The Next Legislature

Since the last election, the oil
industry has extended to several
other counties. and thereby greatly
increased the number of people in
Oklahoma who are keenly con-
cerned to secure just legislation to
protect the royalty owners, farmer
and Independent producer from the
unjust practices of many of the oil
buyers which have long prevailed.
Today n vast majority OF the
farmers of this state are either i'm
mediate or expectant royalty own
ers of oil and gas. Their interests,
coupled with that of the independ-
ent producer and refiner, will af-
ford a combined political strength
that will have much to say in the
making up of the next legislature.
Any endeavor of outside influence
to dominate the state legislation
will react drastically against such
business carpetbagism. THIS state ls
too Independent and hlghminded TO
take orders from New York, Inde-
pendence, Pittsburgh or Houston.
Legislation will come to elimin-
ate the arbitrary start of per cent
deduction from tank runs. and pipe
lines will be compelled to store oil
on fair charge basis for the royalty
owner and producer as a cheek
against unwarranted price manipu-
lation.
Legislation will not be sought to
curb those who would wantonly de-
stroy all competing industry.
Oklahoma will be producing oil
In paying quantities for many gem
erstions with plenty of profit ad
ecouragemet to both foreign and
domestic capital, on conditoan that
II hereafter play the oil game on
The square without the sharp pyac-
tice Of ruinous losses utterly un-
Justifiable to the people of this
state
The next candidate for the legis-
!aturc to be elected must demon
strate that he is not of doubtful oil
parentage, or addicted to a brass
collar ornament He must be ex-
clusiyely committed to the laud-
able interests of this state, and not
truculent to the ingeniousness of
outside influences which have more
or less prevailed in the past upon
oklahoma legislatures to sidestep
their strict duty to conscientiously
serve the best interests OF Okla
homa.
The farmers and the inaerenn-
ent oil interests In this state are
already carefully planning for n
constructive political government In
oklahoma, which shall unselfishiy
endeavor TO make this common
wealth inviting for honest busir ess
ana fair commercial dealing.

Annual Report q. S.
Shipping Board

Tho New York Journal OF Com
morce carries the fifth annual re
port OF the United States shipping
board ana emergency corporation,
from which information presented
below IS gathered.
Exemptions from paying war and
excess profits taxes were gained by
20 American shipping companies
under provisions OF the merchant
marine act, 81 vessels Of which SO
were tankers. were built with these
conditions obtained. A corrollary
OF establishment OF trade routes was
the necessity for ample supplies OF
fuel oil for the vessels OF the board.
This consumption was approximately
10000, 900 barrels a year, and tho
making Of contracts for this guam
tity at q time when supplies were
small was attended with great DIFF
ficulty, the report declares.
The shortage OF oil had become
a serious factor more than 100 ves-
sells being held NJ at Atlantic coast
ports for lack of fuel The roduc-
tiun OF demand. due to business de-
preston. eventually solved this prob
lem In u large degree, although the
board had been able to make con-
tracts for large quantities, after ap-
peals to the executives Of from 30 to
so per cent under the open market
price.
Ports Of the Pacific coast were
greater sufferers. but eventually a
contract was made which assured an
adequate supply, not only to those
ports but tos foreign bunker points
In the Pacific ocean.
The ultimate aim OF the board was
to establish fuel oil bunker stations
on all established or potential trade
routes Wherever II was possible TO
do so. the board made contracts with
AmeriCan-owned or controlled oil
companies to receive. store and re-
deliver fuel oil for it's account at
their installations at foreign ports.
The board gave every encourage
ment to American oil companies to
establish such stations, failing In
which the board erected It's own
stations
An idea OF the volume OF business
done at stations annually can be OBJ
tanned from the following table:
