U. S. SUPREME COURT
DECIDES IMPORTANT CASE

The decision of the supreme court
last week in the case of the State
of New Mexico VS.. George A. Keep
ers, of Gallup, New Mexico, which
dismisses the case of the state, may
be of great Importance as it may
involve the loss to the state of
several hundred sections of land
which contain, or are alleged to con-
tain coal.
In this case the land involved
rs one of the school sections grant,
ed to the state of New Mexico by
the act of June Fl. 1893. and the
enabling act. A portion of the
town of Gallup is situated on this
land.
In 1910 George A. Keepers, Jr., ap-
piled to purchase l20 acres of land
on this Section l6 as coal lands
under the u. S. coal land law. The
state of New Mexico and others
protested against the allowance of
this coal application of Keepers on
the ground that the land was not
coal in character and not valuable
for coal land but was valuable solely
as a townsite. After a hearing be-
fore the local land office a decision
was rendered on the opinion of
Cludius J. Neis, legal adviser, giving
Keepers the land. Upon appeal to
the commissioner of the general land
office one 40-acre tract was award
ed the state and two 40-acre tracts
were given to Keepers. The case
being appealed to the secretary of
the interior, that department by its
decision awarded 80 acres of the
land to the state and 40 acres to
Keepers. Later a bill was filed in
the U. S. supreme court by the state
of New Mexico seeking to defeat
Keepers entry for the remaining 40
acres and to confirm the tit,e there
in to the state of New Mexico. This
bill has been dismissed by the
supreme court thus allowing the
Keepers entry to remain intact as
an application to purchase this 40
acres under the coal land laws. The
point on which the bill was dis
missed by the supreme court is not
yet known in the office of the COM
missioner of public lands but copies
of the decision are expected soon.

NEW LAW REGULATING
SALE OF STATE LANDS

The new law which makes some
changes in the present system OF
selling state land will be of great
interest to many lessees and ap-
plicants.
The principal changes are that one
twentieth of the purchase price may
be paid down instead of n tenth.
and that the land becomes taxable
as soon as sold.
The Act was approved March IL,
and is as follows:
Section 1. From and after the
approval of this Act, state lands
shall be sold for cash or upon pay
ment of one-twentieth of the pur-
chase price in cash, and the balance
at any time within thirty years from
/, the date of the contract. Deferred
payments shall bear interest at the
rrate of four per centum, and such
interest shall be payable annually
in advance, commencing with the
date of the contract. Interest due
and unpaid shall bear interest at the
rate of one per centum per month
until paid
Section 2. At any time after sale
and prior to the expiration of thirty
years from the date of the contract,
the purchaser or his successor in
interest may pay all or any part OF
the purchase price due on any. con-
tract for purchase Of state lands,
but no payment shall be accepted,
other than the first payment, for
less than one-thirtieth of ninety-five
per centum of the purchase price,
nor be effective for credit on any
date other than the anniversary OF
the date of the contract next fol-
lowing the date of tender.
Section 3. All lands sold under
the provisions of this Act, OF for
which existing contracts are changed
in conformity herewith, shall be as
sessed for taxation at their full
value, which shall in no case be
more or less than similar lands of
the same character shall be required
to pay, and failure TO pay srch
taxes shall work, a forfeiture of
the contract.
Section 4. That contracts for the
purchase of state lands now out
standing shall, upon application of
the holders thereof and payment of
a fee of four dollars for each con-
tract of one section or less, and
cents for each additional Sec
ton or fraction thereof, be can
celled, and new contracts issued I'M
der the provisions of this Act. in lieu
of such outstanding contracts. Pro-
vided. That the provisions of this
Act shall not be applicable to lands
selected for the benefit of the San
ia Fe and Grant County Railroad
Bond Fund, but such lands shall
be sod as provided by Section $3.50
of the Code of 1915, and outstanding
for such lands shall not
be subject to the provisions of this
section.

MUST WORK TOGETHER.

For much of the lack of harmony between
the administration and congress the president
is to blame Mr.. Wilson likes to go his owr
way, and he seems to expect that congress Will
| follow and not ask too many questions. The
administration is responsible for the conduct OF
the war, but congress must find the means
| with which its plans are to be carried out, and
its desire to be consulted, to be taken into the
presidents confidence, are both natural and
icommendable.
Senator Weeks pointed the way to better
understanding when, in the course Of a debate
on the bill appropriating vast sum for the ex-
traordinary expenses of the army and navy,
he said that while the bill provided more in
the civil war, he had no knowledge of the de-
tails of the measure, Much of the senate's
time might be saved, he added, if features of
the bill were explained. And Senator Lodge
went straight to the source of much Of the
friction between the executive and the legisla-
tive branches of the government when he de-
clared: ''Under the pressure of war we are
having demands made upon us for power to be
vested nominally in the president, but really in
cabinet officers and the heads Of departments,
heads of bureaus, and commissions, creatures
of the moment in the last few months, which
equal the powers exercised by the great autoc-
racy of Germany. Those things ought to be
carefully considered.
They must be carefully considered, and the
and congress must work to-
gether if the United States is to get anywhere
in the business now in hand. Effective team
work will be out of the question if the presi-
dent persists in keeping to himself the things
which congress must know before it can act in

HAvNERlrls DIAGNOSED.
Why Our Attorney General is Put.
ting Burden on the People
of Iowa.

] Des MoineS Capital: 1t would no,
be bad idea to amend the constitu
ton of the state as follows:
.No man, after having filled the Of
| flee of attorney general of the state
shall ever be eligible to election To
the office of governor of the state"
If the above provision were in the
Iowa constitution, attorney generals
might not be anxious to devote their
time and those of their assistants to
ward the enforcement of statutes
seventy years of age, statutes which
were enacted at the time the streams
of Iowa were crossed in ferries and
not on bridges.
1t is mean to say that man does
anything while in Office for the sake
of securing another Office. This may
be striking below the belt. but the al
torney general, when he goes to fer
ret cut crime, first searches for the
motive. The motive sets up a prob
ability, and the governorship in the
case at bar may be the, motive.
At any rate, ATTORNEY General
Havner ought not to distract the peo-
pie of Iowa at che present time, and
under present circumstances. This
state is getting ready for a great
war. Our sons are going away to bat
tie. We are trying to raise money
with which to sustain the govern
ment. We are preparing to grow
foodstuffs with which to feed the
armies of our own country and Of
our allies. We can hardly under

stand the attorney generals mental
ity. We cannot realize that man
can switch his mind on to the prop
osition relative to closing cigar stores
and ice cream parlors when the coun-
try is preparing to struggle for It's
life. We certainly beg Of our attor-
ney general to discontinue this pro-
ceeding. He ought to go out on the
stump to assist in enlistiSg soldiers
and in selling bonds.
This state has neglected few
foolish paragraphs in her code for
seventy years. This is a poor time
to be resurrecting these annoying
statutes There is no clamor from
the churches; there is no great de-
mand from any source. The attorney
general could suspend action in the
name of our common country, and
thus confer favor upon all the peo-
