In Letter to Judge P. A. McCarran
Senator Further Explains Land Bill

ed that there should be limit of $40
rer acre placed upon the land 1t is
apparent that if such a restriction
were placed upon the grant that near
ly all of the land would be unsold, as
most of the known water i'll our
state has been acquired.
My amendment was. intended to
meet this objection and to suggest
the best means of arriving at the ac-
tual value of each particular tract.
Every safeguard has been thrown
around this grant to protect it against
monopolization that exists in any 9TH
er land bill. and additional projections
that do not exist in other land bills.
Coal entries are limited to 800 acres;
timber and stone entries were limited
as to acres, and desert land entries
were limited as to acres. These were
the only precautions that the legisla-
tors could perceive that could be
thrown around these acts.
''Of course. frauds were attempted
upon the government in the efforts
to monopolize these various charac-
ters of land under said acts, but the.Se
frauds have been so severely prose-
cuted, both crimnally and civilally
that the attempt at such frauds have
become Improbable If any citizens
of Nevada attempt through agents or
dummy locators or through other
fraud to acquire more than $40 acres
under this act, they will be subject
to the same prosecution, both crimin-
ally and civi1ly, as has been maintain
ed in the frauds that | have just re-
ferred to.
"a citizen can acquire but one sec
ton of land and after such acquisition
he cannot bid on another. He makes
his selection and it is advertised fo1
sale. He can make only one selec-
ton. He cannot bid on any other
tract until he bids on the one he has
selected. If he acquires it at the sale
he is forever barred from Bidding or
any other section. If there be forty
farmers in valley, each would prob
ably bid on the section adjoining his
