ROSS DECLARES
STATE IS ROBBED
LAND COMMISSIONER SAYS FED.
ERAL GOVERNMENT is GUILTY
OF LAND FRAUD.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 19.-The land
frauds the government is prosecuting
are of little Importance as compared
with the frauds the federal authorities
are fOisting upon the state of Wash
ington. according to a vigorous letter
+. w Ross, state land commissioner
has addressed to Congressman Fran
els w. Cushman.
Mr.. Ross paints out that when
Washington was admitted into the
Union congress passed an enabling
act which the state accepted ana which
is an inviolable contract between the
two, under which absolute title was
vested in the state, for school purposes,
of sections 16 and 36 in every town
ship. Despite this solemn contract
congress has passed subsequent legis-
latioh and the federal officials have en-
forced rules and regulations which
have robbed the state of thousands of
acres of the best lands in these Sec
tons. and are making it impossible for
the state to reimburse itself for these
losses. In his letter Mr.. Ross says, in
part:

SENATOR TILLMAN ENTERTAINS

SO long as Ben Tilman is a member
of the United States senate we may
rest assured that the country will not
, want for occasional entertainment The
senator has the lecture habit strong.
He has that fervidness of speech and
vigor of personality which marks the
manner rather than the substance. AL
though for cratic conception as to
many things. for an apparent constitu-
tional perverseness to what ordinary
men believe in and respect. Senator
Tillman has the reputation that will
never fail to command an audience.
The predaceous Caroiinian does not
allow the present session of congress
. TO wax exceeding old before he comes
TO the front with one of his entertain
ing stunts. To strike at every head in
sight is the favorite Tillman pastime
and the exhibition OF strenuous belab-
oring in which he INDUCES is the more
amusing because he fails to hit any
thing worth the while. He goes after
the president and the banks and all
officials Who can be brought to in
termediate relations with these two,
and upon these and all that they have
done, should 90 or have failed to do,
he has poured the viais of his wratEful
g sCorL.
Following senatorial tradition, Till
man voices a demand for investigation.
To most other people it is not appar-
ert that there is much of anything to
investigate. But Senator Tillman would
have us. believe the that financial
trouble. how passed. is still with us,
and that its genesis may not properly
be understood without the aid of a
senatorial investigating committee. So
far as it may, the rest of the country
would forget the more serious features
of the trouble, the origin of which is
reasonably well understood by the
rank and file. There is no general dis
position to start a slow-gong commit
tee of the United States senate after
the shadow that has vanished. nor is
there any general impression that this
will be done Mr. Tilinlan probably
does not expect ii.
The South Carolina senator is man
of ability, though his trend is toward
the abnormal manifestation of mental
peculiarly. When he speaks the coun-
try expects to be entertained. and in
this regard Mr.. Tiliman does not dis
appoint 1t is well. without doubt. tina;
the country is content to be enter
tanned by Senator Tillman and to let il
go at that. 1t would be far from well
if the vitriolic senator were taken toe
seriously egram.

production of Antony and Cleopatra
lit is true that Mr. Hanford has selected
la season when complaints of bad bust
mess are most numerous for what is
perhaps the most elaborate and eX-
pensive representation he has ever Of

Hanford has a solid and ever-increas-

conduct his tours independently of
conditions which affect ordinary the

Mr.. Ross points out that the laws
make unavailable state school sections
within their borders, although title to
such sections is absolutely vested in
the state under the enabling act. In
addition it is pointed out that as fast
las new lands are surveyed the interior
department makes rules or the presi-
dent issues proclamations which pre-
vent the state making any selections
for granted lands lost and enable set
tiers and spectators to make first
filings, all in absolute violation of the

Because the governments lax land
law procedure has permitted the gros-
sest frauds, is no reason for an as
sumption that the states administra-
! ton of its lands has been correspond
ingly incompetent, according to Mr..
Ross. On the contrary, he declares:
1.-The state of Washington is receiving
! for it's lands all that it is entitled to
receive. * s. In fact, is receiving
higher prices than individuals owning
lands in the vicinity are able to re-
ceive. OF course, some exceptions are
bound to occur, from one cause or an
other, even excluding any possible ele-
ment of fraud, but these exceptions
stand out as proving the rule by COM
parison.

The title to the lands remains in the
