Bills to Change Land Laws Seek Repeal of Timber and Stone Act
Representative Lacey will push two bills in Congress this session to reform land laws. One repeals the timber and stone act. the other allows agricultural land in forest reserves to be claimed under the homestead act. Lacey notes desert land law frauds rose after 1881 amendments and cites Oregon investigations as context. Secretary Hitchcock backs repealing desert land law though no bill is public. The move aims to curb land frauds and share farm lands in valleys within forest reserves.
