sponsor for an opinion as TO the ultl-
mate contamination OF tho combina-
tlon,
The plan was to get as many OF the
Gushing producers 10 subscribe TO the
fund for construction Of tho line TO
Coffeyyllle as possible and to absorb
two OF the larger refinerles at that
place, which would Immediately give
the Cushing producers a market for
their oil, as well as an outlet for
units Of oil Of a less quantity than
that as scheduled by the Prairie Pipe
Line pany-100, 900 barrels
Producers who entered into the
combine were TO guarantee the tender
Of so much OF their daily production
as TO Insure the success Of the line
Just how far the scheme has
progressed we were unable to learn
definitely, but that many Of tho Cush
ing producers look upon the mat
ter with favor was apparent.
Two or three meetings have been
secretly held in Tulsa during the last
week, and If enough producers will
subscribe stock and pledge delivery Of
oil, the deal will go through.
The more pipe lines the better!

NEW RULE IN APPLICATION
FOR OIL COMPANY CHARTERS
In Future Specific Provisions Must
BE Contained that Company VIII
BE Common Purchaser.

In the future, companies asking the
secretary Of state for charter, in
which oil is purchased and sold, will
have to specifically set forth in their
application for charter that the COM
puuy will be a common purchaser of
petroleum.
Heretofore, simple statement that
they, the company, would comply with
the laws of the state was sufficient, as
the Yoager- Strain law covered the
ground for all intents and purposes.
Recently, when the oil Products
company of Tulsa, Of which h. r..
Perry, r. r. Poe and NJ. Dickerman
are the incOrporators the question
arose, when the attorney general dis
covered that the application did not
contain clause specifically setting
forth such a provision. The attorneys
for the oil Products company immedi-
ately inserted the clause.
The attorney general, S, +. Freezing,
has advised the secretary Of state,
j. l.. Lyon, to require this in all
future applications

OIL MEN DISAGREE IN
GROSS PRODUCTION
TAX PAYMENTS
Lawyers Differ Materially as 20 Prop
er Procedure; Law Claimed to
BE Unconstitutional.

There seems TO be a vast differ
ence of opinion among oil men as to
the best course to pursue in regard to
State Auditor Towards threat to is
use tax warrants unless the gross
revenue tax under the law Of 1908 is
paid instanter.
That the law is unconstitutional is
the belief Of many of the attorneys Of
Tulsa-that it is not unconstitutional
is the belief of an equal number Of
attorneys.
Some lawyers are advising their
clients to pay the tax under protest
and thus avoid the issuance of tax
warrants, and litigation, as Wcll as
the IS per cent penalty, and other
lawyers are advising their clients TO
absolutely ignore the letter of Alr
Howard, and refuse to pay the tax.
As stated in these columns Wcdnes-
day morning, adjudication Of the law
viii first have to be had before the
oil men have any chance to recover
what they have already paid in, I'm
case the law is finally decided to be
unconstitutional on the other hand,
We fail to see any objection to the
payment Of the tax under protest, or
without protest, inaSmuch rs the state
legislature will no doubt two years
hence pass an act for the purpose OF
refunding the money in case the law
is found to be unconstitutional and
this will be done regardless of pay
mcnt with or without prute5t-if it is
done at all
Some oil men are renting to the
state treasurer through the offices
of the state auditor, the amount Of
the tax, with a protest attached to
the check or draft making II part
nd al N "A
Of the money The latter seems rath-
err foolish, inasmUch as the state
treasurer has no authority of law to
either return the sum paid or TO even
return the check with protest at
taChed
I'm this case the oil men are show
ing their well known policy of never
being able to get together on any one
subject

Mans Own Business.
II has been decided every time
such a case has gotten into any court
in any state In the union, that a man
can operate or develop his own prop
erty i'm legitimate occupation just Az
he plcascs, as long as he does not
maintain a nuisance or a menace to
public health or safety. and his
ndghbor Is entitled TO do the same,
and II the duly constituted legal au-
thority does not give him the neces-
sary protection, he can defend his
property by force OF arms.
II some Of the office, notoriety or
graft-soeking wise ones had been sat
on months ago, the dreaded Gushing
poor would have been drilled up and
flooded with salt water by this time,
and conditions back TO normal.
Mr.. Legislator let the oil business
alone, for the impression is getting
out over the country that robbing
banks and running bootlegging and
gambling joints are the only profitable
lines Of business now open In okla

Listen, Daughter. Your mother tells

Listen, Daughter. Your mother tells
me that you and she have been talk
ing over the matter Of getting hired
girl to do the housework. She also
says that she feels sure that you two
could get along with the work all
right, but that the young fellow who
is coming around here evenings will
think we are not swell enough if he
knows that you and mother do the
housework. Don't you worry about
that. If he thinks such stuff, he is
not good enough for you. But he
looks pretty good to me and if he is
half the fellow | take him to be he'll
think all the more of you when he
knows that you not only know how to
cock and bake and mend, but that
you are on the job. So let's put up a
little game on him. The next time he
comes, receive him in your kitchen
apron. Tell him to amuse himself in
the parlor for moment until you
finish manicuring the supper dishes.
& won't be here, you know. He picks
out my lodge nights to make his calls.
So | won't be in the parlor to
embarrass him, Then, along about
ten O'Clock, ask him If he wouldn't
like bite Of lunch. He'll insist that
| it will be too much trouble, but you
tell him he may come along and help.
Any man in the world will fall for
that. He'll trail off after you to the
kitchen. You'll have the stage all
set and the proper costumes ready.
The costumes will consist of two
aprons, one for you and one for him.
Oh, he'll put it on. If there is any
thing young fellow will fall for it's
the kitchen apron and a job doing
nothing but keeping out of the way.
Then you get the lunch ready. Tell
him to slice the bread and no matter
how he butchers it, tell him it's fine.
Ask him If he can make salad
dressing. If he says he can, let him
go to it. And you praise it to the
SKIES. Ask him for the recipe, Tell
him you'll keep it a secret. What
would you like for a wedding present?
