BIOLOGISTS THINK
GREAT OIL FIELD
NEAR DUKE CITY

Attorney T. w. Gibson received
yesterday from Senator Fall a copy
OF the coal, oil and gas, phosphate
and sodium leasing bill as it was
passed by congress. The bill is eff
fective, having been signed by the
president.
The provision of the bill of most
general interest is that which pro-
vides that government lands. with
some exceptions, may be leased to
any citizen of the United States or
association of such citizens or to
corporations organized under the
laws of the United States or of any
state or territory.
A citizen or an association of citi-
zens or corporations except rail-
roads may lease not to exceed 1850
acres.
A location notice must first be
placed upon the land upon or near
a monument which must be four
feet high. This notice protects the
locator for thirty days within
which time an application for a
permit to prospect the land for
coal, oil, gas, phosphates or sodium
must be made. Within ninety days
after date of the permit boundaries
of the land must be staked. A we'll
must be drilled to a depth of not
less than 500 feet within six months
from date of permit unless oil or
gas is sooner found in commercial
quantities. Permit protects the
prospector for a period of two
years and within that time a well
or wells must be sunk to a depth
of not less than 1000 feet unless
oil or gas is sooner found in COM
quantities entities the pros
pector to lease.
Municipalities may lease coal
lands for the use of their inhabi-
tants and railroads for their own
use.
Mr.. Gibson was formerly an at
torney for the United States land
office, and says that in the opinion
Of geologists connected with the

lures to the profit of private indus

ton of the federal reserve system
in illustration, saying:
Member banks absolutely con-
troll the distribution of credit which
they make to individuals in the
community and directors of the
member banks are usually com
posed of group of men who con-
troll the great industrial enterprises
of that community. Such enter
prises naturally have a preferential
call upon the credits of the bank
within their control. This, if
not backed by real value, is an in
flation of the volume of currency,
initiation based upon a liability.
Il am reliably informed that the
banks of this country have ad-
vanced a billion and half on cred
it on representations made of a
supposed government liability tol
the insurer of the note. These ac-
ceptances do not represent goods
received by the government or
services rendered to it, and the
treasury has refused to acknowl-
edge any governmental liability at
all. Yet hundreds of millions of
dollars OF reserve notes have been
issued against such bills"
The recent treasury department
ruling that federal reserve banks
might carry liberty bonds as assets
at the price paid when purchased
was an abuse of national credit,
Mr.. Plumb said, as many capitalists
subscribed for bonds at par but had
never paid for them. Such holders
have deposited the bonds with their
notes for re-discount and federal
reserve notes have been issued
against these credits he said.
Deprecated value of liberty
bond issues had caused member
banks great distress" he said, and
ito favor these small groups" the
treasury order was promulgated at
the same time permitting them ito
compel less favored customers to
put up further margins to protect
values" Mr. Plumb ex
pressed the belief that the action of
the treasury was unconstitutional,
and added that the retirement OF
all reserve notes issued against
these obligations would deflate the
national currency by a billion and
a half.
Mr.. Plumb vigorously attacked
pending sedition legislation as "the
first time the law has undertaken
to declare that an injury to prop
erty or an act of hate against prop
erty constitutes sedition against
the government"
"The people have the inalienable.

pie require It," he said. THAT un-
alterable right is now threatened.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Discharge of
the national debt by capital levy
upon property may be necessary,
Glenn Il, Plumb, president of the
Plumb plan league for tri-partite
control of railroads. said in an ad-
dress here tonight before the ALI
American Farmer-Labor Co-opera-
tive conference.
"One problem in meeting the ad-
mitted national Indebtedness Of
$50, 900, 100000" he said, 'is so to
adjust our affairs that the per
cent OF the people owning 60 per
cent of the wealth shall pay their
percentage of this Indebtedness, the
33 per cent of the people owning
35 per cent of the wealth shall pay
the percentage due from them, and
that the 65 per cent of the people
owning per cent of the wealth
shall not be required to pay more
than their proportionate amount of
this Indebtedness.
IF we meet this Indebtedness by
tax on industry we distribute the
liability to each man in accordance
with his purchasing power, When
all is said and done we may be
compelled to accept the solution
already adopted in Germany, and
now considered as inevitable in
Great Britain--the discharge of the
entire national debt by placing
capital levy upon property.
Il do not say that this is the
method that must be adopted. But
in our interests we must study this
question and determine upon the
method which we unitedly recon-
mend for the solution of this prob
lem."
The Farm-Labor conference
looks to the blishment of CO.

said, embracing every step from
the production of raw materials to
manufacture, storage
and distribution to the ultimate
consumer. 1t is hoped to include
