Frauds in the Land Department.

WAsHINGT N. Feb. Ex-senator Vanwyck
in his speech Friday against frauds in the
Land Department made direct charges. He
declared an organized ring is robbing the
Government by means of these township
surveys. Under the Jaw a township site can
be surveyed by depOsiting at any Govern
ment depository an estimated amount of the
cost of the suTvey.in return fer which the
party making the deposits is given land GER
tificates, which are receivable in payment
for Government lands anywhere. The orig
inal law made these certificates receivable
only for land in the township surveyed. and
IL fact the records show since the amend
ment 10 the law making them generally re-
ceivable there has been an enormous increase
in these surveys. Nanwyck charges the ring
surveys townships where the land is ALSO
lutely worthless and uses the certificates to
purchase valuable lands elsewhere. Charges
that the surveyors general are in the ring,
and they give out contracts for surveys to
members at figures largely in excess of the
cost In proof of these charges he cites the
fact that the names of the same parties APP
pear on the records of the General Land
Office as contractors for making these sur
veys in Arizona, California, Idaho, Ne
braska and Nevada. A table showing the
remarkable increase in these surveys was
presented by Vanwyck. 1t shows operations
under this survey system are costing the
Government millions of dollars and that
the expenses in this direction continue to in
crease yearly.

looked for. The situation is one that calls
relief from some quarter. Every day
