BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, January 5.-Sen
ator La Toilette in an address here dis
cussed The Public Domain" declaring
that 1.-The disposition of our mineral re-
sources especially, and until recently our
forests. forms a shameful chapter In the
history of our nation.
1T is matter of notoriety, disgrace

enabled during the last few years to eX
change. within the limits of their grants,
lands of little or Of no value, at least. OF
no present selling value, for timber lands
of enormous value. 1t has been possibles
within the last few years to put through
Congress legislation permitting such ex-
changes.
rs II to be marveled that the people
of the country have walked up to a reaii-
zation of their betrayal and demand some
check upon those called upon to serve
them who serve instead their own in
terests and those of others and who be-
tray the public?"
Lions Share to Corporations.
In beginning. Senator La Toilette said:
Originally the public domain Of the
United States amounted in round num-
bers to 1,4UO,0OO.UvO acres. OF this amount
nearly all OF the original domain available
tor agriculture and the greater part OF
our mineral wealth outside of Alaska has
Deen disposed of, amounting in round
numbers to more than 1VO,UyU,UUO acres.
Uf this amount individuals and corpora
tions nave acquired more than 571,UOJ.,LO
acres. Out or the J7l,VOu,U>tJ acres dis
posed of to individuals and corporations
there have been acquired through the ex-
Sreise of the homestead rignt only 1l5-
v.u.UO acres. The railroads and other
corporations had bestowed upon them by
congressional grants, without any return
whatever to the government, in round
numoers, 135,UU,OW acres
IN ADDITION to lnat. lnere have been con-
ferred upon the railroads by state grants
lands heretofore granted by the ieuel al
ing the tOtai grant to the ra.roads, in
round numbers, to 19O.UOUOO acres OF
land-enOugh to make the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Wis
cOnsin. And tine government, TIM ough It's
executive departments, has sold, at a
iiIere iiOmariai price, III fOunu numbers,

The speaker said that had the policy of
leasing. abandoned completely by the gov
ernment in 184J, been continued land ap-
piled to our coal, iron, oil and copper
.-..-o, .,i,.4 i-nus on.aIliins precious nie,-
ais, with suitable provision and control,
today be almost sufficient to defray all
of the expenses of our national govern
