GENERAL LAWS. 45.
hereafter be provided by law for the sale of other forfeited public
free school lands. One-sixteenth of the oil and gas, and all of
other minerals in the lands included herein, whether known or
unknown, are expressly reserved to the public free school fund
in the event the forfeited sale was with mineral reservation.
Forfeited land, on which the owner requests a revaluation as
herein provided, shall not be subject to oil and gas application
until such forfeiting owner fails to repurchase as herein provided..
Section 4. Whenever any land affected by this Act is repurchased
under the rights of repurchase given herein, any lien,
legal or equitable, in behalf of any person or the State, and any
valid contractual right in favor of any person or persons existing
in and to said land, or any part thereof, at the time of forfeiture,
shall remain unimpaired and in full force and effect as
if no such forfeiture had occurred; also all forfeitures without
advertisement of the land for which land the owner or owners
of part thereof requested a revaluation within the time prescribed
herein and for which applications to repurchase were
filed in the General Land Office in legal form after expiration
of the time required by law and on which the first one-fortieth
cash payment was made, such forfeitures and applications and
and the sale and award thereon are hereby authorized and in all
things validated and shall not be questioned by the State or any
person whose rights did not accrue prior to the taking effect of
this Act.
Section. 5 The fact that several consecutive years drought in
that portion of the State in which most of the public lands are
located caused the original enactment of this law and the fact
that the validity of forfeitures without first advertising the land
as being subject to forfeiture, and naming the date of forfeiture
and sale as provided in Chapter 130 of an Act approved March
28, 1925, has been questioned and the fact that this original
Chapter 94 could not have been executed without great expense
to the State, except in the manner it has been administered by
the General Land Office, which has attained the purpose of the
Legislature in its enactment, and the importance of placing land
titles beyond question, creates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity exists, that the constitutional rule requiring
bills to be read on three separate days in each house be suspended
and that this be placed upon third reading and final passage,
and take effect from and after its passage and it is so enacted.
[NOTE.-The enrolled bill shows the foregoing Act passed the
Senate, 22 yeas, 0 nays; passed the House by vote of viva voce.j
Approved October 27, 1926.
Effective 90 days after adjournment.
