The house public lands committee expects to re- -, port next week and bring to early consideration in the house aa administration bill which 'provides for the development of government owned potash lands in accordance with the general provisions of the coal, oil and gas leasing law, save that the royalty u to be fixed at 2 per cent. Instead of ths higher rates applying to other minerals. Representative Colton of Utah, who has been participating in hearing on this bill in committee, declares it will have tremendouA bearing on the potash industry of- Utah, affecting that state probably more than any other because of its enormous potash deposits. Nevada and California are the other two state roost affected. Known potash lands are now subject to development only under the act of October 2, 1917, w hich act will be repealed by the pending bill, but lights initiated under that law will be safeguarded so lorg as permittees or lessees cerr.ply with the terms of the law under which they filed their claims. Tha public land committee recently corci ied hearing on the potash bill ard expects to call It up for action by the house on January amendment striking from the Salt Lake basin item the Cramton proviso which would have required settlers on this project to pay interest at 4 per cent on deferred payments. Interest charges against the other new projects authorized in the bill also were stricken out. The bill, as passed by the senate, merely makes $1,000,000 available for the construction of Echo reservoir, Utah lake control and Weber-Frov- o canal, without any conditions attached, which means that the work will be built In accordance with the reclamation law and on the same basis as other government projects heretofore built. The conference committee, of which Senator f Smoot and .Representative Cramton both will be members, will now have to thresh out this question of Interest charges, at well at the increase in the appropriation, but Senator Smoot is as determined to keep out the interest provision as Cramton is to hold it in, and the senator has something of an advantage because both houses have agreed to an appropriation of at least $900,000, and that much will be saved In any event. The conferees cannot go below that limitation. Th senate having voted down the Cramton interest proviso, that featurs is clearly in dispute, and if Cramton h forced to recede on cannot, for retalthat provision,-hiation, strike out the appropriation, as he could have done when the bill was first considered in the house. At that time Cramton held the whip hand; now he must test his strength against thst of Senator Smoot. The senate voted unanimously against th there was a interest charge, where division of sentiment in th house. Senator Smoot is confident he can win out in the end, though the fight may be protracted, as Cramton is a stubborn and persistent fighter. e - or January 2 70-fo- Union Pacific ILR.
