HENSHAW FALYS
THE INTERESTS
.conunued From Page one,

Love and Commissioner Watson that
they are ready to join me in this in
vestigation and you had as well pre-
pare 10 spend most of your time this
fall and next winter In the fight. The
investigation Is to be made with a
view OF promulgating an order stating
that the price OF oil shall not be raised
at any point in the state without the
permission Of the commission, except
as the price of crude oil is advanced
upon such ratio to be fixed as the re-
suit OF the investigation. That is, If
crude oil should be advanced 1Oc per
barrel how much should refined oil
and gasoline be advanced? II crude
oil declines, how much should the re-
fined decline? II oil Is selling in Kan
sas at &c per gallon, why should 1t not
sell IN Oklahoma at &c per gallon? II
oil is selling in Chicago for 1Oc per
gallon, why should 1t not sell in Okla
homa for 10c per gallon?
Attorneys representing the COM
plainants In this case have started an
investigation that Is OF importance to
the public. In its real beneficial ef-
feet to the public there can be no
comparison between this and the hub
bub that was stirred up in Texas over
the Waters-Pierce company, and which
finally resulted in a loss of $10,000,000
to that state"
Proceed Under Monopoly Section.
The commission will proceed under
the virtual monopoly section OF the
Oklahoma antitrust law. This pro-
yides that where a concern or con-
Germs have for sale commodity upon
which the people must depend, II con-
stitutes virtual monopoly and the
price may be fixed through a proceed
ing before the corporation commits
sion. But one case has been directly
brought under the antitrust laws
since statehood, that being for Grim
inal penalties against number of
cotton dealers and glnners Of Logan
county The case went out OF the
Logan county district court on a de-
murrer, but that holding was reversed,
and the original indictments are pend
ing for trial.
An old case again the Waters.Pierce
Oil company, filed by Attorney Gen
eral West prior to statehood, then act
ing as special attorney for the terri
tory, was revived about two years ago
before the district court at Enid. The
initial arraignment was under the ter
ritory antitrust law, but the attorney
general amended the petition so as
to bring the prosecution within the
new state law, alleging conspiracy
to fix prices. And for a'time he threat
ened to move the court to fix the price
Of oil throughout the state. This would
have necessltated, however abandon.
ment of the penalty feature of the
litigation. II was not done, and the
company compromised with the state
by paying fine in the sum OF $4,000.

The Sunday school class Of an In

OF small boys, was discussing Lot and
how he came to be In eodom. The
teacher told how Abram and Lot had
decided to separate and take their
hocks and servants in opposite direc-
tions and how Lot. probably in his
selnshness, had taken what he regard
cd as the best land, which lay in the
direction of sodom, which was after
ward destroyed By nre. The teacher.
q msu, did not believe in clothing the
talk concerning biblical characters in
mystery or phrases that the small
boys could not understand, but tried
to make them realize that the men Of
biblical times were subject to the
same conditions and influences az are
people OF today.
Now. boys" he said, Lot was not
q real bad man. He didn't plunge into
