FIGHT -FoR-LAND SCRIP

| That the, protest of. -MulfOrd Win
 sor against the. issuance of patents
 for and taken up with San Fe scrip
 is of interest to other parts of the coun-
 try as well as. 1T, Arizona is shown
 by the following from the New York
 Times of July IS:
 Senators Smith and Ashurst ana
 Representative of Arizona appeared
 before Assistant Secretary Jones of the department of the interior at Wash ington recently to plead for $50 entry
 men and homesteaders who obtained
 their land, amounting to 156,757 acres, by buying Santa Fe railroad land scrip.
 Chairman Mulford Winsor of the state land commission lodged protest
 with the department of the interior
 against the issuance of patents for the properties of these homesteaders. He
 took the stand that the scrip did not constitute a sufficient consideration and further, that it was used illegally
 "The whole controversy dates back to 1904, when the government authoriz- ed the issuance of scrip to the Santa Fe. This was for every other section held by the railroad along its right of way under it's land grant. To date, patents have been granted on 2,445, 909 acres, leaving 447,S77 yet unpatented.
 ''The scrip was issued on a basis of S9 an acre and was bought eagerly owing to its exemption from several clauses of the homestead act. The main advantage was that buyer could hold the land without living on it, and further, he was not required to make the improvements demanded by the act. The abuses of the scrip privilege are said to be that the railroad sold it to brokers for $2.5O and then in turn sold it at profit of from SC cents up- It is said that many large 5 blocks D oclks of the land have been bought up by capitalists for speculative purposes. They have, obtained the best land northwest of Phoenix and near Gila Bend on the Southern Pacific and are 1,7 holding it until such a, time as a large profit may be realized. This action defeats the purpose of the issue, which was to make it possible for the small farmers and ranchmen to get land and build up the country. The department of agriculture says that a large part of central and southern Arizona is farm land and much of it is very yalu able
 One year after statehood was grant 1 ed to Arizona, the state land commis- sion began to prepare land for entry and settlement under the grants made by Congress. They found that the best of the vacant lands were already in the possession of holders of scrip and the commission spent a large amount of money getting evidence that would allow it to dispossess the entry men holding land fraudulently and re- claim the acreage.
 "The work Of the commission has met with great opposition in Arizona It is said that if successful it will dis possess many settlers who purchased the scrip in good faith and have made improvements on their lands. This is the view that the senators and representative have taken in their pe- tition to the department of the in- terior"
