Ole Miss To Have
New Law Course
In Oil and Gas

University-Specia - If Missis-
sippi is to benefit by the admitted
errors of other states. and have
stabilized royalties and tax reve-
nues from its rapidly growing
oil industry, ii must first have an
up-to-date oil and gas conserva-
ton law and sound taxing poll
cies, Ford Hall, associate profess
sor of law at the University de-
clared, in announcing that the
University Of Mississippi is offer
ing a new law course on oil and
gas.
This course, he said. will brief
students on oil and gas laws, both
here and elsewhere. and the
school hopes to train lawyers
better to understand conservation
laws and also to enable them to
advise all parties to an oil and
gas lease.
Through the Mississippi Law
Journal, he said, the law school
offers every lawyer in the state
an opportunity to keep abreast
of Mississippi conservation laws
and their shortcomings in COM
parison with the laws of other
oil-producing states.
BY having q more up-to-date
conservation law" Professor Hall
said, Mississippi should attract
new capital; there would be more
activity in exploring and develop
ing oil and gas properties and in
acquiring leases"
Talking broadly of conse-va-
ton, he said that Conservation
assures US that we will not spend
wildly today and borrow tomor-
row; we must prevent gas and
oil waste both above and under
the ground by storing the fuel In
its natural underground reservoir,
~lessening the danger of costly ac-
cidents.
Modern conservation laws
limit the withdrawing of gas and
oil to the current demand, and
by doing this prevent wasteful
pepper box drilling"
He explained that pepper box"
drilling is a term applied to the
mad competition between rival
producers whose leases converge,
within the most productive area
Of a common pool to take as much
oil as they can from a pool in the
shortest time. This, he said. re-
suits in wasteful drilling, closing
vast quantities of oil which
could have been recoverable had
more scientific methods been
used.
In offering the new course and
services, he said the University is
trying to do something about ac-
q~uainting Mississippians general
ly with the legal and economic
,pr0hlems resulting frem the dis
covery of oil.

Do High Prices Cause Initiation?

WET STREETS no more cause rain than high
prices cause infation
Wet streets are the result of rain. High prices
are the disastrous result Of imitation.
In order to halt imitation we must first under
stand it's cause
Imitation comes when the flow of money into
the markets is greater than the flow Of goods
into the markets.
Trying to control the result of imitation high
prices therefore, is putting the cart before
the horse. ! I

That's why way must be found-and quickly
to bring the flow Of money ldemand) into better
balance with the flow of goods (supply). That
is the only way to reduce the infationary pres
sures which drive prices up.
At the same time, we all want to maintain the
standard of living of the American people, and
provide the necessary amount Of aid to foreign
nations.
To accomplish all three of these high purposes;

ALASKA SPORTSMAN
PICTORIAL NUMBER

Gold, fish and timber. game
and fur animals, people, cities
and scenery. dog teams, ships and
airplanes have all contributed to
make Alaska what she is today, a
grand vacation land. a place for
satisfactory and profitable every
day living, modern frontier with
vast industrial potentialities. Rep
resenting these various facets OF
our great Territory, the September
pictorial number of The Alaska
Sportsman carries dozens of black
and white photographs illustrat-
ing the many different aspects of
The Last Frontier"
Hunting and trapping in Sep
TENDER is also discussed, a trip up
the Stikine is described by Bess
VIM, and though the housing
shortage is universal, it isn't in
surmountable when there is plen-
ty of beach land, forest of sturdy
logs, and a variety of building
materials washed up by an obliging
sea. Building a log cabin on
Alaska's shore is hard work, but
the cost is small and the reward
high in pleasure and satisfaction.
C. o. Buck tells how he went
about it in Log Cabin Home

number of The Alaska Sportsman.

Against Proposed "Land Steal"
Opposition to the proposed grab"
of public domain lands by large live
stock and wool interests was approved
in a formal resolution following an ex-
PLANTATION of the proposal by Carolyn
Madden, Anaconda, president of the
Northwest Conservation league. Larry
Price, Great Falls carpenter delegate
and a new member of the MSFL board
concurred with Miss Madden's senti-
ments but stated that the land, water
and people of the west are interdepend,
ent and inseparable and that only
through such development as the
proposed Missouri Valley Authority,
could a really effective conservation
program become reality.

The Bureau of Reclamation wasn't
so fortunate in North Dakota, as COM
pared with the Engineers. The bu-
reau received only $1,100,000 and soil
conservation $SS2,262, compared to
$21, 3O5,625 for the Engineers to use
in construction work on dams which
will inundate 50 per cent of all Mis-
souri, bottom lands in that state. South
Dakota reclamation also didn't fare
too well with allotment of $4,415,000,
as compared with S9,275,0 900 for the
flood controlling propensities Of the
Engineers, soil conservation received
S6S7, 446. Kansas too can logically ex-
pect bigger and better floods in the
future, with the Engineers coping
$11,426,000 to 100000 for reclama-
ton, and a bare $59S,253 for soil con-
servation. Iowa and Missouri re-
ceived for Army Engineers, $7,5S0,000
and $2,315,000, respectively, as COM
pared to nothing for reclamation, and
1885, O4 and $357,057, for soil con-
servation.
Appropriations for the other states
in the Missouri basin include: Colo
RADIO, engineers, $5,053.000, reclama-
ton S1,1OO,0OO, soil conservation $780,

Only in Wyoming were the Engi-
neers shut out. In that state, rec
lamation received $12,575,0O0 and soil
$330,513.
Of the grand totals, it should be
noted that the Engineers received,
besides their ALLEGATIONS by states, an
additional $7,697,OO under the rivers

priations do not include actual irriga-
ton project operations.

Smith Bill Contained "Joker"
SB IS was a very short bill intro
duced by Sherman Smith, senator from
Lewis & Clark, who at various times
has appeared as attorney for persons
charged with gambling and other sim
liar offenses. One paragraph in this
bill which amended the social club
"one-armed bandit" law passed in the
1916 session contains a joker which
did away with certain time limits for
the licensing of slot machines to the
social clubs for the amusement" of
their members.
This, of course, supplemented the
provisions of HB 353 under which a
flood of about 200 so-called social clubs
have been organized so far this year
Under this law any three persons may
organize a "nOn-profit corporation,

National Parks Service, $150,000; In
dian Affairs, $1,000; Bureau of Mines,
$4,000.
Funds allotted to the Engineers for
Montana include s290,0O0 for Fort
Peck development; S657 900 for power
plant at Fort Peck, and $171,000 for
bikes at Forsyth, a total of s1,11S,000.
OF this amount all except the $171,000
for Forsyth comes under rivers and

Reclamation funds for Montana for
1913 total almost 50 million for strict

Harsch cited as an example of Com
munist moderation his one-hour inter-
view with Maurice Thorez, French
Communist leader, who nodded appre-
ciatively when Harsch told him, "You
sound like Senator Taft, Monsieur"
Thorez said the main points of his
party's program for France were to
balance the budget, stabilize the cur
rency, stimulate production without
increasing costs more than absolutely
necessary, and permitting increases
in the prices of foodstuffs.
The French Communist party, Mr..
Harsch said, has made surprising
gains among the most conservative
sections of the French peasantry in
Brittany. For example, the fishermen
who have a religious aversion to radi-
calism explain their support of the
Communist party by saying, lie Bon

The Communist-controlle govern

Yugoslavia are gaining strength in
those countries by official efforts to
overcome food shortages, stimulating
small-scale private enterprise and per-
hitting free functioning of established
religions, Harsch said.
In Hungary, the government still
collects taxes for all three major chur-
ches, Catholic, Protestant and jewish
as it did before the war; he said. In
Poland, avowed anti Communists told
Harsch they were not aware of any

There. will be agreement on
the part Of majority of the
people of the state with the
Governor, that conditions brought
about by the facility with which these
fake "non-profit" clubs are organized
are outrageous. But examination of
the record of legislation which makes
these conditions possible, will disclose
that the Governor in his consideration
of a special session of the legislature

the taxpayers money to rectify one of
his inadvertent or deliberate errors,
in having approved the legislation
