HENSHAW FLAYS
THE INTERESTS
Corporation Commission Will lnvesti-
gate Oklahoma Oil.

Oklahoma City, July 24.-At hear
ing held in Idabel affecting the price
OF refined oil charged in that commun.
ity, George A. Henshaw, member of
the corporation commission, gave no
tice that the commission would issue
a proposed order, upon which public
hearing would be held, with view of
determining why the product should
be sold in one place, plus the trans.
Iportation charge, higher than in an
other. The order will be issued in a
few days, as explained by Mr.. Hen.
shaw in the following statement made
to the oil company representatives in
court at Idabel:
Fixing the price of commercial
commodity is new phase Of regula,
tion. Oklahoma is the only state that
/ know of that has attempted a matter
of this magnitude, and this is the first
case that has been filed before the
commission. The Idabel case was
filed at time when we were consider.
ing the making of an investigation,
and we thought if it was heard inde.
pendent of the general investigation,
1t might assist us in the course OF
which we will ultimately pursue.
There has been much legislation
attempted to control prices which
were the outgrowth of combinations
or monopolies. In. the oil business the
Standard and its subsidiaries such as
the Waters-Pierce, and in fact, all
other companies operating here, with
the possible exception of one, control
the Oklahoma market The Standard
and its subsidiaries have virtual
monopoly; that is, such independent
companies as may exist could not
supply One-fourth of the demand
hence, the larger oil companies make
the price The Waters Pierce Oil com
pany was put out Of Texas; another
company of the same type was or
ganized to take its place, and them the
great fuss and muss was settled in
that state. The reputation of some
of its great men had been impaired
and the net result of the whole trans
action was citizens of Texas were
forced to buy oil at 25 to 40 pei
cent advance in price, the oil com
panies making about $lO,OOOoOO in the
deal.

Trusts Here to stay.

Politicians claim they break the
trusts. President Taft claims he has
been busting them Roosevelt simply
explodes them. Many demagogues
have ridden into Office on the back of
the trusts, telling the people they have
been busting them. Whatever they
are, judging from the lack Of success
the trust-buster and the courts are
here to stay, and this is doubly true
unless We get different federal judi
ciary than has been appointed by Pres
ident Taft. The only effect this trust
busting has had could be compared
to a tree frog, which changes its color
when it sits on different objects the
same old frog is there, but with a diff
ferent outside appearance.
The commission will issue a pro-
posed order to investigate why the
price of oil should be more plus the
freight rate, in one locality than in
another The inquiry will attempt to
ascertain why crude oil can be sent to
Whiting, Ind, manufactured and the
refined oil sold for SC less per gallon
than it is sold when manufactured in
Oklahoma, the point of production.
The investigation will attempt to as
certain why oil is advanced within a
days time without any reason there
for, and at the same time without ad-
vancing the price of crude oil.
"The Standard Oil company may
deserve more consideration than it is
usually given because of the articles
manufactured out of the by-products
of crude oil. 1t manufactures and de-
yelops a market for something over
thirty-one commodities 1t has built
Iup a market for the commodities
thereby and enabling it to sell refined
oil cheaper and pay correspondingly
more for crude oil. If it had those
things patented, the government
would have to allow remuneration
under the patent laws. However, the
public has paid the Standard Oil com
pany for the development of this in
dustry more than billion of dollars,
and we feel that it is now time to as
certain what it costs to refine a barrel
of crude oil and what 1t sells for in
different parts of the country.
Commission is Agreed.
II want to say to the attorneys rep
resenting the great oil companies that
| have the assurance Of Chairman

STATE BOARD
MAKES FEW RAISES
Majority of the Counties Are Left as
!, Returned BY the County
Assessors.

Land values in Oklahoma county
were given boost of an even 40 per
cent over the figures returned by the
county assessors when the state board
OF equalization reached this county
Wednesday, while personal property
was raised 20 per cent over the as
SCISSORS figures. Town lots have not
been touched by the board as yet, but
will be considered today.
In majority of the counties taken
up and equalized thus far, the returns
OF the assessors were accepted. There
were a few reductions. Alfalfa coun-
ty getting 10 per cent off on both farm
lands and personal property. OF the
few changes made thus far, more have
been in the nature of reductions than
in increases. In Cleveland county, the
value of personal property was raised
33 1-3 per cent.
The value of farm lands in Okla
homa county, as returned by the as
SCISSOR was s24.59 per cent, on the
average. The 40 per cent raise will
mean that the valuation will be on an
average of $S4.4S per acre. This will
be sent back to the excise board OF
the county with instructions to dis
tribute the raise in an equitable way.
One Of the principal objections to the
raise made last year was that after
the increase had been made by the
state board of equalization, 1t was not
distributed properly.
The 20 per cent raise in the valua-
tion of personal property means an
increase in the taxable wealth of the
county of approximately $S,O0O,0O0,
the figures as rendered by the asses
sor being about $15,000,0O0.
The board will meet again this morn
ing, and it is probable that the work
of equalization will have been COM
pleted by noon, Judging by the time
made Wednesday
Books Turned over.
The force in the county assessors s
Office Wednesday completed the work
Of entering on the books of the county
the changes in valuations made by
the county equalization board and the
books were turned over for the inspec-
tion Of the state board of equalization
The county excise board is sched'
uled to convene in regular meeting
next Saturday, but it is the general
opinion voiced by members of that
body that it will be unable to get down
work. Some expect that it will be
impossible to get hold of the assessors
books because the state board will not
be through with them: others say
that though the books have been re
turned from the state board there will
be many. tables of local and compare
tive data that the assessor must com
pile. which will not be ready for the
excise board How soon it will be
able to make the actual levy rate can
not be predicted

TyDIOOns and Gains.


During the 22-year period. 1880
1901, 25 typhoons occurred in Asiatic
waters in May, as against 10 in April
and Al in June, says the North Pa
cifc meteorological chart just issued,
They originate near the Pelcw Islands
and move across the Philippines, then
generally recurve to the northeast,
The typhoons most likely to prove
dangerous to Manila are those of May,
September, October and November,
Gains are frequent along the Amer
lean coast south of the 25th parallel,
except west of Lower California They
occur one-half of the time off the
coast near Champerico. The percent
age Is 20 to 35 between ATTITUDES and
10 degrees north as far west as long
itude 1876 degrees west. Around the
Philippines Gains occur one-fourth of
the time and around Borneo and the
Celebes one-half of the time.
