The Butte businessman also said
he favored early termination of for
eign aid, substituting in its place an
"Aid for America" program-that
such funds be used to build schools,
hospitals, highways, public housing,
etc.
On farm problems Cannon said he
is ''unalterably opposed" to the "flex-
ible farm price support program ad-
vocated by Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Benson" and favors continual
ton of 80 per cent of parity program
until a satisfactory price support
plan can be agreed upon which will
be fair and equitable to producers
and consumers alike"
Cannon favors the immediate in
stitution of federal program of re-
source dam development, dam build

growing unemployment trend He ia
vors government intervention if nee
essary to "halt and reduce the in

eraI requests have been made to the
Board of Land Commissioners that
the Iessees be allowed to include the
state lands in unit plans for oil de-
velopment."
Discussion of the MDU school land
leases by the board also brought out
that the utility has been pumping
Wyoming gas into the partially de-
pleted Baker field. The company is
sues monthly report showing how
much gas is removed from the leases,
but publishes no figures indicating
how much is being pumped into the
storage space of the leases. The re-
suit is that no authentic information
is available to the board to determine
whether MDU is withdrawing only
as much gas as is being pumped in,
or whether part of the reserves in
the leases are being used up without
full royalty payments being made to
the state. No provision is made under
the leases to permit use of the state
land for underground storage Of gas
produced elsewhere, and MDU did
not secure permission to so do from
the land board.
LAND BOARD HAS AUTHORITY
TO CANCEL
Apparent basis for the land boards
decision to move against MDU is
found in the State of Montana Oil
and Gas Lease form which under one
section gives the board power to
"declare this lease forfeited and to
cancel the same . upon failure of
the lessee to fully discharge all the
obligations provided therein, after
written notice from said Board =
The lessee, upon application there
for, shall be granted a hearing on
any notice or demand of the said |
Board before the lease shall be de-
clared forfeited or cancelled :"
Other sections write out what is
meant by "all obligations" One of |
these states that 121a per cent royal
ty shall be paid on ALL gas pro-
duced from wells on state leases.
Nothing is said about excepting gas
injected into the lease from another
area, such as Wyoming. Another sec
ton says that "all wells under this
lease shall be so drilled maintained
and operated as to produce the maxi
mum amount of oil :" While vet
another section emphasizes the re-
;ponsibility Of the lessee to drill
with diligence to such depth as may
