Not many people nowadays remember the name of Democratic Senator Thomas Hart Benton, but he is the very reason why the eastern states now own the large majority of their public lands. Senator Benton of Missouri, whose state at the time was 90% federally controlled for decades, spent 10 years working to get the federal government to honor the promises made to those eastern states (at the time they were considered "western states") and was finally successful in getting the ownership of public lands transferred to the respective states.

"[T]he federal government...became the  monopolizer of vacant lands in the West: and this monopoly, like all monopolies, resulted in hardships to those upon whom it acted."

Which famous U.S. senator successfully made this argument to compel the federal government to transfer title to the vast stretches of federally controlled land in the west? Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah whose state is 65 percent federally controlled? Or, maybe Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona whose state is nearly 50 percent federally controlled? Maybe it's a trick question. Could it be Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas whose state has about 1 percent federally controlled land? Give up?

Illinois Won the First Sagebrush Rebellion

Breitbart_Logo.jpg

By Ken Ivory

Nevada currently holds the unenviable record for the highest percentage of federally controlled lands within its borders - more than 80%!

But this is not just a Nevada problem; the federal government controls about half of all the lands within the western states. In contrast, States east of Colorado have, on average, less than 5% federally controlled lands.

But Nevada doesn't even come close to the all-time record holder for federally controlled lands within a state. This remarkable record was held by that great "western state" of Illinois. During the 19th century, the federal government controlled more than 95% of all lands within the State of Illinois for decades! But, it wasn't just Illinois. The federal government also controlled for decades as much as 90% of all lands between Indiana and Florida.

My View: Public Lands in the East and West - Why the Difference?

Posted on ALC Blog by Shelby Thurgood · February 10, 2015 12:37 PM

Large_Federal_Land_Map_2014.jpg

By Ken Ivory

You have likely seen the red and white map - the federal government controls more than 50 percent of all land in the western states, but less than 5 percent of lands in states east of Colorado. Why the difference?

Several have asserted it is because western lands are arid; therefore, the federal government keeps them forever. Oregon, Washington, and Alaska are the states with the most precipitation, and yet they have 53 percent, 45 percent, and 62 percent federally controlled lands respectively. So much for "arid."

Why Utah’s Federal Lands Fight Matters in Oklahoma [and all points East] - Part 5 of 5

Posted on ALC Blog by Ken Ivory · January 02, 2015 11:47 PM

This is the fifth in five-part series about federal lands by Trent England of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs - www.OCPAThink.org. 

Legislation adopted in Utah calls on the federal government to transfer certain of these lands to the state. It set a deadline of December 31, 2014.

Just 1.6% of the land that comprises Oklahoma is owned by the federal government. In Utah, where state officials are leading an effort to reduce federal land ownership, that number is 66.5%. Yet there are good reasons why Oklahomans and all Americans should support Utah’s legal and political challenge to Washington, D.C.’s power.

States Can Manage Public Lands - Part 4 of 5

Posted on ALC Blog by Ken Ivory · January 02, 2015 11:23 PM

This is the fourth in five-part series about federal lands by Trent England of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs - www.OCPAThink.org. 

Legislation adopted in Utah calls on the federal government to transfer certain of these lands to the state. It set a deadline of December 31, 2014.

A division cuts across the continental United States. In the 11 western states, the federal government owns nearly half the land (47.3%). In the 37 states to their east, just 4% of the land is federal. In five states, including New York, the federal government owns less than 1% of the land. 

Given these numbers, Utah’s insistence that the federal government turn over resource lands in that state is hardly radical. All Utah wants is to be treated like every other state east of Colorado.

This East-West division is the result of a history of federal foot-dragging and eventual reneging on a policy of treating states as equals by giving them control over their own lands (other than those retained by the federal government for a constitutionally enumerated purpose; more on the history is in parts two and three of this series).

The Neo-Colonialism of Federal Planners and Urban Elites - Part 3 of 5

Posted on ALC Blog by Ken Ivory · January 02, 2015 11:12 PM

This is the third in a five-part series about federal lands by Trent England of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs - www.OCPAThink.org. 

Legislation adopted in Utah calls on the federal government to transfer certain of these lands to the state. It set a deadline of December 31, 2014.

Colonialism is “control by one power over a dependent area or people.” This definition applies to many western communities surrounded by federal land.
 
Most federal lands were originally open to use by local people and industries. Yet in classic colonial fashion, distant politicians and bureaucrats now routinely dictate restrictive policies that degrade or destroy local communities. Just one example, the Northwest Forest Plan devised in 1994 reduced logging by 80% for lands originally set aside for that very purpose. Based on bad science about the spotted owl, the plan devastated communities (as the USFS’s own report shows, corresponding with what this writer has seen in these same communities) and increased the intensity of wildfires.
 
Even some liberal politicians in the West have cried foul as outside interests have worked to shut down the use of lands for the very purposes they were originally preserved.

The Romance And Reality Of Federal Lands - Part 2 of 5

This is the second in a five-part series about federal lands by Trent England of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs - www.OCPAThink.org. 

Legislation adopted in Utah calls on the federal government to transfer certain of these lands to the state. It set a deadline of December 31, 2014.

Before Horace Greeley and Lewis and Clark there was George Washington. As a teenager employed as a surveyor by Virginia’s powerful Fairfax family, Washington spent three years exploring the colony’s western lands. His very first investment, when he was 18 years old, was to purchase 453 acres of this land at this western fringe. While he lived in what is today an eastern state, Washington was a westerner at heart.
 
Like Washington, many patriots saw America’s future in the West. One of the causes of the American Revolution was Britain’s insistence on stifling westward expansion. Following ratification of the Constitution by the original 13 states, three new states entered the union during the Washington and Adams administrations. Ohio became a state in 1803, the same year Thomas Jefferson’s administration doubled the nation’s land area with the Louisiana Purchase. By 1850, the union consisted of 31 states.

State sovereignty at its most basic is the ability of a state to control its own land. Earlier this month, 95 state and locally elected officials joined a variety of experts from 14 states in Salt Lake City to draft and ratify a statement calling for land currently held by the federal government to be transferred to the states. Officials at the summit included Alaska’s Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell; Utah Speaker of the House Becky Lockhart and state Senator Jennifer Fielder of Montana.
