The Washington News-Letter (Continued From Page Two) the “coasting trade and . . fisheries,” and shall be deemed to have sufficient license for engaging the coasting trade and the tak ing of fish of every descrip tion, including shellfish. The enactment of this bill will write into law what the Department thot the old law meant, and as it was construed for many years. Bills similar to the one en acted last year, granting a leave of absence of home stead lands during the year 1936, have been favorably reported by committees of both the House and the Sen ate. These bills will, if en acted, excuse the home stead settler or entryman, who finds it necessary be cause of economic condi tions to leave his home stead to seek employment, from compliance with the laws as to residence, culti vation, expenditures, or payment of purchase mon ey during the calendar year 1936. However, ac~ cording to the stipulation of the bills, the time of such absence shall not be deduced from the actual residence required by law, but a neriod eaual to such absence shall be added to the statutory life of the entry.
