Ross for land commissioner on record and reforming tenure
E. W. Ross, candidate for re election as Commissioner of Public Lands, runs a campaignless bid while touting a reform program that modernized leasing, halted timber pilferage, and boosted school land value. He defends a tenure system aligned to fair rents and public auction of timber plus land sales, aiming to restore federal land assets and uphold state school fund interests.
