hearing scheduled for Monday,
September f3. 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.
