FIRE PREVENTION
LAW Is URGED
State Fire Marshal Wants Legislature
to Take Some
Action.
BY GLENN CONDON.
(StaT Corrospondent.)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. Estate
Fire Marshal c. c. Hammonds urges
that the bill which was formulated
bv the oklahoma Association for the
Conservation Of Life and Property for
the consideration by the last legls-
lature, but which was not passed, be
passed by the present assembly.
Adequate fire escape laws, to cover
all buildings Of more than one story
In height, rigid control Of dealers
and handlers Of gas, gasoline, petrol
cum products and explosives. and
semi-annual inspection of buildings
hy heads OF fire departments, are
among the suggestions made to the
legislature. A bill regulating opera
houses. theatres and picture shows,
relative TO adequate aisle space and
fire protection. is also urged.
Fire prevention, more than fire pro-
lection, is the thing to be most desired
and looked forward to. according TO
the fire marshal He suggests that a
course in fire protection be placed in
the schools that the oncoming gem
Grafton of the state may be able to
show an annual decrease in fire waste
instead OF the steady increase that
has been the rule I'm Oklahoma since
creation Of the state fire marshal's
Office.
Some Of these subjects will be en-
bodied In bills TO be introduced at the
present session Of the legislature.

HOW DID YOU LIVE?

Did you scatter sunshine aIong the
way,
To souls that were careworn,
weary;
Or hide your light with a bushel, say,
Did you make the sad heart CHEEKY?
Did you lift the fellow out OF the
slough,
And help him by freely giving;
And let your light shine before men,
too.
The only right way Of living?
Did you pass by the beggar In his
dirt and rags,
with a naughty air, ignoring
His pleadings, while your purse bags,
And your head in the air a-soaring?
Did YOU succor the widow and the
orphan, too.
Were you liberal with your giving?
Did you keep your unspotted. true
The only right way OF living?
It matters but little how a man may
die,
BE ne saint or be he sinner;
For death comes TO all and we alike
pass by.
For death is surely the winner.
SO 1t matters but little whether you
die game.
For God has the power of giving
And the question comes to each the
same,
Brother, how have you been living

the sand but which will not be drilled
In TIL the companies are sure that
they can have tankage built to care
for the production.
The Samoset company is ready to
drill In its first Bartlesyille well and
Is making improvements on its river
bed lease In the way Of tankage and
power plants. They are building ev-
erything above the high water line
and have big Job before them. This
company is building three new rigs
on the east side of the river.
Three wildcat wells commenced
drilling to the north of Yale during
the past week. They are the Wichita
and Oklahoma Oil company, No. l on
the Hennigh farm in the southwest
on the Clingenpell farm in 7-20-5;
Cohen and associates No. l on the
Thomas farm in the southeast corner
of 4-20-6.
This totals seven rigs up through
this section. II is probable that two
other locations will be made in few
days
The Producers Oil company pur-
chased 100 acres for tank farm In
35-19-6 of Spencer Bros, the con-
sideratiOn being $4,000. The com
pany proposes building 25 tanks with
capacity of SIS, 900 barrels each and
have already commenced work on the
eXcavating. This Is the first large
tank farm to be built to the north
west of the field but this action of the
Producers company was neceSsitated
by the large production which it is
getting in the north end.
The work on the Sun refinery which
was building at Yale is held up by the
tank and boiler makers strike. The
company has three steel tanks nearly
completed but still had considerable
work to do on their stills and other
tankage and the delay will prevent the
company from beginning the first of
February as expected.

DULL WEEK IN THE CUSHING
FIELD; COMMON CARRIER RULE
Labor Troubles and New Order of,
Business of Prairie Pipe Line
Company Causes Shutdown

The last week has been a busy
one for Gushing in almost everything
but drilling new wells and building
new tanks.
The labor trouble has caused many
lnen to be idle. and the tank builders
are loafing in Gushing awaiting an
adjustment Of differences.
On Friday morning the Prairie
pipe line practically stopped running
purchased oil and there was consid-
cradle rush among operators to ten
der their oil to common carriers
that is those who have contracts.
There has been some talk of rout-
ing some of the contract oil toward
the gulf coast, and it is expected
that soon both the Gulf and Texas
companies will be rendered Dil as
common carriers.
The common carrier rule being in
v0ked and the building of tanks hav-
ing stopped has caused a cessation
of drilling in wells that are on top
of the sand and deferred the starting
of new wells
The production Saturday was es-
timated to be two hundred and fifty
seven thousand barrels from SIT

PLACE FOR CHILDREN
Means the Keeping Of the
School Children Out of
the Alleys.
GLENN CONDOR.
(Staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 23.-State
Superintendent of instruction II. H..
Wilson Is elated to learn that the bill
providing for free public Fairgrounds
in connection with the public schools
of the state has received a favorable
report from the house committee on
education and has been placed upon
the calendar.
The BILL according to SupeTintend-
ent Wilson ana the other men behlnd
IT, is only in step with the modern Idea
of giving each child, regardless of the
financial condition of his family, a
fair chance to develop himself
physically as wefl as mentally With
public Fairgrounds, as provided for
in the bill, the spectacle of school
children playing in alleys, around rail-
road tracks, and in streets under
horses feet and car wheels, would
soon be a thing of the past.
The bill provides that boards of
education in cities of the first class
and Independent school districts may
be authorized to establish and main
tain public recreation places and play
grounds for children and adults In
public school buildings, on the
grounds, on other public property and
such private property as may be de-
sirable and available to the boards.
Financed by schools.
Financing of the Fairgrounds would
be provided for by including in the
estimates of the sums needed to main
tain the schools, the amounts neces-
sary to make the grounds available
and to maintain them. Boards of edu-
cation who neglected to proceed as the
proposed act plans, could be forced to
do so by a petition of Is per cent Of
the voters asking that the matter be
brought up at the next school election
and subsequent carrying Of the ques-
ton.
In case the school funds are not suf-
ficient to warrant the expenditure Of
a sum sufficient to establish and main
tain the grounds, the bill authorizes an
election, after proper petition, to vote
not more than one-half mill on each
dollar of assessed personal and real
property to secure the sum needed
After the tax has been approved by
an election it shall be levied annually
until the voters shall decree otherwise
Boards of education are empowered
under the terms of the bill to receive
such gifts and donations not unconsti-
tutional as county commissioners city
governments and individuals may wish
to make to the proposed recreation
and Fairgrounds. on account OF the
pressing need in many cities for
grounds Of this kind, the act is intend
ed to be in full force and effect i'm
medlately after the passage.

A STRANGE CONDITION

There are many citizens of Okla
homa who have had great deal of
admiration for the Interior Depart
ment and the Secretary of Indian At
fairs
1t has seemed that the judicial
mind has had placed upon II a
higher premium than the average
brand Of mental makeup.
Both the Secretary of the Interior
and the Honorable Indian Commits
sioner have been blessed with what
has been offered to us as a great
temperament for sorting things out.
one was presented to us as train
ed mind i'm things commercial, while
the other a mental equipment sharp
cned by years Of conflict with con-
spicuous Republican majority before
moving TO greener fields
Both are presumed to be discrimi-
mating and finely-adjus indivldu
ais. Yet, we have witnessed that
these two men require no hearing nor
. presentation Of facts to decide mat
ters.
II one of our district judges solicit
ed opinions from persons or witnesses
and from written information knew
about what those witnesses would
say, and then would wire those per-
information received, what would the
public say?
If any federal official does this
very thing, he is certain of his share
of criticism If things are as they
are said to be, then the Department
Of the Interior should further limit
Indian leases to 2,40O acres. This Is
as much a the smaller operator can
handle and then again If the Indian
r1Q
they are, why not conserve them be-
fore the crop runs out?
Oklahoma requires more pipe lines.
The Interior Department Will not
show either the decency or the inter
est to give a hearing on the subject
where both sides can be present
Franklin X. Lane and Cato Sells
will be solely held responsible If they
cannot give other reasons and causes.
than the fact of an arbitrary no,
based upon prejudiced testimony, self
serving and solicited. They can rest
assured that none in their department
has given one aiding hand in helping
conditions in the oil industry of Okla
homa.
The people OF Tulsa have solicited
a hearing on the subject from their
federal officials. Tulsa ls small and
so is the state of Oklahoma and so
It might only be the display of pru-
dence to have the request taken up by
others where a larger audience can
be secured and a wider range of In
terest aroused. Cushing is keeping
down the price of oil all over the
United States.
We have wondered If Sells and
Lane know this?
Possibly not, but it is certainly
subject which could be very profitably
discussed in some ten states of the
union.
Why should not a hearing Of inter-
ested parties be granted?
Why this autocratic method of pro-
cedure?
No Republican incumbent of the
office ever refused. If no new pipe
lines are built, the failure can be laid
at the door of Franklin X. Lane and
Cato Sells. A hearing will do no
harm.
True democracy has never denied
any man hearing.

COTTON SALES
T0PMOST PRICE
ARE EFFECTED

The cotton market was going
good" again this morning, ana among
the sales reported were several at
S 1-2 cents for staple of good quality,
though the bulk OF the cotton sold,
owing to quality. was at lesser price.
Americas warehousemen do not anti
cipate any immediate slump in prices.
The general sentiment seems prevail
ingly "bullish," but it should be care
fully noted that bullish views are In
variably founded on belief in a much
reduced crop next season. Unexpect-
eddy large consumption has brought
the position to basis when a reason
ably small crop could be satisfactorily
handled. Claims for prosperous
season next fall can be ruined by the
suicidal policy of trying to make as
much cotton as possible
