Land Policy in arkansas poor State is
abused the "worst governed State in the
Unlon." Let US compare some of our public acts
with those of Mississippi, for instance.
Arkansas donates her forfeited lands to actual
settlers, and, by this policy alone, our population
has greatly increased.
Mississippi donates nothing, but holds up all her
lands at high price and emigrants pass through
that State to enter upon the rich lands in ours.
which they get by settling upon them, and pa wing
4 few fees.
Arkansas has reduced the price of her public
lands, and sells them on a credit, thus inviting the
Industrious poor to oar State, where, by their in
dustry, they can make their lands pay for them.
selves.
The last Legislature of Mississippi passed an
act TO sell her Internal Improvement lands for
Bank bonds, at Sc per acre,-offering, at once,
to place her lands in the hands of spectators and
ion-residen:s. The scheme proved a failure; the
act raised the value of the bonds and none could
be procured cheap enough to buy lands at such
high price, The consequence was, but few sales
were made, and those to non-resdents.
When we compare the land policy of Arkansas
to that of other States can excaim that this is
not the worst governed State in The Union Our
land policy especially has attractedthe marked
ate 'niion of the public men in other tates.
