ASK LEGISLATURE TO
CONSERVE CRUDE OIL
CORPOR ALTON COMMISSION SAID
TO FAVOR SUCH \
LAW.


OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 4.-Pro-
ducers of crude oil in oklahoma will
likely concentrate upon a law to con-
serve the production Of oil and go be-
fore the legislature and ask that such
a measure be passed. This probably
is all that will be asked of the leg
islature In the way of oil legislation.
A tentative agreement to this effect
has been reached, following an infor-
mai conference between representa-
tiVes of the oil producers and George
A. HenshaW, corporation commits
sioner.
The efforts Of the corparton COM
mission TO restrict the production of
oil in the Cushing field has had a very
beneficial effect. While the order Of
the commission restricting production
was in part enforced through CO.
operation OF the oil men. it is be-
lioved that probably better results may
be obtained by legislative action along
the same lines. In the opinion of
Commissioner lIenshaw following the
various hearings as to conditions in
the oil fields, oVerproduction caused
the trouble with which oil producers
found themselves confronted. The
price reductions then followed
c. r. Richards of Tulsa, member
of the Producers association, does not
agree with the restriction plan. He
believes that the producer Of oil
should be allowed TO use his own dis
creuon, and that he should be gov
erned by the price Of oil, if 1t be low
then that is all he is entitled to.
1t Is the impression, however,
among oil men, that the legislature,
when apprised Of the conditions as
they exist in the oil fields, and what
the consequences would be with an
overproduction, that that body will act
promptly in the interests Of not only
the oil producer, but that the state
has rights that should be recognized.

Willard now rose to his feet.

Toms reply. he affirmed with much
earnestness:

carry, great wrong soon will be cor

close anything you may discover on

the bearer of Brownlow's note had eau

The contents OF the sheet, which
Tom had open in jiffy, were brief and
were taken in by him at glance. His
immediate stupefaction at their pur-

"Well--Ill--be--" he began, but
quickly checked himself and looked up
to find the piercing eyes steadily re-
