HOMESTEAD LAWS

Senator Borah of Idaho, is at
all times working to make the
requirements of the law easier
for the homesteader. 1t was
Senator Borah who stood spon-
sor for the three-year homestead
law and which is now working
to the advantage Of those who
settle on the public domain, and
last week he succeeded in having
an amendment attached to the
law providing that homesteaders
were not required to maintain a
residence upon homesteads where
there was not sufficient water
for domestic purposes. Another
amendment provides that title
may be obtained without cult
waiting 20 acres of a 16O acre
homestead, by making improve
ments aggregating $3.50 per acre
and residing upon the land.
These two amendments are in
line with the thought that it
would be better to reduce the re-
quirements than to increase
them, with the view Of inducing
people to homestead land in the
United States and not emigrate
to Canada where the homestead
laws are much less drastic and
attract settlers to the exclusion
of the United States. The land
laws of Canada have worked
we'll and there should be no good
reason why it should not be ar-
plicable here.
For the many years during
which the homestead laws of the
United States have been in oper-
alton, the exactions have been in
many cases so many and so strict
as to prevent a great many peo-
pie from obtaining title to the
land they have entered and as
result many have been forced to
abandon their homes on account
of it. Being compelled to reside
continuously upon the land in
many cases has forced the bread
winner to leave the land to earn
a living for himself and family.
This was wrong in theory and in
all justice. Senator Borah sue
ceeded last year in having a por
ton of this feature removed and
it is working nicely.
There has always been a sus-
picion. so it has seemed, on the
part of many people living in
sections of the country where no
public lands are available for
homestead entry, that those who
entered land as homesteads were
actually stealing just that much
of the public domain. To those
of US who have had the exper-
fence in this kind of theft, a diff
ferent opinion prevails. Any
person who enters a homestead
and has fulfilled the requirements
of the law as to residence and
cultivation knows that he has
paid and paid dearly for every
acre to which he has acquired
title. 1t is not the man who
homesteads and secures a patent
to the public lands who makes

Fr~'r TIeS-sE'S OSliv
Banks throughout the countrr are
expecting many serious coInplica-
lions to result from the enforcement
of the income tax law and with the
banks of other cities are trying to
get official Interpretation of some
of the Clauses which particularly at
feet them. 1t is almost certain that
the larger banks will be compelled
to open an entirely new administra,
tive department for this work alone
This in itself will be an expense for
which they will receive no return.
Trouble at the Start.
The banks will encounter difficult
ties at the start. The law says that
taxes an incomes of more than $4,000
year are collectable at the source.
This, in the case of bonds, would
be the company which issues the
bonds and pays the interest on them
But no largo company deals in that
way, rather paving through specified
banks in ono Or more large reserve
cities, or, in the case of purely locar'
corporations, at one of the banks in
TIE home city.
What Is the Source?
So when Richard Roe's So coupon
is due if Mr. Roe is fortunate
enough to be getting $4,000 year,
he will not get it all. He will get
$495, the government getting the
other five cents. Suppose Mr.. Roe
lives at ST. Cloud. He deposits his
coupon in the bank there and it is
forwarded 10 I ST Paul bank for
collection. The question is, where
will the tax he collected? There
might be moro banks involved and
this would serve to complicate mat
tiers. Is tho source the bank where
the coupon is payable or that whore
the investor deposits the coupon?
In Effect November I.
The exigoncv of the difficulty is
apparent when it is remembered
that the law goes into effect No
vember /, when the semiannual
payments of millions of bonds are
due.
1t, is the holders of the bonds
generally speaking, individuals, trua-
tees and corporations who have in
vested with a view of having a GER
tain but moderate income, who are
paying the tax. Stockholders, or
those who insist on a higher rate
of return and are willing to take a
bigger risk, are not forced TO pay
anything until their income from
that source reaches $4,000.
This is on the theory that the
corporation already is paving its
corporation tax and that the profit
applicable to stock dividends is re-
duced in proportion.
