objections to the system would be very soon removed if
ms State could participate in what he denounees as sys-
TEN 81 plumber The argument which he has submitted
would be conclusive II directed against a bill TO make
grants 10 States where there are no public lands but the
argument entirely fails when applied to bill for Ala
Dama, or Arkansas Mississippi or Louisiana, any
other State where there public lands be doubled in
prce and value BY the construction OF the roads.
Inc system proposed by the senator from Georgia
would apply all public lands and their proceeds rail
roads IN other States and thus cut of entirely from the
national treasury that oil revenue. Such system
would produce the necessity for increased burdens and
revenue That is the precise result which the advocates
OF this bill wish to avoid. We in the western country
are opposed 10 any increased taxation and TO any system
OF measures which would produce such necessity We
wish to husband and enhance the value OF this land fund
and derive all the revenue from which wise and inst
policy would bring into the treasury We wish TO see
the public lands sold, peopled. and cultivated Where
trial Of twenty thirty, forty years has shown that the
lands will not sell in consequence OF the distance from
markets and from timber, we wish TO make railroads
through Them, and bring markets and timber into the cen
ire OF those vast prares and thus render them valuable
and cause them TO be sold and cultivated We believe
Tins TO be wise and Just policy, and wish TO see pre-
vail until Congress shall consent donate the lands to
the actual settlers
am sorry that have been compelled 10 detain the
Senate 50 long but have thought il due 10 the OCCASION
and to the part have heretofore acted in promoting these
grants OF public lands in aid OF railroads. to make this
explanation OF the views and principles upon which the
policy rests, although my own State no longer has any
special interest in the system We only wish 10 do 10
our neghbors what has been generously done 10 u.s. in
sustaining policy by which everybody will be benefited
and nobody injured.
