eclipsed the previous high record for

The indications are that there will
be Q number of notable sales Of state
lands during the present year. A dis.
patch from Helena says that appli.
cations for the purchase of 14S, $50
acres have been made since the last
sale. and that this aggregate will be
increased materially before the end of

from thirty.one of the states thirty.

In times past some Of the men high
in the service Of. the state have argued
against the sale Of state lands. They
contended that these lands r. meant

should be kept intact forever. only the
income derived from their GENITAL to be

belonged. Long since the theory has
been abandoned, for the most part.
Communities in which are located
large tracts OF state lands we're the
first to protest against such . policy.

STATE LANDS IN DEMAND.

For many years 1t was the policy of
the state board OF land commissioners
to sell no state! lsnds.E Lands were
leased. where possible, and the rev.
enue from the school lands was tur ned
In to the income stund,l which 10 ap-
portioned eachl year for the use of
public schools. In some respects this
policy was madel necessary, for the
very simple reasonIthat state lands,
with now and then q rare exception,
could not be sold. Tie constitution
prohibited the sale OF school or grant
lands at less than SLOAN acre, and in
those days thejNorthern Pacific Trail.
road company sold many sections at
e1.25 On acre.
Times have changed. State lands
now have an average value, out OF the
mountains, gilmore than go an acre.
With the demand for lands the state
board OF land commissioners changed
Ito policy. It began to sell tracts,
the money 90 derived going into the
permanent school fund, no part OF
which may be disturbed. Last year
oil records in respect to the number
OF acres sold at the prices obtained
for the tracts disposed of we're broken
by the state land department. Notable
ISLES were held In Fergus, Choutesn
and Dawson counties. Before that an
sale bad been made in Gal.

WEDNESDAY, MAY II. 1918.
e STANDS PAT.

The Montana citizens who wired .
request to Senator Myers that he
"stsnd pat" for tariff duties on sugar
aud wool, two important Montana pro.
ducts, did not receive very courteous
treatment. The request was In the ma
ture of . personal communication, but
theMontsns senator made It . matter
of public record by reading II In the
Gen ate, together with . somewhat
csustic reply in which be announced
his purpose to stand pat against what
these Montana men desired.
The request came from Presidents Of
eastern Montana, who had been up.
prised, by newspaper reports, Of Sena-
tor Myers sttitudeitoward the Under
wood bill. From theselsources IL was
learned that the Montana senator
favors . program Of tariff legislation
that will benefit the owners of Texas
goats, and they assumed that similar
benefit TO ownsrsl Of Montana sheep
would not DO denied by q senstor from
this state. II also appeared that the
Underwood bill, BY importing . duty
on imports Of foreign rice, proposes
incidental protection to rice growers
in South Carolina and other states,
and the Montana petitioners reasoned
that similar benefit to Montana pro-.
ducers Of sugar could not be consist.
emily refused.
This view ofthe matter, |oflcourse, did
not recognize the Underwood bill o.
IN honest effort to secure the greatest
good to the greatest number. The
Montana petitioners had figured It
out that their products would be sold
10 the markets on q free trade basis,
while many Of the :products they are
compelled to buy would be protected
against neutrality-suspicious.. If the
greatest good to the greatest number
formed the bssis,,for the Underwood
bill rates of duty, these Montana men
we're unable to understand why the
comparatively few engaged in certain
lines of manufacture should be favor.
Cd at the expense of the larger mum.
Der engaged In the production of So
called raw materials. Aproposed duty
OF about 30. perecent on clothing, for
instance, did not a~ppeallto them as a
proposition suggested by q sincere
desire to benefit the general COM
munity.
This controversyhbetween Senator
Myers and some OF hissMontsna con.
stituents recalls similar differences of
opinion regarding Otarif changes on
former occssions. q Each industry
seeks advsntsRes2for itself. and the
q with the strongest pull gets away
With the goods. In the:Underwood bill
the products Of Montsnslfarns-graiu,
meats. vegetables. fruits and other
commodities-sppear to receive scsnt
consideration, compared with the
treatment accorded the products OF
other localities. Senator Myers ap.
pears to favor thiseprogram Of tariff
l%egislation and may bel able to give
good reasons for THAT position. But
the petition presented BY some Of his
Montana constituents, asking that
Montana products be given % good
treatment IS the products of other
states, appears to bel q reasonable
reoueet.
