Loop Holes :

Some have contended that the pas.
sage Of the desert entry act was for
the purpose of benefitting the wealthy
|cattlelnen of the west. Such report
was made by majority of the senate
committee on public lands in 1904. The
government has contended that it has
been the practice for wealthy men to
have those in their employ make an en-.
try, furnish them with money with
which to make final proof, and when
proof is made, they give the employer
deed. Whether this was the original
purpose Of the desert entry law, it is
certain considerable expenditure is re-
CURED to make the land worth any.
thing. If men of means are not allow.
ed to enter such lands, land win remain
in public ownership indefinitely, and
will be for years off the tax rolls Of
the state.
Since the passage Of the desert land
law in 1877, approximately seven mil.
hon acres Of land have been the sub.
ject of final proof, giving to the fed.
eral government total revenue of ap.
fourteen million FIVE hun.
dred thousand dollars.
