LAWS AFFECTING PUBLIC LAND
SYSTEM TAKEN ApvANT.
AGE OF.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IT,
sWINDLED OUT OF ENORMOUS
REVENUES,

Washington. March 2S-If Secretary
hitchcock does not retire from the
cabinet within very short time it
will be largely on account of the
progress of his department in the
work of bringing to an end the lanG
grabbing enterprises which have been
carried on to an unheard-of extent dur
ing the past few years. The govern.
ment officials assert that in their opir
ion the department up to this time ha
but scratched the surface of this
business.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the Oregon land frauds, and the trial
of the cases brought involving men in
high places, notably the cases against
Senator Mitchell and Representative
Hermann of that state, it is the opin-
ion of the officials of the department
that the
Prosecution Of These Gases,
and others of like character which
have been brought or will soon be un-
der way in halfdozen states and ter
ritories of the West, will unearth the
most monstrous and intricate schemes
for grabbing the little remaining pub
lie lands of the government that has
been known in the history of the pub
lie land system of the government
The scarcity of timber and mineral
and coal lands in recent years has had
the effect to make the operators in
these lines more active and astute in
their schemes for securing public
lands. The homestead, timber laws,
and all laws affecting the public land
system Of the nation have been,
worked by syndicates to an extent
that is believed to be unparalleled.
Syndicate for Grabbing.
Syndicates have been formed for
the purpose of grabbing the valuable
public lands, and the lieu land laws,
working in connection with the forest
reserve system, have been fruitful
field for the operation of the syndi-
Gates.
Not only in these fields. but also in
the coal lands of the Southwest in the
asphalt lands and oil regions of vari-
Gus sections of the Western and.
Southwestern sections. the schemes
for securing the public lands at little
or nothing have been worked to an
extent of which there is now no esti
mate, but from what the officials have
already secured. it will amount to
many thousands of acres of lands
which should have brought to the gov
eminent millions of dollars ia reve-
nues.
