Heyburn Defends Public Land Laws and Forest Debate
Senator Heyburn criticized federal management of public lands in a Washington speech. He argued Congress would not loan $5,000,000 to the forestry bureau and cited Idaho county losses from forest reserve designation. He attacked the forest reserve system as vicious and noted land grabs by reserve advocates and eastern capital. He proposed moving land law administration to a special land court. Meanwhile Congress passed several measures including pension, lighthouse, and revenue cutter bills.
