MONDELL WINS AGAIN
Conferences Committee Yields TO Wyoming
in Amendments TO Borsh Three.year
Homestead Law


Representative Mondell and the
other house conferrees on the
three-year homestead bill have a
chieved a great victory which will
be of lasting benefit to all the peo-
pie of the west. The victory Is all
the greater since it has been
achieved in the face of ali insistent
demand from many sources that
they should agree that all home
stead patents hereafter issued
and of course eventually all other
patents-should contain a reser
vation of all minerals exclusive of
rights to water, and Il reversionary
clause whereby lands should be
surrendered without compensation
if needed for reservoir of other
water power purposes. Mr.. Mon
dell and his associates in the house
have steadfastly contented for Il
title without any of these limita-
tions--even though Senators Jones
and Borah, who were joint authors
of the original senate bill, were
willing to accept them-and they
have won out
1t is difficult to realize how pro-
foundly the future of the west
might have been affected had the
house ~conferrees agreed to the de-
mads made upon them, and the
people of the west have reason to
feel proud Of the fact that three
men were able to stand out against
the united opposition until that
%oppisition capitulated uncondi-
tionally.
The bill as agreed upon provides
for a three-year homestead and
gives to all homesteaders the right
to a continuous leave of absence
of not to exceed five mouths in
each year. 1t requires the entry
a to notify the local land Office
of the beginning ard expirations
of such absence. This leave j. of
course in addition to the compare
lively brief periods of which a
homestead entryman may now
avail himself in the ordinary way.
In addition to these provisions
which in somewhat different form
we're contained i'll the bill as it
passed both house and senate, the
conferrees agreed upon an amend
ment under which all homestead
entrymen must, beginning with
the second year of their entry, cul-
tlvate at least one-sixteenth OF
their land, which must be increas-
ed to one-eighth the third year.
AS this also applies to enlarged
homestead entry, its effect is to re-
duce the amount of cultivation re-
CURED on such entries by one-
half. These provisions do not
apply to Kinkaid or reclamation
homesteads.
The bill as agreed upon makes
1t the duty of the secretary OF the
interior to seud II copy of the new
law to every homestead entryman
within thirty days after the pas
sage. Any time within ninety days
after the passage of the law any
homestead entryman may, by no.
tifyIng the local land Office officials
by registered letter, elect to COM
plete his ENTITY under the law as it
existed at the time he made his
entry if he so desires The object
of this provision is to give to all
who desire it the privilege of with
holding final proof for the full
seven years now allowed by the
homestead law.
There is no doubt whatever, but
what the greatly improved home
stead law was the result OF the de-
termination of Congressman Mon
dell and his two colleagues, who
stood faithfully by him while the
bill WAS in conference. Yet We
