Leniency For Man Trylno. To Make
Homo Is Recommended.
A radical change In the homestead
laws that will bo ot marked beneCt to
setstlcrs Is tho plan of Prcsldont Taft
Leniency for tho man who Is trying to
msko a homo on Idle lands of the
state, Included In tho various reclama
tion projects, la what President Taft
wants.
Ho Intends to modify the law so
thot tho settler upon land being re
claimed need not tako up his resi
dence Immediately upon tiling, but
msy wait two years before living on
his land. During these two years,
however, cultivation must be carried
on. Dy the tlmo the settler must com
menco living on his land, he can, by
reason of this modification of the law,
make a living from his farm. This
will do away wtlh two wearr yo
during which, under tho present law,
tne Homesteader usually finds It ne
cessary to live partly on hope.
The present provision, under which
land la to be paid for In ten annual
Installments will be so modified as to
allow a patent to be Issued for tho
land at the end ot five years cultiva
tion, and three years occupation.
The homesteaders generally will
welcome thla change in the law, re
lieving them, as It does, from all en
forced residence on the undeveloped
farm landa during the period when It
la hardest to make a llxlag. UY tho
end ot live years the new law will
furnish the settler with a Utle upon
which ho can borrow menoy with
which to continue Um development ot
his ranch.
