Kinkaid Has Measure
to Aid Homesteaders
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. Jan. IT.-tSpecial Tele
gram.) Representative Kinkaid thla fore
noon appeared before Aaslstaat Secretary
Adams of the Interior department and
made an argument that th order of
August 4 disallowing constructive rest
dene of homesteader for six month
folloaing entry ehoukt not be permitted
to apply to any entries mad previous to
the. date of the order. '
Mr. Kinkaid holds that the order ahould
not be retroactive. Ha further holds that
aa the law for some fifty Jeers had been
construed by th department to give the
homesteaders the benefit ot the construc
tive residence for the first six months
the department could well take care of
tboaa who had made homestead entry
prior to th order of August 4.
Mr. Kinkaid believe that the depart
ment will remedy thl matter without
congTesslonal action. However, Judge
Kinkaid haa Introduced a bin to give
homesteaders toe constructive benefit and

MNiXHJs'. Jen. II.-(Hpeclal.)-Not

Instance where there will be udouhtedly
two acts of both republlcana and demo

vottrs rsn tsll what they ar really
voting for.
With th large number of name oa

for men who keep posted on politics to
remember Just who represent each of the

The lew doe not provide for any
anch contingency, neither can the wise
one around th stale house find any

should be some valid objection raised
to this, procedure. It probably will be
adopled. on the theory that the object
of he hallo and he dealgnatlona provided

to aid the voter In hla choice and that
the additional designation would be along
