was proposed that the State of Mon
tana should obtain full market value
and lease its lands on the following
terms (the terms in effect in all of
the great oil producing states):
L. Speculative wildcat acreage
would be leased at a royalty (the
share of the oil paid to the land own
er, the State of Montana) of twelve
and one-half per cent (121a 9o) with
graduated scale up to twenty-five
per cent (25%o). If more than one
bidder wanted particular lease. it
would be auctioned for a cash pay
ment. The latter is today the limit
of our system.
2. Leases in known oil producing
areas would be leased at a royalty
of not less than sixteen and two
thirds per cent (163s 96) with a
graduated scale up to thirty-five 1857
or forty per cent (4Oa6) depending
on production, with bidding to be in
cash as in the first instance above.
3. Leases already producing oil,
or so close to a producing we'll that
production is practically certain
should be bid for in royalty (percent-
age of production), with fixed pay
ment in cash predetermined by the
State Land Board and with power
in the State Land Board to assess
penalties for any failure of reason
able care of production by the lessee.
a. The State Land Board would be
empowered to establish minimum
rentals, and minimum royalties from
time to time, and in regard to land
IN various areas, depending upon the
proximity to production. The State
Land Board would be empowered to
assess penalties against the lessee for
failure to prudently and reasonably
proceed with development of the
ease.
This is positive program for de-
'elopment of oil lands. l don't claim
of the program. 1t is the
md of program that is established

governments are doing a better jol
than others. In the United States
we find that the great oil producing
states are doing this kind of pro
gram.
Land owners (other than the
state) too, are vitality concerned
by state land management. The
handling of state lands often sets
a pattern for management of pri-
vate lands.
In Texas, when State school lands
are leased for sixteen and two-thirds
per cent (1625 @o) royalty (that is
the now established minimum royalty
for state lands in the State of Texas)
private land owners in surrounding
areas also demand, and get, that hig-
er royalty of sixteen and two-thirds
per cent (162s %0) instead of the
generally established twelve and one
half per cent (121A @6) that is ex-
perienced in Montana.

tion and drilling. Most of the large
oil companies are importing foreign
oil in large quantities and wish to
keep domestic oil lands for future
reserve. Oil must be produced to be
valuable to living, breathing, flesh
and blood persons. Corporations and
governments of unlimited life and
existence, are often more concerned
with reserves than with present pro-
duction.
The living, breathing, flesh and
blood persons who are concerned with

think that it would be we'll to lodge

quality of its performance. and may

plants.
How successful has the plan been
Without TAG hundreds of additional
persons would probably be in Cali
fornia's state prisons today. Partly
because trained inmates are often
considered ready for parole earlier
than unframed men, the average pris-
on time has been reduced from 33 to
27 months, an unexpected bonus for
taxpayers. ct costs $1,000 a year to
keep man in prison, not including
support for his family.)
The beneficial results of the pro-
gram have been spiritual as we'll as
material. The fact that TAG members
are more interested in the inmates
future than in their past has a tre-
mendous impact on these discouraged
men. Nobody ever told me before
that | could hold down a good Job
outside" was the pleased reaction
of one inmate.
There are still failures among the
graduates. But the successes are MANY
and some are outstanding. Few people
would have held much hope for four
time loser who had papered his way
across the country with bad checks.
Yet this man, who worked in the Fol
som machine shop and obtained job
through the machinists' TAG. is now
a foreman in one of the largest plants
in San Francisco. A rapist from San
Quentin is doing we'll as an Inspector
in a defense plant; a murderer has
become a successful plasterer.
In spite of occasional failures. no
member of TAG has ever resigned
because of lack of faith. When a brief
strike occurred in the Los Angeles
furniture industry, the TAG meeting
went on as scheduled. A few hours
before the meeting, Roy Taylor of
The AFL Furniture Workers Union |
and Eddy S. Feldman of the manu-
sacturers' association had been dead
ocked. At the meeting, the two men
conferred with earnest friendliness
about what both have come to con-
'ider "our" program.
A California businessman expressed
he viewpoint of hundreds of employ
'rs when he spoke of prison-trained
workers.. "These men, he said, ''have

The area of Iran is 100000 SQUARE

MANY SUGGESTIONS OFFERED
This group has been gathering sug-
gestions as to how the Rules Commit
tee could be controlled by the House
majority and leadership. Such sug-
gestions were outlined in the conf
Dental letter which it sent to mem
bers of the SO group. In addition to
the suggestion that several liberal
members be named to the Rules Com
mittee, some of the suggestions were:
(1) That the "21-day'' rule be re-
vived under which the Speaker could
call up before the House for consider
alton bills already reported upon by
a standing committee, if they had
been in the Rules Committee for 21
days or more. 1t has also been sug-
gested that the time limit be shortened
to IA days.
,(2) That the Rules Committee be
required to report a bill, if a stand
ing committee has reported it for a
second time.
(3) That the committee be required
to hold a meeting of the committee
within four days, if two members of
the panel request it's consideration.
az That the committee be prohib-
tied from passing on the substantive
merits of legislation.
(5) That the committee be inte-
grated with House leadership by MAX
ing the Speaker or Majority Floor
Leader its chairman.
(6) That the rule be abandoned
which prevents a bill from going into
with the appropriate Sem
ate committee, if one member of the
House objects.
