Uhereas, A bill! known as the Iowa
Land Bill is now pending in the House

Uhereas, Said bill is drawn up in ac-
cordance with memorials passed by the

1923; and
Wh.reas, Strenuous efforts are being
made TO defeat the Bill, BY foreign cap
:talisls, as well as some of the friends
of new and rival routes at home; and
UheyeaS, We believe ito be the duty
of Congress to consult and carry out the
wishes CT the citizens of Iowa, as ex-
pressed in their State policy, and as
we believe tina. the general government
las landed proprie,or would confer
great benefit upon itself, as well as the
entire mass of our citizens, by granting
The passage of said bill, therefore,
Resoiued, That our delegation in Con-
gress have truly represented the interests
of the state by adherng TO the policy
adopted by the last legislature. and that
they are~sustained in their efforts by the
true friends of grant OF land TO Iowa
for railroad purposes.
ResolUed. That we call upon the con-
gressional delegation from Iowa, TO stand
by the sentiments set forth in The memo
rial, and none other, regardless OF out.
side influence ano the misrepresentation
of the sentiments of the people of Iowa.
Resoired, That the entire Iowa dele.
CATION in Congress merit the gratitude
and thanks OF our people for their zeal
and labor, manifested in support of this
measure.
Resolued, That we repudiate aud de-
nounce the action of certain lobby mem
bers, (non-residents of lowa) had at
" ashington City, in opposition to this
Measure, and request that they make II
convenient to turn their attention TO some
other purpose than that OF opposition to

Bill
ReSClued, That while we deprecate
The course that hes been pursued at home

new projects, now attracting the attention
of a portion of our citizens, we do not
wish. in the least, TO deiract from the
merits of any route; yet we are deter
mined TO stand by the policy embraced
