MARKET Gossip AND FIELD NEWS
FEBRUARY OPERATIONS REVIEWED.

With oil operations at a low ebb in Wyoming as a result
of conservation measures now in effect in the Salt Creek
field, 1920 barrels of new production from 80 wells-two of
them dry-was added during February to the output already
developed. An increase of nine in the number of compile
tons and of 2.120 barrels in the aggregate initial flow of

Field Report for February
In the OF fields east of the Rocky
Mountains. which are covered by the
monthly detailed report OF The oil
City Derrick, there were were 1850
wells completed during the month OF
February. This is a decrease OF 24S
wells compared with the total for the
previous month. 1t is "A more than
the figures for January. 1929. The
decrease in the total OF competitions
compared with the previous month is
undoubtedly due to the fact that Feb
r1Iary is a very short month and the
cold weather which hampered field
work In many OF the oil feds.
The fields which reported increases
in the number OF competitions during
February as compared with January
together with the o of gain
were as follows: Lima, five; Indiana
one: North Texas. ~; Gulf Coast.
two; wyoming and Montana. eight.
The other fields reported decreases as
follows: Eastern, SO; Central Ohio. a.;
Kentucky-Tennessee. 40; Illinois.
four; Kansas, 3s; Oklahoma. IS: East
Central Texas. six; North Louisiana
Arkansas. 10.
The initial daily production credited
to the complet:ons in these oil fields
during February amounted to 2oS .3i5
barrels. which is a loss OF 61.e59 bar
rels compared with the previous re-
port. This decrease is largely attrib-
uted to another big decline in the pro-
duction of the North Lou.siana-Ar-
kansas division. due in the main to
the completion of much smaller pro
ulcers in the Smackover district Of
South Arkansas. The initial daily
production credited to the February
competitions was 1887 barrels
smaller than for February. 1922. in
other words Just about half. In Feb.
ruary, 1922. the Mexia field was at It's
height and was turning out some very
big producers every month.
Increases in initial production were
made by the various fields as follows.
the gains bsirg expressed in terms of
barrels; Lima. 1871; Kentucky ennes'
see. 81; Oklahoma, 22.o56: North

There is no question that the Foster Lteraey Bill before the Territorial Legislature should be passed. A law making it incumbent upon voter that he should be able to read and write the English language and know something of the Constitution of his country is the least qualification which com mon sense and decent concern for the dignity of the electorate should impose When virtually the only opposition to such law emanates from the habit of using the ignorant vote of the Indian to assure the election of certain candidates the yic- tousness and mpropriety of the proceeding is obvious Is notorious that the two contests for the election e1 the Delegate to Congress have hinged upon the legality of the ignorant Indian vote, the balance of power resting in the hands Of those able mass it fn favor of their candidate Such a condition is disgrace to the Alaska electorate and which pre- sents poor argument in favor of the selfgoyernmen for which Alaskans Aclamorng.

SENATOR'S AGAINST GENERALIZATION PATERNALISM AND BUREAUCRACY.

Senator Frank L. Greene of Vermont promote from the House of Representatives to tho selec erd of the Capitol result of the last election las joined Senator Borahs warfare against Centrali them with capital letters Both Senators have inti mated that they purpose to carry the crusad until something results
 Senator Greene describes the later day trend il the untied States as being away from the American Constitution and toward the European system O things. He recently urged the Republican party t come out fatly and to stand firmly against the nev order and fer return to the Constitution . H deelarod
 In my judgment, the Republican party can de to rehabilltate itself to say nothing of that greater duty of rehabilitat- ing the civil estate of the nation, by coming out sqnarey cn a platform that unequivo- cally harks back to the Constitution and the policy of the Fathers with regard to these later-day evils of Centrazation Bureau cracy, Paternalism
 It is true that here and there in some parts of the land there elements of such radical disposition as would fight us on that issue. But that is nothing new. That issue always did make a fight in all ages every where The point is that we have been running along for several decades making concessions to the element that demanded this Capitalization, Bureaucracy, Paternal- ian' In the hope that we would keep that element quiet. And faithful to the lessons of history that some of us have tried out all the time that element, instead of being kept qnct, has simply fattened and grown lusty on what it fed upon and now demands mere and more and will not be satisfied
 There is constantly increasing number CT people who may have been led away a little at first by the Utopian dreams of the Wsionares. but who realizing the urgent necessity for return to the consti- tutiona government and are simply waiting Tor leadership to line them up for it. There are hundreds of thousands of Democrats who deplore the tendency of the Wilson Admin lstration towards this sociastic form of government and who are anxious to bring their own party back into dine with the old policy once more. If however they are disappointed with that. they will join with any high minded element in the country in new effort perhaps make common war fare against the Radicals
 After all this gradual slipping back to the Old World idea of Generalization Bureaucracy, Paternaliam, the pendulum of public sentiment is posing for it's return swing
