Oil royalties show better deals by federal control claim
Editorial argues against the claim that oil interests push for state tidelands ownership to secure better deals. It cites California royalty data showing federal lands yield 11–12% while state lands average 25–4%, Long Beach tidelands delivering 55% and 81/4% to the city, with Long Beach owning wells and infrastructure. The piece labels the “oil lobby” argument as demagogy and urges acceptance of federal control.
