Protection for
Entrynen on
Dry Farms.

The. Secretary of the Interior
has made favorable report to
the Committee on Public Lands
in the House on the bill lntrod-
uced by Representative Addison
I. Smith, giving preference right
to qualified entrymen who make
application for the designation
of land tor entry under the en-
larged homestead act. Under
the existing law prospective
entrvmau who searches out "A
desirable piece OF land and makes
application to have it desig mated
for entry under the enlarged
homestead act may. after the
land is designated, be confronted
with the fact that some one else
reached the land office and enter
ed the land he may have selected.
The prospective entryman who
applies tor the designation of the
land has no assurance thar, when
the land is designated, he will Sc
cure it. The proposed law ad-
vocated by Congressman Smith
will protect hundreds of prospec-
tive entrymen who go to the
trouble oflocating desirable lands
SO that when the land is desig-
mated their entry will be con
frmed.
Under the proposed law re-
cord will be made on the plats ol
the local Land Office, of the ap.
plication for designation, and
when the land is designated the
entrymdn will be notified that
his application has been allow wed
This is one of the many changes
proposed in the land laws intend
ed to protect those who are en-
deavoring to secure a home or
the public domain.

The Interstate
Trade
Commission.

There is now bill before Con-
gress providing for an Interstate
Trade Commission of FIVE mem.
| his board takes the place OF the
old Bureau OF Corporations; and
will exercise the duties formerly
pertaining to the old bureau as
we'll AS many additional duties
The commission is to hold its
offices at Washington.
The commission will have con.
troll over the corporations engag-
ed in commerce, save common
carriers. The commission will
have the power of calling tor III
formation. statements, records,
etc, SO as to be fully acquainted
with all the workings OF the SAID
corporations. The commission
is given the power ofaccess to all
records; which may be enforced
by mandamus in the United
States District Court.
Various heavy penalties are
provided AS a punishment for
those who make false statements
to the commission; and to those
who tail to respond to subpoenas
to appear before the commission.
The great work of the trade
commission is to prevent unlaw
ful combinations and restraints
of trade. To bring iaw- breaking
corporations to task, the com
mission has very extensive pow
ers in itself; also the assistance OF
the Attorney General of the
United States.
We believe this to he a good
bill, and we trust it will be enact
ed into law; as such a board, non
partisan in its membership, and
with such extensive powers at its
command can do much to prev
ent those unla wful and piratical
trusts and combinations which
have disgraced our national his
tory the last decade.
Not destruction but control
seems to be the aim of the pres
ent bill.
