INDIAN LAND
CLAIMS M AY
COST FORTUNE

Madison. Wis, March 2O.-Claims
totalling many thousands Of dollars
may be filed against the state Of Wis
consin, as the result Of dispute over
the validity Of titles to land which
formerly was part Of Indian reserva-
lions. Land owners have already
made demands. upon the state for re.
endorsement in sums ranging from
few hundred dollars to more than
$4,000. Lumber companies are max
ing the heaviest demands.
Years ago the government made
school land grants to the state giving
the state eeach section 16. The state
construed the grant to include all
sections Is in Indian reservations and
later sold a large amount Of this heav-
lily timbered reservation land to lum-
Der companies.
The federal supreme court has de-
cided that the grant did not include
reservation land, and as result. the
title Of lumber companies to such
property has been attacked.
The main point at issue now Is
whether the state must refund to the
purchasers, the original purchase
price or price equivalent to the
present value of the property. The
owners are not asking for settle
meut on the original basis.
