At that time it is expected that stockmen interested in the program as well as others will air their views on the three plans now before the board. One of these plans provide for the administration of the state’s scattered holdings by the federal bureau of Grazing, the state to re ceive its pro rata share of rentals paid by the stockmen for use of the public domain. The other two 1 plans involve the “blocking’* of the ; state school lands into large, com pact bodies through exchange for federal lands. This proposal was first advanced by State Treasurer Holman nearly 18 months ago but to date has reached only the com mittee and report stage. One of the - “blocking” plans, submitted by a committee of nine stockmen, calls for the creation of “blocking” around the private hold ings of stockmen, these blocks to be of a size to meet the needs of the stockmen in each case. Rentals on these blocks would be fixed at from two to three c e n ta a n a c r e per year, dependent upon the qual ity of the land and location. The other “blocking*’ plan, submitted by R. N. Stanfield, one o f the largest stockmen in the state, pro vides for the creation of from 16 to 20 compact areas ranging in size from 1500 to more than 70,000 acres selected for the desirability of the land for grazing purposes and scattered over the seven graz ing counties but without any par ticular regard to accessibility of any of the stockmen. Holman, at whose request Stan field developed his plan, is favor able to this latter program as promoting competitive bidding to the enrichment of the irreducible school fund. Governor Martin, however, scents a “nigger in the wood pile” in the plan submitted by Stanfield and is fearful that it might work to the advantage of the large stockmen. The governor favors the committee plan which is opposed by Holman as discourag- ing competition in the bidding and not adequately safeguarding the interests of the school fund. Sec retary of State. Snell, the third member of the board, has indicated that he will support the “blocking” plan that promises to yield the largest return to the school fund, providing it does not work a hard ship on the small stockmen. • * * - Governor Martin is taking time out from his strenuous duties as the state’s chief executive until after Labor Day. While he will be in and out of his office attending to his routine duties he will take on no definite engagements. The governor and fMlrs. Martin are spending a few days this week with their daughter and grandchil dren at Bremerton, Washington and will attend the review of troops at Fort Lewis on Saturday. n • -a Negotiations for the purchase of property on which the new state library building will be located are proceeding satisfactorily according to Ralph E. Moody, legal adviser to the Capitol Reconstruction Com mission, who expects the deal for the entire block to be completed by September 1. • • • More than five tons of paint are being used in freshening up the buildings at the state fair grounds.
