Montana from opening the door

OIL" concluded Olsen.
The occasion for Wednesdays ar
guments in the district court marked
but one of the steps in the pitched
battle on the constitutionality of oil
leasing legislation passed at the last
session of the legislature.
LIFE SPAN QUESTIONABLE
AT BIRTH
The 1858 Montana State Legisla-
ture passed a bill designated as Sub
HB 48. Sub HB 48 revised the leas-
ing laws on state oil lands. 1t re-
moved from the statutes any time
limitations on leases for producing
oil wells on state lands. Before the
1858 law there was a 20-year limita-
ton on the length of leases, after
which the leases could be reviewed
by the state land boards to determine
if the schools of Montana were get
ting maximum return and the terms
of the lease were being carried out
by the oil company holding the lease.
Sub HB 48 had stormy conception
and birth before and during the 1868
legislative session. It's life has been

constitutional therefore the leases
should not be changed.
Because of this decision Ralph An
derson, Helena attorney, acting for a
Mr.. Cranston of Billings, asked the
federal court to declare that the 1853
law, Sub HB 48, did not conflict
with the enabling act. Anderson con-
tended that because the enabling act
was federal law the fate of Sub
HB 48 should be decided in the fed
eral court.
Judge w. D. Murray dismissed this
action on June rs. However, Ander-
son made another appeal for rehear-
ing in Murray's Federal Court which
was granted July 3.
ALL LEASING ACTIVITY HALTED
BY DISTRICT COURT DECISION
In the meantime there was an auc-
ton of state lands scheduled to take
place on the 29th of April. Under the
ruling by Attorney General Arnold
Olsen this leasing would have to con-
form to the provisions of the old law.
However, on the 18th of April, Will
lis Jones, Billings attorney, applied
for and received an injunction which
restrained the board from holding the
scheduled auction. In his injunction
he asked that the board be perma-
nently restrained from granting any
lease other than the one that would
conform to the terms of Sub HB 48.
The hearings in Judge Vicor Falls
court in Helena Wednesday was to
argue whether the injunction should
be permanent.

Events cast their shadows before.
in the embroyic life of Sub HB 48
when constitutionality was questioned
on the floor of the legislature. Before
the newborn bill had a chance to
settle down to a normal existence
the case to determine the status of
"first year rentals" from oil leases
was argued before the Supreme Court.
At these hearings no doubt was left
that Sub HB 48 would have to stand
the supreme test of state law before
it would be legally accepted and
bound into the family of Montana
statutes.

FEDERAL COURT?
The first case was filed on April
18th in the United States District
Court, Helena District with Judge
w. D. Murray. This case arose out
of the decision of Attorney Gen
eral Arnold Olsen requested by the
then Commissioner of State Lands
William Pilgeram. Pilgeram asked
Olsen if the leases should be changed
to conform to Sub HB 48. Olsen's
opinion for the state land depart

Thoughts in Life
Horse Power
By DR.. JOHN w. HOLLAND

1T IS REPORTED that more
horse power is being en-
ployed upon American farms at the
present time than in all other indus
tries combined. 1t hardly seems pos
sible, yet is stated as a fact.
During my boyhood and youth we
ran section of land with 16 horses
and half dozen men and boys. To-
day, there is more horse power in
the farm home automobile alone
than in the horse and man power of a
half century ago. For instance, we
churned the same way as did the
servants of Abraham. Machinery
was just beginning. We had walking
plows, harrows and hand planters for
replanting corn. Now, the farmer
rides in an enclosed cab where we
used to plod along in the dust.
Prophets who think say that in
our social, moral and spiritual en-
deavors we are still plodding along
our human ways, trusting in our hui
man strength and skill to make hui
mainly think and act as brothers in
love and honor together. We are not
doing so well at it, as the condition
of our own and other countries at
tests.
Power From on High
I'm thinking of the little group of
Christ's first followers. They saw
dinly the Truth that Jesus taught
and lived. They started out on a
mission of teaching and healing, but
came back discouraged at the failure.
Jesus said to them: '"This kind,
(meaning His power to head goeth
not out but by prayer and fasting"
Later, He told them: ''Tarry we in
the city of Jerusalem until We be
endued with power from on high
Then came Pentacost and the COM
ing of Gods Spirit into their hearts
and they went forth doing Christ's
work in Christ's way. Thousands re-
pented of their sins within few
short weeks.
1t is reported that these 100 Spirit
filled believers brought 5000 con-
verts to Christ in one day. 1t is re-
ported that one church in the United
States last year, church with some
5000 members, succeeded in winning
100 souls to the Christian life. Are
we depending too much upon human
power and too little upon the Holy
Spirit to empower us to become
super-believers in our fight against
sin and selfishness? What do you
think?
Power of Prayer
The late William A. Sunday, evan
gelist, brought many thousands of
people to repentance. Many thought
it was his spectacular methods, but
that is not so. Once, when he was in
vited to hold meeting in city of
$4,000, the local committee asked
him what they should do ''in the
matter of publicity" He wrote to
them, "You handle the publicity in
your own way. What I want is a
company of 100 people who will con-
tinue in prayer for the coming of the
Holy Spirit upon the people. If we
do that, God will send us revival"
The result was that the entire city
was stirred, and several thousand &C
copied and confessed their faith in
Christ.
We trust in our education, in oul
| culture and in n11r fine church build.
