ANOTHER CHANGE
FOR HOMESTEADERS
Thoso Who Fllod Ton Yoarm Ago Will
Be Glvon Mora Land If QUI Now
Buforo Congroaa Pasies
Bills giving a new right of
homestead entry to former home
steaders and authorizing the Sec
retary of the Interior to adver
tise an J sell lands valuable prin
cipally for grazing purposes,
have been introduced by Repre
sentative Mondell, of Wyoming.
The Mondell homestead mea
sure would make it possible for
one who had already proved up
on a homestead to make another
entry, providing the former ent
ry was perfected at least 10
years before application for the
new entry, and with the further
restriction that the entryman is
not then the owner of the area
embraced in the former entry.
In discussing this measure Mon
dell said:
"From the beginning, our
homestead policy has been based
on two related and yet somewhat
different lines of thought. One
is that the Nation has a large
area of virgin soil which should
be distributed among those wil
ling to make homes upon it and
comply with the laws governing
settlement; the other is that the
Nation needs the assistance of
those most competent and wil
ling to undergo the hardships
and privations necessarily inci
dent to the subjugation of new
lands and pioneer conditions. I
have tried to draw this bill in
harmony with both ideas.
"The problems now confront
ing homestead settlers in the
West, both under the reclama
tion projects and on lands where
irrigation is not possible, are in
many respects more trying and
difficult tliaa ever, and the coun
try will do well to enlist in the
solution of these problems the
former homesteaders whose con
dition or inclination prompts
them to renew the struggle for
another home on the public
lands."
The other Mondell bill author
izes the Secretary of the Interior
to sell to the highest bidder, on
terms not exceeding five annual
payments, tracts not larger than
one section to any one person, of
non-reserved land examined and
classified as non-mineral, non-irrigable,
not containing merchant
able timber and chiefly valuable
for grazing. The intention of
the bill is to make it possible for
settlers to purchase tracts of
strictly grazing land near their
homesteads, in hi3 opinion, one
of the most urgent needs of
Western settlement.
