Olsen spoke to a capacity Jeffer-
son-Jackson Day dinner crowd in
Baker to people from Wibaux, Fal-
lon and Carter counties.
Continuing, he pointed out that
"spokesmen of the oil industry are
still saying that we should sell our
leases as cheaply as North and South
Dakota cheapest in the world.
''In 1852, the State of Montana
sold twenty-year leases for five
million dollars. The best sale of
forever leases that we have had
in any year since totaled only one
million dollars.
"The people in this area are we'll
aware that the State of Montana has
never made excessive demands on
the oil industry" he reminded his
far eastern Montana audience. Every
recent change in school land leasing
policy has been made at the indus
try's request and for the industry's
benefit. "The price ceilings imposed
upon state land are unfair to the
schools and to the school children.
You people in this area know that
higher royalties than IL " % are OBJ
tainable on the Montana market but
school lands cannot accept more than
IL II % share in the first 5000 barrels
of production per month. You people
in this area know better than anyone
ths.s the industry so controls produc-
ton that they rarely pay more than
121a % royalty on state leases. Mon
tana should follow the example of
Texas where the minimum royalty
has been increased to 1875 %. The
Texas example of calling upon the
industry to bid royalty is another
good example for Montana to follow.
Texas has been successful in one in
stance of getting as high as 900
pledged the State of Texas"

USERS OF GASOLINE

1t is practically a certainty the
Congress will approve refunding of
the two-cent federal tax on all
non-highway used gasoline pur-
chased by farmers.
When the act takes effect it will
be retroactive to January l, 1856.
Refund claims will have to be filed
by September 30 of this and sue
ceeding years.
In order to secure your federal
tax refund it will no doubt be nee
essary to present gasoline sales
slips to Uncle Sam.
1t is suggested you save sales
slips on gasoline purchased for
non-highway farm purpose in order
to secure your refund.

He said, however, "The condi-

LUMBER USE Seen
STEADY THIS Year

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The con-
struction industry should use about
as much lumber this year as it did
in the year 1866 even despite a small
decrease in the number of homes
built, Leo V. Bodine, executive vice
president of the National Manufac-
turers Association, told press con-
ference here during the recent an
nual meeting of the Western Pine
Association.
Bodine said that about 81 to 38
billion board feet of lumber should
be used this year, and that he expects
home modernization and non-resi-
Dental construction to offset any
drop in BODYBUILDING.

the $50 of the land owned by the
schools of Montana:
I. Speculative wildcat acreage
would be leased at a royalty (the
share of the oil paid to the land
owners) of 121s %. IF more than
one bidder wanted a particular
lease, it would be auctioned for a
cash payment.
2. Leases in known oil-produc-
ing areas would be leased at a
royalty of not less than 1890,
with bidding to be in cash.
3. Leases already producing oil,
or SO close to producing well that
production is practically certain,
should be bid for in royalty, with a
fixed payment of cash.
4. Price ceilings on rentals, royal
ties, and penalties should be re-
moved
OPERATORS HAVE AN "OUT"
"An additional grave danger fac
ing Montana today is the restriction
upon Montana's production made by
spacing orders of the Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission. AT the
present time, any oil operator can
refuse to carry out his drilling con-
tracts with landowners if the Com
mission will make an order limiting
the number of wells that can be
drilled in a field"
GAS our laws now stand, operators
can hold land indefinitely with little
payment, and drill only when and
how they want to-even if they
have contracted to drill. This situa-
ton affects taxpayers and landown-
ers alike. 1t must be remedied."

JEFFERSON CITY, March IT
Missouri leaders of the Teamsters
Union refused today to give up hope
of delaying formal merger of the
AFL and Clio state organizations, de-
spite the fact that a joint unity COM
mittee turned them down unanimous
ly at meeting here yesterday.
Formal action on the merger is
scheduled to be taken at a conven-
ton in Kansas City beginning April
9, with the two bodies first meeting
separately and later together.
Dale Ferris, representing the Team
sters Joint Council of st. Louis, tried
without success yesterday to get the
executive committee of the Missouri
State Federation of Labor to refrain
from recommending the amalgama-
ton.
He told the POST DISPATCH the
Transfers will have a caucus the day
before the convention next month to
determine their strength and agree
on tactics. If they do not win their
point at the AFL convention, they
would have no hope of doing so at the
joint convention.
MAY SEEK COALITION
In the meantime there may be at
tempts to form coalitions among AFL
affiliate unions for the purpose of
buttressing a policy of delay laid
down by Dave Beck, international
head of the Teamsters-the biggest
union of all.
The national joint committee
that drafted plans for bringing the
AFL and Clio together agreed that
state and city organizations could
take long as two years to ac-
complish mergers-and now Beck
has advised his Transfers locals
everywhere: LET us take full ad-
vantage of the two-year provision.
Beck's reason is that national juris-
dictional problems have not been re-
solved to his satisfaction.
His letter to locals included the
following:
~ am sincerely convinced that it

would be to the best interest, not
only of the Transfers but of the
AFL and CLIO labor movements in
your locality, if they proceed slowly
and carefully before effecting any
formal merger locally.
URGES SOLVING OF PROBLEMS
"Let us all take full advantage of
the two-year provision that the mer-
ger committee recommended, in order
that we may become thoroughly famil-
lar with one another's problems and
if possible solve many of them before
an active merger takes place :"
John I. Rollings of ST. Louis, presi-
dent of the ALL Missouri State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, said there was no
eight between the Transfers and
the Federation, but maintained that
postponement of the formal COM
bination would not help the Team
sters.
George Meany, former president
of the AFL and now head of the fused
organization, has said he expected
Missouri to be among the first states
to effect the merger.
St. Louis Local 678 of the Optical
Workers Union, a CIO affiliate with
approximately 800 members, has
voted unanimously to become affili-
ated with the AFL-CIO international
Union of Electrical Workers, it was
announced here yesterday by James
Click of st. Louis, international vice
president of the electrical workers.
