Ttioso
Congressman Weaver of th'w stale h :
introdncfd a bill which proiidos tin
when tin' land grant roads lmv < survcyc
and located ( heir lands Uipy = .hall I
gi\on thipp yonrsin which to dispose <
them , at HIP end of which time the lain
are to be subjei t to homestead and pn
( million entry. Mr. Weavers mcasui
is not a practical one , and \\ill fail i
producing anj'icliof , If H Is intended I
do r.'j. Until the land grant roadai
forced to survey and locate their lmmen <
domain , any legislation in rcgnid toil
tiilure disposition is mere nonsense. Tl
lax shiiking corporation * arc much moi
eoncpincd at the cllbits which are no
being : ' . ' ! to compel them to tr.k" 01
patents on their liuul 'Ji'iual any threat
of compulsory disposition of their 10 ;
cMale after it pns cs into their own nnnii
Thny aio bulwarked behiml their chtirtf
and Ihe decision of the supreme court . *
eU'ectually that no Icgishilinn of eougron
can force them In p.nl with their proi
erly so long as their land grant mortgag
holds.
The original grant lot IIP Union amlCei
tral 1'ueille roads provided that all laml
icmainingiindi-poed of afler li\e yeai
from tlio date of the completion of thread
road should be thrown open to pre-eui ]
lion and homestead entry , und that th
inocccds should be placed to thu eiedit r
tin1 companies a.s a partial olV-ol of thei
debt In the government. The Union an
Central 1'acillernads made their junclio
at I'l'iiinniitory on the 10th day of Miy
ISiili , hut by ( lie methods pursued by th
Credit Mohilier , the line wis : not ollicia
ly declared as finished until IS7 Seen
fary Schnr/ year later , Issued the orde
in the Diidjniat claim ca > which recog
ni/cd the fact that the railroad lands wpr
subject to public entry. Thereupon th
Union I'acilio hatched up the famou 151
1'latt lo l case which was a jug h.indlc
iillair , in which the liiwjcra on both side
were serving the same masters Jndg
Dundy , who ought to have known tha
this was a put tip job , rushed the cas
through his court with a decision in favo
of tlie raihoad. The uiso was pnshcj
through the supreme court at Washing
ton with the- same haste. EvAltorne ,
tJenerjil Devins , who appeared for til
governinant , was notoriously an old law
ycr ot t he I\Ios \ = ns Ames who were connect
ed \\ilh the Union I'aeilie from the Crcdi
lobllicr era , and Ids xeal tor the puoph
was tempered by his anxiety not to a flee
the interests of his former clients. H
this decision as given the lands , whic !
Iia'd been nicanwliilc bonded to rail
moie funds to go into the eolVois ol th
Credit IMobilier swindlers , were dee ! iroi
not furfeiteil because they had been "dis
piiM'd of" bj- reason of having bee :
mortgaged by the railroad company. A
far back as 187:5 : a bill was introduced i ;
congress by Judge Crounse to compel threads
roads to pay taxes , and this bill , undorsci
in a slate convention , became part of tin
republican platform. That was tlie l.is
state convention that the railroad bosso
in Nebraska didn't control. Since tha
time bills have been introduced ever ,
two years and defeated either in on
hon o or the other through 1hi
machinations of the railroad lobby am
corporation hirelings in congress. Kil
teen years have now elapsed since th
completion of tlie road. Ten yearhavi
passed since tlie laud grants should hav
reverted to the public domain. Thcgrca
corporations with this vast landed .snbsid ;
have succeeded in slaving oA' all taxi-
on its land grants by taking ndvantiigi
of a technical clause , which makes th
N&nc of patents to tlie road depondon
upon a previous survey of the lands a
the iixptsnso of the railroad company
The great ta\ shirkers decline to deposi
the money for the surveys , and thus tin
hinds remain untaxcd until after the ;
hac passed into Iho hands ol now owner-
The remedy is to be found in legiala
lion which will force Iho land-grant road
to take out patents on their immense do
main. That clone they become at one
subject to ' .ho state and loea
luxation. For fifteen years our pco
plo have paid exorbitant tolls t < thcsi
giant monopolies und in addition havi
borne the enlire bunion of taxation whih
the corporation managers have reaped al
Mm benelils of tlio law and prntcclliin fo
which the tax-payers have been assessed
The bill introduced by Senator Van Wye !
ind similar bills introduced in the hoiiso
l > rnvido for an immediate survey of tin
lands sit the risk of forfeiture. Mr. Wca
rer'sbill provides for their disposal with
in three years after the companies gc
; eady to have their lands surveyed. Thi
meets no wants and affords no remedy
Under Iho supreme court rullnjr the land
