WILL BE A HARD FIGHT

Colum bus (Ohio) Dispatch: The
enterprising state of Kansas is en-.
gagged in a greater fight with trust
than even the President of the
United States, who is supposed te
be battling with all the monopolies.
Kansas is wrestling with the Stand
ard Oil monopoly, and has mapped
ou: very interesting plan whereby
10 overcome her formidable antag-
onist, and even If she fails the Rock
efellers will know that they have
besn in the battle of their lives.
The sturdy citizens of Kansas,
however, have no thought of failure.
they simply want the right to sell
oil from their thousands of wells tc
consumers at reasonable prices, and
do not intend to allow the Standard
Company to force them out of bust
ness, If they can help il. They have
therefore, got the Legislature to pas
a Law appropriating s4Io, 900 fo'
the purpose of building a state OF
r Emery.
In addition to this law aud t.
further strengthen them for the i'm
pending struggle, the general eour
has passed four other acts, to-wit
To prohibit price discrimination il
different towas, intended to stifle 10
cal competition; to make STANDARD
Oil pipe lines common carriers, tn
same as railroads; TO FIX maximum
freight rates for the transportation
of oil in tank cars; and to give th'
state railroad commissioner th'
right to investigate and adjus
freight charges, svitehing rates ant
other shipping fees.
That the fight will be q bitter an'
costly one Is evidenced by q state
ment attributed to counsel fer th'
Standard folks that IL will cost th'
state Sac, 600, 600 to win II.

THE CHARM ANSHIP

The politicians are beginning to
be exercised little over who is to
take StubbS' place as chairman OF
the State Central Committee.
Somehow the word has got out
that Mr.. Roycei is the coming man.
That is not likely and probably
has no foundation.
There were 4 few of the ambitious
working Republicans that opposed
Mr.. Royce for the place of Bank
Commissioner. He was appointed
and thsy took their medicine, with
some grievances, truly, but quietly
in the main.
We hardly think Mr.. Royce
wsuld care for the place and do no
think it would be a wise move te
force it on to him.

IN BAD SHAPE

Strike conditions In Chicago are
in very bad shape. All efforts at
settling the difficulty seem to have
failed and the strike is spreading.
The sheriff has made the statement
that he is unable TO cope with the
situation and that In case OF any
further rioting he will ask the gov
ernor for troops. The governor
will pro nptly act on the call OF the
sheriff.
About four thousand rhilitiamen
are all ready on short notice. In
a few hours they can be In the city.
If that gang of Chicago toughs
insist on being shot down, they are
in fair way to realize their desires. i.

OIL INTERESTS

The Standard Company has an
nounced that it will have Its pipe
line completed to Whitipg, Indiana,
today, and will then be able to han
die IS, 900 barrels Of Oklahoma and
Kansas oil per day. They may have
that capacity but will that do this
field much good with only eight
properties connected up2
The Standard may say some nice
things to tho Kansas producer and
make some glittering promises for
the future, but the producefs of
Kansas have found out by bitter ex-
perience that their promises are
only made to be broken. The prom
ises seem to be very good till the
purposes for which they were made
are served and then they are only
to bs broken. The producers of
Kansas have learned that they can
not depend on the Standard for a
market and have taken the bits in
their teeth determined TO work out
their own salvation aRd find their
own market independent Of this co..
poration of greed. The Santa Fe
seems, now, TO have cut loose from
the Standard and has offered to give
the producers rates for Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska that will enable
them to compete with all corners on
the crude. The wonderful possibil-
tiles of crude oil for fuel is just be-
ginning to be appreciated. It's the
coming fuel for this great middle
west where coal is scarce and high
and as soon as fair rates are estab
lished and its great merit become:
generally known, there will be dc
mand for all the low grade oil Kan
sas can produce.
Independent rehneries are goint
10 be built all over the field that will
take up great portion of the higi
test oil and prices ON the crude ar
bound to advance to very prohla
Die basis. All these good thing
can not come about in day or
month, but they are bound to com
in reasonable time.
1t is big proposition to arrang
t to take care of and handle the yer
! large product of Kansas now, who
a market has to be made and facil
ties for handling arranged.
And, when prices are right, tn
t production will be doubled, all c
which has to be taken into consic
. Grafton in plans for the future. W
consider this pipe line scheme t.
Kansas City one of the best tbs
has been devised and it locks like
will be able to handle large quan
tity of the Kansas oil that is th
least profitable to refine, for fut
, purposes.
The men interested in this enter
prise are business men OF wide ex
perience and they are pushing tn
work with great deal of vim. 1t l
a great big enterprise involving tn
expenditure of many millions of dol
lars and has made rapid progres
considering the magnitude of tn
undertaking.
All told we think the darkest day
of the oil men have passed and al
ready the silver lining begins &
