Hearst On Trusts.
The New York Editor and Presi-
Dental Candidate Calls for an
Investigation-Evils
Enumerated.

I. William Randolph Hearst is a
member Of congress- He has in
troducsd a resolution providing for
an investigation Of the trust ques-
tion BY 4 committee Of FIVE mem-
bers Of the house. The resolutions
contain ten clauses reciting the
evil effects Of trusts on the coun-
try, among them being the follow
ing:
Numerous illegal combinations
known as trusts have been formed
to absorb or eliminate competition
and establish virtual monopolies
with a few to controlling produc-
ton and raising the price of their
products"
Such extortionate trusts as the
beef trust and the coal trust and
The ice trust have arbitrarily in
creased the cost Of the necessities
of life TO the public"
Such speculative trusts as the
shipyards trust and the steel trust
have inflated their stock to many
times its actual value ard sold 10
the public, transferring the people 5
money from banks and legitimate
investments intn the pockets Of
trust promoters und Spectators.
industrial unrest has been TO-
mented by The increased. cost Of liy-
ing and by the ieohsedueft neces-
fsary efforts Of labor to make its
wages keep pace with the increased
cost Of Living
Such trusts asNthe steel trust,
III spite Of the increased cost Of liv-
ing, have ruthlessly crt down the
wages Of hundreds Of thousands 81
empIoyes III order 10 pay dividends
on watered stock, and other trusts
have wholly collapsed throwing
hundreds Of thousands of workmer
out Of employment
"The purchasing power Of The
community has becn diminished b.
the increasing demands Of ths
trusts by unsound and reprehensi
Bile methods which have misled tbs
people, swindled them and robbed
them Of their savings
All classes Of the communit,
are being made to feel the evil in
luence. of the unrestrained greco
and lawless practices Of the trust
The committee is directed to in
form the house fully on the trus
! situation, 10 the end that more ef
fective laws may be prepared AM
passed by congress regulating anc
restricting combinations. Th

will not only nourish a particular
part of the body. but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, Its nutri'
ment Is destroyed by indigestion OF

December Field
Operations

operations
December winds up a notable
year In the history of the petroleum
Industry with a drop In completed
wells ard new operations and an
increase In new production. The
gain In new production was over
400 barrels, which brings he new
yield very close to the figures of
the August report. The year just
ended will be remembered chiefly
for the great activity displayed In
all sections of the producing re
qion, and the small results achieved
In the way of bringing about the
discovery of new pools and main
taining the supply OF crude petro
leum.
The Lima oil fields of North.
western Ohio and Indiana reveal
decline both In wells completed
and new production, while the new
work under way on the last of tn.
month was very nearly a standott
with hat of November The
Buckeye regions showed decrease
of 452 barrels In new production
and the Indiana of 69S barrels
The combined decline In both
fields was 288 barrels less than the
gain In the new production OF the
Pennsylvania districts. These fac's
show that during the past month
the territory under the drill In the
Pennsylvania oil regions has
Welded much better returns than
usual, while In Ohio and Indiana
the drilling has been confined to
older territory that has been
drained to considerable extent by
former operations.
In the sections producing Penn
sylvania oil fewer wells were com
pleted In December than In No
vember. Nine more wells were
completed In November than In
October, while the latter month was
one ahead of September. September
was 81 behind August, which com
pleted more wells than anv other of
the present year. Nearly 200 rigs
and drilling wells were under way
In the New York, Pennsylvania,
tWest Virginia, Ohio and Indiana
fields at the close of December and
new wells were completed at the
rate of az every "a hours.
The new production from the
Pennsvania oil fields was 1,43S bar
rels more In December than In No
" mber, while In the Trenton rock
fields 1t was 1850 barrels less. Both
sections show a falling off of 264 In
the number of completed wells. In
November the new yield from
Pennsylvania districts was 459 bar
rels more than In October. In the
Trenton rock fields there was a de
cline of II wells and a falling of
of 1895 barrels In the new produc-
ton. rhis made net decrease Of
the new yield from both sections of
l736 barrels, while the decline In the
number oil wells completed was
only eight. In October there was
a net increaie of 81 wells completed
In the eastern and western oil fields,
accompanied by a decline of 1891
barrels In the new production.
The fields producing Pennsyl-
vania oil completed 67S we'll In
December, inclusive of 131 busters
and 81 gassers. The average of
the productive wells was over IS
barrels. In new operations there
was decrease of "a, exactly Offset
ting the gain of "a recorded In the
report for November. Compared
with December, 1902, there was an
increase of 81 wells completed and
