School Land
Free TO Railroads.

McGuirc tells You in speeches, ! am
Informed. that tn sacred school
land and fund must be preserved for
the children of the state. That is a
proper statement. but let Mr. McGuire
explain this proposition.
The statehood bill became a law on
June sixteenth, nineteen hundred and
six, but by oversight of Mcclure. no
doubt IL failed to give some OF the
railroads of Oklahoma free title 10
the school land that they had taken
for rlght-ofway and station grounds.
Noticing this oversight, McJuire I'm
mediately boosted a special act Of
Congress, which he made a law on
June twenty-siXth nineteen hundred
and six, ten days after the statehood
bill had passed, which special act is
entitled:
Public Act Number Two Hundred
and Ninety Nine which gave free TO
some OF the Oklahoma railroads what
ever school land they may have cc-
cupied for right OF way and station
grounds.
A careful examination shows that
al fair value per acre this act gave
free TO ths railroads one hundred and
awo thousand dollars worth Of this
land.
Yss,-we will call it the sacred
school fund of the state, but Mcclure
seems to have forgotten at that tins
that 1t was sacred, and deliberately
gave il free to the railroads.
