Bill for Regulating Pipe
Lines Is Favored by
All Classes.
SOME LIKE KANSAS IDEA
In the Meanwhile the Sun
flower State Is Ablaze With
Enthusiasm.

DALLAS, Tex. Feb. 2o.-The oil issue
is becoming acute in the Texas Legisla-
ture. The independent companies have
been clamoring for legislation to protect
them against the extortion which they
say the Standard Oil Company, IN con-
troll of the pipe lines in Texas. practices,
and they are very irate.
There is pending in the Legislature
now what is known as the Decker pipe
line bill. This measure has been under
discussion several days. 1t proposes to
regulate the pipe line rates and traffic in
the interest OF all oil producers in Texas.
The Standard Oil representatives are OPP
posing the passage Of the bill. according
10 Senator Decker and others.
1t has been agreed that If the Decker
bill. or some measure approximating its
provisions. IS not passed. its friends will
use their efforts to pass a bill providing
for the building of a State refinery and
pipe line facilities, the provisions of the
bill TO be similar TO those of the new
law Of Kansas, just signed by Governor
Fioch
Much sympathy is manifested for the
Decker bill, and some Endorsement given
to the State refinery and pipe line idea.

Artesian Well Owners Meeting.

There will be a meeting Of the own
ers of artesian wells in the Pecos
Valley, at the district court room in
Roswell Saturday, August S, 1905, at
one o'clock p. m. for the purpose OF
considering and interchanging views
upon the question as to the legality
of the license fee of five dollars per
the Act of Feb. %, 1905, governing
artesian wells. The provisions of
the new artesian well law as whole
are believed to be wholesome and
beneficial to the public.
A disposition is broadcast among
artesian well owners to test this par
ticular provision of the law in the
courts, IL it shall be found open to
legal attacks 1t is hoped that all
artesian well owners in the Valley
will be present at the appointed meet
ing, and that those who cannot be
present in person will send delegates
or proxies to represent them. This
Is a tax that IL submitted to will pro-
badly continue for years, and with
the rapid increase of artesian wells
will soon become a heavy burden
upon the development of the Valley
and upon artesian well owners.
