discussions on important issues pres
emily facing farmers, workers anc
other citizens of the state. The pro
posed general sales tax, management
of our school oil lands, control OF
atomic energy, are few of the i'm
portant questions that will be con-
sidered in the three-day Veterans
Day weekend in Room 104 of MSU's
Liberal Arts Hall.
In announcing this years instr
tute, the executive committee
states that this forum SIS designed
to aid farmers, workers and all
other citizens to a better under
standing of some of the serious
problems we face"
To assist in accomplishing this OBJ
jective, "efforts have been made to
bring outstanding leaders to the in
stitute again this year," the commit
tee points out. eve are sure you
will find the discussions worthwhile
and very interesting"
In past years the institute has
been privileged to have such nation
ally known personalities as Jerry
Voorhis, executive secretary of the
Cooperative League of the U. S. A.
and former Democratic congressman
from California; James Patton, pres
ident of the National Farmers Union;
Norman Thomas, noted lecturer and
Socialist leader; Arthur Elder, AFL
tax expert and teacher; Charles Bran
nan, former U. S. Secretary of Agrs-
culture; A. A. Liveright, union train
ing specialist, University of Chicago;
and Rev. Edwin Randall, American
Friends Service Committee.
This year Mr.. Patton and Rev.
Randall are returning.
The best way to get the most out
of the Institute sessions is to be there
to hear the talks and to participate
in the discussions.

/ The background of the Alabama
lease shows:
In August of this year, according
to PETROLEUM WEEK, august &c
issue) a discovery well of very sub.
stantial production was brought in
near Chronicle, Alabama. The depth
of the well was 1882 feet. Imme-
diately thereafter, major oil COM
panies began making leases in the
immediate vicinity OF the we'll with
first year bonuses running as high
as 1000 an acre. One major oil COM
pany began paying as much as 500
an acre bonus on tracts as far as ID
miles from the discovery.
Then, in September, according to
the September 80 issue of PETRO-
LEUM WEEK, a tract of land owned
by the Mobile County City school dis
trict and lying four miles distant from
the Chronicle discovery, was put up
for bid. Humble Oil & Refining Of
fered bonus of 1927, 340-or $357
an acre for the tract and royalty
of 121a per cent. Lamar Hunt, Dallas
oil man, offered signing bonus of
only $115, 000-or $3.50 an acre
and royalty of SO per cent, and
agreed to begin drilling within six
months or pay penalty of $4,000
and surrender the lease. The Mobile
County City school board, basing
their decision on sound oil geology
advice, figured that in the long run
the Hunt bid with its so per cent
royalty would bring in to the district
more money than the Humble bid, and
let the 637-acre tract to Hunt.
There are number of points of
similarity between this Mobile tract
of land and a number that the
Montana land board has refused
to let go to bidders for royalty
of less than 1875 per cent.
The state land in the Fertile |
Prairie Field of Fallon county, which |
was let at 1875 per cent royalty at |
The July lease sale, is good case in |

subject of litigation before the State
