R!ES ¥ |known as the permanent ALASKA STATEHOGD The Land Granfs Provided in H. R. 331 By BOB DeARMOND A press release from the United States Department of the Interior 1 few months ago stated that the posed new State of Alaska would ceive fifty million acres of land inder the enabling bill presently being considered by the U.S, Sen- ate—H.R. 331. The inference was that Alaske would receive this fifty million acre: —slightly less than fourteen per- | cent of the total area—immediately upon admission as a state. In actual fact, as the bill is writ- ten, that fifty million acres, or the greater part of it, is no more than a rosy glow on a far distant horizon. It amounts to about halt of the total acreage tied up by Fed- eral reservations of one kind and another, and a good part of the tifty million acres might as well be in a reservation so far as present title is concerned H.R. 531 grants the new state four sections of land in each township for the support of its common schools. Since there are 36 sections in each township, this would amount to one-ninth of the total area, o: slightly more than forty million acres. There are some additional sections in the Tanana Valley for the support of the University ol Alaska and special grants totaling 2 million acres. Joker(?) in Land Grants Forty million acres of school lands is a great deal of land when ex- pressed in acres but it is, for the present, very small in terms of put- ting dollars into Alaska’s coffers or, to be exact, into the permanent school fund. An act of Congress approved March 4, 1915, set aside and reserved from sale or settle- ment sections 16 and 36 of each township in Alaska, or half of the sections granted to the proposed state by the present bill. For the past 35 years the income from these lands has been covered into a tund school fund for the support of the commo.} schools. ‘The income from these iands dur- ing a period of 32 years, up until June 30, 1947, amounted to approxi- mately $6,000 according to a state- ment made to a Congressional com- mittee by the Territorial Commis- sioner of Education. The averag: would be something under $200 a year. The joker in the land grants pro- vided by H.R. 331 is that they arc subject to the provisions ot certaia United Sté$es statutes. When strip- ped of lengthy and involved legal language, these statutes provide that the new state could not actually acquire the lands until it has been surveyed and laid out into town- ships. This surveying would not be done by the new state, which is in one way fortunate. Surveying in Alaska is an expensive business. In another | way it is cause the surveying would be con- ducted, as in the past, by the Ca- dastral Engineering Service, 2| branch of the Bureau of Land Man- | | The state would receive a propor- | agement which is, in turn, a branch of the Department of the Interior. Small Amount Surveyed In the more than eighty years the United States has owned Alaska, the Interior Department has seen fit to make township surveys ot only about two and a half million acres 'of Alaskan land. This amounts to approximateiy two-thirds of one percent of the total land area of the Territor Since the surveying of Al an land, even under statehood, would continue as a function of the In- terfor Department, there is no assurance yhatever that the survey- ing work would be stepped up when Alaska becomes a state, or even| that it would be continued at all. 'ltle vast bulk of the fifty illion acres in land grants could only be| transferred to the new state, there-| fore, at the whim of the Secretary of the Interior. A minor portion of the school| lands could, in theory at least, be| acquired by a new state at once.} H.R. 331 provides that where the | actual school sections have already been homesteaded or sold or are in- cluded in a military or other reser- vation of the United States or atherwise appropriated by act o:\ Congress, or where they are sub- ject to any unextinguished native rights, other lands may be selected in lieu thereof. These lands may be selected and acquired, that is, if any surveyed land can be found that is not al- ready claimed by someone else. No land could be taken in the National Forests or other government rese:- vations. This means that the state could acquire no lands in Southeast Alaska unless it took some of the! ice cap region of the mainland Nor, at the present time, could it acquire any lands in the Second Division, because there have been no township surveys whatever mI the Nome Land District. | What Is Open What is actually open to imme- | diate acquisition by the new state is confined largely to the railbelt area of the Third and Fourth Di- visions. In no instance, under the| provisions of H.R. 331, could the State of Alaska own mor 50 percent of the land in one township and this limitation"will, in the long run, further slow up the actual acquisition of the total land grants. It is possible, as of the fpresent date and in view of the limjtations of HR. 331 and of the Federal new @%W Parlcer 13 » / \\\\\ / perhaps unfortunate, be- | | serious barrier to pulp development i Congress passed what is known asc + RUMMAGE € i | saturday, April 29, at 10 am. in social rocms of the Lutheran Church, 88-3t statutes, that the proposed state might be able to get title to a couple of hundred thousand acres of Alaskan lands. And it seems en- tirely probable, Alaskan lands bei what they are, that at least hait of that acreage would not be wortn | the taking. | Despite the fact that it could ac- | quire no lands in the National For- , the new state, under the pre- nt statehood bill, would perhaps | come off best, so far as land reve- | nues are concerned, in the National | Forest areas. tionate share of the revenues trom | these forests, amounting to one- ninth of the total. This would be in addition to the revenues presently received by the Territory of Alasks from the National Forests. This is a very large potential rev- enue, especially if pulp mills arc | built in Southeast Alaska. Again however, under present laws, these revenues would be received by the state in theory rather than in dol- | lars. Some three years ago when Indian claims to large portions of Tongas: National Forest appeared to be s the Tongass Timber Sales Act. Indian Claims Again This act provides that all rev- enues from- timber sales in Ton- gass National Forest are to be placed n escrow, and to be held in- tact until the Indian claims are disposed of. At this writing we do not have !pulp mills, but we do have ou forest revenues tied up so that they cannot be touched by the Territory or by the proposed state. The Indiar claims could, of course, be settled in the near future, but it appears doubtful that they will be. And Con~ gress could repeal the Tongass Tim- ber Sales Act. If that were done with the Indian claims unsettled, it is doubtful that we will get pulp development. And if we do not get pulp development, a major pdrtion of the potential forest revenues will never materialize. Summing up the whole picture of land revenues for the State oi Alaska proposed by H.R. 831, it is apparent that they would be a very small drop in the bucket of financ- ing required to maintain and op- erate that state. For many years Alaska’s fisheries have provided a large portion of the revenues for the operation of the Territory. It has been suggested that under statehood we would receive additional revenues from the Alas- kan fur seal herd. The status ot these resources under the provisions of HR. 331 will be discussed in the next of these articles.
