FEDERAL PROBE OF LAHDGASEADVISED Hearings by Congressional Committee Urged to De cide on Right Course. STATE ACTION IS OPPOSED Government Attorney Agree f-ur-plus Should Cf to Oregon, but Holds Culled State Better Able to Handle Situation. A special committee of the nubile lands committees of Con (tress should Investigate the Oregon at California lend grant situation and prepare a re- port md for submission when the COMMERCE. 1 w - 1 new Cencreaa reconvenes In December, says Glenn K. llusled, who waa one ef the Government's attorneys In handling the case In the courts. Mr. Hasted points out that precedent would permit the appointment of such a committee by the Speaker of the House or by the chairman of the public lands committee. An Inquiry of this nature would place the question be fore Congress In an authoritative man ner. There Is no need for a special ses sion of the Oregon Legislature, thinks Mr. Ilu.trd. He aicrrea to the plan that the pro ceeds from the sale of the lands In ex cess of the J J 10 an acre which Is al lowed by the Supreme Court's decision to the railroad, should go to the slate and not to the Federal Government. Tlsae Aliened Cssaream. "The Supreme Court holds the pro viso of the grant's 'enforceable cove nants permanently enjoins the rail road ronipany from sales In violation of the restriction. anJ then enjoins any disposition of lands or timber thereon until l'on. has time to act." said Mr. Huated yesterday. "If Congrrns does not act within a reasonable tuno. not leas than six months from the entry of the decree, the defrndanta are Riven permission to apply to the District Court for a modification of the Injunction against lisposlllon of the land, and the District Court.

The reports for ths year were most encouraging, Indicating una of tae contested and the lttlgstlon continued Indefinitely, the land meantime being tied up and development further re larded. "An extra session of the Oregon Legislature at this time could accom plish nothing of practical benefit and would be a needless expense to the taxpayers of the state. Any Investiga tion of the subject the Legislature might make or Its resulting recom mendations would not be accepted, by Congress aa conclusive. Offlelala Can Act. He Says. As to the suggestion that the Legis lature should signify to Congress the willingness of the s'.ate to accept for Its school fund the money derived from the sale of the lands after securing to the railroad the value the granting acts confer upon lu and the desire of the stste to take over the land by pay ing the railroad company. Mr. Hunted said that the executive officers could act In this respect as well as the Leg islature: that he thought no assurance la needed by Congress or anyone that any state would be glad to accept such a sum for such purpose: that the rail road was not entitled to US an acre for all the land, but only to a maximum of ti.SO an acre for each subdivision of a quarter section or less, and that much of the land was not worth even this maximum amount. The stair should not pay for any quarter sec tion more than It la -north, and the railroad la not entitled to receive more for any quarter section than It Is worth. It Is not necessary that any amount of money be raised now to pay the rail road company for Its Interest, as the railroad can only claim Its Interest in the lands as of the date when the) are sold, he contended. I agree that the state and not the t'nlted States should have the benefit of any money received for these lands In excess of the Interest of the railroad company, he said. Aaktas; Tee SJatrh Upaesea, "I do not agree, however, that the tat should assume or that the t'nlted Stales should alilik the r-aponlbi:ii of seeing to it that the original pur pose) of the acta Is accomplished. It la In fie nature of a public land mat ter, which the t'nlied States Is beat equipped to handle. The Government has the machinery and experienced of ficials to handle the situation: the state haa not. Moreover. I do not think that the United States, having gone so far as It has In this matter and being ti e plaintiff In l!ie pending proeeetlinca. could be Induced to abandon Its orig inal purpose of enforcing the terms of the grant and turn it over to the state. Uy asking too mu. h the state may re ceive leas than It deserves. "It seems to me that the lends worth f I SO an acre or leas should be elim inated from further proceedings, the permanent Injunction aaalnst sales by the railroad company la violation of the restriction, of course, to remain In force. Thla would open that part of the landa to Immediate disposition and settlement. "Such of th lands as are agricultu ral and worth more than t'i.io an acre should be disposed of t actual settlors for the price they are reasonably worth, each tract to be Inspected by a Government agent and sale made and price collected under supervision of the court by aa officer appointed for that purpose. Bias fsr Timber -"nscealed. "The timber should be sold In tracts upon competitive bids, when market conditions are favorable, after being divided Into tracts of such sixo and location with reference to watersheds and the like aa to be mo; t suitable for lumber operation. In order that the highest price for (he timber may be obtained. Title to the land Itself upon which the timber Is located should not pass with the timber in large tracts, but after tl.e timber has been removed these lands should be sold to actual settlers lu subdivisions of quarter sec tions or leas. "In all cases the balance ever and above the interest of the railroad com pany should be turned over to the stale for road and school purposes from lime to time ss It Is received. "The Congressional committee ought easily to reconcile all Interests and ar rive at a course of action agreeable to all.
