in order to open up and make produc-
tive that area, Senator Gore is not in
favor of the state purchasing the min
eral rights Of this segregation.
The plan for the state to purchase
contemplated turning the coal lands
into the school fund. The senator
fears that this would bankrupt the
state school fund He believes that
the state should control sore small
tracts Of coal land, in oroer to have
some control over prices OF coal, but
he believes the entire segregation is

BY the state. He thinks the state
should contract as few obligations
as possible during the first few years
Of its existence, in order to keep taxes
down. He believes this should apply
