Walsh Opposes Oil Policy
- Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, visited the White House to
place before the president hie ob
jections to the oil policy, which
prevents any additional exploita
tion or oil lands of the public do
main. Although not included in
the president's previously prepar
ed engagement list, the Montana
senator readily was admitted to
Mr. Hoover's office. He said he
told the chief executive that In
his opinion the new policy would
retard the development ot his
state and give to other western
public land states, where the ex
ploitation of government oil al
ready is in progress, a tremendous
advantage.

42 Court, :
TO
Senator Jones, republican
Washington, declared his belief
that house reapportionment legis
lature should be approved at the
.extra session, but otherwise he
said, he felt the session should be
limited to farm relief and tariff
revision, the two subjects suggest
ed by the chief executive.
Six on Commission
Under the proposed treaty a
commission of elx would be creat
ed to deal with the salmon situa
tion, consisting of the federal
commissioner of fisheries, wo
members from the state of Wash
ington and three from the vro
vince ot British Columbia. jTI i
n&et. Senator Jones exnlalned. f
oeen penaing ana reaay tor rati
fication for several months, but
the state department thought it
best to put it off until -President
Hoover had taken office.
Chairman Fenn ot the house
census committee also discussed
the subject of house reapportion
ment with the president He said
a duplicate of the reapportionment
bill passed by the house at the last
session would be ready for Intro,
ductlon the first day of the special
session. After leaving Mr. Hoo
ver's office, he said, he believed
the president agreed with him that
reapportionment ehould be effect
ed at the special session.
Woman Is Caller
Another caller was Mrs. Edith
Nourse Rogers, republican repre
sentative from Massachusetts. She
said she told Mr. 'Hoover that she
felt New England was being dis
criminated against with regard to
ships, shipping and shipping rates.
The1 farm relief problem was
brought up by Senator Smith,
democrat, South Carolina, who
declared the agriculture commit
tees ot the house and senate would
cooperate in evolving a remedy
tor the agricultural depression.
During the day it was learned
that, while the resignation of
Charles H. Burke, as commission,
er of the bureau ot Indian affairs
in the interior department, is to
bo accepted. Burke will be con.
tinned in the government service
at another post.
The medal presented to the
president today was a gold repro
duction of bronse emblems which
were sold 'to the Inaugural day
crowds as souvenirs. The proceeds
were used by the local committee
to help defray the cost of the col
oration.

As further details of the ad

todar. it was Xouna that K was

neared with Its disclosure yester
day by President Hoover in reply
to questions irom newspaper cor
respondents. Permitees who hare made rea

fort to develon oil wells will be
granted leases undQthe general
leasine act. but there will be no
leasing of adjacent lands as is au
thorized by the- general leasing
act ot 1320.
Aside from the leases which the
government may feel In duty
bound to issue to holders of pros
pective permits, the only others
which it is proposed to grant will
be for offset wells which may be
necessary to prevent the drainage
ot oil from public lands through
wells on contiguous private prop
erty.
Act of 102O Is Cited
In issuing orders that the land
officers reject pending applica
tions for permits and receive no
more, such applications. Secretary
Wilbur made public the interpre
tation the general land office has
plated upon the 1920 act, which
states that the secretary of the
interior Is hereby authorized un
der such necessity and proper
rules and regulations as he may
prescribe to grant to an applicant
qualified under this act a pros
pecting permit."
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon

views that congress and not the
president should decide a policy of

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Help Neutralize In-
tating Acids
... . - ,
Kidney and bladder irritations
often result from acidity, says a
noted authority. The kidneys help
filter this acid from the blood and
nass it on to the bladder, where
it mar remain to irritate and in
flame, causing a burning, scald
ing sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant
dread; the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation
and is Very profuse; again, there
to difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks
call It because they can't control
urination. While it is extremely!
annoying and sometimes very
painful, this is often one of the
most simple ailments to overcome.
Begin drinking lots of soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts irom your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass ot
water before breakfast Continue
this for two or three days. This
will help neutralize the acids in
the system so they no longer are
a source of Irritation to the blad
der and urinary organs, which
then act normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with
lithia. and is used by thousands i
ot folks who are subject to urin
ary disorders caused by acid Irri
tation. Jad Salts causes no oaa
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, ef
fervescent lithia-water drink
which may quickly, relieve your
bladder irritation. adv.
