Railroad Land Grants-PrOpOsed Legis-
IstIOn.
WASHINGTON, june 18th "A short bill
was passed by the Senate last Friday, wbi,h
ia Of considerable Importance to the Union
Pacific system Of railroads, and especially to
the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company. The
| Kansas Pacific, although in possession of q
grant of lands of nearly 1000 900 acres in
Kansas and Colorado, has evaded payment
of local taxes on more than 5000. 900
acres, by refusing to pay the cost Of
survey. By law patents are withheld
until the costs OF survey have been paid, and,
therefore, the title of the land romans in the
| Government, so that State and county taxes
cannot be laid upon them and collected.
Whenever farmer buys any of the land and
desires q patent, the company pays all the
| costs OF survey, and precures one for him.
The Kansas Pacific unpatented lands in
Kansas are reported to be worth S13, 000 COO,
and by the methods already described the
State and counties are deprived Of S240,OO0
per annum in taxes. The bill passed
BY the Senate provides that unpatented
lands belonging not only to the Kansas Pa.
cifc, but to any other company in the Union
Pacific system, shall, after they have been
surveyed, and after the company has become
entitled to receive patents on payment of the
cost of surveying, ETC., be subject to State
| and Territorial taxes, to the same extent as
they would be if completely conveyed and
patented to the companies. There are no
published statistics showing the number oil
Pacific system, surveyed but not patented,
and therefore not subject to loo i taxation.
| A little over year ago the Commissioner Of
Railroad Accounts reported that titles granted
to the Union Pacific, Central Pacific, Central
Branch OF the Union Pacific, Sioux City and
Pacific, and the Burlington and Missouri
Companies, amounted to nearly Al, SOC. DOC
acres, of which there has been patented by the
companies up to June 80, 1880. only

$50. OOO. 000 The bill reported by
the House Committee contains an important
provision, creating sinking fund for the

the Central Branch Of the Union Pacific
Companies. 1t proposes to amend the Sink.
