Land Sales Policy Sparks Political Criticism in Washington
Washington state land commissioner faces outcry from his party over selling irrigation lands near Brewster in Okanogan county for 10 dollars an acre. Critics say it devalues college funds, while supporters argue bidding and irrigation costs justify pricing. The piece also notes timber sale practices and a county auditor's denial of ties to a local paper, ending with a swipe at the state Republican convention and Taft.
