proval of marketing quotas when
he visited Montana last month.
Rep. Lee Metcaf issued a
statement saying, in part, that
"a vote against quotas Is q vote
for a chain reaction starting with
unlimited production of cheap
wheat, which will compete with
feed grains and send cattle, hog
and poultry prices tumbling."
Senator Mike Mansfield took
to the airwaves on Northwest
stations to emphasize that q NO
vote would be widely interpret
ed as a vote against any kind OF
price-support program"
What we need" he said. "is a
vote of protest against this dis.
aster-level price-support pro-
gram under the Administrations
flexible program"
Senator James E. Murray.
terming the referendum "one of
the most historic elections in
agricultural history" said IF
wheat producers vote for quo
tas, then we can at least contin-
ue the fight for stronger instead
Of weaker farm programs. II
wheat producers reject quotas,
then there will be chaos, with all
the farm programs probably on
the way out"

relative importance, to safeguard
the future by guaranteeing a
proper share of royalties than to
get quick profit for this or
any other single year.
ALI the school land litigation
Of the past two years, and all
the controversy about leasing
and laws has been a quarrel
about money; more specifically,
a quarrel about the amount of
permanent fund money which
will be paid in the future in the
form Of royalties.
The Montana royalty scale is
low-the sliding scale from 12h
to Is percent provided in our
leases is not really designed to
increase revenue, but to prevent
the ruinous overproduction of
wells that was common during
the depression. A quick look
at the production records of the
wells on state land will confirm
this: in over 40 years of leasing,
only two leases have ever paid
anything more than 1914 percent
royalty, and the payment was up
on so small an amount that it
made no significant difference.
This is not said to discount the
value of the sliding scale. 1t is
the most valuable protection that
the state leases have ever had,
and it must remain. When trans
portation is available for Mon
tana oil into national markets,
our sliding scale will bring in
great deal of additional revenue,
and will always be deterrent to
the philosophy of "get rich and
get out"
Most of the discussion of the
past two years, and of the four
years that preceded them, has
been about the term of state
leases-whether it should be for
20 years or forever. The term,
or duration of a lease is as much
a part of the payment for the
lease as the number of dollars
of bonus or the number of bar
rels of royalty oil. A term for
ever, that is, for as long as the
oil or gas lasts. is guarantee
The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1955-06-24

they are quite the opposite of
the terms that are wanted by
landholders. The most desirable
type Of lease from the point of
view Of the oil company is a low
royalty, long-term arrangement,
and 1t has been crystalized in the
familiar 12lk percent royalty
indefinite term lease. Since it is
favorable arrangement for them
to implant the impression that
oil companies 60 to great lengths
it is the most acceptable and
equitable form used almost with
out exception by federal and
state governments and large
landholders. The impression SO
created is false and could be ia
tai.
The combination of the indefi-
mite term and the minimum 1914
per cent royalty has never come
anywhere near universal accept
ance by the states and has not
been fully accepted by the fed
eral government AS a matter of
actual fact, there is now strong
revulsion from the indefinite
term, 12h percent arrangement,
by those governments which for
merly accepted it. 1t would be
tragic irony if Montana adopted
this unfavorable arrangement
when other states, and the feder-
al government, with a far great
er amount of leasing experience,
were abandoning it in favor of
far more profitable systems.
The 1912 percent indefinite
term system has never been very
widely accepted by governmental
units or by large landholders,
public or private. Outside of the
United States it is hardly known.
Throughout the Middle East roy
allies of so percent, plus large
scale cash grants and technical
aid to the government arr the
accepted pattern. In Yemen,
though no oil has ever been
found there, a group of German
companies has contracted to
drill and pay the government
royalty of rs percent. The $3.50
arrangement is followed in Venc-
zuela. The only country outside
the United States where 1872
per cent royalty has been accept
ed is Israel, which faces a pros
pect of total collapse if it does
not develop a domestic source
of industrial fuel. In untried ter
ritories, such as Sicily, where
drilling began only recently, and
the presence of commercial oil
deposits is still in the realm of
speculation, royalties are set at
1923 per cent. If any royalty
figure could be called stand
ard" the 16 2/3 percent would
be far closer than 1914 per cent.
To return to something men,
toned earlier: a number of gov
ernments in the United States
have had experience with oil
leasing, and most, if not all of
them have at some time used the
12h percent indefinite term
lease. 1t is highly significant that
these government landowners
are turning away from it in fav-
or of other arrangements that

ment itself. An impression, and
an erroneous one, has been gain
ed in Montana, that all federal
leases are for an indefinite term
at 1914 per cent royalty. There
are several kinds of federal leas-
es, only one of which carries the
flat 12le per cent royalty. The
other commonly used federal
lease has sliding royalty scale,
far more stringent than Mon
tana's running up to a maximum
of Is percent.
The flat 12l2 per cent lease is
used only for lands not within
the boundaries of a known oil

A German-born rocket expert
said last night he expects the
United States to launch its first
unnamed space satellite from
Florida.
Willy Ley. a scientist and
writer who now lives in this
country, based what he called
his guess" on the fact that
there is already a rocket prov
ing ground in Florida and a
launching from there would drop
the booster rockets into the ocean
instead of endangering inhab-
itated areas.
Mr.. Ley discussed the satellite
project on the CHS TV-radio
show Face the Nation" The
White House announced July 90
plans to shoot a et-ball-Size
missile 200 to 300 miles into
space. in hopes it might orbit
there at 1900 miles an hour.
This unnamed satellite would
encircle the earth once every 80
minutes.
The Government has never
indicated where the launching
would take place.
Use Three-Stage Rocket
Mr.. Ley said he thought it
was "a good guess" that it would
be from within the continental
borders because of the avail
ability of supplies and of good
observation stations.
Il would think" Mr.. Ley said,

missile base" in Florida. south Of
Daytona Beach.
Mr.. Ley said the satellite
would be boosted into space by
what is called a "three-stage
rocket" The first would start
the satellite on the journey. then
the second rocket would take over
and later the third. The first
two rockets, when spent, would
be elected and fall.
BY using the Florida base, Mr..
Ley said. the first stage rocket
would hit the ocean about 200
miles from the launching site

ship, seeking incorporation in.
to a village. This would be
known as "Ridgewood."
The spokesmen for the group
DR.. Robert Stockton, Sherman
rd., and Brooks Jones, Cedar
rd., stated that there was NO
other place in Ohio n m e d
Ridgewood.
The section which will be in
corporated, if a majority of the
residents living there vote for
incorporation, is bounded as
follows: 1t will start with the
center of Mulberry rd. and
continue along the center of
Caves rd. to the present south
ern boundry of the township.
The western boundry will be
County Line rd., between Ches-
ter and Gates Mills.
This contains approximately
one fifth of the area in the
township. 1t includes SON e
large estates and Chestel's In
duStrieS. About $40 people are
said to reside there.
The unusual part of this re-
quest is that, if this section
should be set apart from the
Township, a small strip of
land on the north side adjoin-
ing Kirkland township will be
disconnected from the township
road system.
A reason given for the move
was reported to be the alleged
ladity in the enforcement of the
township zoning regulations.
The petition was accepted by
the trustees for consideration.
