fourteen months proof. on lands in the
western part of North Dakota, re-
CARELESS Of whether the land has been
declared coal land or otherwise. OF
course, II there is coal, the coal would
be reserved to the government and
the settlers would obtain surface pat
ent. I also have a bill allowing COM
mutation proofs within the railroad
limits to be made at $1.25 per acre,
instead of $3.50 as at present This
has always been an injustice TO the
settlers within the railroad limits.
I'm view of the fact that so many
people (where they make commuta-
tons, and many of them do so at the
end Of fourteen months) have to
mortgage their lands. it would seem
to me as though it would be much bet
ter for the country and for the west
ern states in particular. IL the time of
making homestead proof was reduced
from FIVE years to three years. This
would practically do away with com
mutation proofs and would save thou
sands of settlers from mortgaging
their lands as they do at the present
time. l will therefore prepare a bill
and urge it very strongly, to cut the
time Of making homestead proofs from
five to three years"
