10 the Editor Of the Express
II is evident that there is to be
a determined effort this winter to en-
act some law that necessitates the
sale Of school lands But it strikes
me that before we sell all the school
land we should consider what is to be
done with the money; and likewise
hearken 70 the experience Of some 20
other states Of the middle west con-
corning its advisability.
II Is true that probably Just at
present the fund could be profitabiy
invested But Il IS a well known fact
that interest rates continually grow
lower as the country becomes more de-
yeloped, and that at the same time
rents constantly 90 higher. Already
the school lands commissioner Of
South Dakota announces in that
states annual report that the per-
manent school fund Of that state Is
drawing hardly three per cent. While
II you reckon acre for acre Of sold
