New Deal Acts
Due To Expire
Waterway Treaty, Re-
ciprocal Trade, Neu-
trality Among Other
Problems.

Social security, labor legislation,
and new aids for the nation farm
ers stood out today among the
problems facing the incoming
Congress.
A host Of other highly impor-
tant tasks will command attention
from the egisators as a result of
impending expiration of a number
of New Deal emergency statutes.
The almost certain revival of sew
eral hardy legislative perennials
will add to the burden,
The neutrality act dealing with
wars between foreign powers, will
die May l unless revived. This,
coupled with the European situa-
ton and the impending Supreme
Court decision on legislation en-
towering the President to embargo
sales of arms to Bolivia and Para
quay, seems to insure a prominent
place for the neutrality question
on the next congressional agenda.
A new bill to stabilize the giant
soft coal industry has been prom
ised by Senator Guffey, Democrat
of Pennsylvania, co-author of the
invalidated coal control act but,
if it includes tax provisions similar
to its predecessor, the measure will
have TO originate in the House.
Outstanding among expiringi
New Deal laws are those clothing
the President with power to vary
the gold content of the dollar and
to maintain a $4,000, 100000 stab
ilization fund. These will expire
within 10 days after the Presidents
Inauguration oa January 20 unless
Congress acts beforehand.
Almost every month thereafter
until September some important
piece of legislation is scheduled to
terminate, including the Recon-
%struction Finance corporations
authority to provide emergency
financing for agriculture, CONNER
&c, industry, and financial institu-
tons.
The rivilian Conservation corps,
with its 100000 enrollees, needs
new legislation if it is to continue
after March 81. Statutory powers
of the Electric Farm and Home
authority to finance sales expire
on February l; the reduced rate of
interest from farm mortgages
given to Federal land banks and
the three-cent rate for letter post
age both die July 1.
Taxation alone promises to give
the new Congress plenty of work
for, in addition to expiration of a
number of excise levies which pro-
duced about $500, 100000 in the
last fiscal year, there is a strong
likelihood the 1886 tax act with
its levy on corporation SURPRISES
will be subjected to revision.
In view of campaign statements,
same form of crop insurance bill
appears certain, as we'll as some ad-
ditional soil conservation program.
The social security act, center
of a bitter controversy in the cam
paign's closing hours appears due
for some overbauling.
The 30-hour-week bill, side
tracked in two previous Congresses,
still is on the American Federation
of Labor's must" list and Chair
man Conner, Democrat of Massa-j
chusetts, of the House labor COM
mittee has signified his intention of
bringing it up again.

John Smith Finds A Homestead

into $40 acres. So when John
Smith took up 800 acres, he
had a 'fhalf section"
His half section might be
described as the East Half
of Section /. 1t might be
the North Half of Section 1.
1t is easy to recognize any
given half of a section.
However, all nomesteads
were not confined to a sim
pie description. Sometimes
the homesteader had $50 acres
in one section and 100 acres
in the adjoining section. So
it was that he described his
half section as the Northwest
Quarter OF Section / and the
Northeast Quarter of Section
2. A quarter OF a section IS
a fourth of $40 acres, or 100
acres. A quarter of each of
two sections gives him $50
acres.
Perhaps he had only so
acres in section 1 and 240
acres in section 2. That call
ed for this description: the
West Half of the Northwest
quarter of section 1: the
Northeast quarter of Section
two and the East Half Of
the Northwest Quarter of
Section Two.
1t is apparent that a half
OF quarter (160 acres) Is
so acres. Likewise a quarter
OF a quarter (160 acres) is
40 acres. That is the lowest
common unit in land des-
cription: 40 acres. Thus the
northeast quarter of the north
east quarter is easily loca-
ted and instantly recognized
as 40 acres.
In the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation the Indians filed
on all sorts of tracts which
the white man has difficulty
in describing and which gives
headaches to abstractors:
Thus we may have such a
description as this: M E1s
VIZ SEA SWA Section 1.
To locate this we first find
the SWA then we take a
quarter of that and get 40
acres: the west half of that
is 20 acres, the east half of
that Is 10 acres and the north
half Of that is five acres.
Armed with these fbcts,
John Smith could easily spot
his farm buildings on a plat
of his land. He could drive
a stake somewhere in his
half section and give a des-
cription of the location so
that a surveyor could walk
directly to the stake, or con-
versely mark 1t on a map.
Thus If stake were 22O
feet north Of the south line
and 22O feet east Of the west
line OF Section 1, the sur
veyor or anyone else could
quickly locate the southwest
corner of the section. walk
due east 22O feet, thence due
north 22O feet and find the
stake.
Each township Is numbered
to show its position with re-
gard to meridian lines. The
Montana principal meridian
runs through Kevin-Sunburst
field. The townships WEST
of this meridian are number
ed from that line westward
starting with /, then b 3
Montana oil and mining journal., 1936-01-25

and so on up to "a, the west
border OF the state. The town
ships EAST of this meridian
are numbered from that line
eastward in a like manner,
/, then 2, 3, and SO on up
to ,5SE.
These are called RANGE
LINES. We must not say
range four hut must say
range four WEST or range
four EAST. Knowing the To-
cation Of the Montana Mer-
dian, we can easily locate
range 2 east by travelling due
eastward from the meridian
for distance of six miles.
The townships are number
ed north and south OF line
which passes through south
central Montana, crossing the
Montana meridian near Three
Forks, Ga1latin County. So a
townships is described by a
second dimension; either north
or south Of this line. Town
ship 81 is 81 times 6 miles
or 242 miles south of this
line. That IS the northern
most township in Montana.
The southernmost township
is 15 south.
So we locate a tract in
Kevin-Sunburst field by To-
eating the range, then the
township, then the section and
finally the division of the
section. Thus we describe the
Barr farm in Kevin-Sunburst
as the North Half of Section
Two, Township Thirty-five N,
Range Two West of the Mon
tana Principal Meridian. We
can instantly locate the tract
on the map. II a well is spot
ted in the center of the SEA
NWA we find the northwest
quarter. then the southeast
quarter Of that and mark the
center of the 40 acres so es-
tablished.
However, we have gotten
far ahead OF the narrative
OF John Smith, whose land
may or may not be oil land,
in this story. The proce-
dure OF the leasing of his
land is the next step in our
narrative.

During the past three weeks
we have reviewed the A. B.
C's of geology, giving the lay
man a general idea of the
source of oil and how it ac-
cumulates and the conditions
under which commercial
amounts Of oil may be found.
We saw that oil is gene
rated by heat and pressure
exerted on certain shales in
the process of mountain build
ing. Waters of present and
past ages travelling by gra-
vity from high to low points
carries any oil that may seep
into porous rocks, such as
sandstones back away from the
mountains. This oil, in drops
or particles of microscopic
size gathers over countless
ages, floating on top Of wa
ter. 1t comes to rest at 3
point where the water ceases
to circulate. The places where
underground circulation of wa
ter is most frequently halted
are called faults and anti
clines."
Then comes the birth of
mankind and eventually the
establishment OF government
and an American we call John
Smith goes west to get him-
self a piece of land where he
can find the independence so
alluringly described by Hor-
ace Greedy. He picks as good
a piece of ground as he can
find and files a homestead.
To "prove up" Smith is re-
auired to live on the land for
three years, to plow up 40
acres, build a home and out
buildings and build a fence.
He is allowed total of 500
acres of farm land or $40
acres of grazing land. This
completed. he gets witnesses
to prove his assertion that he
has SO proved up" and
benevolent Uncle Sam gives
him q patent" to his land.
bearing the autograph OF the
president.
Thus are base titles es-
tablished. Before 1919 the
man who so proved up on
his homestead owned that 800
acres from the sky to the
center of the earth, includ-
ing all the mineral rights of
every kind.
But few homesteaders filed
on land in the belief that 1t
was oil land, although If peo-
pie had known as much about
geology before 1919 as they
do now, everyone would be
looking for a chance to file
q homestead on an oil struc-
ture. That is no longer pos
sible because the government
now reserves all minerals In
the public domain.
The first thing John Smith
had to learn was how to To-
cate himself on the homestead.
He had to know the meaning
of such terms as township"
range" and section"
Briefly, here is his lesson:
A township constitutes 36
square miles; six miles long
by six miles wide. Each square
mile is called a section. So
