GAS SUPPLY MUST
Be CONSERVED
FEDERAL INSPECTOR REPORTS
ON OKLAHOMA FlElO-WElIS
CANNOT STAND DRAIN.

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. 17.--Okla-
homa is confronted with a situation
alarming in the extreme from a nat
urai gas standpoint, and unless
something can be done by the state
at an early date to conserve the
supply of gas in Oklahoma, this sta,e
will be held in the same position
as Kansas, Indiana and Ohio, whose
supply of gas was at one time con-
sidered inexhaustible.
This in substance was the testi-
mony of d. C. Morrison, United
States oil and gas inspector of East
ern Oklahoma, before representatives
of Kansas City who are under an
order of the United States court
probing into the natural gas supply OF
Oklahoma. Morrison, w. NJ. Baker
and other officials connected with
the government said that the stories
Of unlimited gas supply in the state
were exaggerated, and with docu-
ments showing actual tests proved
that many of the great gas wells OF
the state were a myth. it was ad-
mitted that there is a large guam
tity of gas in Oklahoma, but stated
that unless it was conserved it would
soon be exhausted, or the Oklahoma
fields could not stand the drain upon
its gas supply from towns in Kansas,
Missouri and other states. 1t was
shown that while the population of
the state had increased 100 per cent

in the last five years. The inves-

and the Kansas Natural Gas Com
pany. 1t was SHOWN that while
many new gas wells rad been brought
in their flow did not come up to
the reported amount. and the addi-
tional supply would scarcely be no.

STATE PRINTER
TAKES EXCEPTION
TO PORTION OF GOV. CRUCES
MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE
PERTAINING TO PRINTING.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 16.-Giles w.
Farris, state printer, takes excep-
ton to that portion Of Governor
Cruces annual message to the legls-
lature, which urges that the State
Printing Department be abolished
and the work be given ever to the
State Board of fairs, and he an
swered the message in letter TO
the governor today. In part, he
says:
"Why YOU should single out and
make a target of the State Printer is
a mystery to mo. but | am inclined
to believe that you have not inves-
tigated thoroughly, or you have been
misinformed You say that the
Board OF Affairs has reduced the
amount of claims approximately ST.
600 during the last three months
but you do not state in your mes
sage that the State Printer during
his present term of office has saved
tn the taxpayers an amount exceed
ing $4,000.
This department is preparing
report. which will substantiate the
foregoing statement Every item OF
printing. for wnom done and the
persons doing the work, is on file in
this department, and our records Will
show that the State Printers De
rartment has not cost the taxpayers
one cent: on the contrary, has saved
to the state an enormous amount
through careful checking up of the
claims. NY reason for replying to
that part of your message referring
to the State Printing Department is
to let you and the public know who
is responsible for the saving OF many
thousand dollars to the state and to
place the credit where it belongs.
Our records will show that on one
item of printing there was as much
as s424 saved the state by checking
and reducing the claim to the prop
er amount.
Il also call your attention to the
fact that you db not mention in your
message the extravaganza OF any
other department, neither do you
mention that salaries are being paid
clerks of other departments in ex-
cess of the appropriations made
therefor.
While I have always favored an
economical administration of public
affairs. your suggestion looks ridic-
ulous when you recommend the hand
ling of the state printing by an ap-
pointive board, the members of which
are not supposed to know the value
of printed matter, and why you
should advocate to have the printing
controlled by them in preference 10
practical printer of twenty-five
years experience, and Who has been
elected by the people Of the state
is mystery to me If you will in
vestigate the matter, I am sure you
will take a different view of it."
