BORAH BILL Held
UP BY SECRETARY

Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Jones sent to Congress Saturday an
adverse report on the Borah bill re-
Gently passed by the senate. amend
ing the three-year home stead law. nv
providing that in lieu of cultivation
settlers may make improvements on
shein land to an aggregate value of
$l.ou per year per acre The secre-
tary says that many homesteaders
are not able to make such improve
ments.. He also objects to the pro-
posed law because it takes all discre-
ton as to cultivation OF the land
away from the Secretary of the In
terror: and nigh give spectators title
to valuable timber land without anv
cultivation.
Along with his report, Secretary
Jones transmitted to congress a mod
ification which he has made in the
regulations for the enforcement of
the there-year homestead bill in
which he directs the reduction of the
cultivation area on all homestead en-
tries where the lands entered are
rough or otherwise difficult to clear.
His new regulations stipulate that
no reduction in the cultivation area
shall be made when the lands home
steaded are heavily covered with com
mercial timber. Such entries under
the homestead law will be regarded
as speculative and cultivation of full
20 acres will be required. Lands only
sparsely timbered or covered with
scrub timber will be regarded the
same as cut-over lands and a reduc-
ton in the cultivated area will be
granted on such lands.
Senator Borah says he will fight
for the passage of his bill notwith-
standing the objection of Secretary
Jones.
"!f the language of the bill is not
plain it can be made plain" said SEN
ator Borah. "but am utterly and I'M
compromisingly opposed to turning
settlers over to the discretion of the
department as lodged in its rules and
regulations. The rules and regula-
tons can be changed at any hour and
the settler under them has no assur-
ance of permanent rights"
