Ing by It. II. Trent, and bo held that
ir such wero tho cuso then there was
something radically wrong with tho

Trent started the discussion 'by n
statement that bo bad heard home
steadcrs were being discouraged rrom
taking up plantation lands upon
which tho leases had run out. Such
applicants wero referred to other
lunds, which wero claimed to bo just
as desirable.
Trent did not belloto tho law con
templated anything like that and that
the commissioner was not authorized
to mnko any substitution.
Chilli man Drown thought tho Attor
ney (lonernl should lutorprot tho law
on this point, nnd Judgo Andrndo held
that tho law was plain, giving tho
commissioner this discretionary pow
er or substitution when ho thought
necessary.
