RESUME HEARING IN The
OKLAHOMA OIL CASES

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Noyem-
Der i3.-The state board of equaliza-
lion today resumed the hearing in
the cases of the McMan Oil COM
pany and the White and Sinclair in
terests, which ii is proposed to tax
as public service corporations, ow-
ing 10 the fact they own and oper-
ate pipe lines. The companies prop
critics hitherto have been assessed
by the counties in which they are
situated. The board, If it decides
il has jurisdiction in the matter, is
expected TO adopt the county assess
ments.
Evidence introduced at the last
hearing, November 1. showed the

company from the Cushing field 10

sion Of the corporation commission
and exempted from the common car
rier statute. Ii was constructed
since last February and consequent
~ was not taxable this year. But
the fact developed that the company
owns small gathering lines and thus
gave rise to the question whether
this makes il a public service cor
poration and within the jurisdiction
of the board instead OF the coun-
ties.
The White and Sinclair pipe Hne
from the Cushing field to the tank
farm is owned by six companies
four OF which are owned by the
White and Sinclair interests. il was
brought out AZ the previous hearing.
The other two are owned by other
producing companies. II also deyel-
oped that the four White and Sin.
clair companies. the Kathleen. Only.

rendered for taxation along with
the pipe line as the Kathleen oil
company.
The board Is expected to assume
Jurisdiction over these concerns and
adopt the aggregate OF the values
fixei by the county authorities for
this year, IN order to obsiare any
complications.

Users OF DRUGS TO
FACE new BARRIER
Physicians Must Consult
Federal Officials Before
Prescribing Dope
REVENUE OFFICE IN
PHILADELPHIA TO ACT

Wilmington physicians are much
interested in an announcement from
Philadelphia that private physicians
there henceforth must consult Off
Gals at the Internal Revenue Office
before they may prescribe for a dope
fiend. il their prescription involves the
use of drugs No such order has
been received at the Internal Revenue
Office in this city, but it is likely that
it will be in a few days from the
main Office in Baltimore.
An official in the Philadelphia
bureau said, yesterday, that it was
expected the drug evil soon would
be ended by the enforcement of this
rule Drug users in great numbers
have been either giving themselves
up or have been arrested, since the
order went into effect.
Heretofore, any drug user could. at
ter telling a doctor just what quantity
of a drug he was using. obtain a pre-
scriptiOn for smaller amount IL
he adhered TO the doctors orders. he
would be cured by this method Of de-
creasing the amount, but il Is claimed
that no drug iiend would stick to one
physician. AS soon as a victim re-
ceived his prescription. he would 80
to other physicians and tell them
the same story, thus obtaining large
amount of his favoritc drug.
Now this practice has been stopped
! bv the order of the Internal Revenue
Department, and "iends' are distracted
at their inability,to obtain drugs. Three
/ things must be determined by a physi-
, clan before he is allowed to treat a
prospective patient.
First he must acquaint himself
with his patients record and find
exactly what amount of the drug
has been used
Second, he must Immediately dis
miss the patient If he thinks his
condition is not improving.
Third, he must tell the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue what the chances
of recovery for the patient are. and
ask as to what should be done if he
learns the patient is being treated
4 by other doctors.
\ Give Themselves Up.
/ Thirteen drug users nave gwen them-
selves mp in Philadelphia within the last
few days and all said that they were
unable to obtain drugs and that they
! wished to be cured, Within the same
time twenty dope fends have been ar
, rested and these declared that if only
the doctors were allowed TO supply
them, they would not be in that condi-
tion. A deputy collector yesterday in
Philadelphia said that he did not be-
lieve that drug user could be cured
except in a hospital. where he could be
watched. and that no drug iend would
stay with one physician any length OF
time, as the habit was too strong
