used phrase the nation is just another catchy

Times cannot and will not continue under their power

different theories specific problem Now whether

CONFEREESAGREE
ON HOUSING BILL
House May Act Today on
Measure-Lodge Amend
: ment DeIeted.
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House may act today on the
administrations new housing bill,
which emerged from several weeks of
conference late yesterday. with the
Lodge prevailing wage amendment
knocked out.
Put forward at the special session as
a step toward checking the business
recession by encouraging private con-
struction projects through more liberal
Government insurance of mortgages,
1t is the first major piece Of legislation
to reach the final stages Of enactment
since Congress assembled Novem-
ber IS.
No difficulty is expected over the
conference agreement in the House.
When the report reaches the Senate,
however. Senator Lodge, Republican,
of Massachusetts plans to oppose ac-
ton of the conferees in yielding on his
amendment. which would have re-
quired payment of prevailing wage
rates in a community on any housing
project If it is to receive the benefit of
Federal Housing Administration mort
gage insurance.
Fears Change Is Unlikely.
Although the amendment was put
in the bill by decisive Senate vote,
Mr.. Lodge indicated he is not op-
timistic over the chances of changing
the conference report.
It is understood Senators Steiwer,
Republican, of Oregon and Townsend,
Republican, of Delaware voted against
striking out the prevailing wage
amendment. The other Senate con-
ferees were Senators Bulkley of Ohio,
Barkley of Kentucky, Wagner OF New
York and Hitchcock of South Dakota,
Democrats.
May Reach Senate Monday.
The conference report probably will
reach the Senate by Monday, but the
big question then will be how soon
leaders can get the housing measure
past the barrier caused by the fill
buster against the anti-lynching bill.
Senator Wagner is co-author of the
bill to curb lynching and also is one
of the sponsors OF the new housing
measure.
The housing measure in its final
form:
Allows Federal Housing Admins
tration to insure 80 per cent in
stead Of 80 per cent of the value of
homes up to $4,000, paving the way
for home purchase on a 10 per cent
down payment. The interest rate
would be per cent, and the mortgage
insurance premium rate a of l per
cent on diminishing balances.
25 Years of Amortization,
Retains Senate provision allowing
25 years to amortize these small-home
mortgages. provided they are insured
between now and July l, 1899, the
purpose being to stimulate home con-
struction now. After that date the
amortization period would be 20
years.
On homes up to $4,000 in value
F. H. A. could insure 80 per cent of
the first $4,000 and 80 per cent of the
remaining value.
The Senate move to fix July l.,
1912, as the deadline for acceptance
of small home mortgages for insur-
ance on these terms was eliminated
leaving no time limit on the program.
The bill fixes $2O00,O00 as the
total amount of mortgages F. H. A..
may insure .at one time, with au-
fh1ritv vested in the President to
raise the limit to S30OO,000 The
House placed on limit on the dis
cretionary power of the President in
raising the OOO,OOO,O0O total.
In addition to liberalizing insurance
terms on individual small homes, the

THE LUCK" OF THE HOMESTEADER

to live on the dried-Out grasshOpper-
infected land, only to lose 1t after he
obtained his patent. 1t was kicked
around" from owner to owner, and fin
ally it was found to be in "Oil country"
However, the people who had been COM
PEELED to take the land over to satisfy
an obligation were glad to get rid of it,
We bought half of the landowners roy
atty for about half of the amount that
we figure it would cost to prove up on
that tract of land. In other words, had
the writer homesteaded this particular
tract, gambling that 1t is oil land, it
would have cost him about as much to
prove up as the amount we paid last
week for the royalty. When we bought
royalty there was no gamble about 1T
being in Toll country''-which could not
have been known in 1917-and in fact
there was DRILLING WE'LL ON 1T.
When we look at the fortunes of the
Wildschutz' and Greenes and William
HOwIings and Irving Bakers and William
Byrnes and others, we cannot help but
feel a little enviOus. Yet ten years
hence we know that we will have envious
eyes on those who had the tremendous
opportunities of the present time created
especially for us by the unusual cir
cumstances of the recession" We i'm
advertentIy named William HOwling.
That farm has produced a million dollars
worth of oil and the name is famous.
However, William HOwling didn't believe
in oil or else he couldn't afford to hang
onto his oil rights, for he sold all of
its royalty to investors. This royalty
sold high as 1920 per acre point after
he sold it for few cents per cent per
acre. The persons who bought that roy
atty have received more than 100000
in royalty earnings.
The greatest opportunities since 1882
-ths bottom of the depressiOn-are
available to members of this Organiza-
ton today The man who does not lay
the foundation for fortune through
present opportunities will be like the
man who failed to go with into Gut
Bank i'm 1892 and 1888. Since then Cut
Bank royalty owners have received ST.
100000. It will be entirely his own
fault. 1t does not take a large invest
ment to take advantage of some of these
opportunities. The man with $50 can
get his propOrtiOnate share with the man
who has $500 or $4,000.
None of our recent publications has
developed more discussion OF favorable
comment that the one recently that dis
cussed this comparison between pioneer
hOmesteading days and the opportunities
OF the present. Many who feel that the
old ,hOmesteader got something for
nothing or for the sum of $40 invested
I'm filing fees, were given some new food
for thought by this publication.
We are now engaged on an important
program of buying, comparable with the
pioneer days Of Kevin-Sunburst and of
Cut Bank, only today we know more
about the oil and the pools and have
the certainty of swifter development.
We invite any who wishes to join us to
send in the attached coupon.

on a bleak, wind-blOwn prairie in the
terrific heat of the summer and the
frigid cold and billiards. OF the winter,
for a period of three years even if we
knew that we had filed on oil land.
The OnEy ones who got an advantage
If it could be called that-were sol
diers in the World War. Where a man
filed on a homestead before enlistment
in the service, his army time was APP
piled to prove up" on the homestead
as if he were living on the homestead.
If the soldier were killed, then his wild
Ow or heirs received patent to the home
stead. Much of Cat Greek was filed on
by Fergus county soldier boys. Harrison
Greene filed on one tract j. Bland
Catlett on another, Wildschutz on another.
They came back from the war to find
a well drilling on the Cat Creek struc-
ture. In the next decade, Greene's
royalties paid 100000, Wildschutz had
received slightly less. In the first 10
years, the peak years of Cat Creek, 1 %
royalty on the Greene tract paid $24,21O,-
80. Wildschutz royalty had paid $685.
4O2.23 on one per cent.
The writer, then a newspaper man in
Great Falls, was urged to take a home
stead in the GOd-fOrsalxen country to the
land office records strongly urged the
writer to file so we took a trip to TOOle
county to look at a tract of land The
law required that a person must see the
ground before filing on it, That first
sight was enough. The tract was in the
midst of country where there was
little grass: only alkali-baked ground
and no human habitation for miles
around Returning from that trip, the
writer told his friends:
II could not be so deceitful as to cheat
my government out of that worthless
land. II j left that to my widow it
would be more of n curse than bles-
sing And so no homestead was filed.
The next time the writer saw that land
was after the war and at that time there
was derrick up on a knoll above the
aIkali flat The mineral rights had
been withdrawn by the government and
am old gentleman whom the writer had
known before the war had taken out
an oil and gas prospecting permit. His
name was Moore. The ground was still
worthless for agriculture and it was
known only as the Moore permit. 1t was
gusher oil land.
Since that time, this 'GOd-fOrsaken
land" has produced around three quarters
of a million dollars worth of oil. The
government had withheld so royalty
but the rest of the royalty that is nor
maIly the landowners share had paid
around $500 for each one per cent of
royalty.
We can look back on such incidents
with regrets, perhaps, but only IL we do
not know what the present affords in
the way of opportunity, Last week we
bought half of the landowners royalty
on tract of land that once belonged
to a hOmesteader who gave the best
years of his life to a desperate struggle
