BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
The State Land Evil.

In another column is an account of
the states Intention to relinquish it's
reservation school lands. The state
land board are not a unit upon the
question.
This issue has been Joined on the land
policy of the present administration be-
tween w. w. Welch, superintendent of
public instruction, and James Donovan,
the attorney general. with Governor
Tooe and Secretary of State Hay as
listeners TO the arguments which they
advance. ready to make up their minds
before the four of them meet again
next Monday as the board of state land
commissioners.
Mr.. Donovan is the advocate of he
policy of small holdings, with the idea
of bringing more settlers into the state
and more densely settling it's sparsely
peopled plains and valleys. He has been
listening to the voice of those who say
that the policy of leasing land in large
tracts is keeping out settlers. and is OPP
posed to any further selection by the
state.
On the other hand, Mr.. Welch favors
policy of leasing. as hitherto pursued.
because it has increased the revenue
which contributes largely to the sup
port of the schools which are in his
charge.
On this side of the case it is contended
that the cutlery about the state leasing
policy being an obstacle to settlement
is absurd and comes from men who
have not COW. nor even a goose,
to eat the grass; or else it comes
from those who object to paying
for grazing land and wish to see as
much open range left for them as posi-
BILE. Mr.. Welch says Zone man has
asked me to select tract of 900 acres
in the Milk river valley and offered to
lease it at $50 a section and put a ditch
clear around it. Some man has protested
against this, but l do not think he has
COW to put on the land. BY relinquish-
ing the school sections in the reserva-
! tions and selecting more grazing land,
we can increase the school revenue Of
the state $4,000 a year.
There are a few thousand people in
Choteau county who most emphatic
ally disagree with Mr.. WEIGH. They do
not favor leasing lands which are capa-
BILE Of being titled. Leasing purely graz
ing lands is not so detrimental, but the
policy of the state in selecting and
| leasing all the choicest public lands is
| one that ought to be condemned by
| every mann interested in the develop
| ment and settlement of Montana. 1t is
| an impeachment to settlement that it is
worth several times $4,000 to have re-
moved.
Mr.. WEIGH has but one idea in this
matter that is to get more money for
the schools. Mr.. Welch should not wor-
~ over that. Experience has shown
that the people of this state will take
| care of their schools. No people in the
world are more generous in this regard
Hence our worthy state superintendent
| should have no fears.
| 1t is to be hoped that Gov. Toole and
| secretary of state Hay will take Mr.
| Donovans view of the matter, and de.
| eide to not relinquish the lands.-Milk

his voice. Last year it was abominable.
and there is no reason to believe it will
be any better this season.
Then, with redoubled pathos, Mr..
Gordon continued: Why. my life guards

ers from the ocean, three of whom had
paid nothing for their suits and had
simply walked from their inland houses

Mr.. Gordon asked:
"'What could 1 do?'

cold blooded councilman.
This suggestion did not seem to en-
tirely suit Mr.. Gordon. 1t did not seem
to be effective enough, for he replied:
Eyes, but they don't all drown. My
business will be ruined If some hing is
not done to stop the practice. At other
places policeman taps these bathing
quietly subside'
This raised an important point. Could
this way be adopted with effect at Bel
mar? The police force consists of two
members the captain and the other one.
Both could not be on duty at the same
time, and police force of one might
be easily evaded. Therefore this meas
ure was set aside as ineffective, and
shoulder tapping will not be in vogue at
Belmar.
THE discussion was then renewed.
Mr.. Gordon demanded the passage forth
with of an ordinance forbiding any per-
son to walk anywhere in Belmar except
on the beach while clothed In bathing
suit. Mayor Jackson, who also owns a
large bathing ground, strongly favored
such measure. Others opposed 1t on
the ground that the cottagers would re-
bel and the police force might get itself
damaged.

the matter went over until the next
