MINERAL DEPOSITS
NEED LEGISLATION
Director Of United States Geo.
logical Survey Recognizes
Necessity Of A Law.
SUCH LAW APPLICABLE
TO OIL AND NATURAL GAS
Leasehold Titles Advocated As
Against Fee Simple In Order To
Prevent MonopoIization BY
Large Holdings.

The legislation most urgently need
ed to provide for the disposition Of
mineral deposits Is law which will
be applica BILE to oil and natural gas.
Legislative action should not be lin
tied to an attempt to revamp the
present law, but should consist Of the
enactment Of an altogether new meas
ure. First, the new law should au'
thorize the issue Of exploratory per-
mits, granting to individuals or assoc
Citations the exclusive privilege Of oc-
cupation, the sole condition of such a
grant being diigent and adequate
prosecution of development work.
measured by the expenditure OF fixed
sums within certain periods, with
possibly the payment OF small fee
to the government In lieu Of such ex-
penditure during the first six months.
The issue OF this permit should pre-
ferably be limited to one to each citi-
zen or association of citizens,
although after the lapse or surrender
of such a permit the former holder
should be allowed to apply for another
exploratory permit.
LEASEHOLD TITLE.
In the second place, the law should
provide that upon discovery the hold
er of the permit be given leasehold
title with royalty varied to meet
local and actual conditions. The
"wildcatter" or prospector in un-
proved country, whether such un-
proved territory is classified on geo.
logic evidence as oil land or not,
should be given special privilege to
Offset his greater risk. This privil-
ege might take the form OF an in
creased acreage, held both under per-
NIT and under lease, or practical
exemption from the payment OF roy
atty, merely a nominal rental being
charged under the lease.
NO MONOPOLIZATION.
The chief advantage of the lease
hold for oil over fee-simple title lies
in the prevention of monopolization
through large holdings. Such large
holdings without production would
be guarded against by a ground rental
sufficiently high to discourage the ac'
quisItlon Of lands except for imme'
diate and continued development
although provision should also be
| made In the lease for surrender under
terms which would protect the gov
ernment. This indirect control o.
development would be preferable Il
the direct enforcement, by forfeiture
of continuous production, which
should be avoided because of the dan
ger OF disturbing the delicate equili
brium between supply and demand.
/ Transfers OF interest, under eithe
permit or lease, should be permitted
because OF the absolute necessity II
most instances of procuring capita
for both drilling and operating an oi
we'll. The law, however, should Sc
forth the purpose OF the control o
such transfer, which would be to pro
vide protection for the origina
locators, most of them men Of small
means, and more especially to insur
the prohibition OF too large holding

MOrganza LeYee Holds.

Water from the break at Torras
reached Morganza tonight, but nearly
all of the women and children had
been removed to places of safety. The
depth this water will reach there in
time is only to be conjectured. No
break in the Morganza levee is feared,
as all weak places have been repaired
and watchmen are constantly on the
alert.
A heavy rain extending over the
Southern portion of the State began
shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon,
and the outlook was regarded as any
thing but encouraging by the engin-
eers, who are making heroic fight
against the constantly rising stages
that have already eclipsed former flood
records by as much as two feet at
places.
