Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1912-08-30

Being asked by the reporter 10 state
his views he remarked as follows;
The Usage lease regulations ppmul-
gated by Assistant Secretary Adams
only emphasizes more aud more how
important for that department IL the
need Of some one In charge familiar
with this situation here In oklahoma,
with reference TO the making of oil
and gas lease regulations Hpth the
secretary and his assistant seem TO
me 10 be inclined at an times to be
fair and sincerely trying 10 arrive at
something Of value TO the Indians and
for his protection and at the Same
time willing to be fair with the oil
producer as they see the light,
In trying TO get for the Usage In
dians a pnc-siNth royalty, Assistant
Secretary Adams has limited the at
tractiveness Of the oil and gas lease
and very much limited the buyer and
In the end the Indians viii profit less.
None of the companies like sixth
royalty, but viii pay bonus for a
one eighth royalty oil and gas lease.
There are some other criticisms TO
he made of the Osage lease regula-
tions, but | haven't the heart to
criticise Mr.. Adams. who l believe IL
trying TO do his very best.
How to get II changed? Now, Mr..
Reporter, you have me stumped' |
suggest kidnapping the man on tho
Job and giving him six months
course as OH Producer here In okla
homa, inasmuch as II never has oc-
CURED TO the Washington authorities
to place some man I'm charge To make
oil and gas regulations who are ia
miliar with the needs Of the busi-
ness.
Seriously, however, we can't KID
nap the assistant secretary, much as
We would like to have him out here
with us and AS much as ew
would IKE 10 have his company, but
we ought to induce him to come out
here and study the situation at close
range and have a more intimate
knowledge Of the needs and require
ments of the oil business, at the same
time affording protection 10 the In
dams If Mohammed cannot go to the
mountain, why, We viii just take the
mountain TO Mohammed. Those lease
regulations offer "A very unattractive
asset To- the producer and are not
by any means blue ribbon prize In
the protection line for the Indian,
