OBJECTS TO U. S. CONTROL.
Western Executive Thinks States
Should Govern Natural Resources.

MADISON, Wis. November 1.-THE
feeling of the newer western states
that federal control of natural re-
sources places them at a disadvantage
received vigorous expression here to-
day through Gov. William Spry of
Utah, who addressed the governors
conference. In fact, the day was set
aside for consideration of state con-
troll of natural resources" and this
part of the program was interrupted
only by a luncheon at Lathrop Hall.
University of Wisconsin.
Federal control, the western COVER
nor asserted, was inimical to the
growth Of western communities, as he
said it discouraged individual enter
prise. The privately owned resources
of older states, he pointed out, paid
large taxes to the parent states, but
under the federal leasing system. he
said. the commonwealths were deprived
of this revenue.
