For Ex-Doughboys, Congressman Hernandez

the move on the part of the west to
ask congress to set aside OF cede all
the federal lands owned by the gov
eminent which are nappropriated
and unreseryed, to the respective
states as a basis for a permanent. ade-
quate fund to be divided, like Gaul,
into three parts; first, for reclamation
and soldier settlement work; second,
for public highway construction and
maintenance; third, for education and
educational institutions. +,

west to do Its duty toward the REL
turned soldiers by reclaiming 10000,
900 acres OF lands in the arid regions,
easily supporting from horticultural
and agricultural work alone an addi-
tional population OF 5000, 600 people,
This would approximately double the
taxable capacity Of this region which
is west of the Tooth meridian running
through the Dakotas, Kansas, Okla

The state land commissioner re-
ceived adverse decisions in the ac-
lions brought before the department
of the interior and then finally took
an appeal to the supreme court of the
District of Columbia which held in
favor Of the land commissioner. Then
the department Of the Interior APP
