THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

| The combined industrial recovery
and public works bill, about to be
| reported by the Ways and Means COM
mittee and rushed through the House,
is very properly described by sea-
soned observers here as the most ire
mendous of the huge measures COM
posing the Presidents program. Ex-
cepting the actual declaration of war
in 1917, it is proper to classify it as
the most far-reaching bill to be pre-
scented to Congress in this century.
Drawn as temporary act to oper-
ate for a two-year emergency, it will
permit vast business mergers OF the
various trades and industrial groups
despite the provisions of the Sherman
ment, permit price-fiXing, modify laws
and court decisions relating to trusts
and combinations, definitely kill the
thirty-hour week and minimum wage
bill that had such good beginning
through Congress just little while
ago, and will in effect bring about
exactly the situation which has been
so desperately fought all these years
by representatives of the consuming
public as we'll as the small manufac-
turers and the independent units in
the various trades.
That may be painting the picture
too darkly, for it is true that the
President is clothed under the bill
with unlimited power to whip into
| line the groups which refuse to meet
the standards that are to be set up
for wages, unemployment, business
practices, hours of labor, prices of
products, and the like. But all the
datory, so no one knows what to eX-
pect. Announcement has already been
made of the selection of General
Johnson, Baruch right-hand man, for
the cars post. This gives the con-
sentative Baruch three most import
ant posts in the new administration.
The all-important one described
above, the chief assistant to the Di-
rector of the Budget. and the head of
the new agricultural price parity
set-up.
The public works part of the bill
is also permissive, and therefore
equally indefinite. All indications are
that the program is to be more mod
est than originally intended by it's
sponsors, although its advocates claim
it will result in employment of a mill
lion men. In addition to expenditures
for federal projects, states and NUM-
cipalities are to be given aid through
partial financing of their public pro-
jects such as light, power and water
works, sewers and the like.
Costs are not to be budgeted, eX-
cept that the costs of interest on the
| bond issue and provisions for amorti-
cation of the new obligations are to
be met through new taxes, at the
Presidents insistence. And right
there is where a generally minimized
part of the bill is due to have a con-
siderably bigger share of attention
in the future, when the Senate re-

The Federal Oil Code

MN EW people realize what tremen-
~ dous significance attaches the
adoption Of a national code for
the oil industry with the expected
result Of increasing the price Of oil
to a place where the vast majority
OF oil operators can at least 'sbreak
even" and possibly make some money.
Montana has been somewhat for
tunate, having the highest crude prices
in the United States for oil Of 80
gravity, throughout this period OF
chaos in the oil industry Even at
that, however, the Montana prices
have not been high enough TO mean
profitable operation.
Cut Bank crude, now braBmin@
81 per barrel SHOULD be @1 30
per barrel.
Kevin-Sunburst crude. sow
bringing 90 cents per haxrca
SHOULD De @1.25 per barra
Since the present prices result from
local economic conditions DESPITE
the pitiful East Texas situation. IL
will not take much improvement I'm
the Texas-Midcontinent field 90 boost
Montana prizes to a place where Il
will be again profitable to produces
North Montana crude.
We know OF one operator in Kevin-
Sunburst who Is getting ready to start
operations in that field. He told MS
that whenever the price or crude
reaches 31.2S per barrel he will drill
TWENTY wells on one lease. He
will drill location after location. pre-
pared to Make MONEY on 1O-barrel
wells II he gets an average OF 90
barrel wells, he will make TWICE
as much money as the investment
requires.
We do not know Of lease in Kelvin
Sunburst where more than q dozen
wells have been drilled which has not
had a flowing well, owing to the
cavernous nature OF the line Every
location in that field is a potential
gusher, for there is no connection
between pools. The oil is found
in soft spots in otherwise irnpervious

might be the largest, should it tap a
crack or fissure containing a large
body OF oil such as opened~ ND iby

dollar wells.
There are tremendous possibilities n
other areas, which possibilities will
be known only when the price Of
crude advances 20 or 3e cents

possibility of the new federal oil code.

As likely to SUCCEED.
Pondera Is another spot where nm
proved prices will bring new drilling.
Pondera is by no means drilled ont.
When the oil is valuable enough 10
justify the investment, many wells
can be drilled IN the north and west
part OF this field.
The same is true Of Cut Bank field.
While the Cut Bank operators are far
better off with 100Ibarrel wells than
East Texas operators with 10000
barrel wells today, the Cut Bank
oil is WORTH more and will certainly
bring more bhan 81 per barrel, later
on An advance of so cents per bar
rel is the difference between getting

Many operators are today holding
back, doing no more drilling than they
are compelled to do, waiting for the
higher prices
That day is coming: Is as certainly
at hand as is the arrival OF better
times in the steel industry and other
bassic industries OF the United States
Here in the West we fail to feel the
