OIL IS
LANDOWNER 5
Supreme Court Gives Title
To Mineral In School
Land To BUYER

Austin, Texas. March 13.-The su-
preme court held yesterday that the
minerals on state lands sold under the
act Of 1883 are the property Of the
purchaser Of the land. that the min
erals went with the land This de-
cision is in the case Of C. D. Green
against J. T. Robson, land commits
sioner. in a petition for a mandamus
which was refused. The question pre-
scented by the case is whether a pur-
chaser, under the act of 1888, Of
school lands from the state, not at the
time of sale known to contain miner
ais. but fairly and in good faith CLASH
fled and sold by the state authorities
as agricultural land. acquired title to
the minerals which might thereafter
be discovered in the land The court
held that the purchaser acquired the
title 10 the minerals.
Green sought q mandamus TO compel
the land commissioner to issue him,
under the act Of 1913, permit TO pros
pect on the land for oil and natural
gas His contention is that, accord
ing TO the act Of 1855. all minerals in
the land. whether known or unknown,
were reserved from the sale Of the
land and that the title is yet in the
state and that under the act OF 1913
the state, through the land commits
sioner, has authority TO grant him a
permit 10 prospect on the land for
the discovery Of oil and gas, and, on
his offer TO comply with the act OF
1913, should issue him such a permit
This convention is not sustained by
the supreme court After citing
numerous decisions and all laws bear
ing on the subject. chief justice Nelson
Phillips. who wrote the opinion, says;
For these reasons we hold that a
purchaser in the position Of Arm
strong Of school lands, under The
legislation Of 1855, acquired title 10
the mineral in the land sold him ana
that it is not subject to any claim by
the state. Such settlers went upon
these lands relying upon the good
faith of the state. It is public history
that in many Instances they have IN
dergone q hard experience Now, after
all this time, when it develops that
these lands have possibly become val
liable. IL is proposed TO deprive them
Of that which makes them valuable
We do not believe the state should be
permitted to so enrich itself at their
expense

According to r E. BIuff, president

receive more representation in the

west Texas has justice in the way Of

BY the constitution OF Texas. the
whole state can have only 81 sena-
tors, and the present senatorial an
poruonment is based on the census
OF 1890, at which time the population
OF Texas was only 3,0fs,71O By the
census OF 1910, the population had IN
creased to 3,S96.542. Nearly half OF
this increase was in four senatorial
districts Of west Texas. the 25th, z6th,
