humorous side which Is worth
mentioning, now that Davis. presl-
dent OF tho Mid-Continent oil &
Gas Assn. has made Il plain that ho
was right all the time in insisting
that no drilling be done until oil
was $3.50 per barrel. In the mean
time the oil producers have re-
ceived about "steen million" in ex-
cess OF that which they would have
received had oil been kept at 81 a
barrel. which price. according TO
the president of the Gulf COM

Standard, was altogether too low,
1t necessarily follows that II
there was an arbitrary price OF 81
