DAWSON TO TEST 1T.
Will Ascertain Whether Governors
Veto of Two Bills Was Legal.

John S. Dawson, attorney general,
has brought the suit to test the legal
ity of the veto of the inheritance tax
law and the law to increase the salary
of the attorney general and his assist
ants. The suit is an application for a
writ of mandamus in the supreme
court to compel the secretary of state
to publish in the statute book the two
laws which the governor vetoed.
The inheritance tax law was passed
by both branches March and was
not vetoed until March IA. The at
torney general believes that the last
date when the governor could veto
the bill was March 9.
On the attorney general salary bill
the governor vetoed it March 13 and
the attorney general believes that the
time limit expired March IL, SO that
the governor was two days late with
his veto and the law really had taken
effect before the veto was signed.

HAS COAL TO BURN.
The Government Owns Hundreds OF
Billions Tons.

Washington, March 20.-Hundreds
of billions tons of coal contained in
the vast area of coal lands in the west,
consisting of more than seventy mil
lion acres, are owned by the United
States government. according to an
announcement of the United States
geological survey. Some tracts are of
immense value, containing beds of the
highest grade of coal in veins from
thirty to eighty feet in thickness.
BY new method of selling this
coal land the government will gain
an enormous amount of money. The
old way was to sell the coal land re-
gardlesS of value, at $40 an acre, If
more than fifteen miles from rail-
read or about $50 within that limit.
New the geological survey measures
the coal in an acre and the land Is
seld on coal tonnage basis. As a re-
suit coal lands have been priced as
high as $400 an acre and in one tract
at even $500.
During the last year the geological
survey has classed by Individual 40
acre tracts SPIT, 166 acres of the gov
ernment coal lands with a total value
of $3.50, ,S15,0S1 and this added to the
results of former work gives a total
of 13,480 acres 534, classified as coal
lands with a valuation of $637. .619, AIS.
By the old methods these would have
had a valuation of $21S. S.2S9. .942,
Which shows a net gain to the gov
ernment of nearly 420,000,000, all
proceeds of coal land sales are de-
posted to the credit of the irrigation
reclamation fund"
