IT has been said that the English Par
lament never passed a Law but that a
.coaeh, and four could be driven through
it, and the Montana state board of land
commissioners follows suit, on an even
broader gauge. One of the regulations
decided upon at its meeting last May
was to the effect that not more than one
.~gection of land should be leased to one
PERSON, and this regulation has recently
been construed so as to allow each mem
Der of a family to lease the full amount.
The possibilities under this construction
are obvious and there is now no obstacle
IN the way of those who desire to control
a ~princely domain, to the detriment OF
actual settlers. The leasing of the state
lands is proper enough if conducted I'M
der a system which would prevent land
grabbers from securing control of large
q
areas, but the fact should not be over
looked that every lease runs for a term
of years, SO that the immense areas al
ready leased are placed under private
control throughout that term with pros
poets of renewal unless the present rules
are changed.
It looks, as if the democratic state land
commissioners, although elected on a
platform opposed to Expansion" as ap-
piled t O national ~offairs, are decidedly in
favor of it where the interests of the big
cattle and sheep compaies are concerned.
