WASHINGTON, .May 21. (AP) The interior department urged Lhe liou.se public lands committee today to approve a proposed bill which would permit the treasury to liquidate a 10,000,000 deficit ac crued since the government with drew some 2,000,000 acres of west em Oregon railroad and Coos Bay wagon road grant lands more than 20 years ago. The department said the admin istration advocated orderly reim bursement of funds spent by the government for tho lands and for money paid as taxes c in lieu of taxes when the lands reverted to the government. A solicitor said revenue nover had been sufficient to return the government's original investment of $2.50 an acre or to meet entirely taxes and lax subsidies paid the counties. Under the proposed bill, revenue from grant laud timber and land sales would bo divided to give the counties ISO per cent, the treasury 25 per cent nfter 8 years and until the deficit has been liquidated, and the interior department 25 per cent for administration. Adminis tration would Include Inauguration of a sustained yield policy on tim ber lauds. The Interior department esti mates present revenues at -$600,000 annually. ,- , . , ,Mott Opposes Claim.
