PAGE FOUR MONDELL RAPS LEASING BILL Provisions Unfair to Present Claimants and Locators, Says Wyoming Solon. In his discussion of the conference | report on the oil and coal leasing bill, Congressman Mondell criticised sev- | eral of the features of the bill very severely. He insisted that the pro- visions of the bill relating to present claimants and locators were neither fair, just, nor equitable, and that in many cases they would result in very great loss and hardship. The Wyoming contended that the prov bill relating to future locators were Testrictive to a degree that would seriously hamper and interfere with the proper development of the oil re-! sources of the west. the bonus bidding system, as it ap- plies both to present and future lo- cators, stating that it was unfair and unjust to those who had _ heretofore made investments and might here- after secure permits to compel them] to bid against all comers for leases on lands they had themselves developed. Among other things, Mr. Mondell said “my objections to the bill are so relate He criticised numerous, they to so many provisions of it, that it will be utterly impossible for me to re to them in detail, eaking genrally, the bill does scant justice to those who are affected by its provisions, and does not give a fair opportunity to those who may seek to develop the oil and coal resources of the public domain.” Referring to the provisions of the bill which turn all the royalties into the reclamation fund and do not com- pensate the states and localities for the loss of taxing values, Mr. Mondell “If L find it difficult to discuss in parliamentary said th guage. The Wyoming congressman. ‘pro- ceeded to emphasize the very great injustice which is done to the states that have large areas of coal and oil lands, in not giving them any portion of the royalties until the royalties shall have been invested in reclama- tion propects and repaid. He has made a very earnest fight to have 50 per ce »f the royalties paid to the states. se provisions In view of these defects in the bill, Mr. Mondell said that if it seemed, possible to secure better legislation he would want to see the conference | report defeated but that under exist- ing conditions, he presumed that the bill, bad as it was, was the best that could be ol and he conclud- y “It has been said that r is settled until it is settled In the truth of that maxim have faith that if this bill in its present form justice will ually be done by changes of the still MISS ANDERSON HISTORIAN FOR STATE IN 1918 CHEYENN At au meeting of th Historical Board yesterday, Miss HuniceiGAn derson was clected historian She will assume her new duties to morrow, and rht will relinquish her double worl ant deputy State t surer dof the work men’s c¢ ation depar' t.
