VARIOUS PHASES OF LAND BILL
BEFORE INTERIOR DEPT.

Washington, ID. c. Jan. 31-Repre-
sentative French has had up with the
Interior Department the various
phases of the three year homestead
law approved in 1912 that have prov
en- to be unsatisfactory, as the law
has been administered. with the view
of having some course adopted by tn
Department that would relieve the
situation in such parts Of the West
as have been placed under serious
handicap by the provisions Of the
law touching cultivation. The law
as passed authorizes the Secretary OF
the Interior upon satisfactory show
ing to provide rules and regulations
under which the area required tor
cultivation in the law may be reduc-
ed. The Secretary OF the Interior
has not seen fit to prepare any rules
or regulations under this provision
of the law and apparently the De-
partment desires that each particu.
lar case shall be determined upon
the merits attaching thereto.
Mr. French has urged that the one

important thing desired by home
steaders and to which they are abund
antly entitled is definite information
on the subject of what the Depart
ment will require is Objectionable
from every point of view. II the
Department will define that which
will be required or expected OF the
settlers, the latter will have some
thing to work to and can see in ad-
vance whether or not they will be
able to meet the conditions and re-
quirements imposed.
With the view of meeting the sit
uation, Representative French has
prepared and introduced a bill direct
ing that improvements other than
cultivation to the extent of $3.50 per
acre per year shall be accepted by
the Department. Mr.. French's bill
provides, however, that under the en-
larged homestead act the improve
ments need be but SIS per acre SO
that the same amount or improv-
ments shall be required OF homestead
entrymen under the regular home
stead law or the enlarged homestead
law. Under Mr.. French's bill i'm
provements that may be made and
that will be accepted in lieu Of cul.
tivation required under the act of
1912, include slashing, clearing, fenc-
ing, erection Of buildings, setting out
of trees for orchard, and other i'm
provements tending to make the home
stead entry habitable and capable Of
production. This is the first bill
that has been intoduced looking to
the modification Of section Of the
law of 1912 that in the absence of
reasonable construction by the In
terror Department promises to be al
together too severe upon the home
steader and Mr.. French Is anxious
that his bill be passed at the ear
Hest possible date
1t is quite certain that Mr.
Frenchs bill will be opposed by the
Interior Department and Of this Mr..
French Is fully advised, consequent
ly the Bill IL enacted will need to
pass over the opposition that will be
directed against 1t by the Depart
ment Of Government having charge
of administering the land laws.
