OLD HUMAN NATURE AT WORK.

The latest figures on petroleum production con-
clusively demonstrates that old human nature
operates az strong among the oil producers
elsewhere.
A few weeks ago, when the props were
knocked from under the oil market and the
price began to skid downward. the producers
met in n hurriedly called meeting for tho pur-
pose OF deciding what should he done about 81,
1t was unanimously agreed that drilling should
stop as far as possible and that every producer
able to do so should buy storage and prepare
to take care OF his own OIL
The gentlemen were duita earnest about the
matter. they would not drill any wells except
ing Offsets oven those under way would be
stopped on top the sand. Indeed Il appeared
as II the production would speedily decline.
But the production figures for August are
the highest in tho history OF Oklahoma oil. So
far from decreasing, production increased TO
such an eNtcnt that price cut would follow
II II had not already occurred. Another price
cut may come at that
or course each producer felt that he could
bring in a well or two and get away with It
while his brothers were shutting down. When
all Of them, or most Of Them played that game
they made certain that production would In
crease And so once again the producers Of oil
have functloned according to that trait of hu-
man nature which has always been the great
est asset any monopoly possesses.
There has never been time IN the history
Of OH IN this state when the producers actually
stood together. No matter what the price, al
ways there have been producers willing TO pro-
duca oil and sell It at that price, II the pro-
ducers OF petroleum ever rEreo 10 keep their
agreement they viii at that moment become
masters OF their fate.
