this board. The commissioner of
public lands would be retained, but
with reduced powers.
The report also shows that the
state has been proceeding very
slowly in the matter of a classified
ton of state lands. 1t is pointed
out that the 1919 state legislature
passed a law permitting such a
classification and making ample
financial provision; yet in the in
tervening two years nothing has
been done. The bureau recon-
mends that classification be made
now and again every five years.
This would simplify the matter of
appraisals of state lands.
New Mexico is behind in the
matter of conducting the land
sales. In many states, the area
that may be sold under one appli-
cation is. limited to $40 acres, al
though one person may put in any
number of applications. This pre-
vents the bigger stockmen from
|crowding out the smaller by putting
up the land for sale in large areas.
lOf all the states considered, only
Wyoming and New Mexico have
no Limitation upon the amount of
land which may be sold in one
tract. The board recommends
that the New Mexico sales limit be
set at four sections lor 1850 acres.
New Mexico System "Below Par
Considering the amounts re-
ceiyed from rentals, the bureau
shows that the New Mexico system
is hardly on q par with that of
other states. BY chapter 73 OF the
laws of 1917, the minimum rental
charge is fixed at two per cent OF
the true value. The enabling act
fixes the minimum sales value at
iS3 and $5. This would mean a
minimum lease figure of at least
six to ten cents. In actual practice,
the state land office executes leas-
es at five cents per acre for graz
ing land and ten cents for agricul-
tural land.
In Colorado, the rentals for graz
ing lands are eight cents without
water and IL cents with water. The
rental charge for agricultural lands
Is SO cents per acre.
In Idaho, the minimum rental
fee is 10 cents per acre for grazing
lands and 81 per acre for agricul-
tural lands.
Montana charges not less than
five per cent Of the appraised val

HOUSE Committee TAKES initial
STEPS TO AUTHORIZE WILSON TO
CALL DISARMAMENT Conference
Democrats Object To Its Adoption, Contend
ing That Is Might Embarrass the President;
Efforts Will Be Made to Expedite Its Con-
sideration, Members Say.
tBy The associated Press)

Washington, Jan. 15.-Steps
looking toward disarmament were
taken TODAY by the house foreign
affairs committee. which reported
a resolution authorizing President
Wilson to invite all nations to send
delegates to an international con-
vention to consider ways and
means.
Although all members of the
committee voted for the proposal,
democrats objected tc its adoption
now on the ground that 1t might
embarrass the president. They con-
tended it was a question which
should be considered BY President
elect Harding. Chairman Porter,
an advocate of the movement. in
sisted, however, that it was the de-
sire to have the resolution ready
for Mr.. Harding if Mr.. Wilson did
not act on it.
Representative Brooks. republi-
can of Illinois, author of the reso-
luton, announced that efforts
would be madeeto expedite its con-
sideration by the house. There
was no indication of any movement
to get together with the senate,
which has pending a resolution by
Senator Borah. republican, Idaho,
providing for armament reduction
by the United States. Great Britain
and Japan. and a resolution by
Senator Walsh. democrat of Mon
tana, authorizing the president to
appoint q member of the disarma-
ment commission of the league of
nations.
Members of the committee ex-
pressed doubt whether the Brooks
resolution could be voted on at this
sc ssion. Representative Flood of
! Virginia, ranking democrat, said
he saw no reason for the assump-
ton that President Wilson might
pass the question on to Mr.. Hard
ling. The committee defeated an
amendment stipulating that coun-
tries now seeking their independ-
ence should be invited to the con-
ference. y 4
Mrs. Charles Edward Russell Of
the Woman's Peace society express
ed the view that the Borah resolu
| ton in the senate was too limited
ard might breed suspicion in othel
nations. e

The decline of 5.s per cent in

by the board to be the peak OF
