FORMER SENATOR AND GOV.
ERNOR ADDRESSES MEET
INC OF WESTERN GOVERN.
ORS AS AGENT OF THE
PRESIDENT.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 26.-Sug-
gestion that the surface rights of
the remaining unappropriated, un-
reserved public lands should, SUBJ
gect to certain details for protec-
ton of homesteaders and the small
er stockmen, be transferred to the
state governments for public school
purposes and thus be placed under
state administration, was made to-
day by President Hoover in a let
ter read at the conference of west
ern governors by Joseph M. Dix
on, assistant secretary of the in
terror.
Government May Aid
A hint that the federal govern
ment may be willing to alleviate
conditions in public land states
caused by the Hoover oil policy an
nounced last March, also was given
in the letter.
The president stated that the oil
edict has restored the position "to
point where measures can be
discussed which will further effec-
tually conserve the national re-
sources, and at the same time take
account of any necessity for local
supplies"
With the evident purpose of join
ing their interests in support of
development of the public domain
and the natural resources within
their boundaries, the governors and
representatives of western public
land states gathered to hear Frank
.. Emerson, governor of Wyoming,
outline the purposes of a two-day
conference.
Management of public lands, but
not without the cession of the min
eral rights that the federal admin
istration has proposed withholding
continued developments of the oil
resources of the public domain, and
continued reclamation development
were the high lights of Governor
Emerson's suggestions, along with
road building with federal aid.
The latter topic which was the
theme of the opening session, was
developed more extensively by Rep.
Don B. Cotton of Utah, co-outhor
of the Colton-Oddie highway bill to
provide federal funds for building
highways across the public domain
and Indian reservations.
Talk Road Building
The subject of highway building
was further discussed by Henry L..
Blood chairman of the Utah state
road commission and chairman of
the western association of highway
departments who joined with Rep
resentative Cotton in urging a res
olution endorsing the present Col
ton-Oddie bill.
J. D. Wood, commissioner of
public works of Idaho, spoke of the
coordination of highways and air
ways, advocating joint federal and
state development of airways much
as highways are being built
Gov. George H. Dern of Utah
Gov. H. c. Balbridge was named
chairman of the opening session.
Victor Shave, secretary to the gov
ernor of Idaho, was named secre-
tary of the conference.
Says States are Able
Governor Emerson expressed the
opinion that the states are better
able than the federal government
to manage the public lands and
touched upon what had been ac-
complished in his own state with
the income from the public lands
ceded it by the federal government.
without the minerals, however,
no such record could have been

Doubtless, some substitutions

these minerals have been conserved
and guarded by the state.
Of irrigation he enied that the
products of reclamation units are
in competition with other agricul-
ture and decalred that instead they
only supplement them. He referred
to an expected message from the
president in this connection and
added that the federal government
has endeavored to exercise con-
troll IN law that seems to violate
the rights of the states"
Hits Oil Policy :.
Declaring that the newly an
nounced oil conservation policy of
the federal government "has shut
the door to further exploration for
oil in the public land states," he
characterized it as entirely un-
necessary" and declared it will add
nothing to the great national prob
lem of conservation and overpro-
duction of OIL"
He said the Rocky mountain
states "are not producing one drop
of oil that is not being used for a
valuable and useful purpose" and
declared the present policy is due
to misunderstanding on the part
of the administration"
Governors Approve HoOver's Plan
Salt Lake City, Aug. 27.-The
conference of western public land
states Tuesday afternoon unanrm-
ously Endorsed President Hoover's
suggestion for appointment of a
commission to study his proposal
for turning over to these states
surface rights to federal lands, to-
gether with administration recla-
nation projects. 1t recommended
that each governor submit to the
president names of three members
for members of a commission to
study the proposal.
The resolution said that "the
governor and other representatives
of the IL western states of the
west in conference express our
hearty appreciation of the message
of the president of the United
States and our deep interest in the
proposal contained therein, and we
hereby indorse the offer of the
president TO appoint commission
to study western lands and recla-
nation and pledge our co-opera-
ton in the work of such commits
sion."
President Hoover's proposal was
roundly applauded after it had
been explained further by Gov. H.
G. Baldridge of Idaho and Joseph
M. Dixon of Montana, assistant
secretary of the interior.

COLUMBUS, Ind, March 9.-Op-
ponents of a SIS, 1000 bond issue for
the erection of a school building in
German township object chiefly to
the project because a gymnasium
community room is included in the
plans.
This developed at a hearing of
demonstrators before a state tax
board representative.
Ralph Spaugh, counsel for the OBJ
jectors, declared they wanted a new
building, but opposed an expendi-
ture beyond an amount necessary
to provide the township with proper
school facilities. They contend the
$4,000 additional which the GYM
community room would cost is not
justified.
Harry j. Lutherbeck, the tax
board representative, accompanied
by supporter and an opponent of
the bond issue, visited the site of
the proposed school near Taylor
vile. He said he was not in a posi-
ton to say when the board would
decide the matter.

With the filing period for candi-

open, municipal politics throughout
Indiana became active in the clos
ing days of the week, and in various
cities men who have been only in
the mentioned" class are now &C.
tive candidates.
Kokomo Democrats are split into
two factions. One faction declares
it will support no man for the city
Craftsmanship unless he is an Alfred
E. Smith brand of Democrat. The
other faction is for burying the
Ratchet and favors any man for the
post who can lead the party to VIC
tory in the city election.
Opposition to Senator
When the party went into con-
vention today, the name of Fred H.
JesSup, former city attorney, was
connected with the Craftsmanship,
but there is indications he Is not
wanted by the bury the hatchet'
faction. For the same reason,
James P. Davis, state senator from
the Howard Miami district, will find
opposition if he makes the race for
the mayoralty nomination, which
he is said to be contemplating. Will
liam j. Webb, Democratic member
OF the board of works, may seek the
nomination for mayor.
Mayor S. E. Spurgeon apparently
will have little opposition for the
Republican nomination. On the
merely mentioned list as his op-
ponents are Ben Ravens, former
city clerk and postmaster, and
James E. Burrows, former mayor.
Muncie Campaign Opens
Calvin FariS has filed at Muncie
as a Republican candidate for mayor.

in the race for city clerk, as is Ray

Case.

BIZ Times Special
BRAZIL, Ind, March 9.-Judge T.
w. Hutchinson in a sharply worded
statement denies that the Clay Cir
cult court here over which he pre-
sides, is responsible for keeping the
Stout Furniture Company in re-
ownership.
The statement followed receipt
anonymously by the judge of clip
ping from an Indianapolis news
paper a communication to the
publication which criticised ham
ding of receiverShip cases by courts.
Much interest has been manifest
in the Stout case, the company nav
ing been formed for the manufac-
ture of radios and planned to en-
ploy 800 men.
The communication to the news
paper charged Indiana courts make
practice of appointing receivers
which remain in control until COM
panies are drained" of most OF
their assets.
Judge Hutchinson interpreted the
sending of the clipping as refiec-
ton on his court. He explains that
after he had appointed w. w. Car
penter as receiver, the case was
transferred to federal court, thus
passing entirely from jurisdiction of
the Clay circuit tribunal.
Carpenter has filed his final re.
port as receiver and the federal
court has appointed John F. Brown
to the place, following filing of
bankruptcy proceedings.
Before the bankruptcy action was
taken at the instance of a few credi-
tors, the Stout company is said to
have been under consideration as
unit of a large company planning a
merger. Had this deal been made,
many persons in touch with the case
believe the local company would
have been headed toward a pros
porous era.
