With what propriety can we ask the federal govern- ment to expend millions of dollars in the construction of reservoirs and irrigating canals after all the lands tributary to them have been appropriated by a few men and & few companies? In ninety cases out of & hundred the provisions of the desert land &ct have not been complied with in securing title. In fact, the provisions of the law have been flagrantly violated and title has been mecured by the rankest perjury.” This' senator but expressed the general New of those who have Investigated the Wvorkings of the desert land law, continues Abe correspondent, writlng from Helena Mont. This law originated in 1575, whe B big cattle company In California, desiring o secure title to a large tract of land, becured the passage by congress of an act whereby it was able to accomplish its pur- Pose by a pretense of reclamation of goy- ernment domain. The process was so easy that the demand for a similar law became general and in 1877 the desert land act ractically as it now stands, was placed pon the statute book. Since 1877 there Bave been 36051 original desert fillings i upder this law in the arid states, covering 140,517 acres of public land. Of all these } Bltogs made but 10,912 have been proved up fon and title conveyed by the government, i these final proofs covering acres During each year there are between 2,500 #nd 5,000 desert flings made and between 800 and 900 final proofs wccomplished and it 18 conservative to estimate that fully 95 e ¢ent of the Oual proofs made om desert thousands of desert clalms ave filed where there 18 no possibllity of securing the necessary water. 1i is an equally notori. ous fact that the law is used in nearly overy instance to prevent others from set- tling upon the land, to secure monopoly of llve stock ranges or to monopolize water holes and water fronts in'such a way as to prevent others from using the public range in that vicinity, The matter in which many of the flaal proofs are made upon these desert claims is almost incredible. In numerous in stances no attempt {s made to water the land at all, the principal effort heing ex- pended In the securing of witnesses who will swear to a statement of allexed facts required by the land office befors patent fseues. To ease the consciences of some of these witnesses men have sbeen known to take a pall of water and in thelr presence pour it upon the land so the statement can be made that they have seen water running upon the claim. The building of Qitehes sworn to in the fnal proof gener- ally means the plowing of single furrows across each focty acres, 8o as to comyly with the law in regard to each legal sub- division, a forty being the smallest tract recognized in the surveys of the public In other well-known ani now populous valleys of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, and, in fact, in all the arld states, enough water to irrigate forty acres has been used to obtain title to thousands of mcres. ' Each claim has been proved up by the use of this tiny stream, the stream being diverted from one claim to another in succession, as demanded by the witnesses who were to swear as to the veclamation of the land. It may be statcd without exaggeration that nearly all the large land holdings or ranches in the arid west havo been built up by fraudulent uge of the land laws, and nofably by the fraudulent use of the desert land act. In the first few years of its operation each claimant was allowed 640 acres, and under this law great valleys and plains were ab sorbed on block by individuals and corpo- cations, who employed people to use their ‘esert land rights, all for the benefit of the single establishment. The amount of land which can be taken under the desert land law bas since been reduced to 320 acres but the same mothod is still belag pursued The existence of land laws which can he evaded by a form of perjury apparently re- garded as legitimate has a generally de- terlorating effect upon the public morals It has come to such a pass that few men seem to hesitate to strain thelr consclenc to cover a government land transaction. This perjury {8 open, avowed and notorlous When the land office attempts to Investigate a claim to title before title is allowed to pase the Investigation does not seem to pro- duce any real results, for apparently any number of witnesses can be secured who will swear to an unlimited number of false- hoods when a government land transaction 15 to be made. It the desert land act was resulting in the buflding up of homes upon the arld domain of the United States a certaln ele- ment of fraud might be overlooked in view of greater benefits derived. But the law as it stands today is simply an agency for the monopoly of the country By powerful industrial and political combinations, aud should be removed from the statute' books without delay. Not only should this be done, but if necessary special legislation should be enacted whereby all land now held under the desert act should be in- spected as to the possibilities of making final proof and the good intentions of those who are holding it, with the view of re- storing the same to the public domaln in case these are found defective. To take the place of the desert act it s possible to s0 amend the homestead law, which is now inapplicable to desert lands, 80 that there would be a possibllity of a homeateader securing title to desert lands in connection with his homestead by honest reclamation. The purpose of the govern- ment {s to hold the public lands for the actual settler. To make a country of homes and not of great landholdings has been the real spirit and intention of all land legls- lation. A tremendous atride toward cor- recting existing errors could be made by repealing the desert land act and epacting in ita place a desert land privilege, to be secured only by bona fide homestead set- tlers. Congress will be asked this winter to consider this matter at length and in detail, and those who are working seriously and honestly for the development of the western states are boping for intelligent #0d bonest legislation 1o the premises. of officers wera e Iolthing, wervousnass .ov . s | exchange.
