revenue law contain provisions which
VIII as nearly AS possible equaliZo
the tax assessed against the oil in
dustry with that assessed against the
general industries ufathe country
This disposition up to the present
time has taken the form Of the Gore
amendments recently adopted by
the finance committee OF the senate.
1T is my belief that these amend
ments will pass the senate and hope
will be agreed to by the conference
committee, although II Is too early at
this time to make any predictions
as to the action Of the last named
committee
'These amendments introduced by
Senator core are the result Of many
weeks Of study on the part Of the
representatives NJ the oil industry
who were in Washington for that
purpose, and Of repeated conferences
with the committees Of congress and
representatives Of the treasury de-
partment. While II adopted they
may in the administration of the laws
fall somewhat short OF all that the
industry needs and should receive,
they will be. nevertheless. a great
step in the right direction.

that the treasury department Is now

the low rates Of tax. oil producers
have paid but little or no attention
to the question OF depletion, and con-
scQuently the treasury department
has not been confronted with It's
problems.
"Under existing high rates OF taxa

Importance and will become para
mount in the event that the Gore
amendment above referred to is
written into the law.
The bureau OF internal revenue
will shortly mail to oil producers Of
the United states. blanks to be filled
out, giving certain data with regard
to the wells drilled and the produc-
tion Of the various properties from
year to year.
This information Is sought Ivy tho
bureau IN sincere ana earnest el-
fort to arrive at the correct basis for
computing depletion, and II Is most
important that they be assisted in

but to insure the producers them

CONNIE COMMENTS ON ELECTION

Editor Standard: believe it is
conceded that the men who have
done most for the unfit and benefit
of humanity have been most maligned
and misrepresented and abused.
Two Of our greatest presidents had
to pass through the crucible of above.
with the rest of their predecessors.
l refer to Lincoln and Wilson. The
difference between the two was this:
The former didn't live to see the in
gratitude of the people he served,
while the latter did. I think most
people will agree with me that II
Lincoln had lived through his term
Of Office he would have carried out
the very policy that his successor,
Johnson, tried to carry out, and yet
Johnson was harassed by an opposi-
ton congress from start to finish.
President Wilson has been the great
est war president in history and
should have received the greatest
endorsement, but. instead, through
the malicious partisanship and jeal-
ousy of couple of ex-presidents, the
people were hypnotized to such an ex-
tent, by their votes, that they COM
mitted the objectionable sin of base
ingratitude. 1t is to be hoped that
after more mature consideration the
good people Of the country will re-
trieve their mistake, at the next presi-
Dental election, by electing a man
endowed with the principles enunci-
ated by President Wilson, and there
BY consign to oblivion the relic
known as the G. o. p. the father OF
trusts and other organizations detri-
mental to the interests Of the pro-
ducers of wealth and the good OF hu-
manity.
The war just closed has forever
done away with that fetch known
as the divine right of kings" and
henceforth the world will be gov
erned by the most rational system
known to reason, government OF the
people, for the people and by the
people" instead Of government OF
the trusts, for the trusts and by the
trusts, as we have had 1t up till the
present administration.
President Wilson has been instru-
mental in putting more good laws on
the statutes than any Of his prede-
cessors and the reward he received,
figuratively speaking, was slap IN
the face" Ingratitude Is SO foul a
crime that there has never been
found a man willing to acknowledge
himself guilty Of it. Jealousy and
a partisan desire for Office are great
promoters Of cussedness and the con-
