Is In tho refining and producing

knowledge of tho business and can
express himself before any crowd
anywhere.
Burt II. Collins. whose father was
the big man I'm the Bradford and
Pennsylvania folds. and who, In the
early days was said 10 lac tho best
posted oil man in the United Statos,
and who educated his son along
practical lines. IL also n member Of
the committee md will demonstrate
his ability as representative OF
the producing end, If given an or
portunty.
The fifth member is Charles f.
Farrcn. who. beyond n doubt, would
make an ideal witness, as he knows
the game thoroughly ana Is exceed
inFly quick nt rcpartec, and thus
the committee is as we'll able "a
represent the oil interests as any
that could be found.
Just now oil concerns here are
receiving questionnairos, which they
might possibly answer, and then
again, they might not These quos-
tions are Of n personal nature and
the oil fraternity viii doubtless feel
that MIR. LnFOllettc is assuming u
lot to ask them to put their pri-
vatc business affairs In writing to
be paved over by II lot of In
quiSitive government clerks and
competitors I'm tho oil business.
Mr.. LnFollctte's methods are sC
well known here as TO leave hin
in the same class with all demo
gogues that have hitherto clutteret

Mr. LaFOilette's spectacular ris'
in politics In Wisconsin was at the
expense OF many a reputation %
men who had done things for th'
state of Wisconsin, as for instance
had put over n law governing freigh
shipments that is n model In every
respect. Mr.. LaFollctte did no
have anything TO do with this law
hut did get out on tho sump and be
rate the authors OF suid law Al
being railroad men" which wa
probably because they had succcedc,
in making the railroads do thing
for tho benefit OF Wisconsin, jus
az now the patriotic citizens o
Tulsa are cndenvoring 10 make thu
railroads give the state of Okla
homa a square deal I'm the matter o
long distance freight on east -boun,
stuff.
II might he interesting 10 know
moro about the Wisconsin law, an,
doubtless, II would be n mighty goo,
thing II our local people were 4
send a delegation TO that state ant
get all the information ayailahl
as to lust how much the railroad
are doing to build up the manu-
featuring Industries ana the ngri
cultural industries OF that state.
Arch u. Gridcr. who was Dor
and reared I'm Wisconsin. says
"Take, for instance. the potato In
dustry. the railroads are require
10 start car at the end of IN
potato district AZ Waupaca an
stop said car At other towns thl
side. that Il may he fully loaded
II then goes TO it's destination with
out any extra charges"
II IL n fact too. that there Is
manufacturing I'm transit rate (
effect In Wisconsin, which has re
suited I'm the building mp OF sue
manufacturing cities as Belot
GAINESVILLE, both Of which arc inlnn
towns, and are greatly handicappe
hv reason Of having no lake freigf
rates to help them. A car is load
ed In the northern woods, is M
loaded NJ either OF these cities an
the contents manufactured into pa
per, automobiles or threshing ma
chimes and then goes to it's destina
tion, taking the low rate from IN
point OF origin
In the cheese belt n small factor
can ship one hoop OF cheese TO
central point like lanoNillo an
from thence II takes q carload raj

wherever the case may he, and IN
has built nm the greatest industi

COnsin.
And 20 81 goes And incredlh
rs it may seem, the men who p'
this rate over and were entitled

and with the result that he nev,

some OF them live from that dl
