NEW HOMESTEAD LAW

The Chieftain is in receipt of a
letter from Congressman Taylor
in which he enclosed a copy of
the Taylor Second Homestead
and Desert Law" which law was
approved by President Wilson
last Friday.
This bill will afford another op-
portunity to acquire a home to
many persons, who, through mis-
fortunes and hardships incident
to frontier life, have been depriv-
ed of any actual benefit from any
entry of the public lands, and the
law reads as follows:
That any person otherwise
duly qualified to make entry or
entries of public lands under the
homestead or desert land laws,
who has heretofore made or may
hereafter make entry under said
laws. and who, through no fault
of his own, may have lost, for
feited or abandoned same, or who
may hereafter lose, forfeit or
abandon same. shall be entitled
to the benefits of the homestead
or desert land laws as though
such former entry or entries had
never been made; Provided, That
such applicant shall show to the
satisfaction of the Secretary of
the Interior that the prior entry
or entries were made in good
faith, were lost, forfeited, of
abandoned because of matters
beyond his control, and that he
has not speculated in his right,
nor committed fraud or at
temped fraud in connection with
such prior entry or entries"

outfit in this section for job,
and was put to work, the agree
ment being that he was to re-
ceive $40 a month and found. "
The outfit started south and when
away down in Baca county the
foreman informed the kid" that
he was only getting 500 per
month. he believing that he had

stick to the job. But the kid"

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE
SUPPORTING BURD|CK

l.. B. Hanna is the only man who
can lead the Republican party to
victory in November. It is a well
known fact that the democratic are
working hard in some sections for
Burdick and in the others for Wishek,
hoping to split the Hanna vote. A
democratic. candidate for governor,
the other day made the statement
that if either Burdick or Wishek was
nominated for governor the democrats
would have a walk owe in the fall.
At. present Burdick is a little too
changeable for the republican party
70 tie to. It is easily remembered
taht two years ago he Topped around.
At first he was to run for governor.
then for congress, then for attorney
general but later went out to Williams
county and ran for states attorney.
He has been continually away from
Wi1liston for the last three months
or rather the greater portion Of the
last three months, leaving his office
in the hands Of assistants, while the
governor, has not made one campaign
speech going only to functions where
invited. In the meantime we sup
pose Williams county will have to
pay Burdick's salary for this time.

papers supporting him are Democratic

Better Support Makes Better Paper

The Wilmington Star remarks
very truthfully that publishing a
newspaper these times is costly
piece Of business, but 10 cornn1uni-
ty can afford to be without its rep
resentative paper. The better the
paper the more representative it is
of the spirit and progress Of it's COM
munity. The better it IS supported
the more vigorous it will be. and
the more vigorous it is the louder it
will speak for it's community.
The wide awake community wants
a wide-a awake newspaper and the
better it is the more worthy it is of
support. A we'll supported news
paper is power in community,
and it is not alone the property of
the publishers but it is the COM
munity's institution defender. With
hold support from it and you go
back on the con1munity's advocate,
Keep it from prospering and it will
speak a woeful tale for the COM
munity. Destroy it and the COM
munity would have 70 means Of
making it's existence known and
giving publicity to its progress. The
wide-awake paper is the right arm
of business and through in the man
who wants to get business is enabled
to reach the public by the swiftest
and cheapest medium in existence.
The business community without a
newspaper goes to sleep. The city
without a newspaper isn't on the
map, and the better it is supported
the greater will be it's power and
influence in behalf of the public in
terests and community progress
One of the creates necessities of g
community is newspaper thai

Works Well.

In Moore county the useless office
of county treasurer has been abol-
ished and the local banks handle the
public funds without cost to the
county The banks receive no COM
pensation for their services other
than such benefits as may accrue
from the deposit Of the county
funds in the regular course Of bank
ing. The bill which passed the last
Legislature giving the commission
ers of certain counties in the State
the power to abolish the cficc CT
treasurer requires the bank or banks
chosen as the financial agents of
these counties to give bonds. just as
county treasurers do, for the handl-
ing Of funds committed to their
keeping. We do not know what the
fees received by the treasurer
amounted to in Moore last year but
we do not doubt that the taxpayers
of that county will be at least a
, thousand dollars better off the COM
ing year for having made the change.
A thousand dollars will run three
public schools for a period of six
months or more, or it will pay for
the work of a county farm demon
strator OR county health officer.
There are other ways in which the
public funds of all counties in the
State could be more economically
used. For instance, all county off,
GERS ought to be paid salaries. The
fee system is antiquated and vicious.
1t has already been abolished in a
number Of counties in the State and
other counties are ready to abolish
it. It will finally be abolished in all
the counties, and many thousands of
dollars that go into the pockets Of
individuals under the present way
of conducting public business will
be turned into productive channels.
