foot gas well, have been paid On
Monday, one deal was closed for 80
acres for $1,000, located mile south
of the well, and White & Sinc'a.r
of Tulsa, are reputed to have paid
$3.50 an acre for several hundred
acres some distance from the well.
Other companies which preferred to
get the choice acreage and were not
in on the ground floor, have parted
with large sums for land in that
township. Drilling deeper of the
GYPSY well will be one of the most
interesting developments of the next
few weeks, and upon it depends what
will be done with all the acreage that
has changd hands. Besides the Gyp-
sy Oil company, j. f.. Crosbie, Frank
Gillespie, Carter Oil company, and
number of others have considerable
acreage and some new work is con-
templated at once.
Not only will the Gypsy well
start new work in its immediate VI
cinity. but it will be an incentive
for deeper drilling in the other por-
tions of the country where compara-
lively shallow sand busters have
been considered a thorough test. Sew
eral years ago, the j, NJ. Gutfey Pc
troleum company, owned by the Gulf
Refining company, drilled II duster
mast 100 feet near Fox, but there
was nothing but a small showing OF
Gas. The company still had faith in
the locality. and since the Gypsy Oil
company drilled in the gasser, the
confidence of the company seems to
be justified. The acreage is held by
a few companies, and there are in no
hurry to dispose of it, only a little
being sold. and that at big profit
Whether the large prices that have
been paid are justified, remains to be
seen; but the chances are all in favor
of pool being opened.
Looking for Better Price.
Large wells have been developed in
the Healdton pool during the past
few weeks. and. while the late com
pletions are not as large rs those OF
few weeks ago, they are money
makers. Producers are waiting to
see what the Magnolia Pipe Line com
panv will do in reference to raising
the price. some thinking that the
market should be at least 15 cents.
Nothing new has developed in refer
ence TO laying new lines by the Tex
as company. or the Prairie Pipe Line
company. The Texas company has
production of its own under the name
of the Producers Oil company; but
the Prairie is without any holdings
in the pool. and until it is shown
that il will get enough oil to Justify
It's going in, or the Prairie Oil 4
Gas company buys some production.
there is little hope of this line being
laid. The Texas company may go in,
eventually, but so far no authentic
reports have come from the head
quarters of that concern.

WAYS TO SPEND MONEY

: Few states have been as conserva-
tive as North Dakota-conservative
!; in the best sense of the word-in the
matter Of spending public funds for
! such social undertakings as widow
pensions. This nation is rapidly wild
ening the scope of such legislation.
While there is considerable merit
in pensions for dependent mothers,
millions are dispensed by the United
States yearly in the alienation of the
poor through the various county
, boards. Before any state enters up
OF an. elaborate program Of pensions,
sick benefits and legislation Of a sim.
liar nature, our laws for the aIneliora-
ton of conditions among the poor
must be thoroughly reYamped.
There is considerable duplication
now in many, states and; misguided
sentiment often is responsible for a
poor law on the statute books.
g New York recently has adopted a
mothers pension law which for the
FIRST Year will entail an expenditure
Of OFF sS SPoo, goo. This hiss situation 'atel an and 7S CON !,
,dditi9ns present in other states have
promped a timely article by Prof. A.
S. johnson in the Atlantic Monthly.
He reaches the conclusion that it
is only a question of time when such
undertakings as mothers and widows
pensions, state insurance against old
age anc unemployment will necessi
tate a great expansion of public rev
enues. Prof. johnson suggests that
certain incomes of a state be perma.
nently invested so that with the in
come of governmental functions the
rate of taxation will not become too
b%urdensome. His conclusions, how
ever, are more applicable to the old
er and larger states whose expendi.
lures have often been articifcally
boosted to keep, pace with a fast in
.creasing income. a.,
= North Dakota has not reached that
stage as yet ss .''. r..
In many states waste and extrav'
agan'c5ee are caused by incomes in ex'
cess of actual governmental. needs.
That is one reason why our theOr.
lists often lie awake nights thinking OF
new ways to spend public funds.
There are associations teaching
lessons of private thrift.
Necessity for instruction in the
thrifty use of public funds is as press
ing in our state governments.

BRIEFS
... ARE FILED
Railroads Claim to Grant the Re.
quests of Men Would Mean /.
Expenditure Of Forty-One
Million Dollars.

Chicago, March .29.:--Briefs in the
Western railroad wage case were filed
with the board of arbitration today by
James NJ. Sheean, attorney for the
railroads, and by William s. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen. Oral
argument was begun and was expect
ed to last two, and possibly three days.
Decision by the board on the demands
Of the men for higher wages and 9TH
err concessions Will be made on or be-
fore April 20, and will affect $1,000 ell
gineers, firemen and hostlers employ
ed by ninety-eight western railroads
operating 100000 miles of track.
Failed to Establish Case.
Mr.. Sheean's brief asserted that
the men failed utterly to establish
their contention that their labors and
responsibilities and their productive
efficiency have increased since their
wages were adjusted by arbitration in
1910, nor, said the brief, had they
made good their claim chat their earn
ings, despite a higher rate, had been
decreased in this period. Their con.
tentions, Mr.. Sheean said had not
been proven by their W exhibits,
and had Been disproved by actual rec
ords quptedsin the railroad exhibits.
y.amfSringent Economies.
The increased productivity of the
railroads was said in the brief to have
been due, not to any increased effort
of the men, but to stringent economies
in operation, and the expenditure OF
$500, o 900 in extensions, additions
and Improvements to property, includ'
ing heavier power and the reduction
Of curves and grades. OF this sum
1920, OOO, 900 was spent for the pur.
pose of increasing efficiency and safe
ty, and to ~expediate train movements
These improvements, MI. Sheean said,
have actually enabled the enginemen
to earn their money in fewer hours
than prior to 1910. Firemen. he said,
actually shovel five per. cent less coal
now than in the previous period. He
