people have
made q wholesale practice of filing
conests just to fextort money from
innocent parties, starting cases where
there was absolutely no grounds for a
contest. Now it will mean bust ness
when a person starts a contest and it
will be conducted much in the same
manner as district court cases. except
that the parties will be lawing it with
Uncle Sam as presiding judge.
