ARE FARMERS DISSATISFIED
Missouri PessimIst Afraid City Man
viii Soon Refuse to Pay High
Prices for Meat and Eggs.
fsv r G. wEATHERsToNE)

By R g. WEATHERsTONE)
A Missouri man with characteristic
pess.mism opines that the e1horoitant
prices that the farmer is getting TOR
his grain and live stock will eventually
lead to his destruction.
This sign reader says the products
of the farm were selling too low for
the producer to make a living fe"
years ago. Now, the prices are at the
other extreme and he fears for the
prosperity Of the man Of the soil.
Our Missouri pessimist bases his
gloomy predictions from the inability
Of the city man to eat 40 cent eggs,
IS cent bacon, IS cent butter and ~
cant beefsteak. He declares that sal
aries have not increased as rapidly as
the price Of the things he must eat
and he must, therefore reduce his
expenses by cutting down his grocery
bills.
This means that II the price Of meat
keeps up Americans will cease to be
meat eaters, and the Missouri prog
nosticator declares that no nation nav
Ing once ceased to eat meat has ever
been known to return to the habit
With nobody to eat meat, farmers
will find it improbable to raise IT,
the packing houses will 90 out OF
business and agriculture will sink Into
q state Of decay.
It seems to US that the Missouri
man has overlooked the fact that
even II people do stop eating meat
they must eat something else and az
the farmer is the only man who grows
things to eat, he will turn his attsn
ton to growing the things the CITY
neople want and his destruction Will
therefore, be postponed.
At any rate we do not believe tha
the farmers OF this country are losing
much sleep over their present pros
porous condition but will continue te
produce whatever the people wan
whether it be aeat, fruit or vegetables
and abide by the principle OF the Law
Of supply and demand, taking thel
chances of poverty or richness alont
with other folks.

went for dry holes, representing dead loss
to the inUeStor of, sag, 10 to 100 millions Of
dollars?
In other words, that the oil and gas people
have spent in the State in the last few years
an amount equal to about one-half OF the
whole taxable value of all the property of
everybody in the whole State?
Furthermore, will you please note that the
population Of your State being, say, 100000
Q910 census, 1,221,1l9), this expenditure of
two hundred and fifty millions among you
by the oil and gas people represents just
5000 for each Of you, man, woman, or child,
and the $4,000 600 represents an expendi-
ture Of nearly $3.50 for each man, woman and
child in the State?
Are you aware that the oil and gas people
are paying into the treasury of the State Of
West Virginia taxes which would wipe out
the entire principal OF the Virginia debt in
less than seven years; in fact, that the oil,
and gas people arc today paying one-half Of

REHABILITATION
Total benefit to West Virginia 5000, ,75O. 900.

In the above figures no account is taken of the
amount paid in taxes by these industries which
aggregates many millions.
In 1919 the oil and gas properties valued at
S14I,35J 700 and the taxes paid were $0i6,OOO.
This was an increase in valuation from 1904 of 1890
per cent rs against an increase real estate of
only 3G6 per cent.
Since 1919 the above amounts have been of course
greatly increased that may fairly estimate that
each item could be increased say 900.
This would make the total benefit to West Virginia
in excess Of $3.50 100000, as above stated
Do you realize that by the oil and gas development
thousands have been added to your population,
cities and towns have been built and large increases
have been made in other towns and cities, creating
demands for your agricultural products food and
clothing; in fact for all the necessares and luxures
of life?
Do you know that by add ng these thousands to
your population and spending these millions among
YOU your State has rcaped far more benefit than the
oil and gas people by the amount they have made
out of the oil and gas they have produced?
Are we not, therefore, amply justified in state
nen just made that your share of the profits of the
oil and gas development has been greater than our
share?
Do you know that in The beginning natural gas
was considered of little value and do you realize
that today it is I'm demand all the country, at

After the Public Service Commission was
established In West Virginia by act of the
last legislature, and the members had been
appointed, the Manufacturers Light Heat
Company filed with the said Commission its
schedule of rates, as required by law. The
Public Service Commission, on its own motion,
has called upon this company to show not
only that the proposed rates. but also that
those Heretofore charged, are reasonable.
There have been n number of hearings before
the Commission, the proceedings have been
published, discussion by the public is now
going on as to what is a reasonable rate for
domestic consumption and what for indus
trial consumption.
1t is more important to the people of this
State, than to the gas companies for reasons
which will presently be apparent, that there
should be intelligent, well-informed consider
alton of this question, and it is also so impor-
tant to the gas companies, that we arc

letter, and instead of stating what ,ce think

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS

You know that the gas and oil people have
made some money in the business We
know that your share in the profits has
been greater than ours, as the best data we
can get shows. Did YOU know that since
1890 about $4,000 oil and gas wells have
been completed in West Virginia, for which
there were paid out by the investors to you
as landowners, supplymen, teamsters, work
men, and so on, the enormous sum of about

What Do You Think About the Oil and Gas Business?

the taxes paid by all of the Public Utilities
and over one-sixth of the taxes paid on all
the real and personal property of all the
corporations and of all the people III the State
of West Virginia.
To give you an idea of what the oil and gas
business means to you as tax payers, we
give here some interesting data:
During the "a years. 1880 to 1919, inclusive there
were 35.463 wells completed.
For each of these there were paid West Virginans
for labor, teaming, material drillers board. rig
timbers, etc, not less than $l,33S.
Or total of $i7,s74,l7o
Including $ll,595 767 for the 5000 dry holes.
Fer the operation of the 26,76i productive oil and
gas wells and the caring for the product there has
been paid in West Virginia for labor, material team
ing, etc, not less than $99,OO0OO0.
In oil royalties West Virginia land have
received $S70OO7O6.
In rentals on lands held for oil purposes, before
drilling the land owners have received not less than
$4,000 900.
In rentals on lands held for gas they have been
paid Ss 0IS,0ls.
And in royalties on gas from gas wells they have
received more than $6,426,4l6.
This makes grand total of s2O0, ,75o,3O9, the
amount by which West Virginia has been enriched
by these industries during 1889 to 1919.
