MENEFEE LEADING
IN OIL PRODUCTION

Menefee county, with three large
wells, two of them making 200 bar
rels each, I'D the list of oil-pro-
ducing counties in both eastern and
western fields last Friday. The Big
Pete Oil Company operating extern
sively on the Pete Brown lease in
Menefee county, secured 2O0-bar-
rel we'll at No. 3. No. on the same
lease, made rs barrels for this COM
pany. Carson and others, operating
in the same county on the Wick
Wells property, got the other 200
barrel well. Menefee county, some
what off of the main pool of the
eastern district, promises to produce
some splendid wells. The tendency of
the acticity to move northward from
Wolfe county into Menefee and
Rowan is very evident. Much money
has been expended in Menefee pros
pecting for oil and now those who
have held on will reap rich benefits.
Some of our closest and best
friends are the fortunate ones and
we are glad. Menefee, as it now APP
pears, will be among the richest of
Kentucky oil fields in the produc-
ton of the highest grades.

Federal Ownership
of Railroads Asked
By Farmers Council
Lower Rates and Cessation
of ''Looting" Are Among
the Reasons for Stand
Given by B. G.. Marsh

Ne1c York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Govern-
ment ownership of railroads was in
dorsed to-day by Benjamin C. Marsh,
of the Farmers National Council. in a
statement filed with the House Com
mlttee on Interstate and Foreign
commerce. Mr.. Marsh said his organi-
zatlon had a membership Of 100000,
and that IAN Overwhelmingly majority
OF the farmers Of America favor the
government ownership and democratic
operation Of the railroads."
The chief reasons for government
operation of railroads outlined by Mr.
Marsh were:
Ito secure lower freight rates
and equality of service. We know that
by exercising the taxing power of the
government interest charges Of at least
$oOoOO0,O0O year can be saved. We
Know, too, that the economies which
can be effected only through govern
ment ownership and democratic opera
ton OF railroads will result in effect
ing another saving within a very short
time of several hundred million dol
lars
2-Neither the farmers not the citv
workers can trust Wall Street to stop
ltS iootlhg OF the public if the rail-
roads are returned to the resent own
ers. Congress has never stopped this
IN the past.
"3-1he farmers and organized labor
are dlsgusted with the way in which
the stockholders and management of
the railroads committed sabotage dur
ing the war to discredit government
ownership.
"4-Private ownership of railroads,
no n: matter how safeguarded, will con-
tlnue the most corruptng force in
American political life
Congress, Mr.. Marsh said, "has be-
tore it to-day a resolution to investi-
gate the charge made by Mr.. Plumb as
to the looting of the railroads and their
management Congress owes it to itself
to adopt this resolution and make the
investigation forthwith Congress is on
trial in this matter.
We respectfully ask you to devote
your time and effort to working out
the most effective plan for government
ownership and democratic operation of
the railroads in conformity with the
WISHES OF your constituents throughout
ne United States, for we are sure that
you, like we: believe in representative
government"
