Byrne Formerly Register of Land Office Recites Case Wherein He Says Homestead- ers Lost as Much as $100 Each Through Failure of Land Of- fice to Act Promptly. YOUNG HAS RESOLUTION Declaring that homesteaders have been cheated out of large sums of money through the negligence of the general land office at Washington, D. C;, P. BE. Byrne, formerly register of the Bismarck land office, declared y he will push the charges he made against Qlay Tallman, com- missioner of the general land ‘office. The new secretary of the interior, Albert Fall, will be asked to take up the case. The situation is the out- growth of a decision ly the supreme court of the United Sta By this decision in April 1919, in the case of Robert A, Laughlin it vas held that Jang in odd-numbered ctions within the limits of a rail- road land grant should be priced at 5 per. acre. In view of that de- sion, all those entrymen, who made entries, in od@,. numpered sections within’ railroad land ‘grants and who were required to pay $2-50 an acre would be entitled to a refund of $1.25 per acre, Mr. Byrne says. The decision effected entrymen in North Dakota who filed in odd-num- bered géctions within the railroad ; they used the records of the general land office to ertain the names and addresses uf the ent rymen | effected, and immediately commenc-' ed a campaign to line their own poc' ets at {he expense of the settlers,”; ays Mr, Byrne, “They flooded the uinty with circulars offering to | collect’ the refund dye the settler on Thot is, they offered, to collect say! the, $200,00 due the settler from the government for the mpdest charge of; $100.00. | “In many cases the settler fell for the hold-up because he had no knowl-: edge of the decision in question, no steps being taken by the general land office to notify the settlers who had over-paid ‘that they were qntlet to a refund. wt “Even the local land office did not receive any potice of the decision un- til December. 1919, eight months afters it was rendered by the U. S. supreme court; and the word then sent to the local and office by the. general land office merely mentioned that in fu- ture in such cases. $1.25 per acre should be collected, instead of $2.50— nothing whatever being hinted at an refund due those entrymen who paid the? $2.50 in the past.” /NotiZies Department. The activities of the collection law- yers were called to the officials of the general land office in December | 1919 by Mr Byrne, then register of the Bismarck land office, and a rath- er warm exchange of letters followed. ; Byrne charged the commissioner of the general land office with “sleeping | on the job,” and, permitting the set- a contingent fee basis of 50 percent.) { ‘People of .the state Would Save Millions From Meth-. ods Now Used on Roads, | | They Say.
