OIL OPERATORS TO
PROTEST DECREE
Interior Departments With
drawal of Many Acres in
State Held Unfair
Convention Called at Bakers
field for Tomorrow TO Form
uIate Plan of Action

Declaring the action of the depart
ment Of the interior in Withdrawing
several thousand acres of oil lands in
California as unjust and unfair the in
dependent oil operators Of the state
affected by the decree win meet in con-
Vention at Bakersfield tomorrow and
formulate a course of. procedure to
have the order modified or cancelled.
The call for the convention was sent
out by Charles Fox, editor Of the Cali
f0Tnia OIL World. and there viii be
present ut the convention some of the
biggest independent operators Of the
state. together with their attorneys.
While the oilmen feel that their claims
viii be upheld in the federal courts
they realize that to fight the United
States government through 10 the su-
preme court viii mean endless delays
and vast expenditures of money. and
this they wish to avoid if possible
Their hope is that if the situation is
made clear TO Secretary BalIinger and
President Taft the order viii be modi-
fed
As the situation stands the indepen-
dent operators declare that the step
taken by BaIlinger is virtual con
dscation Of property. Before the order
went into effect hundreds of operators
had located claims there and went to
great expense in sinking wells and
Improving their various properties, and
now they see all their labor and money
being swept from them. The aim is to
have the order modified so as TO allow
those who located the claims before
the department Of the interior acted an
opportunity Of proving up. Some of the
wells are within few weeks OF strik-
ing oil.

FINANCES
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Receipts More and Disbnrse-
ments Less Than in August
of Last Year


WASHINGTON, Sept with an in
crease of $s,27S.s25 in the public debt
and a total deficit of $17,371.4 .46S.OS. the
United States treasury. closed the sec
ond month of the fiscal year, keeping
on an even keel, all circumstances con-
Sldered, with a working balance Of
S3O,S26,O57.23 on hand and the general
1und down to $50 ,523. 207.59.
The increase in public debt, which is
a complete turnover of S4,OO0,000 in
round numbers from the month of July.
IS due largely to an excess of national
bank deposits over redemptiOns.
Total receipts in the month of August
were S54,969. .253.64 roughly $4,000 900
more than for the same month last
year. This brings the receipts of this
year over the s113 600. 900 mark and
$4,000 900 better than those of the pre-
ceding year.
With a drain of about S2,5o0 600 a
month for the Panama canal, the Ordi-
nary disbursements for August totaled
S5S,53S,7S7.74, running a shade ahead of
the same month last year. $4,000. 900
under last month and making S126,-
950,496.90 for the present year, some
S4.000,000 better than the record for
the same time a year ago.
For the month alone the government
was around S4,O00,000 behind on the
ordinary receipts.

No extraordinary demands upon the

Statement by Attorney

Attorney E. j. McCutchen gave the
following interview regarding the
Spring Valley company's attitude on
the water situation:
The Spring Valley water company
has had absolutely no intimation nor
communication from the mayor regard
ing the latest proposition for the pur-
chase of the company's property. The
company has no knowledge of the mat
ter at all except what has been pub
lished in the press.
4 could not say what attitude the
company would take toward the propo-
sition. That is matter for the board
of directors to pass upon. The board
holds its next regular meeting about
the middle of September.
Mr.. Bourn is now in Great Britain.
1t is not probable that the board of
directors would act in SO important
matter without his presence. though it
is not impossible OF course, he could
be reached In fact. he keeps in touch
with the affairs of the company now
McCutchen was asked concerning the
recent purchases of the Spring Valley
company. on which Mccarthy has
placed such great store. 'The company
may have acquired additional proper
ties" replied the attorney cautiously,
but l could not discuss them
