On the Other Side of Certain Public Lands

This article takes vigorous exception to certain statements and opinions expressed in the editorial in the October, 1944, issue of the Journal. The author presents considerable evidence in support of his own conclusion that the jurisdiction of the Oregon and California Revested Lands Administration properly includes the controverted lands in the indemnity limits. He also discusses at length the two important problems of federal contributions to local communities in lieu of taxes, and unification of administration of federal lands.
