u2 =" But VIC do not see that the question
of, the payment or non-payment Of the
bonds is the issue to be settled by the elec-
ton on the 18th Of June. The question then
to be voted on g simply whether the State
consultation shall be 50 amended as to allow
future Legislatures to do as they please
with the Internal Improvement lands. The
people Of this State, nine years ago, said by
the adoption of thai amendment to the con-
stitution. that they would not let the Leg
islature dispose of those lands without first
submitting the method Of their disposal to
the vote Of the people. Now the people are
asked to vote for . constitutional amend
ment which would practically turn over
those lands to future Legislatures to do with
as they see fit. IF the people want to do
that, it will of course be all right, but they
ought to know what they are doing. They
the lands under the delusion that they are
there by voting for settlement of the bonds,
for there is not any necessary connection
between their surrender of the Internal Im>
provement lands to the control, to the
-whims and oaprioes,~ of all future Legisla-
lures, and the payment of the bonds.
A vote on the 18th 81 June for the oonstist
tutional amendment will be simply vote
for surrenderfng the control of the people
over the lands a. ssa n Z

From the .know = history Of thpse,
who aretoppos ihgthfs lnt1Iure, there,
is room from the Inference that they
look forward Ito t n r. probability Of
having these lands appropriated for
the dement, OF persons who MAY be-
come y interested { # in future schemes
for their absorption. p. The editor Of
the Y . Post, for instance, was Al mem
Der OF the Green Bay, Lake Pepin
and Omaha railroad company, which,
a few years ago, was an applicant
for $1,000 acres Of this land. Some
times there is ga wheel within a
wheel" and as those who are so anx-
ious that the people should hold
these lands against all Corners, were
but recently as anxious to divide
them up amongst themselves, it is
not far fetched to suppose that they
may now have a scheme in contem-
plalion for a future division for their
own advantage. ~.s.s%.<~
