MAY ASSIGN
HALF INTEREST.
Important Points in Land
Law Brought Out By
Recent Decision.

The local land office is in re
ceipt Of a decision on review II
the case of Sarah S. Long, whicl
contains some points OF genera
interest to homesteaders on rec
lamation projects.
Mrs. Long proved up on l6t
acres. Her land was cut int
two farm units afterwards, anC
she was notified to conform the
entry to one of these units. O1
appeal, the action Of the register
and receiver in notifying her, wa
affirmed. She then appealed tC
the secretary of the interior witt
the same result.
In the appeal, it was contend
ed by Mrs. Longs attorneys
Martin & Martin of Boise, that
as she had valuable Improvement
on this entry she should be permit
ted to hold it all, but that ii
that could not be done, she should
be permitted to assign one of the
units under the proposed law that
was then in prospect. 1t was
held in the decision that Mrs.
Long had acquired no assignable
right in more than 80 acres, or
one-half Of the land.
After the secretary s decision
had been received, Mrs. Long S
attorneys applied for a review,
asking the secretary to reconsider
his decision. 1t is the decision
ON that motion that has just been
received.
The secretary states that the
enactment of the assignment Law
makes it necessary to modify the
former stand that was taken. He
now holds that she may assign
one Of the units, but that should
she fail to do 50, the entry will
be conformed.
The advantage to the entryman
of being permitted to asst ign lies
in the fact that an assignment
is more valuable than a relinquisl
ment, probably twice as valuable
or more. Furthermore as long as
new entries are prohibited on the
project, and entrymen situated
to Mrs. Long could not
sell a REIMBURSEMENT at all. In
Mrs. Longs case, if she had been
obliged by this decision to con
form, she would have been under
the necessity of relinquishing 81
acres without any compensation.
There are several other entry
men whose case are like that OF
Mrs. Longs.
In passing on Mrs. Longs case.
The secretary takes occasion to
pass upon another point which he
says would certainly arise under
the language of the assignment
aw which sets forth that an entry
may be assigned "in whole or
n part. " That, he says, cannot
ne construed as authorizing the
livision of legal subdivision.
lie further sets forth that a per
son to be qualified to take an as
'ignment must not be the holder
# or be claiming, another unit III
my reclamation project.
There has been a great deal Of
inquiry at the local land office
bout these questions, and entry
nen will be glad that the secre-
ary has already forestalled the
Of eases by settling moot
d points and passing upon them
n this early decision on Mrs
Iong's case-Statesman.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-05-13

IN COMMENTING upon the platform of
Senator Page in announcing his candi-
dacy for congress in the Milwaukee dis
trict, the Fort Atkinson Union says:
That is good, fair, square doctrine to
tie to. We must look for the same
consistency and steadfastness in poll
ticians that we ask for in other things.
A man has no right to go to Washing
ton as a member of either house under
political flag and then make politi-
cal guerilla of himself. President Taft
is fairly entitled as an honest man and
Republican President to the honest,
faithful support of every congressman
and senator who was sent there as a
republican. He has been most shame
fully treated by members in both Sen
ate and House, and the great heart of
the republican party is with him in re-
volt against such unkind, unjust and
unpatriotic treatment.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-05-13
Hamstringing Taft.

If the Taft administration energies
from this session of congress with g
single enacted legislative measure out
OF its entire progressive program to its
credit, it will not be for lack of OBJ
struction AID low trickery by those
quaint and curious republicans and Pc
culiar 'progressives, the house insur-
gents.
Here is President Taft manifestly
and honestly doing his level best to
carry out his pledge in respect of the
Roosevelt policies, and these polit-
ical microbes doing their level best to
prevent him. Nice 'progressives, :"
nice republicans, they
So far as they dare, they are openly
determined to play into the hands of
the democrats in the great game of
putting Taft in hole" Have these
selfish tricksters and party splitters no
premonition of the rod in pickle for
them in the form of vigorously WELD
ed "big stick when Roosevelt gets
back? This is what is coming to them
before this summer is over as sure as
sunrise
House insurgency has done its best
to sink the administration commerce
bill by load of impossible amendments
calculated to secure it's waterlogging in
conference. To make assurance doubly
sure, the plotters actually proposed to
deprive the speaker of the power to
name the house conferees, and transfer
that function to election by the body of
the house.
A snug little game to defeat the bill!
Insurgents would coalesce with the
democrats to name the conferees, and
there you are. Deadlocked in confer
ence. Anything to beat and discredit
Taft and make his administration a
failure treason to the party. And
the republicans of the middle west, es-
pecially Wisconsin, are supposed to ap-
prove that sort of thing. Well, we
shall see. Milwaukee Sentinel.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-05-13

For seven years Theodore Roosevelt
brandished the ''big stick" over the
heads of the malefactors of big bust
ness and great wealth but as far as any
actual trust busting" was concerned
nothing was accomplished. Now comes
President Taft with program not only
of aggressive trust prosecution but of
investigation irto various species of
monopoly, a program which within one
brief year has pushed the oil and tobac-
