Public Lands and War Veterans Bounty Proposal
In a House report, Mr Pottar of Wisconsin backs grants of Public Lands to Actual Settlers and offers $4 bounty to Union soldiers in place of land grants. The plan aims to prevent land warrant monopolies and boost national agriculture and settlement while urging swift passage and discouraging speculative speculation. A counter claim from the Washington Star notes Gen Vellelian’s resignation if Cameron's report were altered.
