The Standard in Kansas.

The Standard Oil company has quit
buying oil in Kansas. It has stopped
work on its refinery, tanks and pipe
lines, aud has advised producers thru
out the state to cease drilling. This
action is the outcome of a bill in the
Kansas legislature for a state refinery
and of other. sociaEstic moves that are
hateful to the monopoly of Rockefeller.
The stoppage of work creates q situation
that is full of peril to the men who have
invested their money in the production
of oil in the Kansas field. Oil has been
found in paying quantities; in fact the
daily capacity Of the wells already
down is over $4,000 barrels. The
meat Of the cocoanut is, however, in the
fact that there is no outlet for Kansas
oil, except thru the pipe lines Of the
Standard Oil company. Having this
monopoly, the octopus has also the exclu-
sive right to fix the price Of oil. It has
varied the price greatly in the past two
years, giving the producers as high as
$1.20 a barrel and as low as SO cents,
which it is now paying.
The oil producers are not satisfied
with this price, and have made a move
for two things, for a state refinery and
to have the Standard pipe line made~a
common carrier. The Standard has re.
torted by stopping all work in the Kan.
sas oil fields, canceling contracts fol-
pipe and tanks and generally taking &C.
tion that will reduce the oil industry
of Kansas to q dead issue.
The oil men claim, however, to be not
thru yet. They are figuring on the
cost of an independent pipe line to the
Gulf of Mexico, which would relieve
them from the burden of working fol
the Standard, merely for their boar6
and clothes. The gulf pipe line is a biz
proposition, involving an expenditure Of
10000, 900, but they believe that will
