spetking Of it in sighting terms.
There is no question but that much
money has been lost in wildcatting
ventures, and there have undoubted-
ly been crooked companies who have
taken the investors money for wild
eating just as there have been crook
ed companies In any other line of ac
tivity.
But the fact remtns that if it were
not for wildcatting we would not
have oil for our needs today. The
high price for crude oil during the
past year encouraged wildcatting In
many new localities, and as result
we have oil-producing wells today in
sections Of the country which never
dreamed Of oil year or two tgo.
An honest wildcatter is a public
benefactor, and instead of miscontru
ing the term which is applied to him,
the publ should understand that it
is these pioneers in an industry, and
particularly the oil and mining indus
tries, who are chiefly responsiblefor
the wealth tnd developement of our
the wealth tnd development of cur
western states today.
