Land Laws
May b c Repealed
Through Work Of
Organized Lobby
nnrenu d rhe Leader.

l4i3 G, ST., n. w.
Washington, D. c., Dec 5.-There Isl
an organized lobby i- he national
capitol for the purpose Of securing
the absolute repeal Of the land laws
Of the United States without offering
anything in the way Of a legislative
substitute. A great deal might be
said concerning the purposes Of the
persons thus engaged but whether
they are corrupt or having a corrupt
ing influence need not be asserted or
stated. The kernel Of the shell Is the
simple fact that they are the possess
ors of, o., the agents Of the holders Of
large amount of scrip which would
become exceedingly valuable if they
were able to secure the repeal of the
land laws without any modification
by the way of substitution.
In other words they might dispose
Of scrip at sc DER acre which the
owners could locate on timber land
worth s100 OF course there is not a
great quantity Of land that is worth
that much but there is some, in every
state; but there are many thousands
OF acres Of land which might be To-
Gated upon which Is worth from s25
an acre up to $50 or $40 an acre.
These lobbyists are particularly
antagonlstic to the Hansbrough bill
providing "for the disposal Of timber
and stone on public lands, chiefly
valuable for timber and stone" This
bill is not only a carefully prepared
measure for the modification Of the
public land laws but it is wise meas
ure In that It's effect would be tht
preservation of the American forests
for an indefinite number of future
generations. The most unwise nan in
history because he either lacked learn
ing or foresight was Ki1g Solomon;
the potentate by whose autocratic ord
er the timbers of the whole country
of Lebanon were destroyed. Previous
10 the merciless destruction OF the
cedars Of Lebanon the valley of the
river Jordan was the most fertile in
the then known world. Subsequent to
the destruction of the Lebanon forests
the Jordan shrank, the water supply
having been destroyed until It became
what II is today practically. a desert;
and the fertile plain of Esdraelon can
scarcely supply food for the nomadic
Arabs.
The Hansbrough bill would not only
preserve the forests but would make
it lawful for the secretary Of the in
terror to sell to the highest bidder
the right 70 cut, quarry and remove
within a reasonable time timber and
stone after having had such timber
or stone duly appraised and adver-
tised; and IL would authorize the sec
retary Of the interior to reject any
and all bis according to their en-
vironments; and It would provide that
no nonmineral public land should be
sold Sichout carefully prescribed leg
al safeguards.
Under existing laws, proofs can be
made before commissioners who are
not always parties who rise above To-
cal Influence; yet their recommenda.
tions are necessarily accepted by the
registers and receivers of land Of
hces The proposed legislation would
require proofs under the commutarlon
law and the tesert land act to be
made before the local land onices.
