GARFIELD is ASKED TO INvEsTl.
GATE UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
in KANSAS.
PROTECTION" THE CRY
Kansas House Passes Resolution De-
mandlns Stringent Law Kan
sas Oil Producers Association Says
Trust Has Acted In Bad Faith.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 15.-In the
house today a resolution was adopted
requesting the secretary Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor to in
vestigate the cause of the low price of
crude oil or petroleum in the United
States, especially in the Kansas field,
tween the price of crude oil or pc
troleum and the selling price of re-
fined oil and its by-products.
Consideration of the naval appropri-
alton bill was then resumed.
Want Protection.
Topeka, Kans., Feb. 15. - The house
has by unanimous vote adopted a
resolution urging the Kansas delega-
tion in congress to prepare and sup
port q bill ito control the Standard
Oil company and protect the oil in
dustry of Kansas from destruction by
the greatest monopoly the world has
ever known"
Victim Of False Assurance.
In an address to the public the ex-
ecutive committee of the Kansas Oil
Producers association says:
There have been assurances to
members of the association by officers
of the Standard that the price of oil
would be as good as So a barrel before
the end of 1904. and these letters are
signed by officers Of the Prairie Oil
and Gas company.
'We wrote to them when the inde.
pendent refiners Of Pennsylvania were
making inquiries as to what they could
get in the field and the Standard as
sured us that they would do more for
us than the Independents could pos
sibly do and that was to take care
of our oil.
I'VE have given over to them every
means of storing. transportation, and
marketing of oil. Had we believed for
q moment that they did not mean
wha they said, had be believed for a
moment that they we're at the time
they were giving us assurance Of their
friendship, plotting for the fall of the
field, we long ago would have made
such arrangements as would have
made the Standard occupy anything
but first place in the oil industry In
this state.
Record Of Broken Promises.
"The whole record Of the Standard
Oil company In Kansas has been a rec.
ord Of broken promises, of treachery
to every interest which is making for
the material prosperity of the state, OF
|duplicity, deception, and wrong. There
is not single instance where they
have kept faith with anybody.
There is not a single instance
where they have even kept faith with
the people they claim to be their
friends. 1t is record from start to
finish of oppression, Of favoritism, OF
discrimination, and of lawbreaking.
"They say they are buying oil in
Kansas now when every producer o1
oil in the state who Is not OF the pay
roll knows that the statement is a
| lie.
"In this fight against the Standard
Oil company We appeal to the record
to show that they have done nothing
in this state, that they have not made
a profit out of, they have done moss
ing in this state that the producers
did not pay for, that they have done
nothing in this state that did not yiel6
