Washington, D.. C, Jan. 25, 1910. Dear Sir: I am sending this gon- eral form of loiter to many newspa pers, granges and commercial organ izations of Oregon for tho purposo of getting before tho people tho ldoa I have oiubodied In a bill I shall in troduce iu tho senate, that production of crops, rather than residence upon a homestead, Is tho essential of suc cessful and most enictent develop ment of our resources, Lhavo done this in tho hope that tho pooplo of Oregon will favor thoir delega tion hero In congross with their views us to the wisdom of tho pro posed legislation. I am Informed by Mr, William Hanley, an extensive stock ralsor in Harney county, that thoro aro 20, 000,000 acres of vacant land in Eastern Oregon incapablo of Irriga tion, but nearly all suscontlblo of cultivation undor tho scientific moth ods of "dry farming." Mr. Hauloy's suggestion of substitution of crop production for acttinl rosldonco ap tho consideration for obtaining titlo increasingly impresses my mind. If tho bill which I luivo proparod should becomo a law, tho homestead er on non-Irrigablo land in what la known as tho nrld region ncotl not livo upon his land at all,, but must livo within tho stale. IIo must cul tivato It either personally or by rep resentative, and ho must show by an nual proofs that within a period of livo years tho land has produced crops of a total value of ?1R00. Assuming that Mr. Hnnloy's ostl- uato of 20.000,000' acres of vuranl land in Eastern Oregon is corroct and that sumo can bo brought undoi cul tivation by adoption of what is known as "dry farming," this area of land would furnish opportunities for (50,000 homestead ontrymon, who, beforo they could ncquiro tltlo, would bo obliged to produce crops of a total valuo of $90,000,000. Thus it will bo seen that tho nation, state awl community would bo bonoflttod In tho. dovolopmont of our natural ro Hourcos, woalth Incroasod, and, what Is more important, u class of citizens gained who would bo obliged to pro duce, rather than ih&i'uly livo on the land a population of workdrHi In its present condition and in tho proeoiit state of settlemont and of transportation fncllitioi most of this lam l "Ot sultablo for homosteudH, though it could be cultivated by men who would make their homos olse whoro, or upon the land through only prnliiliiH fniiv why Dr. Williams' Pink Pill to tho noodfi of wenk Wftmnn lit fill litre and Hives mnuv Iielnful HiiL'ritlnii regard to th6 care of their health., Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain too harmful or habit-form Ina ilrnm nnrt ti,d nfferer who irives them n. tWnt win Avoid the dancer so common in inbinn drnca wlifpli Dills have enrcri nrli Iilruvl u,i1 v, . -m noiu urease as nniomm, rhotiiiiatium, Btom- noil iruuuiB. nnrvnnniif iinnrnini. 8t Vitus' dauco and Iiave been ootid iuvnluablc in partial paralysln and loco- minor umiin.

Phono Muln 208 pon tho thoory that if a tract of land is mado produc tive It. will provide some family with a home, ovon though that family lives In a town nonr tho land, rather than upon tho hind itself, aijd that, thoroforo, all of tho ossontlnl objects of tho homestead law will bo accom plished. Tho great diniculty under tho prosont homestond Inw Is that a groat many mon who settle upon land under tho homestead acfr dp s ljttlo cultivating as tho Jaw wll) pormlt, and avoid as tnuny as pOHslblo of tho govornmont's rartulromonts, and their land is not made productive). ueuoviiiff that production !. tho real ossontlal, I mado that tho most important feature, of my bill., Land Buiwuio ior -iiry rarmlng" is fre quently such as a man would not caro to mako his homo upon for 12 months In tho year, but tho prosont law nar mlttlng 320 acres requires actual ros. Idonco, and, I bellovo, without accom- piianing any desirable end by such requirement. Undor tho plan proposed by my bill an oniryman undor tho 320-acre Homestead could koop his family In any town of Ofogpn, w:hor0 his chll drgn could go to school and all momb.ora of hla family havo the nd- vantage of attendance nfe church and nocl-il functions, and. at uB. tlm. by complying with the law re- Itardtnjc ultiVfttIon and produnion. ho could secure title to thf land Th. io wfu!d bo no opporfm,.! fr fraud, botauso tho bill require that; annual proofs must bo gubmlftL-d showing tho amount of land cultivat ed and tho character, quantity, and valuoxof crops produced, I bollovo that tho average farmer on 320 acres of land subject to entry undor tho enlarged ' homestead act would bo ablo to produce crops, of milch moro than $1500 in value In a porlod of Ave years; but tho $1500 minimuBfllmit is fixed as u standard to which tlio- ontryman must M'orlc. and 1 bellovo that even under adverso circumstances any man who is enter prising and diligent will bo ablo to produce crops of this valuo. Tho thoory of the homestead law is that tho government should provide cheap homes for tho people. This theory is in no way vlolatod by my bill. Land taken under this measure would maintain homes for the en trymon oven though these homes woro a fow miles distant rather than upon the land itsolf. Tho residence requirement of tho homestead law is In tho nature of a penalty, tho punishment being In flicted not only upon tho ontryman but upon his wife and children. At prosont tho ontrymen takes hlB fam ily into Isolated regions in which va cant lands can bo found and- keeps them hero to livo a period of flvo years of banishment fro raasnoclatlon with follow-bolngs, In a great many cases the homo stoador performs just as little work upon his land ns posslblo, and as soon as ho gots tltlo removes his family to town whore thoy can havo the ad vantages of school and social lntor courso. Tho roal object of providing homos is not accomplished by tho re quirement of actual rosldonco upon tho land. This object would bo ac complished, howover, by tho rcqulro mont that a man shall bring his land into productiveness. To produco, Bomcono must cultlvato tho land. To cultivate economically, vicinity, la bor and lntolllgont attontlon aro re quired of tho ontryman or his repre sentative. Tho ontryman's doalro Is the acquisition and ownership of tho land; tltlo can only bo obtained through production; production no cossitatos incroasod population, olth or of tho ontrymon or their roproson- tatlvos. Tho valuo of tho land ac quired by tho ontryman doponds upon continuing production. Thus, It Is cortain that tho land onco acqujrod will, undor normal conditions, con tlnuo productlvo, as otherwise thoro Is no incentive for ontry nor to pur chase after tJ(:lo Js acquired, Neces sitated production eliminates tho ovll of idlo iatid, duo to non-resldon own ership. M bill roquiroa that tho ontryman shali cultlvato at legist one-olghth of IiIb land tho socond year, ono-frth tho thli'd year, on6-half tho fourth and flf'tli years, and that ho must file In tho local land offlco by tho flrsc of Decombor of oaoh yoar a sworn state ment, vorlfled by nflldavlta of two persons lwiving knowlodgo of tho fact, showing tho character, quanti ty Ulld valuo. of the ofops produced by Him.
