TNHERE WAS TIME when this country could
have furnished enough meat to have fed the
whole World.
That was when we had plenty of buffalo and
they were easy to find and easy to kill.
Nobody can say that we we're misers with
buffalOes SO long as we had them.
We killed them even though we could only
use the hide, and sometimes we had to ship the
hide thousand miles and sell it for dollar.
I IdOn't know how long we could have supplied
the World with buffalo meat but we could have
sibly for few years.
OUR OIL MAY GO LIKE OUR BUFFALOES
The same thing is true of oil today.
If we were to open up all of our wells, we
could displace all of the other fuel of every kind
used in the whole of the United States.
IL we could run all of our oil and get it to the
markets. we would ruin the coal business.
We would cruelty the credit of the coal carry.
ing railroads and this, in turn, would seriously
injure the credit of all the railroads.
would drill up proven oil lands as
aggressively drilled up oil lands in
previous times, could supply enough oil to
displace all of the other fuel in the entire World
I don't know how long we could supply the
whole World with oil,-pOssbly only few weeks,
or few months, few years, and then it would
be matter of past history like the buffalo.
But nobody will ever be able to say we have
been misers with our oil either.

protect oil against needless waste and reckless
exhaustion.

will again try to tell the truth about oil and
md will again take the consequences for doing SO.
Early in 1924, after more than five years of
al, hard, unsuccessful work with the men of the Oil
Industry, l laid the facts before our Federal
Government.
-, After several months of quiet effort on the
part of President Coolidge, he finally appointed
the Federal Oil Conservation Board.
'0U The Oil Industry was controlled by few
ave giant companies and could find spokesmen who
0S' could say what they wanted said from intermediate
companies.
THE SPOKESMEN FOR THE OIL INDUSTRY
HAVE SAID THERE is NO WASTE or
OVER-PRODUCTION
These men were fattered to appear to be the
leaders of the Industry and they said there
waste or overproductiOn, and that methods
the were all right and could not be improved.
They tried to prevent action on the part of
ry' the Government by saying that if our laws
sly changed that oil properties were handled
as recommended they should be, that gasoline
as could not be bought for fifty cents a gallon.
in In spite of pressure brought President
to Coolidge to prevent him from doing anything,
Id he had the courage to issue his letter and appoint
.h his Board
ks. His Board, however, found that they were
uld lined up against milliOnares, multi-miiOnaires
and billiOnaires, and they have been compelled to

the Oil Business
What is called competition in oil field is
no more competition than is a run bank.
In fact a rum ON a bank is not as much ''cut
sh. throat competition" in oil field because all
ng the depOsitOrs trying to get is their money,
on and in an oil field the operators trying get
k' not only their oil but everybody else's oil.
