Hawlcy And Land Grant Congressman Hawley has in- -traduced a bill in Congress pro viding for the disposal of the granted railroad lands, which will if passed require the imme- Jiate sale of the lands at not to uxceed $2.50 per acre, The lands granted to encour nge the settlement and the bulld- tngofthe mainline from Cali fornia to Portland must be sold to actual settlers in tracts not to exceed 160 acres to each party qualified under the grant to pur 3- chase the land.' In the case of the grant of land to encourage ihe building of the -road from Portland to McMinnville and from Portland to Astoria only ach alternate section is required to bt sold to actual settlers. , 1 The bill is drawn to conform to the de;ision of the U. S. su ii.eme ccurt which held that the ands could not be forfeited, and iis a consequence it is up to Con 'h l,i-ess toremedy the present state of inaction in disposing of the lands. . Some of the lands bad been disposed of prior to the suit to annul the grants, and some at a higher value than the price set in the grant, and in larger guanr tities than allowed according to the Hawley bill. If this is so there wjll h,e a gqpd chance' for more litigation in connection with these latldS. However the bill is hot drawn to correet personal grievances but rather to provide for the actual settlement of the lands in question. Whether it will ma terially aid in settling up these lands is a question, for the rea son that the party making appli cation must tender the price $2.50 per acre1 or' $400 per quar ter at the time application is made, and the company must immediately transfer title. Un der these circumstances actual settlement cannot very well be made compulsory and the result will be that the land will imme diately pass into speculators hands. However at the best this ques tion is a difficult one for Congress to settle and any action to be taken now wiil be purely reme dial and fall far short of correct ing a very aggravating condi tion. In our mind the only sat isfactory way of handling these lands would be for the govern ment to take them over and then deal directly with the public. If ...the land passes into the hands of speculators? the home seeker will eventually put money into their hands that ought to go towards developing the country. war and he has tipceeded to a certain extent although thero js hdt milch dqubt that the majority bf the people wdre in favor of National preparedness. However that canpot be said of the democratip party fQr they haye been taught in the early days pi the present term py both WUsqn and Bryan that a soft word would turn away an Invad ing force quicker than a line of artillery. It has only been since the break between the two dem ocratic leaders that Wilson has seen the necessity for prepared ness. The course that events have taken leads one to puzzle over the motive of the president. Js it a great political game to boost himself into a second term by blowing the bugle call to arms in our ears to drown the popular call of help from past democratic evils? Why should he take this opportune time to arouse the country with the election only a few months Off and Bryan run ning off :with his arms full of the president's campaign mate rial. What else could the presi dent do but call the people to arms? It is republicans he needs more than democrats for a large share of the democrats are herd ing on the plains under the old political war horse. . . doubt by the influence of tho ice bound Columbia and the inter yenipg mpuntains.
