ACTION BALKED
IN WATER CASE
Commissioners Still Await
CuthbertSon'S Return.

Commissioner Howell Ellis mo-
ton for immediate investigation of
the Indianapolis Water Com
pany rate increases entered its
fourth week of inaction today due to
dilatory tactics of Chairman John
w. McCardle of the public service
commission.
For the third time Friday after
noon McCardle and Commissioner
Jere West refused to let Ellis COM
mence the probe when the motion
was brought up at the commission
conference.
Their reason is the same as ad-
vanced when the motion first was
made three weeks ago-that they
will not act until Commissioner
Harry K. Cuthbertson, who wrote
the rate increases in an order as
part Of the compromise settlement
in the water rate reduction case, re-
turns from a rest at Martinsville.
The Ellis motion was seconded by
Commissioner Frank Singleton
when first introduced. Both Ellis
and Singleton refused to approve
the water company case settlement
on the grounds that it is, illegal to
raise rates without hearing those
who must pay the increases.

This east Texas field that nearly

An oil man told me this: "If

less; if this great field should
magically vanish, oil prices would
jump from 81 to 81 barrel over

TULSA, Okla, April 23.-Out
Il of the depression and the
huge oversupply Of nearly all COM
modities that floods the market to
the detriment of business today
may come the economic theory
that unrestricted production is bad
for public welfare. q
In other words, if production is
geared too high for market needs.
then the federal government or
the states should curtail produc-
ton to a level akin to the demand,
under this new theory.
Supreme Court Justice Brandeis,
one of the foremost liberals of the
day, sought to apply this theory
in a recent dissenting opinion.
Though overruled by a major
ity, he upheld an Oklahoma law
which had the effect of preventing
an increase in the number Of ice
companies in the state,
Waving hoary constitutional
considerations, Justice Brandeis
defended the right of the people
TO meet changing economic condi-
tions of the machine age"
He expressed doubt as to wheth-
er "it is economically wise or
morally right that men should
be permitted to add to the pro-
ducing facilities of an industry
already suffering from overcapac-
ity."
Long before Justice Brandeis ex-
pressed this view, the oil industry
had taken the same position and
applied this policy.
Menaced by tremendous over
supply, it suddenly curtailed it's
surplus production, with the re-
suit that prices have risen from
10 cents to 81 a barrel and oil is
showing other industries path
out of the wilderness of depres-
sion.
Oil men did not begin it them
selves. State conservation laws,
given more teeth after the diSaS-
trous price crash of last summer,
did it for them. Now they have
seen the wisdom of balancing pro-
duction with market needs.
n
THE recent 15-cent price in
l. crease that brought oil to ST.
a-barrel, the first advance since
last November, meant an addi-
tional income of 100000 a day
for producers in the mid-continent
area.
1t did not mean the return of
prosperity, but it is possible in
most cases to break even on 81 oil
and in some cases-where produc-
ton costs are low-to make a
little money.
This comes as great relief

ness now burdened with tremen-
dous oversupplieS to the conse-
quent depression of prices.
AS a result of this change from
an era of reckless gambling to one
of hard-headed business methods,
the oil industry has lost two of its
most colorful figures-the un-
known newcomer who became an
oil king almost overnight and
made millions and the lucky
'wild-catter" who struck it rich
and SCARED to wealth as he dis
covered a vast new field.
Their day is done. With the
oil business stabilized and IS per
cent of it now in the hands of big
companies thoroughly equipped to
defend themselves against COM
petition, the chance for the new
conner has faded.
And if q "wild-catter" should
discover a vast new field today,
state proration laws would restrict
his production to save the indus
try from being drenched with q
surplus of oil far beyond the mar
ket's requirements.

The movement for restricted
production had its start in the
great debacle of last summer,
when a new field in east Texas,
described as "the worlds largest, "
came roaring in with huge surplus
production and oil broke from ST.
to 10 cents a barrel.
Governor Alfalfa Bill" Murray
of Oklahoma and Governor Ross
Sterling of Texas, seeing a great
industry being carried towards de-
struction on a flood of surplus oil,
hurriedly sent troops to shut
down the wells.
Out of this emergency move
came stricter state proration laws
limiting production. The wisdom
of this course proved, the oil men
adopted it.
1t was hard to convince land
owners, eager for royalties on
their oil leases, who wanted to
produce all the oil their land
would yield.
Eventually, however, they saw
the wisdom of getting more money
for less oil and the recent price
increase is taken as an indication
that the big purchasing companies
have become recorciled to this
changed viewpoint.
There is today, as there was
then, too much OIL" The differ
ence is that proration is holding
off the market a tremendous
known surplus of oil which, if
suddenly released, again would
sweep the industry into chaos.
THE great east Texas field
i alone contains enough oil to
supply the entire United States for
possibly two years.

BANK FAILURES FEW
Situation Greatly Improved,
Reserve Board Reports.

By United Press
ASHIN GTON, April 23.-
Marked strengthening of the bank
ing situation is reported by the
federal reserve board. In March
there were only forty-flve bank
failures, the fewest in fifteen
months. So far this month only
three national banks have sus-
pended.
These figures contrast with 122
failures in February and 342 in
January.
Furthermore, banks which re-
opened in March had nearly as
large deposits as those which
closed.
1t is estimated by the board that
250,0O0000 has been brought out
of boarding in the last two months.
