Would you. or you. or you? Would any gentleman get up on this floor and say he would take a surface title to land when lie could get a fee simple? I put a practical question to you. but it is only one of many practical questions involved in this conservation theory. and which accounts for the retardation of the development of the West. and which accounts for the fact that the tide of emigration flows over this land into Canada and is one of the reasons why the House has passed a threeyear homestead bill and why it will pass other legislation liberalizing the land laws before you get those lands settled up. Now. what is this bill? Here is a bill that provides that where lands have been withdrawn as coal lands and the entryman has been required to take a surface title and it has been afterwards finally determined by the Government. through its Geological Survey. that there is no coal beneath this land. then. in that case. a feesimple title shall issue to the entryman.
