1t is impossible to make an author
lied statement at this time but on the
surface of things il is apparent that
this deal means much to Ardmore and
to its refinery district. 1t is very prob
able that "a pipe line will be built from
Oil City through the Fox and Velma
districts and on to the Gant-Parsons
field near Duncan where the Coline
made its big purchase. This high grade
oil that yields from 30 TO 40 per cent
gasoline will be turned into the Ard
more refincries through line which
the Coline Oil Company will construct
This statement seems reasonable for
the reason that the Colne does not pro-
duce oil and sell 1t as the ordinary
producing company does. The Coline
being the oil producing department of
the Santa f'e Railway Company is in
terestcd in using its offices to provide
fuel oil for the Santa Fe and deals are
made with rcfinories for delivery Of
crude to them and Ia take from their
output Of fuel oil tu be used In the
operation of trains for the Santa 'c.

million dollars takes us back to the
time when the Santa Fe became u real
producing company In southern Okla
homa II did this when 1t paid to the
organizers OF the Colinc oil Company
one million dollars for tho holdings Of
this company in the llcaldton field.
That was good deal for the Santa Fe.
The properties proved To be worth sew

the Santa Fe made equally as good a
deal in the purchase of the Parsons ct

President Harding and the
Soldier Bonus

In addressing the senate upon matter Of lcgisla-
ton pending in that house, President Harding adopted
unusual method of procedure that will doubtless
ceive considerable criticism. Under ordinary conditions
would be obviously improper for the chief executive
to make what in effect argument against the
passage of the bill before the senate, and justification
for such step must be had in exceptional conditions
rather than in general principles 1t may be said
further that what the president had present to the
statement of facts, and that these facts particu
ariy within the knowledge of the executive department
of the government
There is also apparent the advantage of present
ing the matter to the senate Immediately instead of
waiting for possible veto after the passage of the
bill
As for the question whether ought to pass
a soldiers bonus law at the present time that is
matter quite distinct from the question whether the
president ought to address the senate upon matter of
pending legislation. 1t is at least certain that Pres-
dent Harding stood boldly for what he believed to be
the larger interests of the nation at time when
who guided merely by the desire for popularity
might have chosen to differently.
The president clearly what is misunderstood
by many persons that the proposed bonus will have to
be paid by the nation whole, and not by any PAR
ticular class selected the victims of additional
ton. In spite of every effort that has been made to
prevent such result the burden of taxation
upon rich and poor alike 1t affects the poor mans job
and the poor man bills less than it affects the
rich man S income and his Injuries.
The proposed bonus the soldiers would rest upon
the nation as a whole. Instead of being drawn from
the surplus of the rich alone, ii would also add the
burden borne by the and b. the people
of small means and it would add considerab, to the
load that is carried with difficulty by business
of every class and degree.
Under all the circumstances therefore the conclu-
sion must be that President Harding is right both in
his decision present the facts congress, and also
in the conclusion that he draws from those facts
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-07-13
Disarmament and Pacific Control

The question of military power in the Pacific is
and it is logical therefore, that these two matters
should be associated in President Hardings proposal
for conference between the five great naval nations
of the world. Indeed, the measure of the American
need for strong navy is to be found in the general
policy that Japan plans to pursue the Pacific and
the Asatic continent, and in the naval policy that
Japan will carry into effect in support of her general
national policy.
So far as the United States is concerned this ma
ton has aggressive plans against any foreign people
or government Whatever military preparations
made for defensive purposes only and it rests with
other nations and not with to determine the
sity for our action. Such policy cannot bring the
United States into any conflict with Japan for which
the United States is responsible. The interests of the
two nations will clash only if Japan adopts agrees
sive policy the Pacific and in China that assas the
Just rights and fair interests of the people of the
United States. The United States asks for no special
rights exclusive privileges, but only fair field and
no favor in neutral markets 1t is only demand for
such rights privileges the part of other
ton that bring a clash with the United States.
The coming conference between the United States
of the greatest opportunities for world benefit that
ever to mankind. There is power on earth
strong enough resist the united will of those five
TONS and the possibilities of good that may result from
this conference almost unlimited.
