Washington.-Public land legisla
tfon occupies an important part of the
Legislative program at this session OF
Congress. Perhaps a score of bills
are already pending. The amend
ments to the homestead bill offered
by Representative Taylor of Colorado
and now In conference are, OF course,
of more widespread interest in Colo
RADIO and other Western states than
any othor measures.
Three land bills have Just been in
troduced in the House and Senate.
Senator Guggenheim of Colorado is
asking for an enlargement of the
homestead law, providing that before
final proof is made the homesteader
may enter other lands up to 800 acres.
This has been referred to the Senate
public lands committee for report.
Representative Blackmon has put in
bill providing for punishment of per-
sons making false statements concern
ing mineral deposits on homesteads.
This measure makes 1t unlawful for
any person who may make application
for any of the public lands where the
non-mineral oath is required to know
fngly make false statements in the
affidavit concerning the mineral char
acter OF the land Such an act is to
be regarded as perjury.
A bill has ben presented by Repre-
sentative Lafferty supplementing the
Joint resolution of Congress passed in
1908 instructlng the attorney general
to institute suits in land cases. This
provides that all claims asserted by
the attorney general on behalf of the
government shall be ratified and con-
firmed and are to have the same force
and effect as declarations of forfeit
ure by Congress.
