the psosssssd object ofdoubling OF enhauslng the
price a. the reserved sections, form psscedsnt
which, the signs Of the times indicate, will here
after be less covertly followed;
An act Of June IS, 1888, granted certain odd
numbered sections of land to Wisconsin, 10 aid
the construction Of. canal connecting the wa
tiers Of lake Michigan with those of Rock river
and, reserving the alternate sections along the
line of the canal to the United States, fired
their minimum price at $3.50 per acre. Again
An act Of May 8, 1916, granted to Wisconsin
quantity of land, equal 10 one talf Of three
sections In width, on each side of the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers and adjoining lakes for their
improvement and to connect the same by a
canal land il reserved the alternating unsold Sec
tons to the United States at minimum price
fixed at o. so per acre
Thus, to enhance the value of the contiguous
lands reserved to the States, they have made
these grants as proprietor in that community.
This is the principle. Now for the practice.
The ID section of the act of May 80, l84s,
admitting Wisconsin into the Union, covertly
brings down again the minimum price of these
reserved United States sections to $l25 per
acre, either for the purpose of sale or for pre-
emption.
But more than this. Grants Of alternate Sec
tons of land have been and are being made for
roads and canals through territory of which the
largest portion has been previously disposed Of
And the beneficiary State or company is per-
mitted to 60 to the extent of fifteen miles or
more, and make their selections to supply the
deficit. But the sections which alternate with
these distant selections, if there are any vacant,
are not enhanced in value either nominally by
the act, or in effect by the remote improvement.
