ANENT PUBLIC DOMAIN
BILLS UP in CONGRESS

| Recently we expressed our
disapproval of some features of
the Kent Bill, but there are
other. bills and propositions,
with regard to the disposition of
the public domain now receiving
attention in congress which, we
thinG, should have our consider
alton.
The Ferguson & Jones Bills
are practically identical,
for creating of grazing home
steads of $40 acres. Those bills
were no doubt gotten up in good
faith, and may be applicable to
some parts of the country, but
we think them unpracticable for
Arizona, as very few GAO acre
tracts of strictly grazing lands
could be located that would sup
port family.
There is also a proposition to
classify the lands, and allow a
homesteader enough to support
a family, Of any amount from
one to ten square miles. This
bill has the following disadvan-
tages: /. The difficulty at
present of classifying the land
and finding out what it will take
to support a family.
2. Many people have settled
upon small and Improbable
homesteads, depending upon the
puclic domain to help make a
living. They must be considered
3. The difficulty for the COM
mon settler to buy enough wire
to fence eight or ten square
miles of land, the amount It
would no doubt very often take
to support family.
4. Poems might be furnished
with money and hired to home
stead such tracts, ouly to turn
them over to large stock compa-
nies for a pittance, as soon as a
title is secured.
Then we have a proposition to
sell sufficient land to make a liv-
ing for a family to any person to
so entitled, on long time pay
ment, we think twenty years, at
3 per cent interest.
This bill would have the disad-
vantages to the homestead prop
osition, of classification and fen
cling, and also the feature of
starting people out with a large
debt on their hand. But it has
the advantage of giving all a
chance, and also of guarding
against fraud, for if one is com
pelled to use the land for him
self, and not allowed to sell it
until it was paid for, he would
be pretty well settled before the
end of twenty years, or even ten
years, and no one would be apt
to be waiting that length of time
to buy him out.
Either of these propositions
we think would be preferable to
the Kent Bill, and far ahead of
/ the present conditions, but we
believe that lease law for a
period of ten years, and provid-
ing that the government furnish
wire for fence, and allow each
person so entitled to lease suffi-
cient to support a family, would
be preferable at the present
time.
This will give time for the
government to get money back
/ for wire, and also to learn how
much the land would support,
and settlement would be better
distributed, and the actual settler
would be better prepared to buy
or homestead, if by that time
that would seem the best thing
to do.
1t seems that it would be well
for people to consider these pro-
positions and give our senators
and representatives the benefit
of our opinions, and feel assured
they will receive respectful con-
sideration.
This need not necessarially be
be done individually, but could
he done by associations, and COM
