Representatives of O it C land
grant counties have approved the
action of Senator Guy Cordon in
moving to reduce the share the
counties receive from proceeds of
ale from O it C lands from
per cent to 50 per cent. But County
Judge Day t. ayiy 01 i-an
county does not agree. He says the
counties stand to lose sz,oou,uuu
vear if the concession is made.
The story Is simple: When the
federal government recovered the
remainder of the land grant for
construction of the Oregon ". and
California railroad (now part f
the Southern Pacific) the coun
ties lost the tax income they were
deriving from the lands. Appeals
were made to congress which C
nally agreed to pay .the counties
stuns in lieu of taxes. In doing
this the treasury was "out" a con
siderable sum. Then in 1837 an
act was passed. Congressman Mott
being the chief sponsor, wnicn
fixed the county share at 50 per
cent of the proceeds of sales from
the lands, and set aside 25 per cent
to liquidate the advances made oy
the federal treasury. It also pro
vided that when the advances
were liauidated the 25 per cent
also should go to the counties. This
point has been reacted this year,
so under the 1937 act counties are
due to get 75 per cent.
As the income now is running
around $8,000,000 a year Bayly is
correst in saying the counties stand
to Ise S2,QOO,000 a year.
But that isn't the whole story.
As congressmen saw this large
share going to counties they shut
down on appropriations ior man
agement of the lands, clipping
$800,000 off administration costs
and $1,000,000 for access roads.
That automatically would reduce
the amount of timber
