Show Deseret evening news Wednesday august V v OIL 4 LB BILL, WITH BEFORE U. S. SENATE CA (Special Correspondence.) D. C, Aug. !- WASHINGTON. The oil leasing bill Introduced early in the present session much-talked-- of of Congress by Senator Reed Smoot, has been reported to the floor of the senate as a new bill. The measure as reported from tl)e . committee a few days ago by Senator Smoot has been Howchanged In some particulars. ever. In main outline It differs tittle from the old bill. Among the numerous amendments the new bill, senate bill i775, provides that no alien shall operate or own interest in a lease for the purpose of operating on the public domain. This new feature of the bill was requested by Senator Phelan of California, who is known to be an enemy of foreign exploitation of America's resources and who recently on the floor of the senate charged that some Of the best oil and mineral fields of California were In the hands of large English and other foreign capitalists. Main Aihendmcrgs. Another important amendment provides that no prospecting permits are to be given for any known geological structures." The old bill provided that leasee were to be giyon out by royalty set by the secretary of the 'Interior with preference tn the ordetof application. Under the new bill "leases are given out by the secretary of the Interior to the highest responsible bidder by competitive bidding. Leases are to be conditioned on payment by lessees of such bonus as may be accepted and such royalty as may be fixed In the in lease. The minimum royalty on oil Is raised from 6 per cent as specified In the old bill, to 12 Vi per cent. Where the average production of oil does not exceed 10 barrels a day the secretary of the Interior is authorized to reduce royalty on future production when In his Judgment the wells cannot be successfully operated upon royalty fixed in the lease. Under the old bill 60 per cent of the money received on royalties was to go to the reclamation fund and 60 per cent to the state In which the well was located. The new bill provides that the U. 8. government receive 10 per cent of the royalties, leaving 45 per cent to the reclamation fund and 4 5 per cent to the state the well Is in. Another, amendment makes it optional with the secretary of the Interior to demand of lessees that the royalties shall be paid In oil or gas.
