think it is high time for The
Indianapolis Times to get after the
Citizens Gas Company, now since it
had such good luck with the Indi-
annapolis Power and Light Company.
Everybody I've talked to seems to
think their gas bills nearly have
doubled since the first of the year.
One man I was talking to this
morning said that he went up and
made kick on his gas bill and
they merely told him if he were
tired of using gas they could shut
it off.
1 know my gas bill has increased
between S1.75 and 81 since the first
Of the year and 1 have bills to prove
it. We only are cooking twice a
day now, where formerly we were
cooking three times a day. 1t seems
to me the less you use the gas the
more it costs.

have your views on the gas ques-

ADVOCATES STATE
LOTTERY FOR REVENUE

BY r. J. w.
Why not use the influence of your
paper for the promotion of a lot
terry run by the state of Indiana?
I find that the majority of cur.
people gamble in one form or an
other. Fully 80 per cent of all
chance games and lotteries are con-
Quoted by churches, lodges and fra
ternities.
The state Of Maryland will have
the legislature to vote on state
lottery in November for bnemploy-
ment relief. I think this is a wise
move, because people will take a
chance on a lottery when our laws
are against it.
We all have q gambling streak
and the revenue the state loses each
year almost would pay a great deal
of state charities, and no doubt
would help lower our taxes.
I would like to hear from YOU
through your columns, and also
what readers think Of this propo-
Sition in regard to a state lottery.

I have been reading your fair
paper for several years have read
the Message Center recently and I
want to get this of my chest.
Years ago when the pioneers were
having their problems they went
after them like men and thus made
this country better place for their
children. Now we are confronted
with problems and it is our duty to
go after them ike men and have
them done away with so as to make
the future better for our children.
1t is each and every mans duty to
teach his children to attempt TO do
away with our greatest evil, which
is individual self1shness.

GOVERNORS TAX SLICE
CLAIM is DOUBTED

BY J. P. Fauvre.-
Recently, Lowell Thomas intro
duced Governor McNutt during his
radio broadcast, and we were
amazed to hear the Governor assert
that during the last two years our
state taxes have been reduced $780,
100000.
His one big problem, he said was
reducing government expenses. If
this is true, then who are the for
tunate ones to receive the benefit
Of such a rduction? Certainly we
have not received benefit in Indi-
anapolis-with an increased tax
rate. Possibly he only means to be
funny-to put us in the proper
spirit to receive Amos and Andy,
who followed him on the air?

T. j. Tilden, along with several
others in indianapolis, are much
mistaken about the broad state
ments they make about E. Howard
Cadle, the founder and builder,
originally, of Cadle tabernacle.
Mr.. Cadle, in the first place, is
not a rich man, in fact, he does
not even own the house in which
he lives. His former home was
sacrificed in the battle to redeem
the Tabernacle after other people
had tried to run the place after
getting it away from Mr.. Cadle.
If the above mentioned writer
were to take a little time off and
do some real investigating, he
would know that he was not asked
to donate to Mr.. Cadle per-
sonally, but to the cause of saving

I also would ask the writer to
investigate the books to find just
how the money is used, also to
bear in mind that Mr.. Cadle does
not take a salary out of the col
lection for himself, deriving his
living expenses from other sources.

The Nest
BY r. BOYER

The nest is moulded to the tree,
And the tree grows in Gods great
cathedral.
The hooking bird set on her nest;
Her mate was there to do his best,
To hunt for food and fight for
home,
And sing for all at break O. day.
The last leaf dropped upon the
ground.
It fell so light there was no sound.
And the hooking bird sang all day
long
For spring was close at hand.
His mate sat close upon her nest,
He laughed and Knocked them all.
His days were fun and spring was
here.
For after days he had no fear,
And, like the leaves, he met the
fall
Full mockingly free.
For any bird may mould a nest.
But only God a tree.

VOTING is BLANK
FOR REAL THINKERS

By H. L.
I see there are several candidates
for different offices in both parties
who extol the secret organizations
to which they belong. But I have
wondered if the voters know what
they are up against, when candi-
dates make this assertion. I have
had some experience trying to get
justice from fellow members in
these organizations. You always
come out at the little end of the
horn.
I am taxpayer, but voting will
mean nothing to the people who
can and do think for themselves.

Why COUNTRY
IS SLOW ABOUT
new ACTIVITY

The government Is now taking
between 25 and 80 percent of the
earnings of every worker in taxes,
with the result that buying power
is reduced, living standards are
lowered and prospective market OF
every business is curtailed.
This is the statement OF Baird
n Markham. director OF American
Petroleum Industries committee.
New York, who adds that oil and
gasoline taxes now amount to one
billion dollars annually-s per cent
of the capital invested in petroleum
beraeions-and collected. Mark
ham says, regardless OF whether
the industry earns even the interest
on its twelve billion dollar invest
ment. On the average, government
collections In taxes are two and one
half times as much as the industry
earns.

ITS AN ILL NIIlND@-Etc.

So far as royalty investors are con-
cerned, we are not interested as much
in production during the next six months
as we are interested In the PRICE OF
royalties.
The best thing that can happen. from
the viewpoint Of a royalty investor, Is
to have an occasional dry hole COM
pleted. 1t serves TO head OF the sky
rocket prices on royalties which always
follow continued successes. Likewise
this drilling curtailment "a requested
cooperative move-has its effects in
putting a damper on increasing roy
atty prices. From our viewpoint pro-
ration would be the best thing that
could happen. II We owned all the roy
allies we want, and were able to sit
back and depend upon what we have
from here In" then We might object
seriously to any curtailment either OF
drilling or production.
But this is not the case. We want 70
BUY royalties ahead OF development,
as cheaply as possible.
We want to see the use Of acid cur
tailed in KeVin-Sunburst for q while. We
have been buying royalties in Cut Bank
field on the basis OF wildcat royalties.
We will make lot of money from
these purchases, based on the old order
of development We know that acid
treatment will revolutionize the hand
ling of these properties. Accordingly, we
do not worry about curtanment Of acid
treatment It extends the time in which
we can buy up royalty properties ON
THE BASIS OF NON-ACIDIZED PRO
DUCTTON.
We know that the average increase on
wells treated this year has been four
hundred per cent
VIII wells treated next spring or the
spring after that not respond, as did
those treated last July?
Now that acidizing is established, we
would have no objection IL acidizing
were prohibited for ONE YEAR. It
would give as an opportunity to take
advantage OF a tremendous opportunity
which We can not otherwise enjoy-for
royalty prices in Kevin-Sunburst have
already doubled over the prices we
were paying one year ago.
Likewise in Cut Bank field, we would
not object to q definite ban on new
drilling. We know the sand conditions
which determine the area OF production.
We know the present limits of produc-
ton and the probable trend OF ex-
tensions. Given year with development
at a standstill, we could make FOR
TUNES In buying idle royalties which
we know are worth many times the
price we would have to pay.
However, we do not anticipate that
we will have any such opportunity in
either field. We feel that the situation
viii adjust itself before spring, at
which time we expect to see frenzied
efforts to provide the refiners with en-
ough oil and at the same time we ex-
pect to see royalty prices 90 soaring
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1934-09-15

What does the possibility OF curtailment
Of drilling and production mean to royalty
investors?
what are the facts surrounding this
curtailment program?
These questions are asked 80 frequently
we win try to answer them for all at
one time.
There is a market for every barrel Of
oil that Cut Bank can produce. There
fore, there Is no over-producti9h In Cut
Bank proper.
The international refinery at sunburst
and the Big West refinery at Kelvin are
working AT CAPACITY. They have no
extra stocks OF gasoline. They are not
burdened with stored crude. with the
growing demand for Montana-made gaso-
line, there Is no prospect that these
plants will have any let-up in their
operations but will have to make gasoline
during the winter months to supply the
heavy demand OF the summed months
These plants are the principal users OF
Kevin-Sunburst crude.
Due to the use Of acid in old wells
and a little new drilling, Kevin-Sunburst
production jumped from 5000 to 5000
barrels per day. The result is over
production. However, the KeTin situa-
tion is peculiar.
Back in 1925 and 1927 this field was
producing $4,000 barrels Of crude per
day. II had a peak day Of $4,000 bar
rels, as we now recall.
Where did that oil go?
Yet today with production Of 5000
barrels we face curtailment!
In July Of this year all was going
merrily There was a market for all the
oil produced, and operators thought that
they would have to swell production to
at least 10000 barrels per day 70 ade-
quately care for the Canadian market.
The complaint In the past has been that
the Canadian market could not depend
,upon Montana for an adequate supply:
IL had TO maintain its crude purchasing
Connections in Wyoming and the Midcon-
tinent. But now Montana comes along
with an adequate supply, not from ONE
field but from three competent fields:
Kevin-Sunburst, Cut Bank Border and
Pondera fields.
Operators were assured that when
the time came. the export oil would be
excluded from Montana's allowable, 80
that there would be no question about
the Montana quota, so they went ahead
with enthusiasm.
During July the Imperial on COM
pany stopped buying oil in Kevin-Sun-
burst. That shut off Ohio on company,
which sells It's OH with that Of the
California company, Continental OIL and
q few others, totaling around 1,70O bar
rels. While the rumors were going a.
round that Imperial was quitting the
market, the fact was that Imperial was
cleaning up storage oil in Pondera
oil field So the Imperial actually was
supplied from Pondera during the time
1t was not buying in Kevin-Sunburst.

Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1934-09-15

After the Pondera oil had been moved,
Imperial resumed buying 500 barrels
per day from Ohio in Kevin-Sunburst,
leaving Ohio with about 500 barrels Of
oil for which It had and has no mark
et Ohia promptly moved to pro-rate
its own production to meet the mark
ct demand. While Ohio posts the price,
1t does not buy any oil except that for
which It has a market In other words,
the posted price in Kevin-Sunburst IS
the SELLING price 70 which Is added
pipeline and handling charges
At the same time, Brdtish-American
company stopped buying oil from Texas
Pacific Coal and oil company, which
has around 500 barrels OF production.
This oil was being purchased without
q contract, since the 4. p. has never con-
tracted its own oil. In previous times
Of curtailment this company has stor-
ed its oil, having Its own pipeline and
its own storage.
The T. P. oil plus the Ohio crude
gave the field nine plus five or IA humid
red barrels Of surplus oil.
These are the two major accounts in
volved in the oVer-production" SIT
uation.
With the storage tanks in Montana
less than one-third filled and with q
new 3,00O-barrel refinery ready to open
at Moose Jaw, having no storage oil as
yet, It would seem likely that there
will be a lively market for oil in the
spring and, in fact, it will be necessary
20 store some oil against the time when
summer demands for Canadian refin-
ers.
At the present time it is reported
that IS carloads OF Midcontinent oil
are moving daily into Saskatchewan
over the 500 line. That oil is costing
the Canadian buyers something like
four cents a barrel more than would
either Kevin-Sunburst or Cut Bank oil.
These are the facts as we have heard
them from various authorities There
are many other stories afloat, many of
them inspired by people who have irons
in the fire or axes to grind. That the
Canadian buyers would like to buy
ing.
It would seem logical that If Kelvin
Sunburst crude were cut is or 20 cents
barrel. Canadian buyers would an
nounce to Cut Bank producers that they
would take Kevin-Sunburst crude until
such time as the Cut Bank price were
cut. And then there is no reason why
they should not shift back to Cut Bank
crude and see-saw back and forth ad
finitum-H that is their purpose. How
ever, that does not seem probable. These
canadian buyers want q dependable
source OF crude oil. They want to keep
the price OF crude high enough so that
their market will not be cut to pieces
by shoe-string refiners who Will spring
up on every hand the minute the price
Of crude Is lowered. However, that is
merely our idea OF the situation.
