OIL MEN SEEK
AID IN OKLAHOMA
ny international News service

ny international News Service
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept.
! 5.--Alarnned at the possibility that
the recently discovered oil fields in
this region may ultimately result
in the over-supply OF the marker
and the reducing the price OF all
petroleum products. Oklahoma oil
operators are asking their State
government to grant them per.
nit to organize against such posi-
bility of a lowered price,.
Ray NJ Collins, Seminole oil field
umpire, has filed with the State
corporation commission an appIica-
ton for an order applying the Sem.
mole curtailment program to every
oil field in the State. The petition
was set for hearing September s at
the Tulsa city hall.
Consider Restriction
The move was taken a. q result
Of the meeting of the operators OF
the Greater Seminole area, one Of
the largest producing fields in the
country, in Tulsa, August 81 to
consider q further restriction pro
gram.
Fer some time the production of
Seminole Field, has been under the
curtailnnent Of such restrictive
measure, the agreement OF the op-
orator in the field with the consent
of the State government. For some
time prior to the making OF the cur.
tailment program the heavy pro-
auctions OF the field glutted the
market and forced prices downward.
1t il said that the new order
Of restraining the production is
prompted by the discovery Of
new field bordering the Texas Pan
handle which threatens to place the
entire industry in the United States
in the predicament that it has
undergone during the discovery Of
the Seminole and the Panhandle
field proper in the past few weeks.
The petition set forth the present
daily production will exceed the
other oil wells in Oklohoma by ap-
proximately 900 Barrels. and that
with smaller consumptions in the
coming fall and winter months the
markets will diminish to a point
where the present daily production
will exceed the market demand
Limit Wildcat Wells
The petition asked that all wild
cat wells hereafter drilled in the
State be required to limit pre-
to 100 barrels a day for ~
80 days and that no other "
drilled in the vicinity without first
obtaining a permit.
The proposed order would provide
that in the event any pool in the
State in which wells now produce
an average of less than 100 barrels
n day should increase its production
10 the extent that such wells would
produce An average Of more than
100 barrels a day the field to he
considered flush" pool and pro-
rated
The petition declared the order
restricting production in the Littel
River district to $4,000 barrels for
the period extending to November
l should remain in force

Must Be Enforced
Lowman always has been an ad-
vocate of civil service for the dry

officials were lukewarm when the
drys put this plan through Con.

Officials reiterated that the dry
law is to be enforced without favor
during the campaign and will be
swayed in favor OF neither party.
Agents and officials with political

dismissal, although 80 far none has

TAXATION

From Washington these days
comes much shouting about tax
reduction. But no one should be
fooled in to thinking that the
problem CT tax reduction will
be settled, once and for all, by
what is done in Washington,
despite all the. shouting. 81
Taxes should be reduced all
down the line, fol; tax reduction
is not a problem for Washing
ton alone. 1T fs"iaproblem that
requires the best thought and
the utmost effort in every state
capital, every county court
house, every city hall, every
school district, every govern
mental unit where's; bond Tissues
are voted.
And even more than tax re-
duction is necessary. Inequities
and injustice in the present sys
tern of raising revenues should
be removed. 1t j is everybody's
consern that taxes, local and nat
-ional, should be lowered and
made more uniform.

GOVERNMENT

Feuelal, state and local-in the
United States is being given

great increase in population,
and similar changing conditions
have made this necessary. But
two many people, it. means that
the movement has already gone
too far. 4.
1t is certain, at any rate, that
whenever governmental mach

to be understood by people who
have not made it their life

the movement to place the gov

Many and widespread are the dis

able to say why some species live
many times as long as others. They
have no explanation. for instance. of
the fact that II tiger, a lion or hip

An elephant might live to he Two
hundred years old a tiger is old ut
twenty years, lion at twenty-five
years, a hippopotamus at forty years
and bear at fifty years. A swan can
survive for one hundred years and an
elder duck or a parrot for more than
two hundred years. A tortoise might

Insects usually have short lives hut
some ants have lived in captivity for
fifteen years. Queen bees live from
four to five years, but the bee work

Diseases. adverse weather. lack ot

The League of Nations has
asked the United States to help
establish an international cal
endar. A committee of the Lea
que of Nations is studying all
proposals for reform of the cal
endar. Under one system pro-
posed, the year would be divid-
ed into thirteen months of four
weeks each, with an extra day
called "year day" at the end of
the year. In leap years. "Leap
Day" would be inserted. The ex-
ira month would be called "SoP'

June and July. If the fifteenth
day of January fell on Monday
one year it would fall on Mon
day every succeeding year. The
