An excellent example of this is afforded in an article in a recent Issue of an eastern Jausiness' magazine maga-zine which. referred to Utah's plan for administering the Reconstruction Reconstruc-tion Finance Corpofation's emergency emer-gency relief funds as a model that all other states might follow. " In 1930, through the influence of Governor Dern, Utah was host to the national governors' conference, which Is an organization of the governors of all the states. Alter Governor Dern had attended two sessions he was chosen a member of the executive committee and the next year he was chosen chairman. He served two years as a chairman and declined a third term, feeling that the honors should be distributed distribut-ed among the other officials. He was one of the organizers of the western governors conference in 1929 and has been a member of the executive committee since. In 1931- 32 he served as chairman of that organization. At the time Governor Dern as sumed the responsibilities of the governorship of Utah, Utah and the other western states were engaged in a controversy with the federal government over their mineral bearing bear-ing school lands. When Utah was admitted to the union, the state was granted four sections of land in each township for the support of the com mon schools. Eventually the sur-preme sur-preme court of the United States ruled that no lands bearing coal or other minerals had been granted the state, and that if any land designated desig-nated as a school section proved to be mineral in character, It must be relinquished to the federal government govern-ment and other land, non-mineral in character, selected in lieu thereof. there-of. As a result of this ruling, there was almost continual confusion, strife and costly litigation. Governor Dern's first step with regard to this controversy was to deliver a notable address, "School Land Titles in the Public Land States," at the national governors' conference in 1926. Through his influence in-fluence a bill was introduced in congress con-gress which provided that the states should have all the minerals con tained in their designated school sections. When the bill was passed and became a law, the then secretary secre-tary of the Interior said It meant one hundred million dollars to the public land states, and none of these will profit more from this (Continued on Page Four) 1 Mr, Hart of Salt Lake City will be in attendance to speak to the Priesthood department. . .
