Especial to the Appeal ]


WASHINGTON, Feb, 11.-Senator
Pittman's bill granting 100000 acres
to Nevada for the benefit OF the pub
lie schools and the university, passed
the senate Tuesday after bitter IN.
tcrmittant fight of several days. The
debate became general and involved
the whole subject of western land leg
islation.
Senator Smoot of Utah was most
persistent in his opposition, contend.
ing that the grant was too large, the
minimum price too small, the condi-
tons of the bill too liberal and that
Nevada was being more generously
treated than the other states
Senator Poindexter urged an
amendment cutting the grant down to
3mO,OO0. His amendment was lost.
lie then offered an amendment reduc-
ing the grant to 100000, which was
also lost.
Senator La Toilette urged most in
tensely his amendment to prohibit the
sa c by the state of any Of its land for
twenty-five years. This amendment
was lost after an impassioned attack
by Senator Pittman and convincing
argument by Senator Newlands. SEN
ator La Toilette then offered al

amendment fixing the minimurn
price at So per acre.
Senator Pittman answered this by
calling attention to a provision for
appraisement by state board and
urged that the people of the state
knew more of the status of the land
than the senator from Wisconsin or
Utah and that no one dare question
their integrity. The amendnpnt was
lost.
The sincerity of Senator Smoot
was attacked by Senator Pittman by
reading a bill introduced by the sen
ator from Utah granting land 20
Utah, which contained all the provI-
sions of the Pittman bill to which
Senator Smoot objected without con-
tanning any safeguards.
