Holman Stresses Report Objection State Treasurer Rufus C. Hol- man's reaction to the recent rec ommendations of the "committee- or nine," relative to blocking state grazing lands for leasing to livestock raisers, will be stressed in a statement to be nl&ced be fore the state ; land board at its next meeting, ; ! Holman saldL he would oppose the recommendation of the com mlttee that the grazing lands be leased on a basis of from two to three cents an iacre. "If the state voluntarily can obtain from four to five cents an acre for these: grazing lands it looks to me as though comnatftive bidding would Increase the rental to seven or eight cents," Holman said today. The proposal to block these state lands, through exchange for tracts owned ibv the federal rnr. ernment, originally was made by Holman. Holman said the state of TdAhn was receiving 10 cerits per acre rental tor grazing lands inferior to those In Oregon.
