The Logan Resolution.

Senator Logan introduced the follow
 ing concurrent resolution, seeking to have congress restore to Arkansas T..
 000 900 acres of land, now a part of the
 Indian territory:
 Whereas, the western boundary line of Arkansas was, by act of congress
 in 1924 extended westward forty miles,
 thus ceding to the territory of Arkau- sas a strip of land forty miles by 300
 miles long, containing in the aggregate
 12,000 square miles, or about 7,0OO,000
 acres, and
 Whereas, in the year 1928 the then
 secretary of war, James Barbour by
 treaty with the chiefs of the Chero-
 kee nations. abolished the boundary lno
 that had been established by congress
 and thus gave to the Indians the above
 described strip of land. Thus by
 treaty the secretary of war did, by his own act and his own motion, set asid. and in effect repeal an act of the con
 gross of the United States, which action
 of said secretary of war was unconstitu- tional and without precedent. Special reference to this transaction is made
 by Thos. Benton on page .107 of his
 book entitled. Thirty Years in the United States Senate" in which he states that said act was a fragrant vio- lation of the constitution of the United States; and
 Whereas, the state of Arkansas has
 for more than seventy years slept on her rights, and thus her citizens hava not only been deprived of the use and benefit of 7,000,000 acres of valuable
 and fertile land, but the state itself has lost millions of dollars that would have been collected in taxes, as well as tho loss of aditonal representation in con-
 gress and in the electoral college; there- l fore, in view of the fact that congress | is now debating the question of mak- tAfA Of Tx,Is l is desired before any action is taken | in that direction that the state of Ar kansas take such steps are necessary | to have said land returned to her; there | fore, be it
 Resolved, by the general assembly of | the state of Arkansas, now in session, | That our senators and representatives l in congress be, and they are hereby, | requested to take the necessary action 1 in that body to at once return to thu state of Arkansas the area as described | that was ceded to the state by the act l of congress of 1924.
