The Standard Oil company

The Standard Oil company
ought to move our present Legls-
lature to Kansas, and then it
would not be bothered about get
ting Kansas oil at its own price
Our Legislature seems to be own
ed body and soul by the Standard
and it won't even have to pay any
taxes in our State. The Oil City
Derrick will consider our Legls-
lature as a very just and a very
honest body of men.

last month were 10000 barrels a

rule when a monopoly runs the
