    No fees or commissions are required of persons making entry under 
the desert land laws except such fees as are paid to the officers for 
taking the affidavits and proofs. Unless the entry be perfected under 
the Act of February 14, 1934 (48 Stat. 349; 43 U.S.C. 339), the only 
payments made to the Government are the original payment of 25 cents an 
acre at the time of making the application and the final payment of $1 
an acre, to be paid at the time of making the final proof. On all final 
proofs made before the authorizing officer, the claimant must pay to the 
authorizing officer the costs of reducing the testimony to writing, as 
determined by the authorizing officer. No proof shall be accepted or 
approved until all charges have been paid.
