90 per cent OF their supply was made
by James e. O'Neill, president of the
Prairie Oil & Gas company, one of
the largest producers in the mid

the senate oil Investigation.
"It is my opinion after careful study
that the United States has seen the
peak Of production Of crude oil" Mr..
O'Neill added.
The witness was questioned at some
length by Gilbert E. Roe, attorney for
the Investigating committee, as to the
basis for prices posted by the Prairie
Oil & Gas company for crude oil. He
declared the prices were determined
by the three factors of supply. demand.

How does the Prairie Oil & Gas
company arrive at changes in prices?"
inquired Mr.. Roe.

other times when something comes TO

directors the witness replied.
TN all cases it is after careful dis

pany."
Chairman LaFollette. pursuing the
price posting question, obtained an
agreement of the witness to his state
ment that generally speaking, the

DEFICIT IN POSTAL
OPERATIONS Barred
GENERAL DAWES
Submerged Balance Sheet"
Says Department Is 16
Million Short.

Chicago, Dec. 22-General Charles
G.. Dawes, former director Of the ma
tional budget. Friday made public what
he termed the Submerged" balance
sheet of the postoffice department. 1t
showed a deficit of $16, $4,000 for the
first three months operation of the
postal service this year.
The Chicago Tribune printed what it
said was a reproduction of the balance
sheet, accompanied by a letter from J.
G. Knappe, vice president Of the Otis
Elevator company, who assisted in
making out the report.
The liabilities of the postoffice de-
partment. according to the reproduced
report, were $140,s46,590 for the first
three months Of the year and assets
were $124,64S,5 500.
Il have endeavored to produce a true
picture Of the postoffice operations by
taking the regular postoffice accounts
alone (Which does not give the true
picture, and adding to them what they
lack" Mr.. knapp's reproduced letter
read.
Il believe that each government de-
partment can be successfully placed on
this basis. When accomplished, a IN
solidation of them will produce a bal
ance sheet and operating statement of
the United States" it concluded.
Bureau department heads were
charged with attempting to throttle the
government in a statement made Thurs
day night by General Dawes regarding
the postoffice balance sheet.
Although the balance sheet had been
approved by VIII Hays, former post
master general. he said he had heard
nothing of the postoffice balance sheet,
and declared the governments account
ing Friday in his opinion to be "a dis
graceful and archaic system"
: He said the disappearance of the
balance sheet could not be dismissed
as a great fuss about nothing"
