Taylor 32o-Acre Law Hangs In
the Balance.


Washington, April l8-Representatiye
Taylor of Colorado, acting head of the
public lands committee of the house and
the leading member OF the conference
committee now considering the final draft
of the homestead bill. today outlined the
difference between the measure he sup
ports and that insisted upon by Secretary
of Interior Fisher:
The only concession that he is willing
to make is that the law may apply to
existing l6O-acre homestead entries. So
that if we accepted his demands the peo-
pie OF eastern Colorado would get no re-
lief.
The 320-acre dry.farmers want to
prove up in three years and they want the
cultivation acreage reduced from eighty
to forty acres.
Congress has emphatically and over
whelmin$iy decided in favor of the three
year homestead proposition, and the three
year homestead law is comins-if not this
session, at the next And | do not be-
lieve that it is at all necessary for us to
yield to the Pinchot ultra -conservationist
theories and accept limited titles that will
make all kinds Of complications and liti-
Cation and be a nuisance forever"
