Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of State Lands and Investments for the Two Fiscal Years Beginning July 1st, 1926, and Terminating June 30th, 1928, to the Honorable J. E. Erickson, Governor With the fond h0pe that the administration of this department during the last two-year period has been such as to form a part, how ever small, of your comprehensive program of faithful and unselfish service to all the people of the Treasure State, this simple report is hereby most gratefully submitted. The two years embraced by this report have been rich in auspicious events for the Department of State Lands and Investments. Following your recommendations the last Legislative Assembly enacted what may be regarded as a new code of laws relating to this department, embodied in Chapter 60 of the 1927 Session Laws. This Act reorganizes and unifies the department under the name of the Department of State Lands and Investments, amends the main body of the former statutes gov erning its administration, and adds new statutes greatly increasing its capacity for service and usefulness to the people of the state. Other state legislation of a constructive nature has also been enacted favorably affecting this department. Prior to your administration there were practically no statutes governing the leasing of state lands for oil and gas production. S'uch statutes have now been enacted and are found in Chapter 108 of the 1927 Session Laws. Careful study of this legis lation will show that it fully protects the interests of the State in full harmony with the letter and spirit of our Constitution; and experience has abundantly demonstrated that oil operators find it acceptable and workable. As this great industry is probably yet in its infancy in our state, the just and equitable legislation enacted on this subject is of fundamental and far-reaching importance.
