ORSGOIKr., Hitchcock's Policy Toward Settlers on Public Domain Strict Construction of Rules Governing the Making of Final Proof Proof on Homesteads A new intsrpretatlon to the term "speculation" hag been given by Sec retary Hitchcock In connection with the tlmbor and stono land act of 1S73. It Is held that any one who takes up a piece of timber land, expecting at any future tirno to dispose of the same at a consideration in advance of what the land actually cost. Is a speculator, within the moaning of the law. Upon this disclosure In connection with the examination of. an applicant for the purchaso of such laud, tho applicant Is rojecteu arm uismissod i Under this ruling of the department. the only persons who are permitted to purchase these lands are thoso who will swear that they own land In the vicinity of the timber land for the pur chase of which they have made appli cation, and that they desire tho tlmbor for personal use. The only person who can conscientiously pwear that ho needs the timber for his own use Is a rancher so far removed from a mill or place where lumber Is sold that he cannot buy sawed lumber. On the oth er hand, if tho applicant admits that he expects to manufacture tho timber Into lumber and soil It at a profit, It is held that his purpose is speculation, which disqualifies him as a lawful pur chaser, and excludes him from tho benefits of tho tlmbor and stono land act. A strict construction of the de partment's ruling makes it practically Impossible for the applicant to make final proof on timber land for tho pur chase of which ho has made applica tion In rogular form, unless ho wants it for an actual home. If tho applicant now gains titlo to tlmbor land. In mak Ing final proof, he must porjuro him self and dlscloso his roguish doslgns or ho must reveal a pitiable mental condition. Put on the Rack. Undor tho prosont program tho ap plicant Is takon In charge by a special Inspector as soon ns the regular form of examination and proof-making has boen compiled with. He Is taken Into private office, unaccompanied by his .lends or attornoy, and Is then put through a cross-questioning thnt would roflect credit on the criminal depart ment of a police station. The pro ceedings are conducted strictly on the star chamber order. Absurd and Ir relevant In the oextrome nro many of tho quostlons II rod at tho witness, who, If ho admits In any way that he might at somo time accept more for tho property than It actually cost him, his claim Is vitiated. The decision Is final, so far as tho local ofilco Is con corned, and tho only right romalnlug to the Individual Is to appeal to the land commissioner at Washington, and. since the order calling for this form of procedure omanated from the secretary of tho Interior, tho appli cant stands a poor chanco of getting a reversal of the decree of the lower office. Tho new policy for tho examination of applicants is shown In the follow Ing list of questions, which Is asked, almost without axcoptlon by tho spe cial Inspector of every person making final proef: 8ome of the Questions. "Why do you purchaso this tract of landr Have you any personal use for the timber or stone on this land? How long do you expect to keep tho land? "What do you exptct to do with the Interest of Scrlppers. On the rwent stringent, rnllhgs of the United States land department as to the timber land locutions the Eure ka Evening Herald charges that the ruling was made In the Interest of the scrip syndicate in the following lan guage: "Is It not a fact that this ruling was made for the exclusive, Use and bene fit of the combination who own and control tho scrip Issued by the govern ment? "Is not all the scrip owned and con trolled by a few wealthy concerns, and are not the banks the depositories of scrip In question? Can you not find sorip In banks adjacent to every local land office, sent by banks in Chicago, St. Louis, San PrahoIsVo and other large cities? All this Is perfectly Ie gltlmato unloss used for collusive and corrupt purposes. "Did It not become Imperative on the part of scrip holders to buy and own parties who could assist them in securing lands, and Is not tho contem plated act of congress the reason why the scrip holders aro fighting to get all the land possible? Has not some 75.- 000 acres of land boon gobbled up In the Eureka land office district in the past month? Will not 125,000 acros more be gobbled up tills month, and Is not tho effort made to throw out or tie up each and every claim that can be (possibly upset by book or crook? It has been truly stated that no patents aro issuing. Why? That is the ques tion, and the one who can answer this has the koy to tho situation. "Why are parties stationed in overy district land office In the United States every day to take a list of all the filings and proving on each and every tract Involved? Why nro they paying locators and others to get contests up to test claims, and furnishing the nec essary funds to do it? How is it that in many of the large firms whore tim ber lands aro pledged and hypothecat ed ns security that reports aro fur nished from the land offlcos cvory day as to what has been done? Under whoso Instructions Is this done, and why is it that no complaint Is made7 Or why Is It thnt Inspectors and oth ers do not Inspect? Why Is It that In spectors and special agents spend more time In mattors not conducive to good health or good morals than In vestigating the actual facts as they arise? And they still are tho trusted representatives of tho government What Is the reason for it?" CJPFfSTOj flBaCTgji M n SHoirLsris AUDlMOfiPAQFiC 3 TRAINS TO THE EAST DAILY.
