Senator Davis flags fraud in Rosebud land sale bill
Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas warned of fraudulent purpose in the senate debate over selling una llotted Rosebud Indian Reservation lands in South Dakota. He cited sections paying for land for schools and claimed arid land and a hidden motive backed by a powerful force, estimating a $250000 price tag and treasury risk. Senator Crawford defended the Payne tariff, while Boutell argued its benefits and President Taft’s leadership. The issue sparked sharp repartee as lawmakers debated privilege, prosperity, and party loyalty. George W Wilder criticized the post office system and rate structure for newspapers and magazines. The House considered seven and a half hours of debate on the agricultural appropriations bill.
