PROBATION OF OIL
FACES LEGAL TEST
U. S. Supreme Court ConSid-

BY DEAN DINWOODEY.

The subject of oil proration has en-
gagged the attention of the Supreme
Court of the United States. That tri-
bunal Is considering arguments in
case testing the constitutionality of the
Oklahoma oil curtailment statute and
the method Of prorating potential pro-
ductlon Of oil wells adopted by the
Oklahoma Corporation Commission un-
der that statute.
Upon the decision of the Supreme
Court in this case hinges not only the
power OF Oklahoma effectively to reg
ulate the oil industry, but the attempts
of several other oil States which have
followed Oklahoma's example In ad-
ditlon, 1T will undoubtedly have a di-
rect bearing on the measures taken
within the industry itself to curtail

Of Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur and

need of cooperative action between
the States to overcome the evils of
overproduction of petroleum. State Of

pacts between the oil States for this
purpose. Many members of the IN

Stockholm has recently announced that
he has discovered that a steam engine
was built in Sweden in 1923, eight years
before the birth of James Watt. The
constructor was Maaron Triewald. a
Swedish professor of astronomy, and it
was in active service for seven years at
the Dennemora mines in that country
until the engine was completely de-
stroyed by lightning. The engine was
never rebuilt, but Triewald left some
drawings and a description of it and
with the aid of his material working

CLEVELAND. March 26.-After hav-

and varnish industry may be expected
to feel the early impetus of any gen.
eral revival because its products are
used in both production and mainte-
nance, says the Union Trust Co. in a

The industry has been sustained
through the depression years, it is
pointed out, by a domestic demand for

tendency of the individual home owner,

to put in little of his money and some

States Contention.
Counsel for the State argues that
the production Of oil from a common
source of supply is subject to regula-
ton by a State under its police power.
The statute is upheld as measure
which prevents waste of natural re-
source and conserves the limited sup
ply.
Should the Supreme Court be per-
suaded that the Oklahoma law is
price-fixing statute. or that the regu-
lations of the State commission are
directed toward price-fxing, the stat
ute or the regulations probably VIII be
held invalid. If, however, the court
is convinced that the law Is a con-
servation measure and that the regu-
lations achieve that purpose, the pro-
