STATES.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Three months
of pickering and an almost unhreak-
able deadlock on the oil land leasing
bill have ended through agreement 10y
House and Senate conferees on the
legislation. Senator Smoot, Republic
can of Utah. chairman Of the Senate
mana gers, announced the conference
report would be submitted to the
House and nm effort made to obtain
immediate consideration.
The agreement of the conferc"s is
expected tu be approved with little OPP
position by both the House and Sen
ate, thereby completing legislation
which has been pending for the last
ten years and which would open up for
development approximately I5.ooo,oDo
acres of public domain in western
states. Last session, Il similar hill was
passed but the Seuatc'S failure Ia
adopt the conference report in the jam
of legislation at the close of the SOS
sion prevented final enactment.
As now proposed the bill affects oil,
coal, gas, phosphate, sodium, and oil

measure. all provisions for outright
sale having been eliminated. Under
the measure approximately i4,OD,OOO
acres of government coal land alone
would be opened for development AS
well as about 100000 acres of oil
lands.
As agreed ON by the confcrc"s the

the Senate provisions providing maxi
mum royalties having been eliminated.
In the matter of contested claims on
oil. the conferecs agreed upon 40 per
cent of the royalty received on past
production going to the reclamation
fund, 20 per cent to the states in which
the oil was produced and 10 per cent
to the government.
Under another compromise all roy
alties derived from oil, gas, coal, phos-
piate and sodium produced in the fu-
ture will be distributed J2l2 per cent
to the reclamation fund. 371a per cent
to the state and 10 per cent TO the gov
crnment
The compromised measure also pro-
vides that the total amoun$ of the roy
altics 10 be paid shall be determined
by competitive bidding or by methods
to be prescribed by the secretary of
the interior. For oil lands a maxi
mum of 5000 acres may be leased at
minimum royalty of 12R per cent.
The maximum for coal lands is 2,38D
acres with a minimum royalty of 3
cents per ton. The same acreage is
prescribed for phosphate and sodium,
but J,120 acres of oil shale lands can
