Acting State Treasurer W B Wortham questions a 1 000 000 acre land class tied to railroads and school lands. He refused a 75 000 tender from buyers for lands including alternate school and railroad sections. Lawmakers had backed railroad surveys for school lands. Wortham would not treat them as fifty cent lands. The case tests whether surveys remain valid and whether lands may be sold in bulk versus divided.
