STATE LANDS FOR THE STATE.

SEATTLE, July 9, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: The policy you have initiated
with reference to the ownership of public lands
by each state instead of by the general govern
ment is, so far as I know, entirely original
with the observation-disclosures. In equity, now
that 1t is pointed out, it seems to be beyond
al question.
call your attention TO the case of Texas,
which, with very remarkable foresight, reserved
its ownership of public lands when 1t entered
the Union. 1t has, therefore, a magnificent in
heritance. Its constitution assigns certain
portion to school purposes and a minor part to
the state university. 1t will have the grsuCest
school system in the world in a few yesrs. az
no portion of the principal can be dissipated.
The state few years ago sold nearly 200 900
acres at 50 an acre, with the proceeds of which
it has erected the finest capitol in the United
States outside of Washington City.
One great advantage of state ownership is
found to be that the value of land can be more
readily estimated ard the machinery more
quickly applied altering prices. Much of the
land, 1t 10 true, has been sold below its value,
but not more so than under the federal control
OF land in other states. AN OLD TEXAN.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The New York State Civil Service Com
mission is at war with the Regents of the
University. The Regents named two per-
sons for inspectors of academies whom
they knew to be familiar with the duties of
the positions aud competent to till them.
but the Civil Service Commission ordered
the Regents to select its inspectors from
the eligible list in the office of the Conn
mission. The Regents answered by abol
ishing the two positions of inspectors, but
the Commission persisted in ordering an
examination open 10 all candidates for the
positions of inspectors. The Regents
replied by giving notice that they had not
authorized any such examination, and the
notice concluded with the following sem
tenee:

This reputation of system of literary

STATE LANDS FOR THE STATE

In letter printed in another column
"An old Texan" calls to mind the fact
that Texas in coming into the American
Union reserved to her own control and for
her own benefit all her public and I'M
occupied lands; and shows to what adj
vantage she has used this great endow-
ment. Her capitol. built wholly from the
proceeds of land sales, is the finest public
building on the continent excepting only
the national capitol at Washington; her
state university is supported largely from
the land fund and her public school system
has from the same source an endowment
that will make it the best in the world and
at the same time independent of special
taxation for all time to come.
Washington has even greater landed
wealth than Texas, a smaller area, but re-
sources Of timber. coal and minerals that
make her vacant lands more valuable than
those of any other state or territory. The
last report of the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office shows that the ''pubIic do
main" in Washington, exclusive of Indian
reservations and railroad grants, aggre-
gates an acreage of 1866, 316. The annual
100000 per year, and the system is a
most wasteful one. Under an intelligent
local administration, whose advantages in
the case of Texas our correspondent has
pointed out, these lands could be made to
yield much larger sum without doing in
{vo 80 81 axH x,tfb
the settlement of the country. The pro-
ceeda, wisely appropriated, would reclaim
every available township of irrigable land
in Eastern Washington; would support
the whole charges ofour state government;
would equip and maintain all our state in
stitutions; would support the whole
charges of our public school system-all
this for all time to come.
Unjust as it is. there would be less rea-
son to complain of the present system Of
state ownership and control if the admin
istration were wise and economical. But
it's just the reverse. If proof of this as
sertion is needed it is afforded by the pres
ent condition Of our landed interests. 1t
will be found by whoever will be at the
pains to examine the state assessment
rolls that thousands and millions of acres.
Of timber lands especially. are held in
large areas by spectators who make no
present use of them. who do nothing to
promote the development of the country
and who are waiting to realize largely
multiplied values in time to come. This
fact. with the further fact that many of
these tracts were secured through fraud.
make evidence enough to condemn the
governmental system Of land administra-
ton.
TO give the lands to the state would be
not only measure of justice, but means
of preserving conserving to the best pub
lie good the richest resources of this very
rich region. The justice of the demand
for state ownership of lands is admitted by
everybody whose attention is called to the
proposition. Such proposition made to
apply not only to Washington, but to all
other states. would attract universal sup
port. All that is required to bring il
about is strong. earnest and persistent
advocate in the congress of the United
Gtates
