This feudal system was abandoned in

fostering the old feeling IN the hearts

about the gas industry or the purpose

gas to sell. They did not care whether
the customer lived in Kansas or Mis-

they had it. They declared their pur-
pose of piping gas to Kansas City and
other places.
When the gas business had been suf-
ficiently developed to demonstrate that,
in the building of towns and cities, IT
was even a more important factor than
oil, the Kansas Gas Protective associa-

Since that refusal things have
changed radically. The Kansas Natural
Gas company no longer has a practical
monopoly of the gas supply of Kansas

have been drilled all over the field, un-

GAS WAR STILL ON.

Chanute, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE meet

pany for an injunction restraining
anyone with the work of the construc-
ton of their pipe line from Independ-
ence, Kan, to Joplin, Mo-, and re-
stralning county officers from prose
cutting their employees. The work of
laying the pipe line of the Kansas
Natural Gas company has been Sc
seriously retarded. Their pipe line
has been torn up, their laborers ar
retsed for obstructing public high
ways and threats have been made
against their men.
The issue to be determined is
whether gas can be piped out of the

largest interest, by reason of being the
nearest great city to the gas field. The

in Chanute. The cry has been, kan
sas gas for Kansas people" Yet dur
ing all the time the gas has been here
there has been so little of it used that
it would not run three or four big
manufacturing plants.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
and others who are interested in the
development of the natural gas indus
try have spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars. They call attention to the
fact that the gas was discovered by
outsiders, has been developed by out
1iders, and that the men who organized
the protective association from d. NJ
Kennedy, the president, down the line
are not producers of gas, and most of
them consume only that which is used
tn their own houses. There is some
thing like 3 million dollars invested in
the gas business in southeastern Kan
sas and four-fifths of this money was
invested by outsiders. When O'Neill
and Barnsdall. who were the pioneer
gas operators in Kansas, began to buy
elsewhere believed they were foolish.
OIL was the only thing then and oil was
the only thing anybody thought about
or cared about. But O'Neill went on
