other amendments, the house bill
authorizing the withdrawal OF public
lands by the president, passed the sen
ate yesterday.
Among the more important proyi
sions rejected was an amendment by
| Senator Beyeridge specifically with
drawing from entry the coal lands ol
Alaska, and another by senatord Gore
bringing the friar lands Of the Philip
pines within the operation Of the
general laws OF those islands. There
was no roll call on the final passage
of the bill.
The land bill was taken up soou
after the senate convened yesterday

that all the members Of the commits

lease, Senator Beyeridge said that !!
the principal included in the amend

States fifty years ago, sufficient re-
turns would have been insured to pay
off the national debt and pay most Of
the taxes Of all the people.
In the course of a colloquy with Mr.,
Beyeridge Mr. Borah charged that the
policy was to close up the western
coal mines in the interest Of the east
ern mines. He said that the leasing
system would result inevitably in plac'
ing the control of the mines In the
hands Of few men. Taking up Mr.,
Borah's contention. Mr. Carter de
