from now in the spirit Of fairness anc

The weekly letter Of Hon. C. H

county appears herewith.
Denver. April Z. 1921.
The Gunnison News Chhmpion:-
The Twenty-third General Assembly
has gone into history. What the YER
dict Of the people will be concerning
the work of the assembly is still o
matter Of doubt. Only time will tell
Ms what the people will think of the
appropriations totaling $6,800, 900, and
whether they will approve Of the
s., ,00O, 900 state army program.
The last days of the session might
well be termed feverish. Measures
were killed and passed without q
great deal of consideration. Then a
big measure came up, the debate
was heated. All party lines were for
gotten at times and one mans vote
MAS as good as another.
The primary repeal bill and the
hoard of control bill both passed by
the House, perished in tho Senate.
The bill to establish cement plant
at the penitentiary and appropriating
$550,000 out of the road fund for its
construction was killed in the House
by close vote. This was one meas
ure, which, while nppropriating much,
/ think would have aided the state.
The mere fact that the measure was
up for consideration dropped the
prices Of cement.
II was not planned to put the
cement plant into competition with
the big companies but only to make
cement for state use in road building
II was chance for the convicts to
pay their board to the state instead
of being the great expense that they
are. It was starf toward having
better surfaced highways. But in the
feyerish state of the assembly during
the last few days, good and bad bills
were passed and killed indiscriminatc-
ly.
The failure OF the Senate to aci
upon the primary repeal bill and the
stnte bsard of control bill was a yer,
wise nave in my estimation. II thu
Republican legislature had addct
these two ignoble pieces of legisia
tion to the huge expenditures the,
have passed ! fear that the Republi
chn party would lose its prestige il
the state for years to come.

II was the feeling in the House thai
the bills were passed in bad shape by
the Senate that the approval was

oil PRICES ARE DUE
|. TO TAKE new RISE.
OIL CITY FORECAST
Curtailment of Production Has
Already Caused Costs
to Soar.

OIL CITY. Pa. May 12.--Oii having
gone up a couple of notches. Is ex-
clusively forecasted by the Interna-
tional News Service correspondent Q
week before the irst boost. specula-
ton as to when the next rise will o.
cur is In full sway among oil pro-
ducers here.
That another rise will occur per-
haps before the end of next week 10
being confidently predicted. To this
IS added the further prediction that
Pennsylvania crude. before many
weeks. will reach or pass the - mark.
survey Of conditions In the produc-
ing and refining field here is good
ground for forecasting further a..
vances.
OUTPUT Is CURrAILED.
When the price paid for PAnnsyi.
yania crude oil dropped Below s. pro-
ducers at once cancelled all drilling
plans not already under way or not
contracted. By the time the price had
reached 81 a barrel producers who
could at all afford to had ceased SELL
ing to refiners, holding their pro-
duction either in the pipe lines and
paying storage charges, or running It
into their own storage tanks.
Just what this meant and why 10
has caused the price OF crude to start
upward again can best be conceived
when 1t is stated that q single pro-
Queer. said to control an output OF
clase to 10000 barrels q month, has
sold no oil for about two months. Adj
to this curtailment the output from
hundreds of smaller leases through
out the field and it is not over-esti-
mating Ii to state that saleb were
curtailed the past two months at .
rate equivalent to more than 400, 900
barrels OF Pennsylvania crude . year.
Curtailment at this rate, added to
the fact that for some years prior to
last January reserve stocks OF Penn
sylvania crude had been steadily de-
clining, in itself a sufficient explana-
ton for the advance in price. When
to this Is added the well -authentics-
ted information that the Seep Pur-
chasing Agency. which supplies the
Standard Oil Company and its subsi-
diaries with its crude, and which
quotes prices for oil generally under
stood to be first approved BY the
Standard. in boosting the price to
1928 has done little more than top the
price many independent refiners al
ready had been paying. 1t 10 not diff
cult to foresee. a third rise in the
very near future.
NEW RISE EXPECTED.
The first rise was quickly followed
by second to $3.50, in each instance
the advance being IS cents per bar
rel
Another factor that is expected to
further force prices upward Is that
the present increase in prices has
not stimulated selling Of crude ma
terially. as is only natural. 1t 30 in
variably difficult to induce people to
sell any commodity on q rising mar
ket OIL producers, justifyinG their
refusal to sell at the 50 price because
this represented a figure below actual
cost OF operations, point to the fact
that it costs more than $3.50 4 bar
rel to produce crude oil now, and
those who have been holding their oil
in storage are mostly planning on
continuing to do SO.
