countered are times when principle must come before Proponents of the measure argued many people are being labelled criminals for possession of marijuana who are otherwise productive citizens Opponents argued the resolu tion was poorly worded and made it appear the Republicans were favoring legalization of the drug The resolution would have favored fines for personal possession and use of

delay the measure for awhile Even if House and Senate i a find common ground on some issues the compromises may prove unac ceptable to one or the other body Key differences between the two bills include surfacggwier rights exemptions for yJer coal operators mining in the avlluvial valleys of the West and the extent to which reclaimed lands must approxi mate their original contours In the Senate bill mining of government owned coals in privately owned lands would require consent of the surface owner unless the secretary of interior decided it was the national interest" to mine the coal The Senate bill unlike the House bill would give a two year exemption from applica tion of the federal standards to coal mines that produce less than 100000 tons a year Such mines are estimated to produce about a third of the coal The House bill would ban strip mining in alluvial valleys but would not apply to mines already in operation in 1976 or to those which have state permits issued prior to 1977 The Senate relaxed the ban by limiting it to areas where it would affect farming and ranching The Senate bill also would let miners leave vertical cuts in the land if they get state approval and the area will be used for residen tial commercial or recreational development Besides requiring coal opera tors to restore lands damaged by future mining the legisla tion would create a reclamation fund for erasing the scars of past mining operations The fund would be supported by a tax of 35 cents a ton on strip mined coal and 15 cents on coal from deep mines When ydu think SOLAR
