reported 10 him that In the month of
June the production in Oklahoma and
In Kansas amounted to l.is7, 900 bar
rels but this Is a decrease of near
ly 10000 as compared with the pro-
duction In May. There was a decrease
in stock of nearly 10000 barrels. In
all OF the oil-producing districts Of
the United States. including Califor-
mia, the wells yielded In the month Of
June approximately 27,s5o.ooo barrels,
round numbers. but this was q de-
crease OF nearly 10000 barrels as COM
pared with the May production.
Figures Of this kind cannot be main
tained month after month without
giving to the government serious con-
Germ. Therefore II appears to be the
view OF Mr.. Bedford's committee that
the authorities at Washington will do
everything that Is reasonable, and
especially should give due considera-
ton TO the relation OF taxation to oil
production, in order that the increas-
ing menace OF a shortage In our oil
supply, a shortage which would be a
serious detriment to our oil prepara-
tfon, be ended.
Meeting at Tulsa.
One of the most important meet
ings in which the managers of in
dustries that are of Importance to
the government at this time par
ticipated was one recently held at
Tulsa, Okla. There were gathered
representative from all branches OF
the oil industry in the mid-con-
tinent district. Mr.. Bedford was
there as well as Mark r. Requs,
United States fuel oil administra-
tor.
With unanimity and even en-
thusiasm all OF those who were
present pledged themselves to as
sist and cooperate with the fuel
administration in its effort to keep
the oil industry at the highest point
OF efficiency. But II is interesting g
to note that the fundamental pur-
| pose OF this meeting was the secur-
| ing OF an agreement respecting
price. There was a time when q
meeting which had a purpose OF
that kind in view would be regard
| ed by the Federal authorities as
having In mind action which would
be in violation OF the Federal
statutes.
