Letters From Hawley Con
vey Idea That State Will
Not Receive Money
Telegrams anJ 1-tters received
hy the county court here yesterday
from Representative W. C Haw
ley at Washington, conveyed the
impression that the state is not
entitled to share in the Oregon
& California land grant refund.
"It would be a great misfor
tune, if after securing the legisla
tion for the advancing of the
moneys to the counties, which ser
iously nee It, a tlaimt outside,
those provided ia the law .should
interfere with ifcr operation," read
Representative Hawley's letter. '
County officials have assumed
ih attitude that the state already
has received its share of thej
taxes.
Representative Hawley's lelter
to the county court continued:
"I have conferred with Repre
sentative Sinuott. chairman or the
public lands committee, which
will have Jurisdiction over any
amendments which may be nwes
sary to preserve to the counties
intact the amounts to be paid
them under the recent act.
"I am confident that the intent
of congress was not to modify the
law approved June 9. 1919. which
provides how the moneys received
from the sates of Umber, and lands
of true former Oregon aftd. Califor
nia railroad land grant shall be
distributed, after the payment' of
certain snms directed to be paid
by the United State supreme
court." -
