grazing and that the remainder may be leased temporarily and entirely subject to the right of the State to sell to actual and bona fide settlers and to these ends we favor the enact ment of laws to compel the removal of trespassers and free grazers from the pub lie lands and to force the payment of rent for their use and to fix absolutely the rental price of lands to be leased There should be
