MAY COMPLETE HOMESTEADS

The proposition that all settlers up
on the public domain Should receive
fair and equal treatment is being c
ognized by the federal authorities in
rulings that permit the acquisition of
hometsteads of sufficient creage to
provide a living for the entryman. 1t
has happened, under the various ad-
ministrations, that conflicting inter-
pretations of the intent of the law
were made by the department, these
rulings giving the right of homestead
entry to some applicants, while other
applications were rejected.
According to recent advices from
Washington a bill was passed during
the closing hours of congress in which
it is provided that all pending home
stead entries made in good faith prior
to January 1, 1914, under the enlarg-
ed homestead act by persons who be-
fore making such enlarged homestead
entry had acquired title to land un-
der the homestead law, be validated.
II IN other respects regular, in ali cas-
es where the original homestead was
for less than 100 acres.
1t develops that for forty years the
interior department held that a per-
son who had made homestead entry
of less than 100 acres of land had not
exhausted his or her rights under the
homestead law, and could, at anv
time, make additional entry of sufi-
cient land to bring the total holding
up to a quarter section.
Recently, however, the department
changed its ruling and now holds that
a citizen who makes n homestead
entry and acquires title exhausts his
homestead rights, whether he enters
16O acres Or 40 acres, or even less.
When the enlarged homestead law
was passed a provision was inserted
to the effect that a qualified homestead
entryman might enter 800 acres under
the enlarged homestead law, and the
department, at the time the law was
passed. regarded as qualified home
stead entrymen" all citizens who had
homesteaded less than 100 acres under
the old law. Thus it happened that
many SETTLERS in the west, who had
homesteaded tracts of less than 100
acres, were permitted, under the rul-
ing of the interior department, to
make an enlarged homestead entry. of
800 acres. The department subse.
quently having reversed it's ruling.
these entrymen, but for the recent
enactment, would lose their dry farm
homesteads. They are protected in
their rights by the new law, but only
those are protected who entered prior
to January /, 1914.
