When Arizona became a state in 1912 the federal
government set aside more then 10 million acres of
land to be held in trust to support public education.
Today we still have 9,300,000 acres of this state trust land. The land is to be sold and leased to support public education. Now if you ask me for my Libertarian view the state could give all this land to the people who own it (which is the 6 million people that live in Arizona) and every person in the state would have 1.5 acres of land. Wow! That would eliminate the homeless problem. I should get more information on this state trust land. A good starting point would be Mark Winkleman the guy who wrote this article. And as it turns out Mark Winkleman is the Director of the Arizona State Land Department.
Land Grant & Designation of Beneficiaries The Territory of Arizona was established on February 24, 1863, by an Act of Congress. This Act granted sections 16 and 36 of each township for the benefit of the Common Schools. Endowment of public lands for educational purposes was a practice established by the Northwest Ordinance in 1787. Congress quickly recognized the value of the land and the importance of public schools to a developing nation. The State Enabling Act, passed on June 20, 1910, allowed the Territory of Arizona to prepare for statehood. In addition to the previously designated sections of land, the Enabling Act assigned sections 2 and 32 of each township to be held in trust for the Common Schools. The needs of other public institutions were considered by Congress, and through the Enabling Act, more than two million additional acres were allocated for their use. In addition, a 1929 Act authorized an additional 50,000 acres for the Miners’ Hospital Trust. An 1881 Act had already granted the Territory of Arizona about 60,000 acres for the University of Arizona Trust. The total acreage was about 10,900,000. Today, State Trust Land is apportioned among 14 beneficiaries as follows:
Total 9,228,787
