OIL LAND LEASING BILL

Chairman Sinnott of the Public
Lands Committee of the house has
called meeting of his committee
to take up consideration of the
Smoot oil land leasing bill which
passed the senate on September 3.
Committee will take UP the bill on
September %, using senate bill as
basis for consideration.
An erroneous impression seems to
be prevalent that if the oil leasing
extra session of congress it will have
to be reintroduced again as new
measure at the next regular session.
This is not so. The bill can keep
it's regular place on the calendar
until the adjournment of the life Of
the present congress in March, 1921.
Nevertheless, great deal of pres
sure is being eXerted upon congress
for haste. Aside from considerations
of politics there are influences, eco
nomic and industrial, that are loudly
calling for action. Representatives of
the state of Wyoming have shown
that the state treasury is being de-
prived of millions of dollars annually
by reason of the delay.
The bill provides that 45%o of the
royalties received from oil lands
shall be paid to the state within
which the lands are situated, the
money to be used for construction or
maintenance of public roads or for
the support of public schools and
public educational institutions.
The majority leader in the House,
the man who has more power than
any other member in the matter of
legislation, is Representative Frank
w. Mondell of Wyoming, and he is
whole-heartedly for the Smoot bill,
efits for his state. The measures
prospects improve with each hour

OIL PRODUCTION is A
GREAT ECONOMICAL PROBLEM

Never before has the oil industry
been forced to struggle so valiantly
to keep pace with the demand for its
product. 1t is not the oil producer
alone. but the refiner as we'll who is
helping solve one of the greatest
economic problems of the world.
Although since 1914 the number
of automobiles in the United States
has increased from about 100000
to 6,146,000, the nations annual pro-
duction of oil has grown only to
345, 100000 barrels from 265, 5,7OO,-
900 barrels
Gasoline production, however, has
been increased from ,46O,O37,2OO
gallons in 1914 to 3,579, ,312,963 gal
Ions in 1918.
Both the oil refiners and produc-
ers have played leading parts in in
creaslng the gasoline yield. The
process Of cracking" has been the
most important factor "Cracking" is
a method of breaking up by extreme
heat and pressure the molecules of
the heavier derivatives Of crude oil
and thereby producing gasoline.
From gas oil, for instance, large
percentage of gasoline now is OBJ
Calned by using cracking processes.
So profitable has Cracking" be-
come that there are refineries in the
United States that handle no crude
oil, but purchase from other refin-
cries the oil after the first plant has
extracted all the gasoline obtainable
by old methods. Cracking plants
are becoming more and more numer-
Gus, and the method of extraction
must become still more general in
order to cope with the gasoline pro-
duction problems that each year is
becoming more serious.
The oil producers are playing their
part not only by increasing the out
put of crude, but by obtaining gaso-
line from casing-head gas. Casing
head gas is the gas that comes from
an oil we'll This gas sometimes is
exceedingly rich in gasoline
The amount of gasoline obtainable
by a process of compression and
condensation-from casing-head gas
varies roughly from two to eight gal
Ions from each thousand cubic feet
of gas. This gasoline is of extreme
ly high grade and must be mixed
with heavier petroleum derivative
before being put on the market.

TUNGSTEN BILL
PASSED HOUSE

FASSED HOUSE
Tungsten won the first victory for
protection on War minerals when
the Timberlake Tungsten bill, provid-
ing for $40 per unit of tungsten con-
tent in raw ore and ST per pound of
metallic content in products and al
loys, passed the house with a vote
of 173 for the mill and 121 against
it.
The bill was bitterly fought on the
floor of the house by it's opponents,
no less than six different amend
ments being proposed, the adoption
of any one Of which would have
nullified the entire effect of the bill
One whole day was consumed in de-
feating these various amendments
While the bill has yet to pass the
senate and be signed by the presi-
dent, its passage in the house is a
most signal victory for all mining
interests seeking such protection,
where it blazes the trail for future
legislation of this kind and estab-
fishes new precedent for protective
tariff.
A most commendable amendment
was introduced by the champions of
the bill, which passed and became
part Of the bill. This amendment
provides:
"Sec. 2. That there shall be levied
assessed and collected upon all tung-
stem ore and concentrates which have
been imported prior to the passage
OF this act from any foreign country
and held or kept within the United
States, when such ore has been pur-
chased by the owner thereof at
price less than SIT per unit of tung-
stem trioxide therein contained, a tax
equal to the difference between the
purchase price SO paid by the owner
and the price named above in this
section"
This prevents large stocks of ore
being imported pending this act be-
coming a law. Such importations
might have come in such quantity as
to defeat the purpose of this bill for
year or more.
Letters Of commentator and ap-
proval from mineral producers to the
men who championed this bill on the
floor of the house would be well re
ceived as a recognition of their Wig
orous and tireless efforts for the
mining industry. These letters should
be addressed to Hon. Charles Tim
berlake and to Hon. Joseph w.
Fordney, House Office Building,

nOn-metaIIlc rock.
Modern smelling and concentrates
which brings the ore out in it's
pure form-has also made rapid
strides in obtaining more metal at
less cost.
All in all the modern mining in
dustry has achieved it's substantial
proportions and been put on its
present high plane of efficiency by
keeping step with the strides Ameri-
can business has made in the indus
trial world. The modern producing
mine, with it's future ore supply
blocked out is, as Herbert Hoover
says, "a more profitable business
and one of less hazards than COM
petitive forms of commercial enter
prise"

Ford's Lawyer Asks Judge
to Tell Jury Article Libelous

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Aug. 7.-Coun-
sci in the libel suit of Henry Ford
against the Chicago Daily Tribune
yesterday presented to Judge Tuck
er their requests in the matter of
the courts instructions to the jury.
The jurors were not present, but
returned when arguments opened.
Attorney Alfred j. Murphy pre-
sented seventy requests on behalf of
the plaintiff. They asked that the
court instruct the jury that the Tri-
bune charge, Ford is an anarchist -
is libelous on the face of it, without
further proof; and that among other
libels were reference to Mr.. Ford as
IAN anarchistic enemy of the ma
tion," "a man so ignorant as Henry
Ford" and IAN ignorant idealist."
Attorney Murphy insisted that the
jury be charged that only the COM
mon meaning of the word "anar-
chist" be considered, and denied that
the right of fair comment applied
to the plaintiff because he was not
a public official.
IL charge you that none of the
articles attributed to Mr.. Ford tend
to show that he is an anarchist. "

VOODOOISM
IS SPREADING
THROUGH CUBA
Fathers and Mothers Live in
Constant Fear For Their
Children

Havana, Cuba, Aug. with the
recent sudden outbreak of cannibal-
istic practices by Voodoo worship
ers, which have resulted in the
deaths of at least three innocent
children and q half dozen of the
Voodoos, the latter by the applica-
tion of lynch" law for the first
time in this country's history, faith
ers and mothers are living in con-
stant fear that their little ones may
be spirited away by the superstl-
tious negroes to be offered up in
sacrifice to Change" the god of the
"Brujos", as they are called in the
Castillian language.
The Voodoos are divided in va
rious sects, each with its separate
god. The latter include "Baba-
gueye," god of sickness: "Elecua,'
god of injury; "Olorrun," god OF
misery, and Change" the terrible
god, to whom human sacrifices are
made.
Change" according to the Voo-
doc belief, was the son of Olorrun
and Anaragua. He was slain by
Elecua, the god of injury" and as
cended into Heaven from a Ceiba,
or god-tree, in the month of May.
1t is in the month of May therefore,
that the "Brujos" observe their Holy
week when Change is expected TO
make a weekly visit to the earth,
descending by the Ceiba, his sacred
tree, always on Monday.
The followers of Elacua do not
directly offer human sacrifices, az
though their healers sacrifice the
lives of some patients, by giving
them poisonous connections, sup
posedly mysterious cure for some
ailment, in order to restore to health
some other patient, Elecua, being
the God of Injury" his followers
believe that good can come to one
person only through injury to an
other.
Voodooism is not practiced by the
negroes alone. Many white persons
also are said to secretly take part
in their religious meetings and ac-
cusations have been heard in va
rious quarters of the difficulties en-
countered by officers seeking to
break up their temples because of
the obstacles placed in their way
by persons of influence.
An active campaign by the au-
thorities in Havana and other parts
of the island have resulted in the
capture of numerous "Brujos' and
the seizure of many curious and
weird objects used by them.

German Potash Is
Demanded by Farmers

Washington, Aug. IA new fac
tor in the cost of living was present.
ed yesterday in a form of warn
ing from the National Grange and
the National Board of Farm Organi-
cations, claiming to speak for mill
lions of American farmers, that
suffering for the whole people by
further serious increases in living
costs" will result from the failure
of the government to remove the
import embargo on German potash,
so as to permit the importation of
10000 tons of that agricultural ne
cessity from Germany.
In joint letter to Vance McCor-
mick, chairman of the War Trade
Board, the two farmers organiza-
tions said the present plight of the
farmer in regard to fertilizer is an
intolerable one, and the ban on
German potash is continued in or
der that a small group Of Tnanufac-
turers may secure a monopoly"
