DR.. Conkling Hopes
Suffrage Triumphs
BY J. WADE CoNkLlNe,

Pastor Unitarian Church, Atlanta.
don't know of anything that
gives me more pleasure than that
Of expressing my sure belief in the
justice of Women's Suffrage, my
deep regret that recognition Of
its rights should have been so long
delayed and the confident hope
that the cause will gain all that
to IL by right belongs.
For this movement wish not
only to give my sympathy but my
hearty support in every other way.

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, 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, reasonable.
There have been number of hearings before
the Commission, the proceedings have been
published, discussion by the public is now
going on as to what is 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 are
addressing to the people of this State this
letter, and instead of stating what aCe think
to be the facts in the case at issue, we ask
yOu some questions, that yOU may for
yourselves ascertain what those facts are.

of which, incidentally, just about one-fourth
went for dry holes, representing a dead loss
to the ancestor Of, sag, - 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
Q9lO census, 1,221l19), this expenditure of
two hundred and fifty millions among you
by the oil and gas people represents just
$500 for each Of you, mar, woman, or child,
and the $100,O0O.00 represents an cxpcndi-
turc Of nearly $3.50 for each man, woman and
child in the State2
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 are today paying one-half Of

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, IS 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, tcamsters, work
men, and so on, the enormous sum Of about

not to mention the additional millions paid
in taxes, and for franchises and rights of vari-
Gus kinds and spent among you in thousand
ways to hotels, stores, merchants, Everymen,
boarding houses, and so on, making your
share in the business amount to at least
Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1914-02-04
Total benefit to West Virginia $aOo,75OsO9.

In the above figures 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
$l4l,3557OO and the taxes paid $94G,OOO.
This was an increase in valuation from 1904 of ,229
per cent. as against increase real estate of
only SOC per cent.
Since 1912 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 OOO, 600, 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 reaped far 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 our state
ment 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 in demand all over The country, at
increased selling prices, but is obtained only with
increased costs?
Do you know that the greatest question among
operators today is where gas be found?
and that the ceasecss work OF exploration is costing
enormous sums Of money?
You have heard, of course, that supplies and
materials higher priced; that TO organize and
manage a company a big enough scale to go into
the gas business, it IS today, bu ding COMPRISING

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 in 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:

were 80, 463 wells completed.
For each of these there paid to West Vrginans
for labor, teamng, material, drilers board, rig
timbers, ETC., not less than $l333
Or a total of $47 974,179.
Including $1l, sos, 767 for the $500 dry holes.
For the operation of the 26,764 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 800 OOO,O OO
In oil royalties West Virginia land have
received $37 ,OO0796.
In rentals on lands held for oil purposes, before
drilling the land have received not less than
$4,000 900.
In rentals on lands held for gas they have been
paid So O49,9lS
And in royalties on gas from gas wells they have
received more than $6,426,4l6
This makes a grand total of $209,750,3O9, the
amount by which West Virginia has been enriched
by these industries during 1889 to 1912.
The amounts may thus be recaptuated:
