Public Land Control
Western governors and their representatives at the
Salt Lake City conference have approved President Hoover'
, suggestion for the appointment of a commission to study the
proposal for a change in the government's public land and
' reclamation policy, and the return to the states of at least
toartial jurisdiction.'.. Until the commission is selected and a
definite policy formulated, the extent of the proposal will
: not tv known, nor can its effect uoon the states be predicted.
Mr. Hoover suggests the transfer of all unentered pub
lic lands to the state for school purposes; the retention of
federal control over national forests, over oil lands and all
' mineral resources found unon the transferred lands; the
abolishment of the homestead act and permitting the out
right purchase of lands ; and the continued building of dams
for irrigation and flood control by the federal government
nd Its cooperation with the states in construction of canals
and conduits on reclamation projects. t -
Objections to the proposed program are voiced by a
number of western senators, among mem owiaw - .''
who declares that only the worthless and unusable lands win
be dumped upon the states with the federal government re
- taining its rights to the vast forest reserves and potential y
rich oil and mineral deposits. He dubs it a skimmed milk
proposition in which the government retains the cream.
The Hoover proposal does not meet the demands ol
western states, whose great incentive is to get the public
lands on the tax roUs. but it seems designed to secure ap
proval of conservationists, who seek the preservation of the
forests to insure rainiau ana pirran -
denudation. Nearly all the worthwhile land not included n
reserves has long since been taken up. so the states would
not Materially gain by a retransfer to their jurisdiction.
Conservation plays little part m ataus
Ute control of public lands has always been featured
by reckless waste, destructive exploitation and graft. Most
if .ITTm,! l.nrl. were surreptitiously stolen and the public
echool fund deprived of millions. The forests under .private
ownership are ruthlessly destroyed to escape taxation and
attempt at reforestation made. Pressure of predatory
fcl interest i always influences state pub ic land policies .

of an aU-wwerful bureaucracy, governing at long range.

eUughtering the Jews in Palestine, because of their differ
ences in belief.
Jerusalem is a holy city to three religions the Jews,
, rkri.it.m rniJ thn Moslems. Bloodv struggles for its
possession have featured the history of all three sects for
many cenutries. The ancient capital of the Hebrews, it sym
bolizes their departed glory. For its possession tney wagea
stubborn and hopeless conflicts long before the birth of
Christ, against Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Per
sians. Greeks and Romans. The latter destroyed it, and dis-
rtampri the Jews.
To the Christian it is sacred for its association with the
lif and death of Christ, as well as Bibical history. For its
possession the Crusaders of the eleventh and twelfth cen
turies struggled valorousiy oniy to eventually iuse it iu ui
Saracens. 1
To the Moslems Jerusalem Is also one of the sacred cities
being captured by Islams in 637. The Arab overlords were
lenient until the Seljak Turks came into power, when their
oppression of Christian pilgrims became a cnauenge to t-nr-tianity
and the Crusades followed.
The nresent disturbance Btarted at the "wailing wall"
Vhere Jews gather to mourn the fall of Jerusalem. This wall
was originally part of the Temple of Solomon and the later
temple of Herod. It is now part of a Moslem shrine, the
Harem-est-Sherif,- known as the Dome of the Sock, erected
by the Arabs in 691. Here the followers ot tne same uoo
shoot down each other as savagely as a millennium ago.
Back of the present disturbance Is the resentment of
the Arabs against the colonization of Palestine by Jews sent
from all parts of the world by the Zionist movement, having
for its objective the restoration of the Jewish homeland,
which has been In progress since the capture of Jerusalem
by Lord Allenby in 1917 from the Turks. The influx of the
Jews and the ensuing dispossession of the natives and the
Intensive development following is deeply resented by the
nomad tribesmen.
Religious prejudice starts and carries on the bloodiest
end most cruel wars In history which should be a warning
to this land of many different religions of the absolute ne
cessity for tolerance. It is why such sinister movements as
the Ku KIux Klan, which exploit bigotry, are frought with
fearful menace and threaten national solidarity. Despite
our efforts at tolerance, fanaticism is latent in many and
only awaits the opportunity to embark upon a "holy" war.
SCHOOL BOARD TO

had the word of 12 boys, the ma
jority of tbcra graduates with the
