FOR BENEFIT OF SCHOOLS
AND UNIVERSITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. u Senator
Pittmans bill granting seven million
acres to Nevada for the benefit of
public school and the university, pas
sed the senate after bitter intermit-
tent fight OF several days. The de-
bate became general ana involved the
whole subject of western land legis
lation. Senator Smoot of Utah was
most persistent in his opposition, con
tending that the grant was too large.
the minimum price too small and the
conditions of the bill too liberal. that
Nevada was being more generously
treated than the other states.
Senator Poindexter urged an amend
ment cutting the grant down to three
million acres. The amendment was
lost. He then offered an amendment
reducing the grant TO four millions
The amendment was lost Senator
Lafollette urged most intensely his
amendment TO prohibit the sale of the
state of any of the land for twenty
FIVE years. This amendment was los'
after an impassioned attack by Sena
tor Pittman and a convincing argu
ment by Senator Newlands.
Senator Lefollette then offered a
amendment fixing the minimum prize
at three dollars per acre.
Senator Pittinan answered this b.
calling attention to y provision 10
appraisement by state board am
urged that the people OF the stat
know more OF the value of the Ian
than the senator from Wisconsin o
Utah and that no one dare questo
their integrity.
