One Small Well Worth $4,000
to the People OF Lincoln County
Shows Unarness of the Division of Money Under Old Gross
Production Tax Law.

Cording to the provision, which dis
tributes one-half of the tax to the
common schools, this money is dis
tributed on the scholastic per capita
population irrespective of whether
the county has one oil well or 100
or whether 1t has 1000 school chill
dren or 10000. 1t may happen
therefore, that a county with one oil
we'll may have more school children
than has the county with 100 wells.
And this Is exactly the condition
that makes the one small well worth
so much to Lincoln county.
The proposition presents one of the
most interesting thus far brought to
light in the states oil field district
Creek county has in the neighborhood
Of 1000 oil wells and 1t pays into
the state by far the greatest amount
of the gross production tax, yet II has
less school children than Lincoln
county. and therefore receives a less
amount OF money for 1000 oil wells
than does Lincoln county for its one
we'll The same relation is no doubt
true also between this county Greek
and the counties of Payne, Pawnee,
Wagner, Craig. Okfuskee, Kiowa,
Marshall, Stephens, Jefferson, Co
manche and perhaps several other
counties In the state where oil is pro-
duced. 1t Is a safe prediction that
the counties named have more school
children and far less oil than Creek,
and all of them benefit, therefore, by
this countys production.
Was Six Months Period.
The gross production tax became
effective with the start Of the fiscal
year on July I, 1915, and up to Jan
nary 1 1919 fhia county (CraaLA bod
paid into the state treasury as such
tax the total sum Of 3363,000 and q

a total Of $475,000. one-twelfth of
the entire state revenue for 1916; II

One oil well which is producing
anywhere from five to seven barrels
day is worth $4,000 every six
months to the school children Of
Lincoln county, and 1t is the only oil
we'll in the entire country. Numerous
tests have been made in Lincoln, but
thus far only busters have resulted.
and at the present time there are
several wells drilling within that
county's limits and others contem-
plated. But the one small producer
alone is adding $4,000 a year to the
county's school fund.
The well in question is the now
famous gasoline well' of the Kath-
leen Oil company. 1t Is on the j. d.
Fairies farm Just across the line in
Lincoln county from Shamrock, or
about three miles west of this town
At the outset It produced about 10
barrels Of oil a day from sand
found at 1850 feet. That was two
years ago. and the production today
Is estimated at about half the initial
flow. It is the highest-grade crude
In the state. perhaps In the entire
west, as 1t runs fully so per cent gas
oine. At the present time this crude
Is said to be worth in the neighbor-
hood Of 81 a barrel The oil evapo-
rates rapidly and must be handled,
therefore. in air tight tanks always.
This small production well is worth
so much to the Lincoln county school
children because of a provision In the
old gross production tax law which
provides that one-half Of the money
derived from this tax shall be dis
tributed by the state treasurer ITO
the county treasurers Of the counties
from whence the taxes were collect
ad I'm proportion to tho school emil
meration of such counties, and the
same shall be distributed in aid Of
the common schools Of such counties

common schol funds"

Alkan i'm Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greasless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub It In. 1t makes an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather which rinses out
. easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and 1t leaves the scalp soft and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap and
a few ounces Will supply every men,

Il
"Mr. Speaker, there are approN-
mately fifty thousand oil wells in the
state of Oklahoma. The present pro-
duction of these wells is two hundred
and ninety thousand barrels Of oil
per day. This is less than six barrels
to the well. BY eliminating the
Cushing and Healdton fields the av-
erage daily production Of wells out
side of that district Is less than two
barrels per well. The cost of drill
ing an oil well runs from $1,000 in
the Nowata field to $4,000 in the
Kay county field. Millions of dollars
have been invested In undeveloped
leases on which quarterly rentals are
paid by the oil men to the Indian
landowner and farmer. But n very
small per cent of this land will pro-
duce oil or is never expected to pro-
duce oil. An oil man must have land
leased in advance and material to
work upon, the same as a merchant
would have his stock of goods. The
oil man Is hopeful of getting oil on a
certain piece of land and pays the
farmer for the privilege of his having
that hope. If there is no oil the land
owner is not hurt, for a contract OF
lease always covers damages to the
land by reason of drilling. A royalty
i
II Is frequently 16 2-3 per cent. or
3s 1-3 per cent, or in some cases so
per cent. The Usage nation has been
developed on one-sixth royalty paid
to tho tribe. The United States sem
ate has only last Friday recommend
ed that the royalty be placed at a
fifth. The state of oklahoma is the
recipient of so per cent royalty on
some of its oil leases, and In the
Cushing and Healdton fields quarter
royalties and one-third royalties are
not rare. So when a set of figures
are presented to this body showing all
ROYALTIES as one-eighth. can say
without hesitation that they are alb
solutely incorrect and prove 1t beyond
question of doubt. The operating ex-
pense and cost OF lifting the oil from
the ground. you must remember that
oil wells flow but n short time. Is
about 40 cents per barrel. exclusive of
interest on Investment. Most OF this
means labor and pay rolls. 1t has
been conservatively estimated that
the operating expenses In Oklahoma
this year will total the sum of $780,
100000.
