The Kin ) < nid Homestead Law.
A IIcw3papcr corrcspondcnt at
Washington scnds out a report
relativc to thc Kinkaid homc-
stead law-which will be interesting -
esting to a largc numbcr of l H-
FUllI.ICAN r adcrs-as follows :
'fhc so.callcd Kinkaid homc-
stead bill , which brought comfort
to hundreds of intcnding seWcrs
, in thc wcstcrn Ncbraska district
and which has largely bcclI
takcn ad vantage of by farmers in
that section , has had a scrics of
ups and downs in the land ofiicc ,
which it author , Moscs P. Kin-
kaid , proposes to rcc.tify if it is
in his powcr. Sincc thc passagc
of the Kinkaid act hc has
watchcd its elIccts aud not d its
drawbacks. It was undoubtcdly
thc bcst bill that could hc passcd
at the timc , according to mcm-
bcrs of thc publicland committcc ,
and it is doubtcd if sl1ch a
measurc could havc bccn passcd
in any congrcss sincc the Fifty-
ninth , and the possibility of its
passage in thc congrcss now in
scssion is cxtrcmcly questioned.
However , it is a law and thc
mcasure of Jood it has accomplished -
plished is testificd to by thc
large numbcr of cntrics that have
bcen made undcr its provisions.
Nothwithstanding it is a law ,
the land ofiice has bcen extremcly
pertinacious in is intcrpretation
of features of the Kinkaid act to ,
the extent that many cntrics
that havc been ma c on lands in
the tcrritory alIcctcd by thc act
have been held up until intcnd.
ing settlers ha.ve grown tircd 01
waiting upon action by the
department and have abandonc(1
their cn trics completcly. It
fact , by its masterly lIIactivitYI
the land ollicc , having presum ,
ably more vital things at hand
has made it nccessary tllat the
represcntatives from the Sixtl
. . . district bring it before the at
tention of the land ofiicials.
Today Judge Kinlm1 < l had ;
long conference with Com'mis
sioncr Ballingcr of the gencra
land office in relation to Ull
operation of certain fcatures 0
the bill which givcs intendinl
settlers the rig lt to entcr UpOI
lands over and abovc the t ( ) '
acres prcscribed'undcr th ,
general homcstcad law. II
brought to the attcntion of MI
Ballinger that the act , whic :
was iutended to be in thc natur
of a large relief for the honc
scttlcr , w Sbcing choked to dcat
in the general land ofiicc bccaus
of the failure to administcr th
law pro crly , and especially s
in relation to thc 1 > urchase ( ]
isolated tracts surrouilding lan
entertd upon by the homcstcadc :
It was Mr. Kinkaids contentio
that the applicJ.tioll for thc
purchascs should bc passed UP ( ]
in due scason by the departl11cn
but instead applications ha ,
becn allowcd to grow musty j
the department and so far as at
action of officials show have bee
en tirely forgotten.
Judge Kindaid , who kno\ '
every foot of the Sixth distri
and who is in complete harmer
with his constitucnts , sccs tl
ne essity of increasing the si
of isolated tracts which may 1
purchased by homesteaders fro '
a quarter scctiou , which is nc
the law , to thrce-quarters , al
he purpose to mal < e a figh t alOi
thcse lines in ordcr to ma
his bill still more effective.
'i lIe also urgcd upou Commi
sioner Ballinger tll t the rutil
of the general land office relati
to entry of old soldiers up
lands in thc .Sixth district j
cludcd under the provisions
the Kinkaid act should be giv
the old s l lcr the second t 1
if in the first instance , by reasl
of a misunderstanding , his fil
entry wa 110t satisfactory to tl
\ department. He urgcd the J
I' . " sumption of the former rutin
. Judge Kinkaid pointed out
: { + . interview with the commissiolJ
: ' ' . : ( today that othcr states in t
. , arid or semi-ard bclt were m (
. ; ing for laws like that of t
: JJ : Kinkaid act , only that they i
t' ' sist d upon a larger acreage U1 ]
, I which entry could bc madc
the intend1l1 : homesecker tlt
under his .blll , which to 11
showed the trend of the westl
mind upon these ver ) ? import ;
