PIPE line CO.
DEFIES STATE
Prairie Pipe Line Company
Contends State Cannot
Regulate It.


Austin. Texas, July .S--The Prairie
Pipe Line company has refused TO
comply with the regulations OF the
railroad commission and the latter
has applied TO the attorney general
The Prairie Pipe Line company has
a pipe line running from Ranger.
Texas, 70 Independence. Kan. and
claims that IL is an interstate COM
pany and is not compelled to comply
with the laws prepared for Texas
companies Members Of this commits
sion are OF the opinion that al pipe
lines operating in the state should be
compelled 10 comply with the state
laws and report 10 the commission
One OF the complaints filed against
this company is that IL has seen fit to
transport oil from whom it pleas5s
and refuses whom II pleases.
The attorney general IS obtaining
data from Washington and elsewhere
pertaining 10 the corporate personnel
OF this company and information
about its holding and operations.
The Sinclair Gulf company has as
sured the railroad commission that
Il is the intention 10 comply with the
state law and file reports Of pipe
line operations with the commission
Members Of the commission have
asked the attorney general whether
short pipe lines connecting oil wells
with loading racks and even refiner-
les ere common carriers and whether
they come under the supervision OF
the commission. Gilmore contends
that all pipe lines come under the d.
rection OF the commission and should
be required to observe its rules and
regulations, except those owned by a
