Public lands for veterans plan to divide across states
A letter to the President urges Congress to authorize a commission to apportion remaining public lands to loyal states based on soldiers supplied. States would issue bonds payable in 20 years with six percent interest, financed from the national treasury. The proposal notes 1,055,911,288 acres still in government possession and argues the plan would greatly reward soldiers.
