HISTORY FULL OF WARNING.
The history of the school lands in
the states 20 which they have been
granted is full OF warning. CHlifor-
MIA for example has little to show for
the vast area granted 70 It, the value
OF which IL carefully administered,
would have supported the schools OF
the state forever. A short period of
poor business administration In any
state has been sufficient to defraud
Its school children OF some of their
rights for all time. on the other
hand, some states. like Colorado, have
not squandered their school lands but
have administered them so as to carry
out the purpose for which the govern
ment made these gifts. But all the
states which have school lands within
the national forests would be benefited
by the proposed legislation.
STEADY INCOME ASSURED.
Under either of the proposed plans
the states would be given more than
they could possibly obtain under pres
emit conditions. The possibility OF long
and expensive litigation would be
avoided and the states would be as
sured steady income for the use
of schools and other public purposes.
by the first plan the state would re-
ceive Mt once what It might otherwise
wait years for, and what II light pos
sibIy never receive. And 1t would
get the land all in one body. Under
the second plan the income would be
perpetual and stsady. Those who de-
sire TO use the state lands for these
purposes will welcome the opportunity
TO receive this income. 1t is believed
that no better investment could be
made, Rapid and wasteful explotta-
ton of the state lands by private in
terests for their own benefit win not
be possible. Tho immense tracts OF
lands embraced in the national forest
will grow more timber each year as
improved methods OF handling them
are applied and the value of the TIM
Der and other products of the forest is
constantly increasing.
