The La Grande Observer predicts
that the days o f the land frauds are
over and adds: “ Those land fraud
cases may as well cease. The Su
preme court has laid dowu the rule
that any of us can speculate on
Government land without being
criminals. That is, we may file
first and then we have 60 dtfys in
which to find a buyer who will put
up all the money before we have to
make final proof. There will be no
further land fraud in this country
and those under indictment had
better be dismissed and the entire
matter dropped.’ ’
