many oil producers told me that the
were actually becoming poorer every
DAY; that their wells were producing
oil that DIZZY could moi dispose Of The

The Development OF our vast naulra

vicinity were anxious 10 have this pipe
line built know this because
talked with Mr. TillOison. who live
at Nowata. which Is about the start
Ing place Of this pipe line. Nne ou
Of every ten OF the oil producers were
anxi0ns to have this pipe line built :
icr lhc time beipg they could sell IN
products OF their wells TO ihe Stand
ard Oil company. 70 is true that thi
company did not pay what lie OIL wai
worth, but stil they would give a faiI
price and carry the oil Ori OF the aonn
try in their pipe lines. It was utterl
impossible fer the independent pipe

Haskell. listening to the oil pr0duc
crs, concluded 10 strain a point ard
allow this road 10 be bailt so that II
would furnish an outlet for the pro
ductions Of oil, and that is all there ID
to &C. This line can huri nc one. Men
do not have 20 patronige it II they Dc
not want TO- An Independent pipe
line can be built and the oil carried
away in that manner, but there Is not
capital enough at this time to do that
The state OF Oklahoma must depend
upon outside capital to develop these
oil fields and there need be no fear
al any time OF them encroaChing upon
The rights OF the people as we will
always have our splendid constitution
10 fall back upon and can, az any Tine
stop ANY illegal action by any pipe
line. This Is an there Is 10 IL. The
building Of the pipe line is not one
dollars benefit 10 AIR, Haskell but Il
Is a source Of vast relief 10 the oil
producers Of eastern Oklahoma. Mr.
West is going out OF his way 10 fight
Governor Haskell on this proposition
There Is nothing thar oklahoma
