The movement to have all the public
lands in the several states turned over
to the states in which the lands are
located is logical one that-ought to
have prevailed long ago. When a state
ceases to be territory and becomes a
state it should have control of all the
territory within the bounds of that
state. The governors anG legislatures
of the states are in better position to
know what is best to do with the lands
located in the states than the gentry in
Washington.
