Turning the Lands Over to the States.
WASHINGTON Crrx. Oct. 3L-fspecial. T.
Senator Squire had some talk with mem
bers Of congress regarding the proposition
of turning the public lands In the various
states over to the states to be managed and
disposed of as the people OF each state
thought was for the benefit Of the people
and the state. This matter hes been
talked of before, but usually meets with .
great deal of opposition from the members
OF congress from the East, who think 1t
their sole provinces to protect the
public lands of the West, and who
always assert that IL is the desire of the
people of the West 10 get control OF the
public lands in order that they may turn
them over to the corporations. This kind
Of talk would scarcely seem TO be just
right when 10 10 recalled that all the big
grants 10 the corporations were made by
the people of the East Of lands In the
West when the West was not represented
In congress and when tbs lands were an.
occupied. But that is always the way.
The people Of the East say that the In
disns should not be managed by the people
of the West, because the Western people
have no othcr desire than to despoil them
Of their lands. And this after the Eastern
people have driven the Indians beyond
their own borders and taken their lands
from them without pay, while no PROPOSE
ton Is ever made now TO reduce the sizs
of an Indian reservation without paying
the Indians for their lands, and paying
them very good price for them. But to
return 10 the subject of turning the lands
over to the states. Senator Squire thinks
that the country Is not yet ripe for
any such action, as the allegations
which have been made before will
be made again and fight for such q bill
would now be met with more determined
opposition than IL viii be In few years.
He thinks that q state peopled with an in
telligent population would take very good
care Of its pubic lands and that IL would
guard them fully ~ well as the govern
ment is doing. Ii would also be an adj
vantage to state like Washington, which
ct present is unable to select the lands
which were granted 20 Ii tor public pnr.
