poned. Six sections advertised in
Winkier and Andrews counties will
be sold.
Robson stated he had told Gov
ernor Moody he would postpone the
sale Of all land for which he had rot
received requests without estimating
the number OF sections affected.
Governor Moody understood that
Robson had agreed to postpone the
sale of all land except 20 sections,
or 1880 acres.
Robson quoted an opinion Of the
supreme court in the Theisen manda-
mus case, in which it was said "The
land commissioner is mandatorily re-
CURED to sell oil and gas in any uni
versity land upon receipt Of a re-
quest TO place same on sale"
The Theisen case had attacked the
constitutionality Of the act OF 1895.
which the 4lst legislature will be
asked to repeal or amend.
The university regents resolution
questioned Robison's method of ad-
vertising the lease sales, declaring
that the means he used tended to
prevent lease sales at the highest
prices obtainable, and that the time
between the issuance of the printed
advertisements recently and the sale
ds:e was $50 short that no persons
would be inclined to submit bids, ex-
cept those who may have requested
the commissioner to sell any Of the
tracts 70 be sold on said date"
