This is a proposition in which the state CANNOT lose be- cause it is a foregone conclusion that in any case the state will receive MORE direct revenue from this property than it is NOW getting. If a railroad can be secured in addition to the ONE THIRD royalty and other BONUSES that may be included in the bids for this lease by all means let us have the RAILROAD. It has been inferred that the state has been asked to donate this lease. This is an absolute DISTORTION of the facts. The state will receive all that it has been getting and MORE. Tt has also been'stated that the profits derived from this lease, no matter who may be awarded the prize, would build a RAIL- ROAD. Well and good.
