Neutrality-suspicious. some years of
parleying congress has finally agreed
on the conditions under which the gov
eminent will permit the mining of
coal oil, gas, phosphate and sodium
on the public domain. The bill agreed
TO is commonly known as the oil leas-
ing bill. 1t is the expectation of con
EreSS that under the legislation the
natural resources 10 which it relates
will be developed rapidly. The at
tempt 10 fix conditions under which
the government would permit the TAX
ing Of coal, oil, gas, etc, from lands
owned by II was started away back
in the Roosevelt administration. In
every congress since that time the sub
iect has been up. A pending piece of
legislation relates 10 the development
of waterpower ON the public domain
1t seems likely that this legislation
will also be perfected at this session.
Perhaps most interest in the legisla-
ton that has just been completed CEN

domain. All the arrangements for
taking coal rs well as the other de-
posts covered by the legislation will
have TO be made with the secretary

the development of the governments
