two Dskotas 10 securing special attention
Just now. The consti .ution and the ena-
bling act provide that no land is to bs
sold for less than $40 per acre, but there
are those who argue that the state should
not sell the lands at any price. They say
that the lands will never be worth less
than tnsy are to-day and the state might a.
we'll get the benefit Of the future rise in
value az individuals. 1t will not be long
also before $25 per acre will be considered
o low price for land in the two Dakotas.
II would certainly, then, be WISE il the
lands were leased instead Of sold. The
raptel II Ill cases would be at least equal
to the Interest which would come from the
invested proceeds from the sale Of the
land. Should all the lands be held for
tbs next Fifty years, the chances are that
the school fund would be many times as
large as it will be in case the lands are sold
At the values which now obtain.
