	ALABAMA - LoveToKnow Article on ALABAMA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This caused a disagreement between Alabama and the United States authorities; although it was amicably settled, it engendered a feeling that the policy of the national government might not be in harmony with the interests of the statea feeling which, intensified by the slavery agitation, did much to cause secession in 1861.
		In the early part of the Civil War Alabama was not the scene of military operations, yet the state contributed about 120,000 men to the Confederate service, practically all her white population capable of bearing arms, and thirty-nine of these attained the rank of general.
		The state endorsed railway bonds at the rate of $12,000 and $16,000 a mile until the state debt had increased from eight millions to seventeen millions of dollars, and similar corruption characterized local government.

		The valuation hearings for eastern Iowa lands (Cessions 175, 226, 244) were held in Washington in 1962; those for southcentral Iowa (Cession 262) were in 1965.
		Determining the "fair market value" of the various cession areas in Iowa prior to or on the valuation date was complicated by the lack of an active land market at the time.
		State land disposal patterns are indeed one of the virgin areas in land history.

	Federal Jurisdiction by Lowell Becraft
		State courts are courts of general jurisdiction and in a state criminal prosecution, the state must only prove that the offense was committed within the state and a county thereof.
		Hammond, 1 Ill.2d 65, 115 N.E.2d 331 (1953), a burglary of an I.R.S. office was held to be within state jurisdiction, the court holding that the defendant was required to prove existence of federal jurisdiction by U.S. ownership of the property and state cession of jurisdiction.
		State, 734 P.2d 693 (Nev. 1987), the state court was held to have jurisdiction over a D.U.I. committed on federal lands, the defendant having failed to show U.S. ownership and state cession of jurisdiction.

		Lowe, 114 U.S. 525 (1885), acceptance of such retrocession by the State is essential, although it seems probable that such acceptance may be presumed in the absence of--to use the term employed in the Fort Leavenworth R.R. case, supra--a "dissent" on the part of the State.
		Upon the occurrence of the circumstances specified in a State cession or consent statute for the reversion of legislative jurisdiction to the State; or
		While this reasoning was employed to sustain a cession of legislative jurisdiction by a State to the Federal Government, it would appear to be equally applicable to a retrocession of legislative jurisdiction to a State.

	Legal Brief on Federal Jurisdiction
		In the United States, there are two separate and distinct jurisdictions, one being that of the States within their own territorial boundaries and the other being federal jurisdiction.
		Federal jurisdiction results from a conveyance of state jurisdiction to the federal government for lands owned or otherwise possessed by the federal government, and thus federal jurisdiction is extremely limited in nature.
		The United States is one of the 50 jurisdictions existing on this continent, excluding Canada and its provinces.

	States as Public Land Managers
		State trust land management appears to have been dominated by lessees and an emphasis on local development, in combination with the professional ideologies of the underlying management groups--not all that different from federal land management--until the middle of the 20th century.
		The state enabling act granting the lands was clear both that the lands were not to be acquired for use for less than their fair market value, and to guarantee that, had specified and defined the manner in which the lands had to be offered for sale.
		The state legislature had enacted statutes which set maximum agricultural and grazing fees, limited the amount of interest the Commissioners could charge when making farm loans and when selling trust property, and allowed existing lessees a preference right to release "their" allotments if they were in full compliance with the terms of their lease.

	AGO_1965-66_No_107 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Lowe, 114 U.S. 525 (1885), it was held that in the case of land not acquired by the United States under Article I, § 8, clause 16, supra, a state did not have to cede exclusive legislation; the state could reserve partial legislative jurisdiction to itself.
		Such land, in our opinion, continues to be state territory simply because it has not been acquired by the federal government under any circumstance which will divest the state of general jurisdiction.
		The fiction of a state within a state can have no validity to prevent the state from exercising its power over the federal area within its boundaries, so long as there is no interference with the jurisdiction asserted by the Federal Government.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Iroquois
		In general plan, it might be compared to our own system of independent state and federal jurisdiction, and in fact the Iroquois themselves, at the outbreak of the Revolution, recommended their system as a model for imitation by the American patriots.
		As in most of the eastern tribes, it was based upon the clan system (see INDIANS, AMERICAN), with descent in the female line, the number of clans varying from three with the Mohawk and Oneida to eight in the others of the original five, the dominant clans being the Bear, Wolf and Turtle.
		The refugees were subsequently assigned lands by the British Government, near Brantford, Ontario, on which they still reside, keeping up their old tribal forms and to a considerable extent, their old native religion.

		The so-called "cession lands" involved in the recent claims cases covered the entire southeastern half of the state (Royce Cessions 175, 226, 244, 262) and totaled almost 21 million acres.
		The second step -- to determine the value of the land as of the treaty date -- was most important for future scholars since these hearings prompted the collection of extensive information on land sales in the treaty areas.
		Most valuable are the alphabetical and chronological listings of all items in the Books of Original Entry of the thirty-three full counties of Royce Cession 262 and the nineteen selected townships (one per county) in Cessions 175, 226, and 244 of eastern Iowa.
