WILL CHANGE LAWS
Congressman Monddl Propose. T.
Change Land Laws For
Settlers Benifit.

A law, which if passed, would
give a second homestead right to
all entryrnen who had proved up
on land ten or more years prev
ious to it's passage, ard who dis
posed of the land in their former
entry, is being introduced by
Congressman Mondell Of Wyonn-
ing, and is being commented on
as having the favorable consider
alton Of Of the house and senate.
The bill also provides for the ad-
vertisement ard sale Of land
classified as grazing" The
classification Of land as grazing
would be an entirely new ruling,
none other Of like nature ever
having heen passed as a public
land law, and would unquestion
ably be the appropriate means of
disposing of thousands Of acres
of land in the public domain
which are now not Of sufficient
value to he taken up as home
steads and are not SO situated
that they could be proven up on
as desert lands. Congressman
Mondell comments thus in regard
to the Dill tie proposes to present:
From the beginning our
homestead policy has been based
on two related ant, somewhat
different lines Of thought. One
is that of the nation has a large
area of virgin soil which should
be distributed among those will
ing to make homes upon it and
comply with the laws governing
settlement; the other is that the
nation needs the assistance of

those most competent and willing
to undergo the hardsl1ips and
privations necessarily incident to
the subJugation Of new lands and
pioneer conditions. I have tried
to draw this bin in harmony with
both ideas.
The problems now confronting
homestead settlers in the west,
both under the reclamation pro-
jects and on iands where lrriga~
tion is 1or possible, are in many
respect more trying and difficult
than ever and the country will do

thess problems the former home
stea0er whose condition or incll-
nation prompts them to renew
the struggle for anothar horne on
the public lands. The other
Mondell bill authorizes the secre-
tary Of the interior to sell to the
highest bidder, on terms not ex-
ceeding FIVE annual payments,
] tracts not larger than one section
to any ore person Of non-reserved
! land examined and classified as
non.mineral non-irrigable, and
not containing me1chantabie
timber and chiefly valuable
for grazing. The intention Of
the bill is to make it possible
for settlers to purchase tracts of
strictly grazing land in the Va
: cinity of their homesteads, in his
opinion one Of the most urgent
