JUDICIOUS TAXATION THE RKST MEAN'S OP BREAKING UT CHEAT ESTATES. Thomas Donaldson contributes an article to the August number of the North American Review, in which many facts of importance are given. The public domain of the United States acquired b.y treaty from France, Spain, Mexico, Texas and Russia amounts to 2,S94,33a.91 square miles. From which it appears that the old Saxon spirit of land acquisition has had full play in this counUy, and at a time, too, when there was a vast domain within the original bounda ries which was unoccupied. The land thus acquired from foreign sources amounts in round numbers to 1,852,310,000 acres, and it cost the government no less than 322, 000,000, of which sum it has re ceived back 200.000,000 for land sold, leaving a difference between receipts and expenditures for un sold lands of foreign acquisition of 122,000,000. But besides the large area of public land within the original boundaries yet un sold, there ih the whole of The Immense TeriKorj Of Alaska, which at present ap pears to be held for the benefit of a single fur company. "Down to July, 1S80, the government of the United States had disposed, by sale, of about 170,000,000 acres: Classification. Acres. Uyactof donation ::,000,000 In bounties for military and naval servico 61,000.000 For internal improvements ... 7,000,000 IJy grants of saline lands to states r.f,O00 For town sites and countv seats iro,0oo Uy patent to railwav companies 45,000.000 Canal grants 4,000,000 For military roads 1.:XX),000 By sale of mineral lands (since I860) 1-18.000 Homesteads ."w,000,000 Scrip 2,000.000 Coal lands 10.7.V) .Stone and timber lands (act of 1878) 21,000 Swamp and overflow lands given to states 00,000,000 For educational purposes 78,000,000 Under timber culture act I,3-0.000 (iraduation act of 183J 25,000,000 Mineral ami Timber Land Are now our most valuable assets. The pasturage lands are of nomi nal value apart from the mineral underlying them. Our remaining public lands, exclusive of Alaska were, in June, 1880, estimated: Timber lands, S5,000,000 acres; coal lands defined, 5,530,000; pre cious metal bearing lands, Gi,000, 000 uteres, but this area will be in creased as the pasturage and tim ber lands are explored; land in southern states, agricultural timber and mineral, 25,000,000; lands ir rigable from streams, 30,000,000; pasturage, desert, including certain lands in Indian reservations and barrens, 505,000,000. The above is exclusively of Alaska." The homestead act of 18G2 was the most important of all the land kws enacted. About 75,000,000 acres have been taken up since that date by homestead settlers. But the government has derived no revenue from that source, the fees only being about equal to the surveys and other costs. But in another way the country has been greatly enriched by more than half a million settlers, who have taken up this land and have formed prosperous communities. Prob ably The Hojiiotend Art Has been the means of addinjr 3,000,000 to the population of the country. The writer holds that the swamp land grants and the gradu ation act of 1S54, were the most indefensible of all the acts of con gress touching the National do main. The railroad grants began 'u i-o0 and ended in 1S7J. Un der these grants about sixteen thousand miles of railroad have been constructed. The writer thinks it would have been better if a money subsidy had been given in place of land. An acre of land in the middle states means almost a sustenance for one person. In the Mississippi valley it means fifty bushels of corn; but on the plains it genera1' Ateans a crop of sage brush t. ,xfa colony of prairie The worst monopolists of alio lands are held to be those ijuals -who have taken pos session of them fraudulently bv an evasion of the law. The danger of capitalists and speculators grab bing public lands has been made a bugbear by these individual mo nopolists. Whenever capitalists have desired public lands, they have always got them. The needs and requirements of capitalists in .Uliiing, Timber ami Agricultural Lauds Will fix the limit of their purchas es. It is a lamentable fact, but not to be denied, that hitherto all restrictions upon bargain and sale have resulted in failure. No mat ter by whom they arc held, the public lands will be used for the purposes they are best adapted to, and the people who occupy them will ever be a law unto themselves as to acquirement and disposition of them. But taxation, exercised by legislatures elected by manhood suffrage, may be trusted to break up great estates. It is maintained that the land bounties for military and naval services have, in nine case out of ten, benefited persons other than those intended by law; and that the grants made for edu cational purposes have, in many instances, been frittered awa. The advocates of a national svstem of education, to be supported out of revenues derived from sales of land, are informed that the revenue for the past two years has been only seven cents an acre over and above the expenses. These funds having come from the sale of agricultural lands, now that this class of lands is well nigh ex hausted, no net revenue from pub lic land sales is expected at the expiration of two years. Since ISIS the public lands (mineral) have yielded $1,420,041,53 in gold and $400,422,200 in silver, and the government has received from mineral hnds S4SG,5S5, as against expenditures of twice that sum for the protection of the lands or their occupants. Timber and saline, mineral and coal lands, are subject to special laws, under which purchasers are not required to be actual settlers. All other lands can be entered under the pre-emption, desert, timber cul ture or homestead acts. In theory, the unit of holdings or maximum of allowance is 100 acres for each settler; but such has been the liberality of the nation; and such is the diversity'of our land laws, that One Settler Can Take From the public domain 1,120 acres, viz: Under the homestead a-ct, 1G0 acres; under the pre emption act, the same; under the desert land act, G40 acres; under the timber culture act, 1G0 acres. The writer maintains that the min eral land laws are not sufficiently definite, and the timber culture act, while conceived in a beneficent spirit, has thus far served chiefly as ;i means of obtaining lands in excess of the legal settlement al- lowance. Much the largest por tion of the puhlie. domain is occu pied by herders, woodcutters, lum bermen and trespassers. The unit of holding by entry should be made 1G0 acres, in fact. It is now 1,120 acres. The act of congress of June 22, 1S7G, throwing open the public lands in Alabama, Mis sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida to private entr', at SI 25 ppr acre in unlimited quantities, thus reversing the policy of hold ing the public lands for actual settlers, should be at once re pealed. These lands are about all the agrieultur.il lands the nation has left. It is estimated that in area there are more than 25,000, 000 of acres. The homestead act alone should apply to these lapds. The enactment of -&IV Colony Home-trad Law Js urged, so that colonists can, if they choose, live in villages and be considered actual residents of their lands. The pasturage or grazing lands, usually destitute of water, an enormous area lying in Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Ida ho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Dakota, Indian territory, and land strip; claim especial attention. At present there is no law for their sale or disposition. Vast herds of sheep and cattle, and bands of horses, worth millions of dollars, roam over these barrens fit only for grazing. Cattle in the rough are produced and driven to Kansas, Nebraska or Iowa, where they are fattened upon the other wise almost useless corn. Two- thirds of these lands are desert wastes, with here and there a stream or spring. The water com mands the land. The owner of the water-holes, usually entered under the homestead or pre-emption acts, is supreme. A fraction of these lands can be reclaimed by irrigation from streams. At pres ent, cattle ranges are held by con sent, and herds are protected by brands and marks. It is in testi mony that the grasses upon these lands are fast dying out, largely because of over-pasturing and neglect. In Utah it is said that in places 1,000 acres of these lands will not furnish more than sub sistence for one ox, and the aver age in the most favored localities is from five to ten acres to a head of cattle. In the judgment of ex perts such pasturage lands are not worth more than five to ten cents an acre. The writer holds that the timber culture act should be re pealed. The timber should be sold in alternate sections, the fee to remain in the government. Forest fires would in that way be prevented. At present Millions of Arre of Timber Laud Are taken on mere declaratory statements, stripped and then abandoned. The average of the coal lands is now fixed at $10 to $20 and arc held to be exorbitant. The bonanza mines, ten acres of which yielded 8111,000,000, were sold for five dollars on acre. For the reclamation of swamp and over flowed lands, GD.000,000 acres have been given away. It is held that the existing settlement laws are mainly for a condition which is past. Warning and prophetic voices are heard: Hold these lands for the generations to come. Does this mean that they are to come from Europe? The public lands are now the heritage of Eu rope and. the United States, with a preference in favor of the former. A European, male or female, head of a family or single, above the age of twenty-one years by the mere act, immediately upon land ing, of declaring his intention of becoming a citizen, can at once enter upon and hold public lands, and those who are citizens, and were born and have lived in the United States 21 years, have no prior right. May not the time be near at hand when the question of uncontrolled immigration will be a vital issue of state-craft? By "Tuivernal Acrord.
