Show Thp alleged fight that the Union Pacific Pa-cific was to make against he Issuance of patent to oil lands In Wyoming Booms not to have been contemplated It Is not easy I In fact to see how tlcr could be much a fight in the mat1 1 tel If the patent for any tract of land has been issued to the railroad company l com-pany the title cannot be challenged and the oilborers would have to deal with tho Union Pacific company If I on the other hand the patent has not issued it can be prevented for the land would be subject to claim as mln I ernl land So that while the railroad company avoids taxation on the land I within its grant or selections by rc fusingto take out patents there maybe I may-be even greater losses than the taxation would amount to If the patents had been taken out In this way matters are evened up and the public is not altogether the loser |
