MINERAL LANDS HELD FOR USE OF PEOPLE OIL LEASING BILL ADOPTED BY CONGRESS AFTER TEN YEARS OF ENDEAVOR Large Holders No Longer Have Control of Valuable Tracts—Six Million Acres of Possible Oil Lands Released to the People—May Greatly Increase Output of Oil The immediate measure called the oil leasing bill has been before congress as long as ten years and actively up for fruitless consideration in the last four democratic congresses. At last it is law at the hands of the party that twice made Roosevelt president. It is approved by those who have fought for the principle hardest, Gifford Pinchot saying in commending the measure that the bill made law followed the conservation principle laid down by Theodore Roosevelt when he was president. The bill releases to the use of the public some 6,000,000 acres of possible oil lands heretofore withheld from development in our western states, such as California, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. The terms are simple. In known oil territory owned by the government a lease is granted to applicants upon ground not to exceed 640 acres, and the lessee must pay not less than 12½ per cent of the to be more of it in the United States than elsewhere in the world. During the war the United States paid one concern in Texas $1,500,000 for the right to extract helium from the gas in its oil lands. Now the extraction of helium need not jeopardize the operation of oil production. The extraction of helium makes the ordinary gas it was mixed with more inflammable and therefore a better lighting medium. The measure also arranges the distribution of some $20,000,000 that has been impounded by the government for oil from land in litigation. The oil has of course been consumed. At last the owners will receive their share and the government its own one-eighth. No claimant acquiring any interest in the lands since September 1, 1919, can secure a lease, and it also provides that not more than one lease shall be granted to any applicant. The president can at any time within 12 months after the approval of the act direct the compromise and settlement of any of the controversies arising from the withdrawal order of September 27, 1909. This is in the nature of an alternative measure for settlement of litigation in which the government is involved with the claimants, and was adopted by the house last year. The effect will be to restore to the government an ownership in all the lands in controversy and the payment to the government of one-eighth royalty on all oil produced on the lands from discovery, and, in addition thereto, insures the payment to the government of such royalty not less than one-eighth as may be fixed by the secretary of the interior on future production. It will be seen therefore that the government will enjoy substantially the same interests in the property as it would have pines, and then demanding that lands to their less declare that is the duty of abandoning the Mexicanization. This project in the Near from the same for the past resisted the thing to come us as a door in the relations in Mexico for the masses they are in A told by Mr. W. it would be an sion for us to this republic prosperity anderty even to Mexico, much people, rights this our demos like the man w benefits of certain nostrums to cthe human race abuses his own home. The appeal to mandate in A name of suffer told of the tering in that h our duty to all the people there human suffering will ever be erosity of America to be feared, to the people who can people to face overlook the The bill releases to the use of the public some 6,000,000 acres of possible oil lands heretofore withheld from development in our western states, such as California, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. The terms are simple. In known oil territory owned by the government a lease is granted to applicants upon ground not to exceed 640 acres, and the lessee must pay not less than 12½ per cent of the value of the production to the government, and in addition a certain bonus royalty to be determined by competitive bidding. In so-called wild-cat or unknown territory the permittee receives the right to prospect for oil on land not to exceed 2,560 acres, and if he discovers oil he receives a lease for 20 years upon the fourth of his permit acreage, or 640 acres. For the oil produced from this 640-acre tract he pays the government 5 percent of the value of the production. In addition he receives a preferential lease on the remainder (between 640 and 2,560 acres), but upon that he must pay a royalty of not less than 12½ per cent, or one-eighth, and that rate is to be fixed by competitive bidding or by any other methods that the secretary of the interior may provide. Others may come in and bid over him and he loses his preference lease unless he is willing to take the remainder of the tract at the highest bid. He has that privilege. At the end of twenty years new terms may be fixed by the secretary of the interior, or by law, and the lessee has the preference in the renewal if he so desires. Of the future fund collected by the government 37½ per cent goes direct to the states where it may originate and the rest of the fund is distributed 52½ per cent to the reclamation fund and 10 per cent to the federal government. An important element in the measure made law is contained in the provisions against any possible consolidation of leases. Only one lease is permitted to the extent indicated. There can be no union of one with another. There can be no consolidation of control of several leases under a corporation or individual. The control must ever remain absolutely distinct from any control over another lease. So the field that is opened up will be an opportunity for individuals rather than government an ownership in all the lands in controversy and the payment to the government of one-eighth royalty on all oil produced on the lands from discovery, and, in addition thereto, insures the payment to the government of such royalty not less than one-eighth as may be fixed by the secretary of the interior on future production. It will be seen therefore that the government will enjoy substantially the same interests in the property as it would have had upon an original leasing of the land to the claimants. In fact, the government is in a more favorable position as there is no limitation whatever on the royalty which may be fixed as to future production. Many millions have been spent in development of the properties and by collection of back royalty and the fixing of adequate future royalty the government obtains a most satisfactory settlement. The foregoing are the features in the leasing bill as it relates to oil. The doors of opportunity are thrown open to obtain whatever riches the lands legislated for may contain. The opportunity is a fair and an equal one to everybody and it will be fair in the operation as in the beginning. Over all will be the watchful eye of the government. It will be in its own interest to be as fair as the law allows, but it will claim its own share of its own possessions, which also by this same law will so regulate things that there shall be no waste. NO FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS The acceptance of a "mandate," another name for protectorate, over Armenia, as now formally proposed by President Wilson, would definitely involve the American people in the complications of Old World international politics. Our associates in the World war have divided up, through annexations and mandatories, all the spoils of war which represent assets rather than liabilities. We are asked to take over and administer the affairs of an area which has for centuries been the scene of the most intense racial and religious conflict. The powers have taken from the area originally belonging to Armenia all those portions which possess wealth or commercial possibilities, and are asking the United States government to take under its care the pliable remainder and name of sufferers told of the terrifying in that harsher duty to all the people there human suffering will ever be erosion of America to be feared, not the people who can people to fail overlook the lems, which, in next few years, on the rocks. People met all these and cooperation made within this public and upon The Americans to shirk any remedy may properly cause of the West cannot comprehend of those who have earned by blood and treasury conflict, sacrifice from the dominion military power further sacrificed in the war areas nexing territories. There is a maw which some people lead an individuation, far astray, deal of this ocularity on tap period. It is an enthronement, in old-fashioned style. The American loan governments ties far more closely propping up tensions in Europe go to the border tending help to red peoples of Europe demonstrated se assertion is not any reasonable peace and safety thrusting our strom of Europe backed by bayou is quite another right to be given the interests and lic of ours. In the border our island posses An important element in the measure made law is contained in the provisions against any possible consolidation of leases. Only one lease is permitted to the extent indicated. There can be no union of one with another. There can be no consolidation of control of several leases under a corporation or individual. The control must ever remain absolutely distinct from any control over another lease. So the field that is opened up will be an opportunity for individuals rather than for combinations of men. The effect of the measure upon the production of oil is problematic. There may be a great deal of oil in the 6,000,000 acres restored to public, or there may be very little. Exploration will tell. It has to be borne in mind that in nearly all cases elsewhere from 75 to 90 per cent of the prospecting in oil results in failure, despite the large outlay in sinking a well. The gushers are very few; the dusters are very many. But the needs of the world are such that it is imperative to see what oil the 6,000,000 acres contain. The importance of the legislation in a specific way was emphasized by Dr. Van Manning, director of the bureau of mines, when he said: "We know that the domestic output of oil does not meet the present consumption and that the amount of the deficit will probably continue. It is sure that there are vast oil reserves in this country, and if these oil fields could be developed without hindrance they could, even though the present rate of consumption continues to increase, probably meet the world's demands in the next ten years at least." A feature is the reservation for the government to extract helium found in the oil or gas produced. This was used for derigibles in the war and prevents combustion, and there is thought The risk of the undertaking would not arise primarily from the mere fact of our control of the affairs of the republic of Armenia, but from the establishment of an American outpost in the Near East which would physically involve us in all the mutations of European politics in this battle ground of Old World intrigue. It would mean keeping an armed force in the Near East for many years to come, and it would mean that this country would not be free to either enter or refuse to enter the future wars that may, and probably will, result from the failure of the peace conference to settle the problems arising out of the war. Curiously enough this demand that we involve ourselves in European and Asiatic politics through the acceptance of such responsibility in Armenia, comes from the very politicians who have always denounced the United States for the work it has done in the Philippine Islands. In the Philippine archipelago, having full authority as well as responsibility, this country has done a great work for the ten million people who as a result of the war with Spain came beneath American sovereignty.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE United States paid one hundred for the gas extraction due to the extraordinary gas inflammable mediating pines, and they have all along been demanding that we abandon these islands to their fate. They will doubtless declare at San Francisco that it is the duty of the United States to abandon the Philippine Islands to Mexicanization or Japanization. This project of an American outpost in the Near East comes, moreover, from the same politicians who have for the past seven years successfully resisted the demand that we do something to compose conditions menacing us as a people immediately next door in the republic of Mexico. Conditions in Mexico are not much better, for the masses of the people, than they are in Armenia. Yet we are told by Mr. Wilson and his party that it would be an act of criminal aggression for us to use the great power of this republic to bring tranquility and prosperity and safety of life and property even to the Mexican people in Mexico, much less to defend our own people, rights and interests there. In this our democratic friends are much like the man who preaches loudly the benefits of certain social and political nostrums to cure all the ailments of the human race, but who neglects and abuses his own family in his own home. The appeal in behalf of an American mandate in Armenia is made in the name of suffering humanity. We are told of the terrible conditions prevailing in that hapless country, and of our duty to alleviate the suffering of the people there. There is much more human suffering in the world than it will ever be possible for the generosity of America to alleviate. It is to be feared, moreover, that some of the people who are asking the American people to fare abroad as crusaders, overlook the gravity of home problems, its clashing territorial and trade ambitions, which we are as powerless to compose as to stop with more phrases the rolling flood of Niagara. We stand at the turning of the highway of American destiny. Either we shall take the downward path, after a century and a half of upward climbing, to the old, dark, winding, bloody road we left behind with Washington, or we shall keep on forging toward the goal of good to all mankind the founders and preservers of this republic have constantly held as their objective. Shutting our ears to the specious pleas of pretended and deluded humanitarianism, let us oling to the true internationalism our nation has exemplified from its earliest years, serving the world by upholding the ideals, the rights, the interests and the independence of that republic which is the world's last, best hope of ordered liberty: of Lincoln's "Government of the people By the people, for the people." OLIVE POISONING ELIMINATED The bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture authorizes the statement that it has met with a gratifying degree of cooperation on the part of packers of ripe olives in improving methods to such an extent that danger from botulinus poisoning in future packs will be eliminated. Very extensive investigations have been made by scientists from the bureau of chemistry with the cooperation of the packers and the packers have also employed specialists to study the causes of botulinus poisoning and the precautions which should be employed to prevent further difficulty. name of suffering humanity. We are told of the terrible conditions prevailing in that hapless country, and of our duty to alleviate the suffering of the people there. There is much more human suffering in the world than it will ever be possible for the generosity of America to alleviate. It is to be feared, moreover, that some of the people who are asking the American people to fare abroad as crusaders, overlook the gravity of home problems, which, if not solved within the next few years, may send this republic on the rocks. Have the American people met all the claims upon their aid and cooperation which may fairly be made within the borders of this republic and upon this continent? The American people do not want to shirk any responsibility that has or may properly come to them as the result of the World war. Many of us cannot comprehend, however, the talk of those who seem to think that we have earned by the great sacrifices of blood and treasure made in the great conflict, sacrifices which saved Europe from the domination of an autocratic military power, the duty of making further sacrifices while our associates in the war are busily engaged in annexing territory and indemnities. There is a mawkish sentimentality to which some people are given that may lead an individual, as well as a nation, far astray. We have had a great deal of this over-wrought sentimentality on tap during the whole war period. It is high time for the re-environment, in our national thinking, of old-fashioned common sense. The American people and the American government have near at home duties far more important than that of propping up artificially created nations in Europe. We are willing to go to the border line of safety in extending help to the poor and oppressed peoples of Europe. This has been demonstrated so often that such an assertion is not open to question by any reasonable person. Risking the peace and safety of this country by thrusting our nation into the maelstrom of European political intrigue, backed by bayonets and battleships, is quite another matter. We all have a right to be generous, but not with the interests and ideals of this republic of ours. In the borders of this republic, in our island possessions in Mexico, gratifying degree of cooperation on the part of packers of ripe olives in improving methods to such an extent that danger from botulinus poisoning in future packs will be eliminated. Very extensive investigations have been made by scientists from the bureau of chemistry with the cooperation of the packers and the packers have also employed specialists to study the causes of botulinus poisoning and the precautions which should be employed to prevent further difficulty. The experts agree that the trouble is not inherent in the type of container used. Whether the olives be packed in glass jars or in tin cans they may be rendered absolutely safe if proper precautions are taken to prevent the infection with bacteria during the handling and if the packages when filled are sterilized at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient period of time. It is entirely practicable, say the specialists, to subject both glass containers and tin cans to a temperature high enough to insure absolute sterilization. Unfortunately, some packs of ripe olives put up in glass as well as some in tin during past seasons were not prepared with all the precautions now known to be essential and were not sterilized at a sufficiently high temperature and some of these goods in glass were responsible for the fatalities. It has been found that of all the ripe olives on the market but an extremely small number actually contained bacillus botulinus. Of more than 2000 individual packages collected and examined in the bureau of chemistry, but eight were found to contain bacillus botulinus, and seven of these were from the output of one manufacturer and from one batch of his output. In addition to these eight, the bureau has examined samples of some of the olives responsible for the fatalities and also has found bacillus botulinus in these specimens. ger from any ripe olive which has Since there is a possibility of dan being insufficiently sterilized, the bureau of chemistry has suggested to the industry that all ripe olives in glass or in tin, whenever located, be carefully inspected and that any which show the slightest degree of decomposition be destroyed. It has further suggested that all ripe olives which have not been processed at a sufficiently high temperature be returned to the packers for immediate processing. tact than ever before, thereby promoting harmonious action in matters of common interest. It must be admitted that the merchant whose taxes help to build highways, pave and light the streets, maintain police and fire protection, support hospitals, schools, parks and like conveniences should appeal to the residents of his town in a way never possible in the case of a catalogue house. The man who depends on the merchant of his home town to help make that town possible should deal with that merchant, if that merchant either has on his shelves or will order the products desired and sell them at a consolonable price. There would be much consternation if the nearest drug store were a mail order house in San Francisco, the nearest grocery store in New York or Chicago; yet continuous buying abroad tends to bring about the very condition suggested. We should all strive to make it possible for the merchants of our town to conduct creditable stores. The home merchant should be encouraged and we should, by preference, deal with those whose contributions help to pay for all the state and municipal comforts we enjoy, those who sit with us in churches and lodges, who hold vigils over us when we are ill, who become pall-bearers when the curtain rings down on our lives, and protects our loved ones, and possibly give them employment, when we are gone. PROGRESS IN OCEAN SHIPPING Although the United States is still far from carrying a due proportion of its foreign trade in ships bearing the American flag, it is evidently making rapid progress in that direction. According to statistics compiled by the American consul general at London for the first three months of the calendar year 1870, American entries exceed than ships material demonstrated so often that such an assertion is not open to question by any reasonable person. Risking the peace and safety of this country by thrusting our nation into the maelstrom of European political intrigue, backed by bayonets and battleships, is quite another matter. We all have a right to be generous, but not with the interests and ideals of this republic of ours. In the borders of this republic, in our island possessions, in Mexico, in Cuba, on the Isthmus of Panama, on the two continents of this hemisphere, are duties and responsibilities enough for the American people. Those who would lead this nation out of the old pathways and put its feet on the devious road of Old World politics, merely do not comprehend the mission of this republic. They are of the Old, and not of the New world. They are too much affected by European ideas, European ideals, European propaganda; too much influenced by the overwrought sentimentality carefully propagated by alien and domestic interests which have their own selfish ends to serve and are willing to make well meaning men and women their dupes in achieving these sinister purposes. Let us stand by the Americanism of the founding fathers of this republic, and of the great line of American heroes and martyrs who have come after them—who have fought and wrought that this nation might live in the fulfillment of the mission for which it was established. Let us serve the world by the upholding of an ideal and the power of a great example. Let us hold fast to the fundamentals of the faith of Washington and Lincoln and Roosevelt. Let us keep our America free from the entanglements of European politics, with its age-old hatreds and rivalries, its racial and dy Since there is a possibility of dap been insufficiently sterilized, the bureau of chemistry has suggested to the industry that all ripe olives in glass or in tin, whenever located, be carefully inspected and that any which show the slightest degree of decomposition be destroyed. It has further suggested that all ripe olives which have not been processed at a sufficiently high temperature be returned to the packers for immediate reprocessing at a sufficient temperature to insure complete sterilization. With few exceptions the olive packers have mots heartily fallen in with all suggestions made in the interest of the public safety and by mutual agreement entered into by practically all of the packers they now are taking steps to withdraw from the market all ripe olives in glass containers which have not been sterilized. TRADING AT HOME In connection with current discussions of the high cost of living there is renewed interest in the "trade-at-home movement." Several recent civic club activities looking to community betterment, activities nation-wide in their scope, emphasize the desirability of trading at home. The sponsors of this movement maintain that closer relations between buyer and seller will do much to curb profiteering and abolish suspicions of unfair dealing. Ex-Secretary Franklin K. Lane and Charles Edison, son of Thomas Alva Edison, have lately given considerable attention to subject akin to home trading and the building up of community centers. Wholly aside from the economic questions involved, there is apparently a desire to bring residents of given districts into closer con- PROGRESS IN OCEAN SHIPPING Although the United States is still far from carrying a due proportion of its foreign trade in ships bearing the American flag, it is evidently making rapid progress in that direction. According to statistics compiled by the American consul general at London for the first three months of the calendar year 1920, American entries at British ports increased 900 per cent and clearances increased 870 per cent as compared with the first quarter of 1919. During the same time British tonnage entering the ports of the United Kingdom increased only 27 per cent. These percentages, however, are more impressive than the actual tonnage. American ships which entered British ports with cargoes during the first three months of 1919 aggregated 59,082 tons. For the corresponding period of 1920 the total was 540,000 tons. During these same three months British entries aggregated 4,909,000 tons in 1919 and 5,833,000 tons in 1920. Statistics concerning our foreign trade during the entire year 1919 show that the combined entrances and clearances of American ports were recorded in the proportion, in round numbers, of 47,000,000 tons American and 51,000,000 tons foreign. This includes our total ship borne foreign trade, the greater portion of which, in respect of tonnage, was with eastern Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and Birtish Columbia. Our trade with Europe was carried in the proportion of 9,780,000 tons in American and 27,000,000 tons in foreign bottoms. Even on the Pacific our foreign trade is carried largely in foreign vessels. This is particularly noticeable.

During the calendar year 1919 ships entered at American ports from Japan aggregated 582,256 tons, of which 606,028 tons was in foreign ships and only 76,228 tons in ships carrying the Stars and Stripes. Clearances from America in trade with Japan show that out of a total of 1,187,450 tons, 943,956 tons were in foreign bottoms and 243,494 tons in American. These figures are of particular interest in view of the estimate made by Henry C. Wiltband for the committee of American shipbuilders that the United States paid last year more than $700,000,000 for the carrying of American foreign commerce in ships owned and operated under the flags of other nations. It is not to be expected that the commerce of the United States will be carried entirely in American ships. Since other nations have an equal interest, we can expect to carry only slightly more than half our commerce in our own ships. A hundred years ago approximately 90 per cent of our foreign commerce was carried in American ships. misunderstood by holders of bonds who are not familiar with financial matters. They take alarm and feel that they must sell their bonds "before they go lower in price." That is false reasoning and, if adopted, it causes unnecessary loss to individuals who cannot afford to lose even one dollar. All that is necessary is to hold all bonds. The market price is partly manipulated and partly a result of excessive selling by persons who may be ignorant or too hard pressed. But the market price need have nothing to do, with any bondholder. He is not concerned with the depth of a railroad cut if he is on a stout bridge, his only concern being the journey across the bridge. Similarly the only concern of a bondholder is to collect the coupons and the bond in full when due. The price might sag to nothing, but that means nothing if the owner does not sell. The United States is a strong bridge that will carry the bond across to maturity, exactly on the level and without regard to the depth of the chasm that is crossed. United States is still due proportion of men ships bearing the is evidently making that direction.

It is not to be expected that the commerce of the United States will be carried entirely in American ships. Since other nations have an equal interest, we can expect to carry only slightly more than half our commerce in our own ships. A hundred years ago approximately 90 per cent of our foreign commerce was carried in American ships. We can reasonably expect, therefore, to carry half of our European and Asiatic trade and practically all our South American and North American trade in American vessels. By this means we will save a large porportion of the $700,000,000 we are now paying to foreign investors in ocean transportation. The increase of 900 per cent in the number of American vessels entering British ports must not deceive us into the notion that we have achieved success, for we are still paying foreign ships for carrying nearly three-fourths of our trade with Europe. DON'T SELL YOUR BONDS The market price for Liberty bonds is quite low. Evidently many owners of bonds are selling these securities. If they are not compelled by dire necessity to let go of their holdings, they are foolish to sell, for the bonds are worth 100 cents on the dollar, and will bring that if they are held. In addition, they yield interest at a fair rate, and no pledge on earth is more sure. If the United States lives, the bonds will be paid in full, interest and principal. Of what other security in the world can this be said with equal assurance? A decrease in market price is often Radio instruction in the navy is now open to all young men who want to learn the art of sending and receiving messages through the air, according to L. Pinkham, in charge of the navy recruiting office at room 224, W. H. Spurgeon building, Santa Ana. Knowledge of the code or anything whatever in connection with radio work is not necessary. The navy will take young men and put them through the courses, giving full instructions in this department. Young men of 17 may now join the navy, where consent is given by parent or guardian, the age limit herefore having been 17. A boy of this age can enlist for a period of three years or may enlist for four years, or until he is 21 years of age. Reservists re-entering for active service are given a bonus of four months pay. Now that there is talk of a wave of price-cutting in a large area of the country, it is to be noticed that Attorney General Palmer is trying to maneuver himself into a strategic position where he can make claims and to say he is the man who did it.
