LAWS
OF Benefit
w. e. Culkin Formerly Register
of the Duluth Land Office
Writes the MINER on the Timber
and Stone Law.
GOOD THING FOR THE NORTH

The late Register Of the Land Office
at Duluth, VIM. E. Culkin, opposes
the contemplated repeal of the tim
Der and stone act and this week
makes the following statement Of his
views on the question to the MINER:
IAN essential and primary step in
the development OF any new country
is that the lands be acquired by the
people from the government. There
are solid reasons for this based on
experience and there is nothing to
to be urged in objection excepting
theories which IL put in operation
would blight progressive industrial
development.
"Until lands part from government
ownership they are untaxed. They
contribute nothing whatever to the
support of the county, the school dis
trict, the town or the state. Hence a
double, at times quadruple. burden
is borne by taxed lands, and the un-
taxed lands are, while unsold being
enhanced In value by the labors of a
few.
1T Is also true that state lands
should be sold at the earliest date and
If not sold that they should be subject
to local taxation as they are cOntinu-
ally being enhanced in value under
present conditions by the fruits of the
taxation OF private adjacent lands.
Coming back to the question of
government lands, it Is clear to be
seen that IL they can be obtained of
the government, great inducement
is held out to land loving and land
seeking people to visit new country,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-04-20

to spy out its resources, and to settle
in it or invest their surplus capital.
1.-The timber and stone law is one OF
these inducements. 1t has probably
made 10000 people familiar with this
part of the state, who, If 1t did not
exist, would never have come here.
No small number Of these have made
permanent settlement and now are
aiding in upbuildlng these counties.
"Then large numbers Of our own
people struggling for a livelihood IN
their various callings, have been
able under this law to make proht-
able Investment and secure a profit
that has bettered their fortune and
made it easier for them to live.
"This land, being taxed when sold,
is cut over and put on the market at
a low price and it will be in the future,
as it has elsewhere in the past, greed
lily bought by settlers who will open
up farms. Why should the people in
the new countries be denied this
privilege. 1t benefits the public
treasury, it aids the hotels and liv-
cries, it supports the press, 1t aids
struggling citizens, it promotes lum-
boring which is so great a main
stay, and in short is source Of gem
eral good.
what are we to have in place Of
it? They propose to withdraw all
timbered lands, and that the govern
ment shall hold the untaxed land for
ever, The timber will be estimated
and at remote intervals licenses will
be issued to cut parts of it, to be de-
signated.
"No one can profit from this except
some one who has saw mill doml-
mating the region where the timber
lies. This owner may live in Chica-
90 or Minneapolis. All the advan-
tages have first pointed out disap-
pear.
"The objection that fraud exists
under this law is puerile. Undoubted-
ly there has been some fraud but in
what public or private business can
not fraud be found? The fact is that
as now administered there is no fraud
under this law.
''No one talks of repeating the scrip
laws. Yet there is fraud In them.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-04-20

Or Of abOlishing the mail service.
Yet there Is fraud there. Or OF re-
pealing the homestead law. Yet it
has been vehicle of fraud.
"The fact is that fraud does not
arise from the laws but from careless
or dishonest administration of laws.
Let the law stand and if corruption
be found under it assail this c0rrup-
tion, not the law.
SIT may be argued that under this
law the government does not get the
full value Of its lands. This may be
doubted all things considered. 1t is
certain, however, that the govern
ment gets about as much money as 1t
would get under the new and expens-
i've plan offered after allowing for ex-
pense of government administration.
Besides this it never has been the
doctrine that the public lands should
be administered by the nation with a
view only to direct cash profit. The
idea has wisely been that the public
domain should be administered In the
interest Of the people, and that the
government reaped great good and
even cash profit from the develop
ment of the country. The national
profit could not easily be counted but
it could be seen and enjoyed.
Northern Minnesota should re-
gister a most emphatic objection to
the proposed repeal. 1t has sat dumb
long enough while men who neither
understand, care for, or appreciate
the needs Of this part Of the world
have made the air vocal with their
advice and demands.
"Along the same lines l am opposed
to the park system which is being
erected in this part Of the state. 1t
lis unwise and detrimental to the
public good. 1t withdraws land from
taxation. 1t checks enterprise and
lessons the demands for labor. II
checks immigration and inJerferes
with legitimate mining and lumber
ing. More than half million acres
of land north and east Of Ely is now
reserved. To what good end? have
personally tried to see some good in
this idea OF reservlng lands because
many of those who advocate it are en-
entitled to respect, but the more /
consider the question the more l know
about it, the more clear is my convic-
tion that it is full of evil to the
northern country and entirely with
out good. The land laws should stand
as they are and the reservations
should be opened to the people.
