prise ana industry Of her citizenship.
Many millions Of dollars annually are
here produced from natures store
house in the way Of crude petroleum
and natural gas, and this augmented
by the agricultural products Of her
rich valleys and fertile plains, should
be permanent ana lasting founda-
tiou to "a greater wealth which must
necessarily develop with the coming
years.
TO the inexperienced in matters per-
tanning to oil and gas, the success de-
rived from these commodities may
seem transitory and unstable.
That this viewpoint is untenable and
without foundation, may be proven by
the operations Of those who are iden-
tlfied with the business, and in many
cases have spent long years in its de-
Vclopmeut. If we consider the vast
amount Of money That has been in
vested in the development, manufac-
ture and transportation Of petroleum
products and natural gas, we should
all feel at ease IN regard to the per-
mancncy and value OF this industry.
Tulsa is the axis about which this
great business revolves, and as II Is
the headquarters Of every large cor
poration engaged in its various bran
ches, 1t is but reasonable, indeed, to
predict that with the expansion Of
these resources, it will add materially
to its financial and business welfare.
To Remain Financial Center.
But Tulsa Is not alone dependent
upon the oil and gas industry. She
has magnificent river and the larg-
est independent trade territory Of any
city In the State. Five different rail-
road systems extend their branches
into this territory and lend their aid

Deposits Nearly $4,000. 900.

Tulsa today has a population Of at
least $4,000 persons who are served
hy eight banks, six national and two
state with combined capital and sur
plus Of Sl,l45,000.00 and deposits OF
nearly $4,000, 10000. Clearings for the
first half Of the year 1918 amounted
to $2G,lSl, ,05S.00, and showed an in
crca@e over the corresponding period
Of 1912 greater in ratio than any other
city in the United States. Tulsa Is not
a designated reserve center, so these
deposits are fairly well diversified, and
represent, in addition to purely local
capital, money sent here for invest
mant in the varied resources Of the
community This money comes from
all quarters Of this country and indeed
much Of it from abroad, for the enter
prise and spirit Of Tulsa is well known
wherever commerce aboundS Dur
ing the past three years several mill
lion dollars have been invested here
by foreign capitalists. Most OF this
money comes from Paris and Amster-
dam.
To properly develop, maintain and
care for these vast investments, it has
been necessary to erect factories,
street railways, modern office buildings
and homes, and this has been done in
such "A substantial way that it has add
ed materially to the wealth and COM
fort Of the city.
A Greater Future Seen.
The belief that Tulsa has a still
greater future seems well founded
when we consider the vast eXpanse
and richness Of trade territory and the
opportunity that lies in its develop
mcnt At present the territory Is but
sparsely populatc/and a comparative
ly small part Of ii is under cultivation,
but this condition is rapidly undergo
ing a most remarkable and salutory
change. From the most unskillful
and primitive methods of soil cultiva-
tion emerges a new system built upon
scientific research and adaptation of
season soil and product. The opera
tion Of this new system, while contri-
butlng greatly to the prosperity Of the
whole state, will in no small measure
insure for all time the commercial i'm
portance and prosperity OF our city.
Nor should the political and eco
nomic advantages be overlooked for
in them lies the hopes of prosperity,
not only in Tulsa, but In oklahoma
as well.
While we must admi. that in the
past much censure OF our laws has
been INDUCED in, and with obvious
good reason, yet a new commonwealth
requires time and experience to evolve
from the crude to the refined in leg
islatiye matters. That Oklahoma has
done her duty In this respect may be
found in the revised enactments and
new laws passed during the terms Of
the last two or three legislatures.
