WIDE OIL LEASE
INQUIRY REJECTED
Supreme Court Denies Plea
for Study of All Granted
Under Harding Order.

A Federal Government petition
which would have involved a. sweep
ing inquiry into the legality of all
the oil leases granted under President
Harding's celebrated executive order
was rejected today by the Supreme
Court.
The court refused to review the
BELGRADE Oil Co. case, in which the
crucial issue was whether the Presl'
dent had authority to transfer the
naval oil reserves from the CUSTODY OF
the NAVY Department to that of the
Interior Department.
Given Without Bidding.
The Belgrade lease. like that given
Edward T.. Doheny, was on land in
the Elk Hills reserve in California
The Government charged that the
lease had been made. without request.
ing proposals, without advertising ana
without competitive bidding, by dlrec'
tion of Albert B. Fall while Secretary
of the Interior. The lower court de
cided against the Government.
Despite a request that the Slnclair
oil lease cancellation proceedings pe
suspended until the Doheny cancer
Iation suit is decided. the Supreme
Court today ordered Government
counsel to file their papers IN the
Sinclair case by December 3.
This suit involves Sinclairs. lease
to Teapot Dome. The Oil man is ap-
healing from a lower court decision
holding the lease invalid, and Decem-
her will be the last date on which
the Government will be permitted TO
file objections to the petition for ap-
peal. ..,
The Doheny suit also is a civil
proceeding involving the validity TO

During that time 1875 permits were
renewed.
Mr.. Eldridge explained that motorists
having old permits can apply for re-

Dairy Cow Has Financed
Farmers When Needed

Farmers realized nearly as much
from dairy cows during 1925 as from
their corn and wheat crops combined,
according to figures issued by the N;i-
tional Dairy council.
According to careful estimates based
on investigation, the farm value of I'LL
dairy products for the year 1925, is
$2,7OO,O0O,O00. This is only about
$200,OOOO0O less than the total farm
value of wheat and corn, the govern
ment estimate of the combined farm
value Of the latter being $500, $50,
600.
''But the important fact" states NJ
D. Mum, president of the National
Dairy council, sistthat American farm
ers have marketed their dairy prod
ucts day by day throughout the year
without any accumulated surplus on
their hands and have thus received
funds with which they have been able
to live and help finance their other
farm operations, while they still have
much of their corn and wheat on hand.
This vast sum Of nearly two and
three-fourths billions has financed d.
versitied farming in this country and
relieved agriculture from what would
otherwise have been insurmountable
difficulties, especially in view of the
accumulated surplus of grains to-
gether with the low prices that now
prevail. In addition to the cash return
to the farmer through the dairy COW he
has also been supplied with dairy
products Ter his own family use, which
have materially assisted in reducing
living expenses"
