STANDARD OILS DEFENSE.
Says Stock Jobbers Are at Bottom of
Attack.

Kansas City. Mo. Feb. 17.-John
O'Brien. assistant general manager of
the Prairie Oil & Gas company. which
handles the bulk Of the crude oil pro-
duced in the Kansas and Indian Terri
tory field. was ia Kansas City today
and discussed conditions I'm the Kansas
field. where an agitation against the
Standard Oil company has been carried
TO such an extent that il is being made
a matter of national interest. Mr..
OBrien said:
The Prairie Oil & Gas company's
determination to suspend further con-
stTuctiOn operations in the Kansas and
Indian Territory field follows as nat
ural result OF a hostile agitation which
was designed and carried out, mostly
by stock jobbers. 10 injure the Prairie
Oil & Gas company Tor the Standard
Oil company. as they term iO. The only
way in which these stock jobbers could
ward of the consequence Of an expo
sure Of their operations lay in securing
a plausible excuse, with which TO allay
the clamOr of stockholders.
Few people realize the extent to
which this stock jobbing business has
been carried on in Kansas. Here /
might say that the handbook compiled
by Matthews & Mcmahon of Canute,
Kan. shows sixty-four companies, each
capitalized at 81 goo 600 and over, or an
aggregate of about $4,000. 0O0. with an
aggregate production of 100 barrels
per days. or about twenty-one barrels
production per day to each S1.OO0,OOO Of
capital. 1t Will readily be seen that
the wonderful promises made TO stock
holders have never been carried out,
and the only salvation for the promo
tiers lay in the possibility of placing
the blame on somebody. and the Stand
ard Oil company was selected as the
target. This agitation gives most of
them their only excuse for failure 10
comply with their promises to stock
holders.
Reports to the effect that we have
posted notices decling to buy any
Kansas oil are incorrect, and there is
not one word of truth in them. as well
as in a number Of other reports and
statements that have been published
in the papers designed presumably to
keep up excitement at Topeka, by flood
ing the state with all kinds of sensa-
tiOnai reports"

My attention has been called TO a pnspo-
sition recently made by the Utah Light &
Power company. requesting that votfr
honorable body grant TO IL certain priv

ent franchise for an additional term of
fifty years, and authorizing therein an
advance in rates charged on certain items
OF service.
Mindful of the future welfare of our
city, and as one of It's citizens always de-
sirous of its legitimate advance / pos
se%s i lively interest in the action thus
proposed for the benefit of the Utah
L,ight q Railway company. II is proper
that the city officials take forward steps
in al public affairs. and in the consid-
Grafton of a franchise covering the light
ing service of this city there certainly is
no valid reason why an advance should
be permitted IN what are now unreason-
ably high and extcrtionate charges.
Great Reduction in Cost.
Those familiar with the production az
electric energy know that in recent years

naturally worried about it until word
came that they were safe.
