Prater Faces Ultimatum Over Land Office Conduct
State Auditor served Land Commissioner W J Prater with an ultimatum to show radical improvement or face removal at the next meeting of the university and school lands board. Complaints from county auditors cited inability to obtain access to the land commissioner's books and alleged neglect of duty. The action follows a report from State Treasurer Olson that the books were in poor condition and that Prater had been distracted by political errands rather than duties.
