Doesn't Like Public Land Policy
By A. L. Lindbeek
Salem, Ore. June 19—The O re­
gon school fund com m ittee, com ­
posed of rep resen ta tiv e s of some
20 P ortland organizations in te re s ­
ted in education, is vigorously
opposing ihe recently announced
p rogram of the S tate Land board
fo r the ad m in istratio n of school
lands.
The com m ittee is p a rtic u la rly
opposed
to blocking of school
lands around
p riv ate holdings
Such a policy, its spokesm en claim
wkould enable the stockm en to
dictate the lease prices. They arc
also opposed to long leases on the
pound th a t im provem ent in range
conditions
now under w ay will
make these lands m ore valuable
and insure a la rg e r re tu rn to the
school fund in a fe-w years.
Instead the school fund com-
rritte e is su p p o rtin g a policy of
blocking the school lands in 16 to
2d larg e areas of from 25,000 to
200,000 acres each fo r lease to
associations of stockm en on a year
to y ear basis. Such a policy, th ey
in rist, would insure a revenue of
$60.000 to $80,000 a year to the
school fund in stear of the $10000
now b eing received from grazin g
leases or the $20,000 which the
land bo ard hopes to g e t un d er its
