ton OF officers. In addition to
those who had previously been nom

governors the names Of Herman

LAND BOARDS ATTITUDE
HAS BEEN MISC CONSTRUED

Boise, Idaho, April S.-From va
rious press reports emanating from
certain quarters Of the state, osten-
sibly designed to serve political pur-
poses and in certain respects to
place the land board in false light
before the people, it is made to ap-
pear that the land board is Juggling
with the live stock industry in this
state in the matter of the adoption
of rules governing the leasing of its
lands for grazing and agricultural
purposes.
The greatest interest and the
grossest misconception OF the boards
attitude and intent in the matter has
to do with the two-mile limit law.
when as q matter of fact, this ques-
tion was never considered or dis
cussed by the board, except at
meeting on March 20, at which the
sheep and stock men and farmers
were represented and at whose in
stance the matter was brought in
for discussion.
The attitude of the board on this
question, is and has been that the
two-mile limit law is upon our stat
ute books. and that all persons con-
cerned may have such protection as
is provided. and be it meTitorious or
otherwise. 1t Is not the prerogatiye
Of the board TO add to or take from
the same.
The policy OF the land board In
the leasing of state lands is to take
care Of the bona fide residents of tn,

the United States. and to foster th'
livestock industry and eneourag
