E. Culkin Upholds the Presentl"l‘imber and Stone Law. . WOULD BE BLOW. TO NORTHERN MINNESOTA. Says :Action ‘Should ‘Be Taken at Once to Preventilts Destruction.! William E. Culkin, the retiring register of the Duluthland office, is much interested 'in the at- tempts now being made to have congress repeal the timber and stone:law. Mr, Culkin is against the propesed repeal and believes | action should be taken at once by /| the people of this part of the |country to checkany such at- tempt. Mr. Culkin has been for eight and a half years in a posi- tion to observe the operation of this law closely and as he is gen- erally admitted to be an authority on land™ matters, the following statement made by him will doubtless bear weight: “Steps should be taken by the people of Northern Minnesota to impress on the minds of their representatives in both houses of congress the fact that the repeal of the timber and stone lawis not, desired by the people of this sec- tion, It is one of the most meri-. torious land laws on the statute books and its repeal, if it occurs, willbe a blow to. the develop- ment of this part of the state, “Itis essentially a poor man’s law and gives the northern pioneer a chance to get onin the world, being one small ;recom- pense to him for his work in de- veloping a new coontry. Any one who investigates the matter will find that the law is being taken advantage ‘of, not by the dishonest, but in fact by tbe best class of our peeple. Farmers, mechanics, business. men, edi- tors, bankers, clergymen and people of other worthy callings invest their savings in land un- der this law and at once begin to pay taxes on the land they buy. It is true that there has been fraud under this law, but that is true of every other law that I ever heard of. The fact remains, however, that as the timber and and stone law is now adminis- tered, fraud has been almost|} “Wash I abrics entirely eliminated. Such fraud as may be found is merely sporadic, not general. Fraud arises not from bad laws, but from lax or corrupt administra- tion. “No one, as yet, has advanced even a plausible reason why this benificent statute should be re- pealed. One idea advanced is that the lands should be reserved for homesteaders. But some of our land is of such a character that it is not taken as homesteads. Our best lands are now home- steaded. - “Why segregate 1,000,000 or more acres of government land to be added to the gloomy un- productive wastes now - held by the state? Why not get these lands on the tax rolls to aid in upbuilding thenorthern counties? +‘It is true that speculators in ‘scrip would benefit by the repeal. Certainly these speculators who usually get something for noth- ing from the government are not its favorites, At the same time they are the only ones who would reap a profit from the repeal. It would be a wrong to the people and to the towns, villages, school ‘ldistricts. and the counties of this northern country, the very interests which the proposed repeal is mistakenly supposed to serve.” R. H. Muncy left last night for a cruising trip in the vicinity of Northome for the Crookston Lumber company. : [SETTLERS WIN THE BENA CASE Commissioner of General Land Office Turns Down ‘Religious Folk.
