Oil Association Seeks Patents for Active Prospectors
The association and its attorneys argue for patents only for men and companies who were actually engaged in oil work or had made a legitimate effort to discover oil on lands prior to Taft’s September 27, 1909 land withdrawal. They contend the Supreme Court ruling allows confiscation of property for those without a 1909 patent, while those using placer mining laws and diligently drilling should be allowed to continue toward patent.
