Hoover Proposes Commission for Federal State Lands Shift
President Hoover in a letter to Interior Assistant Secretary Joseph M. Dixon urged a nine to ten member commission, with at least five from public land states, to study current policies and propose changes. He favors transferring surface rights of unappropriated lands to states for schooling and shifting reclamation service toward water storage and local management. The plan aims to curb federal bureaucracy and boost state governance while preserving local interests. SALT LAKE CITY AUG 26 The governors meeting read the letter and discussed a broad reorganization of land and water policy. The Utah conference ended Aug 27 endorsing Hoover’s commission and calling for annual meetings, higher highway funding, and coordinated western airways while urging forest fire prevention funding and a shift away from federal water ownership claims.
