DRAFT Of NEW RULES
TOGOvERN LAND ENTRY
Secretary Fisher Would En-
courage Bona Eide Settle
ment of Public Domain.

A Redistribution of the forms of en-
try of lands in the public domain: laws
to meet the facts in each particular
class of entry. and rulings by the land
! Office to encourage the bona fide settle
ment of the west, were advocated by
Secretary of the Interior Fisher tooay
when he appeared before the House
committee on public lands.
Draft Submitted.
Mr.. Fisher submitted to the commit
tee the draft of a new law regulating
the demonstrating of arid lands. 1t
would relieve the settler of residence
on the. irrigation project for the first
two years of his ten-year term and
substitute for this provision the culti-
walton of one-eighth of the land the
first year, two-eighths the second year
and SO on for five years.
At the end of five years the home
steader would receive tit4e to the iand,
on which he could borrow money to
complete his ownership.
What we want in the west is bona
fide settlement" said the Secretary.
1.-The law 1 have proposed would make
the settlers obligation after five years
purely a financial one. This would
help him to obtain money needed to
complete his purchase, because the bank
Ter or other money lender would have
only financial obligations to meet. and
would not be embarrassed by the fail
ure of the settler to perform certain
physical acts now required by the law.
Opposes Borah-Jones Bill.
In reply to questions. Secretary Fisher
said he disapproved the Borah-Jones bill
in the Senate, which permits a settler to
stay off his land six months in the year.
IF this is enacted into law he said.
''the work Of the diabolical special agents
in the Alaska coal lands will not be q
marker to their search for fraudulent en-
tries under the proposed law"
Mr.. Fisher grinned when he alluded to
his special agents as ''diabolical.''
The Secretary recommended that the
law be changed SO that local agents Of
the land Office transact the business of
the department at irrigation projects. He
also informed the committee that errone-
GUS estimates of the projects on hand
would result in a greater expense to the
government. He could not estimate off,
hand, he said. just what amount in ex-
cess would have to be paid, due to the
increased cost of labor and materials en-
tering into the construction of water
projects.

GET HEARING
ON QUESTION OF GARB
Commissioner Valentines Or
der Would Have Barred
Priests and Nuns.

Whether Roman Catholic teachers in
the Indian schools who are members of
various orders Of the denomination are
to be allowed to teach in the schools
wearing religious insignia or garb is to
be considered at hearing to be given
by the Secretary Of the Interior at a
date to be selected later The announce
ment that hearing is to be held came
simultaneously with a statement that
the President had revoked the order
of r. G. Valentine. commissioner of In
dian affairs. which was issued last week,
and which declared in effect that 'in
accordance with that essential principle
of our national life, the separation of
church and state, no representative of
any religious denomination should at
general assembly exercises or in the pub
lie schoolroom wear any religious insig-
mia or garb.
Order Is Revoked.
After Commissioner Valentine issued
the order. which though it does not men
ton Catholic priests and nuns, is under
stood to affect more than fifty of them,
Rev. DR.. William II. ketcham, superin-
tendent of the bureau of Catholic Indian
missions. got busy. and after securing
the ear Of the President. the order re-
vOking that of Commissioner Valentine
was issued at once.
In his letter to the Secretary of the In
terror the President says: II fully be-
lieve in the principle of the separation of
church and state on which our govern
ment is based. but the questions present
ed In this order are Of great Importance
and delicacy. They arise out of the fact
that the government has for a considera-
Bile period taken for the use of the In
dams certain schools heretofore belong
ing to and conducted by distinctive re-
ligious societies or churches
Placed in Civil Service.
GAS a part of the arrangements then
made the school employees, in certain
cases members of religious orders, wear
ing the distinctive garb of these orders,
were continued as teachers by the gov
eminent and by ruling Of the civil serv-
Ice commission or by executive action
they have been included IN the classified
service under the protection Of the civil
service law. The commissioners order
almost necessarily amounts to discharge
from the federal service of those who
have entered 1t. This should not be done
without careful consideration Of all
phases of the matter, nor without giving
the persons directly affected an opportun-
ity to be heard"
