prosperity seen on all sides.
The marketer is the man who has sales
men covering the entire country, maintains
traffic bureau and has offices in all of
the big towns He can see but one town
where his business centers, and that is Tulsa.
1t is the nearest to the source of supply and
the center for the great refining industry.
Old-time pipe line men have taken a
back seat, so to speak, and are wondering
where their production is coming from,
should the wide range in price paid by the
independent refiner still continue. He sees
his old-time glory fading, and believes that
unless he can meet the price he is straight
on the road to oblivion.
1t is easy to understand that Cosden
& Co. are far better for the building up of
Tulsa than any pipe line could possibly be.
Its big refinery across the river employs an
army of men and at big salaries. His 15-
story building, now nearing completion, is
to be the highest in Oklahoma and will be
fine monument to the genius of j. S. Cos
den.
Harry Sinclair, while he has moved to
New York still claims Tulsa his home, and
has done more than anyone else except Mr..
Cosden for this town. and the Sinclair eight

the men have every comfort and convenience
that money can buy.
1t is a great game as played in Tulsa,
and among them all who are now in the
running are many giants of intellect whose
names will go down in history as the lead
ers Of a great army of oil men who have
made good by patience and perseverance
and by marvellous industry, and, above all,
by absolute honesty and fairness.

Tulsa Offers Congratulations
(By w. H. PECK

The people of Tulsa, in helping to make
this special edition of The ArdmOreite a
success, offer sincere congratulations on the
prosperity that Ardmore enjoys and the
good, old, reliable Ardmoreite that has been
from the beginning of the oil development
a synonym for truth and has commanded
the utmost respect for its utter lack of
camouflage.
Ardmore is great for the same reason that
Tulsa is supreme. 1t is because first, of its
geographical location, and second, because
the newspapers have never sought to hog
the news or to discredit a well that justly
belongs to some other town or neighbor-
hood.
The good people of Ardmore gave the
oil men the glad hand when first the news
of Brother Critchlow's well, that opened the
Healdton field, drew many of our people
thither. 1t has been a most excellent abd-
ing place ever since and one that afforded
the oil man real enjoyment and all the COM
forts of home.
Old-timers who have come down through
all the fields look with wonder at the sue
cess made by new beginners at Healdton.
Ardmore people had but little experience,
were not overburdened with capital, and
were obliged to content themselves with a
low price from the beginning.
Ardmore has suffered from lack of COM
petition, where Tulsa has had enough re-
fners to afford the pipe lines ample opposi-
tion for years. 1t has helped build up the
town amazingly 1t has brought with it an
other class of business men, the marketers,
who are in evidence on all occasions. They
in turn with the refners have brought buy
ers to Tulsa from all over the world and,
altogether, they form a new society, some
thing unique and altogether new in oildom.
A few years back, the big men among the
oil producers were found nightly gathered
in the lobby Of the Hotel Tulsa, and now
this space is given over to the brokers, mar
keters refiners and lease merchants. The
old-timer looks around in vain for a familiar

WHY THE BUDGET SHOULD BE
PREPARED IN ADVANCE.

To give an Illustration showing why
a budget should be prepared and sub.
mitted in advance and not subject to
alteration except in the manner herein
mentioned, attention is called to our
own state. Prior to our last regular
session Of the legislature, the COVER
nor prepared budget. which he
heralded over the state as one most
carefully prepared, and one which was
to be his unfaltering guide in passing
upon appropriation bills which might
be submitted to him by the legisla-
tive assembly Incorporated in the
governors message and submitted as
part Of his budget were reports from
the heads Of the different state in
stitutions. This bulge, so prepared,
showed the sum of only approximately
nine million dollars necessary for the
expenses Of state government and its
institutions for the succeeding bien.
nial, ending June 80. 1919.
Not having any constitutional pro.
vision on the subject, however. and
not having any safeguard, the legis.
lature, upon conyening and finding an
overflowing treasury filled by unjust
and eYorbitant taxation levied upon
the oil producers and other property
owners in the state, joined with the
governor in an orgy creating add.
tional appointive Offices and additional
departments and eStravagantly ap
propriated over fifteen million dollars
six million in excess Of what an un.
biased and careful investigation indi
Gated was necessary.
The governor pigeonholed his budget
and by political cowardice yielded tc
the mad scramble Of those seeking tC
get upon the states payroll and tc
cut in on the treasury The people
are now paying the penalty for their
negligence in having failed to provide
proper constitutional safeguards.
In order to secure a budget system
in our state a constitutional amend
ment will have to be promulgated ant
adopted. Representative Tom Neal o
Poteau introduced a bill during the
last session of the legislature, pro
viding for the submission Of a con
stitutional amendment creating Z
budget system similar to the Mary
land method, but Of course the atti
tude taken with reference to tn,
budget prepared by the governor mad,
it an unpleasant subject for considera
tion and the matter was promptly re
ferred by the speaker to the right con.
mittee for funeral obsequies.
All requirements should be met b!
