Second Open Letter to the
People Of West Virginia

When we put forth our first Open Letter we had
no idea that such great numbers would accept our
invitation to write and tell us what they thought
about the oil and gas business. The ink was scarcely
dry before hundreds of letters and postal cards
commenced pouring in and they are still coming. To
analyze and classify these letters so that this answer
could be prepared with care, was a welcome task.
Above all else these letters proved that the
people Of West Virginia have in a high degree that
American characteristic, a sturdy love of fair play,
however willing they may be to argue a question.
About fifty per cent of those who wrote wanted
the resources of the state in a fair and just manner
ton by the state.
About thirty per cent disagreed with one or
other Of the points in the Open Letter, but were fair
minded enough to acknowledge the benefits that have
accrued TO the state from the production of oil and
gas.
About fifteen per cent disagreed fatty with 1T
views or said they lacked information, or declared
they were not interested because they were outside
the gas belt.
The remaining five per cent offered oil and gas
territory, or supplies, asked for work, wanted to
know what the Open Letter meant, had a complaint
on their service, or asserted that gas rates are high
enough or too high, without other comment. A scant
half-score were abusive.
All communications were replied to except a few
which ere unsigned, or signatures blotted. or post
office a 'ress omitted, so that if you wrote and have
not Deeil answered, it must be for one of these
reasons.
Many asked questions. the principal ones being
the following, which we herewith answer.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1914-03-20
SERVING THE RESOURCES WHICH ARE NOW
BEING FAST DEPLETED WITHOUT SUBSTAN-
TIAL BENEFIT TO THE STATE?

A-As already has been shown (which the ques-
ton manifestly dsregards) the state has received
and is receiving enormously substantial benefits and
returns. possibly greater than the oil and gas people.
West Virginia not only has the unrestricted use
of this most convenient fuel a I'd light product at an
average rate considerably lower than her n~eighbors.
bet in addition the lions share of the money received
from the sale of her gas in Ohio and Pennsylvania
comes back to her through expenditure in the search
for. production and purchase of more gas.
If the state wants to commit itself to the policy
of restricting the production is il ready to pay the
land owner his lease rentals while the gas is being
held for the benefit of future generationsi
If the state is not ready To commit itself to this
policy by putting up the money for the benefit of all
its people. what just right would it have to ask the
gas company to tie up its money in the pursuit of
this policy?
In either case wouldn't it be rather hard on the
landowner, who might be up against it financially
because he couldn't lease his land or derive any
money from that source now, even though it might
benefit his posterity?
Of course, all waste should be stopped. Economy
III use is a cardinal point of conservation.

Q-DoES THE BUSINESS YIELD A
MARGIN OF PROFIT LARGER THAN oTHER
BUSINESSES HAVING H SAME INVEST
MENT N RISKS?

Alt does not. In fact it does not return as
large profits as other businesses. where there are
practically no large hazards or risks attached. No
other business has the same amount of uncertainty
as the gas business. with such comparatively small
profit.

Answers to Principal Questions
Asked in The Letters

Q-You have shown us-the people of West
Virginia-that hundreds of millions of dollars have
in the quarter century past, for labor, royalties,
rentals, timber, teaming, machinery, materials,
boarding and various other items; that taxes paid
by oil and gas interests now amount to enough to
wipe of the Virginia debt in seven years; that great
industrial development, new towns and cities and
many other advantages which we have as a state
have followed the discovery and production of oil
and gas. Now give us the figures on the other side
Of the ledger:-WHAT HAVE YOU MADE OUT
OF THE BUSINESS2
A-Since the organization of our company, our
stockholders have received a little less than Az per
cent annual dividends or interest on the money which
they have invested. This is less than the legal rate
of interest and they could earn more if the money
were invested in mortgages. They have none of their
capital paid back and have no sinking fund out of
which to pay it back. 1t is our intention. as soon as
the revenues will justify it. TO establish a sinking
fund TO reimburse our stockholders for the money
advanced, which you will admit is no more than fair
to them.

The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1914-03-20
Q-WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN DISCUSS
ING H GAS BUSINESS WITH THE PUBLIC?

A-CTaken from a letter written by Mr.. John
r.. Gill. president of the company, to a West Virginia
state Scnator.) I'VE want all the people of the
state to get interested in the gas business and learn
as much as they can about it from any source which
Is reliable. Only an informed public is capable of
taking care OF ITS own best interests in public mat
tiers. and we feel that our case is so clear and fair
that 1t can be frankly entrusted to such a public for
solution. Thus YOU see our motive is a combined
unc-tor the good of the state and for our own good
as well. because we believe that what is best for the
people is also best for us. and vice versa"

A-lhe manufacturers Light d Heat Company
has never maintained any Hobbies in Charleston for
the purpose of preventing the legislature from plac-
ing tax on production or transportation of oil and
gas or for any other purpose, and has never spent
a penny for any such purpose.
Gumshoe methods do not appeal to us. When
any public matter affecting the interests of this COM
pany Is impending we will bring it out for open
discussion with the people, as the sovereigns of the
state. through advertisements in the newspapers. like
we are doing now. We believe this to be both efficient
and honorable.
We would here point ont to those over-wise
critics who condemn us because we have gone to the
people in this open, public way. their absurd incon-
silStcncy when they say to us: why do YOU publish
these Open Letters and take your case to the peonIe ~
