right to make the change without the approval of congress is enough
II follows, as a matter of course, that If the people should vote to
substitute three appontiye commissioners for one commissioner who
they now have the right to choose themselves, our representatives in

How would our Representatives put this proposition up to con

There has been criticism of the administration of the

PUTTING 1T UP TO CONGRESS

No Z 10 be voted on September 20 is whether we shall change the
y administration of our state lands from the direction of one com-
missioner, elected by the people every two years, to a commission OF
three TO be appointed by the governor

when il approved that office a $ an elective office, in approving the
state constitution, including the enabling act which carried the grant
~ more than half 81 the lands the state now owns through congress
siopal grant. The Elective land commissioner and the ofhee rs II now
exists became part o. The contract for the administration OF the lands
betueen the state aud the national government
n is a large and pertinent question whether the office OF the
sleet;ye Land commissioner can be abolished and an appointise coin

there are dozens Of other objections this open question as TO our
