Montana portion of the Williston
Basin.
We feel that we are well on
the way toward the day when
our oil royalty income to the per-
manent fund will be one million
dollars a year. This money will
be a permanent earning asset,
paying interest for the operation
of schools in every succeeding
year Ii is upon these permanent
funds that the long-range wei
fare of our school system de-
ponds A sufficiently large per-
manent fund would be a guar
antee forever against every kind
of economic adversely, and would
Systematically decrease the tax
burden for property holders.
This was the original purpose of
the land grants, and Montana
should not relinquish the pur-
pose now that such great strides
have been made toward its real.
iZatiOn.
About One-tenth of our present
permanent fund consists of oil
and gas royalties. All the money
from land sales, timber sales and
royalties on mining leases since
our beginning as a state have
gone into the fund; the compar,
alive size of the contribution
made by our relatively small oil
acreage is some indication of the
future Significance of oil and gas
royalties in our school economic
system
We must see that Montana gets
share of her own wealth com.
parable to that received by other
land owners.

laws the more interesting.
The newest areas to be opened
to federal leasing are the sub
merged lands beyond the state
boundaries in the Gulf of Mex
leo. These leases carry a flat
royalty of 16 2/3 per cent, plus
a rental of So per acre per year
and a bonus of not less than SIS
per acre. Every one of these
items is higher than the CORE
spending rate charged by the
State of Montana, although there
are no drilling rigs which can
drill in many of these submerg-
er areas. This means that oil
companies paid an average bonus
of over $4,000 per acre to lease
land which they know they must
hold for several years at an ad-
ditional cost of So per acre per
year before they can possibly
drill. The supposed Stringency of
the Montana lease is pale in
comparison.
The federal government eX-
ycrIence with the flat l2l2 per
cent lease, plus the new sub
merged land lease, has given
cause for serious denomination
into the royalty scale The chair
man of the Senate Interior and
InSular Affairs Committee is
planning a thorough rceXamlna-
ton of the royalty scales on all
federal leases Hearings will be
scheduled early this year to re
view the entire federal leasing
picture with particular attention
to the adequacy Of the royalty
scale.
Among the states, Texas is
probably the most dependent
upon the oil industry for its gen
rral economic welfare and has
shown a great deal OF respect
for the industry $ desires in de
tcrmlniug its policies NcVerthe,
less, leases on state school land
in Texas carry royalties up to
80 5 per cent The l2l2 per cent
lease is used only when there is
no production in the area II

The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1955-07-01

Continued from Last Week.

1t should be borne in mind, in
discussing Federal leases, that
the collection of revenue has al
ways been secondary to the dis
covery of oil reserves in the
United States government policy.
The percentage depletion allow
ance in the federal income tax
alone has diverted billions of
dollars from the US. Treasury
in the hope of stimulating new
oil discoveries. The leasing act
of 1916, which adopted the flat
1912 per cent royalty was pass
ed for the same reason. The
us. government IS willing to go
to great lengths to foster the oil
industry, and this fact makes re-
cent developments in It's leading
