School lands dispute splits voters in Indian Territory
The state legislature debates selling 20 million dollars worth of school lands and redirects lessee influence. Bills favoring lessees would transfer land in fee simple after three years or keep title with the state, while a non-maturing 4 percent note plan risks taxation. The lessees, about 10000 people, may swing 40,000 votes, affecting Democratic and Republican power balances.
