Judge Wolverton Rules Against Great Corporation in Land Grant Case
In the Southern Pacific land grant dispute Judge Wolverton upheld the government's suit seeking返 restitution for land sold above grant terms. The case centers on 2,560,000 acres in western Oregon assigned to the railroad to sell settlers at 2.50 dollars per acre. If the higher sales prevail, the railroad would lose substantial value. The decision reinforces that large corporations are accountable under law and affects how purchasers and government interact in such grants.
