Wisconsin Lands Grants for Railroads Debate Seeks Parity
The Argus and Democrat argues Wisconsin deserves a land grant for railroad construction equal to other states. It cites 1849 1850 1853 1862 acts granting rights of way and materials, totals several million acres, and urges Congress to grant Wisconsin about a third of Arkansas Illinois Missouri totals to develop resources and lower costs. It emphasizes Wisconsin’s contributions and seeks fair federal support.
