DISTRIBUTION OF LAND RECEIPTS.

TIE HOUSE COMMITTEE IN Favor OF DEvOTISG
THE PROCEEDS OF LAND SALES TO EDUCATION.
by rELEeKAfH TO IHE TRIBuSEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The House Committee
Education and Labor at its meeting tomorrow
morning expects to conclude the consideration Of
numerous bills referred to II, all having for their
general object the appropriation Of proceeds Of
future sales OF public lands to educational purposes
The blu which will he reported will not probably
differ much from that introduced by Chairman
Walker early the This bill provides that
al the Close of each fiscal year the Secretary Of the
Interior shall certify TO the Secretary Of the Treasury
the amount which has been received from the sale
of public lands during the past twelve months. and
that for Ave years this sum. which now amounts
to about 81 SOC, 900 annually shall be distributed
among the States in the ratio Of relative illiteracy
in EACH "a shown by the before the distrbu-
tion. No State is to receive any part Of these
funds which has not already established a
common school system. and which does not
of itself support common schools for at least three
months In the year. In case any portion of the
money is lost or squandered, then the State which
has wasted It's portion is not to any further
share Of the money until Its losses have been made
good. After FIVE years one-hah OF tho proceeds of
the sales of public lands only are to be distributed
the other half to be invested a. permanent fund,
the interest only to be used as before described
After ten years no further distribution OF annual c
eeipts is to be made but the whole sum Is to be in
vested and the interest only used. Thereafter the
distribution is to DO made according to the popula.
ton Of the States instead Of in the ratio Of iteraey
In each. Some Of ths Committee favor dividing
