for months that he doesn't have suf-
ficient authority over this incorrig-

tic law he now seeks was inspired
by the decision OF the Federal Courts
In Texas which held that the oil codes

was unconstitutional The bill has
grown with Secretary Ickes' determine
alton to lick the oil industry into
line. He likes authority and he loves
a fight. His bill would take the oil
industry out from under the National
Recovery Administration, and put It
directly and completely under Federal
control which Is Secretary Tckes.

A careful student of royalty invest
ments pointed out to US last week
that the AVERAGE cost OF our roy
alties in Cut Bank thus far has been
HALF the average cost of our roy
alties in Keyin-Sunburst, adding
Yet you figure a per acre oil re-
covery TWICE as great from Cut
Bank sands as from the lines OF Kew
in-Sunburst.
IF one property viii produce twice
as much as the other why is the unit
cost less on the better property
We might have answered his ques-
ton with just one word
DEPRESSION -
The man who does not make q dol
lar do TWICE the work in 19S0-31-
32-33-Sl that it did in the years
1S20-21-2z-2S-s24 is not alert to what
is going on
In other words, the man with 500
to invest in Cut Bank royalties today
can do TWICE as much with his money
as he could have done in 1924. And
1t must be remembered that Kelvin
Sunburst has paid more Than FIVE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to royalty
owners-CAEH dividends.
The curse of the prairies" Is the
constant wind While one farmer COM
plains about It, his neighbour rigs up
a windmill TO pump water from the riv-
er and irrigates his land.
To one IL is q curse; to the other
it Is q blessing Hard as it has been
on everyone, the depression has af-
forded many men the greatest opopr-
tunity Of their lives-opportunity they
will never see again. II behoves us
to keep alert to the ever changing
situation in business
II ia not frnnoaafhla that fha affu-
alton in the oil industry will suddenly
reverse and we will find close gov
eminent regulation and supervision,
with fixed prices for crude and for re-
fined products. At that time, royalties
will be the most desired investment
in America, by reason of the fact that
there will be no more manipulation
OF oil prices. BY the same token, It
will minimize the bargain buys OF
the future. Like the wind, manipula-
tion is good and bad, as it is used.
The royalty investor who bought royal
ties on a basis Of 10rcent crude which
could never happen under government
regulation--made a fortunes just as
did the investors who moved into Kew
in-Sunhurst field when it was at alb
soIute standstill and picked up proven
ground royalties at prices less than
the cost Of average wildcat royalties
miles from production.
For those who have not been fol-
lowing the national situation, here Is
a concise review:
Revolutionary changes are possible
in the oil industry, the recovery OF
which has not been satisfactory to
the country as whole.
The objective of President Roosevelt
under the federal petroleum code has
been eclipsed BY fraud and c0nnlv-
ance--"Ho4 Oil''-and the pro0ue-
ern Who sought 'self regnlakion''--
'sassociation control" and the other ap-
Deliations Oh Trade Traits are due

counter the most severe Of al regu-

to end all traffic in Hot Or and the
proposed new legislation will be to

Secretary Of Commerce Ickes who.
too, is the official Oil Administrator,
has reached the end OF his patience
He will ask the Congress for entire
control Of the oil intustry. Before

Within the four months that have
elapsed since the more important men
IN the oil industry begged Secretary
lckes for q trial at seIf-government as
an alternative to government price
fixing, absolutely no progress has been
made. The oil interests have been
unable or unwilling to unite upon
any plan.
All pooling and marketing agree
ments are still up in the air. The
attempt OF the planning and co-ordin-
alton committee to control production
OF gasoline has failed utterly, while
control OF crude by Secretary Ickes
has advanced the price from 10 cents
to 81 a barrel. with the price of
gas about the same as 1t was the small

Ickes In December, 1888, had the

progress with those who refused 10

him.
II more was needed to wreck the

the notice served on Secretary Ickes
by the Department OF Justice that the

January 25 - Vic. torious in Plainhoid Tuesday night to the tune of 39 to 18, the Wind- ham High basketmcn entertain Crosby High of Waterbury at the State Armory here tomorrow night and are hopeful of annexing their ninth consecutive win of the cam paign. Crosby Is coached by "Billy" Schofield, former COnnec- ticut State star athlete, who has developed a quintet rating with the best in the state.
 Judged by the comparative rec- ords of the two schools, Windham should triumph over Crosby which lost Tuesday to Hillhouse while the Cailaghanmen were victorious over Chick Bowen and his hire- Iings by a fairly comfortable mar gin on' tho New Haven court.
 Chick Bowen, Pete Szatkowski and Joe Moss are the leaders in the individual scoring for the Wind- ham squad. Rowan has 74 points, BzatkowBki 53 and Moss 48, all q playing games. i.
 The game at Plninheld this week ended in a near riot, despite the fact that Windham clearly out chased their opponents, Just be- fore tho final whistle was sounded Referee Max Heller called tho fourth personal foul on Mcrcier plainfield right forward. who be. came enraged and swung at tht official. The punch went astraj and caught q Windham rootei flush on the chin. Then thingi began to happen with players and spectators mixing 1t Up. It re. anired several minutes before e,iiet prevailed.

By HENRY McLEMoRE

By HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Now York, Jan 25--(UP)---Two or three years ago fin q mid-western fightclub, Billy potrolle walked over to q young man who had just finished q four-round preliminary bout, dropped an arm about the youngstcr's shoulders and said: "Devclop that left of yours. kid, and you're liable to be n gract scrapper one of these days"
 Last night Billy met tho kid In q tcn-round go Ut the New York Coliseum and the kid, lightweight champion of all the world now. made story. book yarn Of the matter by all but beating Billy's nificently, in fact, that at the fln- ish Billy announced to all who cared to listen that he was finished ---and tohat there would be no farewell tours nor comebacks.
 "Therc's no use for an old man trying to fool himself" Billy said as he pulled on the long woolens hc wears summer aind winter. "fn- side those ropes Is no place for q guy who has to watch to keep from tripping over his beard. I guess eleven years in this rackctis enough. eh Jack?"
 Jack Hurley. the old fellows manager. agreed.
 "Ycah, that's your last one. knew 1t in the first round when you got boat to every punch. and whom Barney stood up and Biugged 1t out with you, and still stayed on his feet. It's Duluth and honest work for you now"
 ono can't very well work up much sympathy for Petrollc. He quits with better than $1b0.000 tucked away and q pair of money making enterprises in his cigar store and iron foundry, q clear head. and tho respect and admira- ton of every fight fan from hera to Spokane. Of course. hc never did win that championship hc al- ways cravcd. but he gave half . dozen champions lickings they'll never forget. And when he quit, he chose an alright fighter to beat tho tune for his swan song.
 This Barney Ross of the Chicago ghetto has what 1t takes. It'll be lUHB tifUc ITOH uUW UoIOTO H lightweight comes along to dust him off. Tn taking ten straight rounds from Petrolle last night he showed everything champion needs. Fast as c stroak, he can give 1t and he cnn take 1t. And how he loves to mix 1t.
 Told before the scrap that to square of and blast 1t 1t with Petr0lle would be fatal, Ross an. swered the opening bell with q leap that carried him face to face with Petr0lle. and ther0 he stayed most of the time. And ff he ever took q backward step nobody saw it. Billy nailed him with half dozon of the same sort of rights that have fiattened many of tho rings best. but Barne shook them or with toss of his head and bored in for more.
 Tn fairness to Petrolle it should DO pointed out that he was minus the services of his dynamiting left hand. Bver since the operation on hls left arm shortly before the Canzoneri fight, Biliy's offside fisl has been nothing moro than q blum. It wouldn't hurt fiywelght.
