How they are going to bring about its establishment is a big question. Hie proposed park area is all under private ownership and is held at speculative prices on the chance of a second Gary Even being built at the head of Lake Mich'gan. at actual values it would cost about $2,500,000 to buy the 13,000 acres most desirable for park purposes. The scenic parks of the West were taken from the national forests and the public domain for by congress. To date there is no precedent the appropriation by congress of funds to purchase a national park area. Lafayette was presented to the government for national park purposes by the owners of the property. Congress has no national park policy. It dillymost with does as it dallies with national parks other things. It Is now generous with appropria- tions and again niggardly; for instance, it gave Yellowstone $334,000 and Yosemite $255,000 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 legiscongress the interior lation. In the Sixty-fourtto enlarge Yellowbill the supported department to to bill add the stone and Sequoia and change its name to Roosevelt. The agricultwal department, 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 latter in tlie 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? This question has been put squarely up to congress by two bills introduced at this session. One-callfor the appropriation of a million dollars or so for tlie purchase of Mammoth cave, Kentucky, and its environs for n national park. The other provides for the establishment of the Mississippi Valley National park on both sides of Hie Mississippi in southwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa. Here the two states own the land under the river, the federal government controls its navigation, pnrt of the proposed area is a Wisconsin state park, some of the land will he donated and the land to be purchased by the government has been appraised at a very moderate price. Can congress condemn private holdings for national park purposes? Nobody seems to know. Most lawyers would that the state of Indiana can consay demn the dunes for state park purposes. And presumably tlie state of Indiana could transfer the land to the federal government. Tlie national park service has been looking Into tlie question of condemnation. It is advised that tlie government can condemn private holdings Inside of national park boundaries in fnct, a bill is pending to condemn ICO 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 u nationnl park the national park service is yet undecided. Condemnation of the dunes has been advocated liy private Individuals and by tlie press. The creation of Lafayette National park has established tills precedent: Tlie federal govern-aien- t will accept .suitable land presented to It for nationnl park purposes.
