So Indiana; Illlnola and Michigan want ft park, and they have picked out the dunea as the right place for .lt ..'How. they are going to bring about It eatabllah-me- at la a big question. The proposed park area la all under private ownership and la betd at apec ulatlve prices on the chance of ft second Gary peing built at the head of Lake Mlch'gan. JEveo at actual values It would coat about $2,500,000 to buy the 13,000 acres most desirable for park purposes. The scenic, parka of the West were taken from the national forests and the public domain by congress. To date there Is no precedent for the appropriation by congress of funds to purchase a national park area. Lafayette wai presented to the government for national park purposes by the owners of the property. . Congress has no national park policy. It dillydallies with national parks as It does wltJs most other things. It Is now generous with appropriations and again niggardly; for Instance, it gave Yellowstone 9334,000 and Yosemlte 1255,000 in 1919 and kept Rocky Mountain, with twice as many visitors as both parks, down to $10,000. Politics enters largely Into all national park legislation. - In the Sixty-fourt- h congress the Interior department supported the bill to enlarge lellow-ston- e and the bill to add' to Sequoia and change Its. name. to. BooseveJt.LThe agricultural depart-- ; ment, because the proposed additions would be taken from national forests, and therefore from Its control, opposed both bills, beating the former In the senate and the Utter In the house. So there .Is no telling what congress will or will not do In the matter of national park legislation,- Can congress be Induced to appropriate money for the purchase of private holdings for national park purposes T This question haa been put squarely op to con- gross by two bills Introduced at this session. On calls for the appropriation of ft million dollars or so for the purchase of Mammoth cave, 'Kentucky, and Its environs for national park." 3Tho other . provides for the establishment of the Mississippi "' Valley National park on both sides of the Mississippi In southwestern Wisconsin and northeastern , Iowa.

Most Iswyers would that the state of Indiana can con- - " " say deinn the dunes for state park purposes. ,And , the state of Indiana could transfer the ' presumably land to the federal government. The national park service haa been looking into the question of condemnation. It Is advised that the government can condemn private holdings lnnlde of national park boundaries in fact, a bill Is pending to condemn 180 acres In General Grant National park which the owner will not sell for a reasonable price. As" to the condemnation of patented land outside of a national park the national park service Is yet undecided. Condemnation of the dune has been., advocated by private individuals and,by the press.
