LAND GRANT TO IOWA.
The bill granting land TO the State OF Iowa for
Railroad purposes was taken up.
Mr.. SUMNER supported the bill on the grounds OF
Justice and right The United States stood, with
respect to the land States Ia the position OF non
resident landowner. In the early days 1t was pro-
vided that lands owned by the United states should
not be taxed. This was founded the Old feudal
principle that what belonged 10 the crown could not
be taxed. These lands were not necessary instru'
ments or means. STILL by compact they were ex-
empt from taxation. In consequence of this prohl-
bitlon 10 tax the pubtc lands, the States in which
they lie became equitably and justly entitled to re-
lief from the General Government, out OF these pub
lie lands. lie read numerous tables, showing the
immense value to the United states o. me immunity
from taxation Prior to January, 1919, 259OOO,OOO OF
acres had been proclaimed for sale. lO00000O0 had
been sold. The United States has held this vast
amt cunt OF land free from taxation an average OF
IN
tax at ole cent per acre, and found that the an
nuel tax which the United States ought to pay
amounts TO more than $2,5OO0O0. Calculating
the same tax for period Of twenty i've years,
and the United States was indebted to the land
States In the sum OF $72,49OOO0 but If the tax
was two cents an acre. as II ought n be, then the
United States held the enormous sum of over $IiO-
0Oo0o0 IN trust for the States in which the lands
were situated. During the same period, grants for
internal Improvements had been made 10 these
States OF the probable value of oay Sl0,000000,
leaving balance of $l60,000,0O0 equitsbly due to
the land States by the United States and upon
which those States had Just and equitable rigat 10
call for aid for purposes of internal improvement.
He then turned TO the advantages and benefits which
woulc RESULT all the States, on the Atlantic and
elsewhere from the extension of railroads, and the
consequent advancement of schoSl-houseS, ciyliZa-
ton and religion, and the extension Of the power
and glory Of the Union
On motion of MIR. FELCH, the bill was postponed
