This theory 1 followed to its logical conclusion in recognising tiot only prior squatting upon the land, but making it necessary to "squat" in futura to secure title.

The McCumber bill is disapproved because it .would give away quarter section worth $5000 to $20,000 each UDon payment 6f -$00.- ... At the oetset of hi f Voluminous Opinion the attorney general ca mm cols on the ract tnat toe raiiroaa company ls now contending: that the decree en tered by the dutrlet court at Port land doe not accord with the decision of th aunreme court, and has ap pealed, but that- "no action congress may take concerning : tne oispoBiuon of these land can be affected thereby.' : eta Mean What They key. Th supreme court decision, the opinion proceeds, clearly establishes two thlnssi (a) that th reetrictive provislonof the granting 'acts must be taken a they read that they mean what they say (b) That $S.S0 ah acre In the aggregate 1 the sole measure of "all tha ; ralu j conferred by the granting act - ;:v "Therefore, says the attorney geh eraU $$.60 an acre is the maximum amount which the railroad Is, or ever Was entitled to receive. - , Poasible offsets, or credit, claimed by th railroad, principally for taxes, are considered at length. The aggre gate i $8,011,000. It, i pointed out that if credit are given on account of uch expenditure, the ' railroad will got more than $1.60 aa acre. "Generosity might allow a credit for taxes on a valuation over $2.50 an acre," It i observed, but uoh claims have no basis in taw or la equity.- A th land 1 not all worth a much a $2.50 an acre, say the opinion, this ls an' exceedingly generous proposal, v - Overcharge on Xand Bold. The attorney general add that in Considering ' th langu&g of the su preme court guarding th railroad in "all th value th granting act con ferred," the sum already received by the railroad In selling for more than $..60. an acre -should be , considered. Otherwise, he says, more will be paid than 1 due, and there would be danger of prejudloing a future suit by th government to recover such sums, ex ceeding $3,600,000. "Why pay $6,760,000 when the rail road 1 indebted in the Sum of $5,600, 000 f. asks Attorney-General Gregory. For this reason he favors making de duction from future aalea and paying over to the railroad only th balance due at a maximum of $2.60 an acre for all the lands contained in the original grant, or i,43,i.9.3. "If th railroad could be induoed to agree on an adjustment of the Whole matter," he says, "ft might be wiser for th government to yield on a few point. But If the company is going to -contest legislation teat congress may pas, and Indication are that it will, the government should claim all to which it 1 entitle: by the strict rule of law." Ovex-tare to Southern alflo. It is suggested that the Southern Pacific company representative be in Vited to indicate what they will ac cept a & settlement or the whole con troversy. - As to authority to legislate, the at torney general states it broadly as fOjlOW! "congress must buy back th un sold land by an appropriation, im mediately or within a reasonable time, or provide new method of disposition of the lands for money and satisfy the Just claims of the railroad com pany out of the proceeds. - Congress may retain the lands for the government, he say, or sell them, or provide th method of sale or dis position.' He recommends that accu mulated taxes be paid at once upon re suming title, the taxes to be on the basis of $8.60 an acre, All lands i sold in violation of the terms of the grant should now be con sidered as though they never had been Oreeponians are Srroiid unmatched SPeeord alliin Oregon.
