the road improved and became very

A stop was made at a creek for din

Shermans outfit passed the Wiley

went to a side channel OF the Yellow

up having roast duck for supper that
night and went on"
In passing teams on the road and
getting over to the side, Mr.. Wiley
noticed that the wheels were weak,
and when the vehicle was higher on
one side than on the other that the
lateral strain was springing the wheels
badly. Finally when opposite here
(first camp site) the wheel gave way,
breaking three-fourth Of the spokes."
A piece Of wood was brought up from
the creek bottom and placed under the
back axle tree, dashed on and the buck
board drawn to the camp. After the
horses were picketed out, preparations
were made for supper which consisted
of can of baked beans, a can of milk
and pot Of excellent tea. The stove
worked finely" After resting for a

homa, bill to plug loopholes In the
oil code.
The revised measure would give
Ickes almost complete control over
production.
The administrator would be en-
powered to set allowable production
quotas not only for States. but for
individual pools or wells within States.
He likewise would be given authority
to control imports and to keep close
check on the books and operations of
oil companies.
Ickes said he regarded the Thomas
bill "as a vitality necessary measure" I"
and added he considered its passage
at this session of Congress urgently
necessary"
During June Of next year the ma
tional industry recovery act will ex-
pire by its own terms and the code Of
fair competition for the petroleum in
dustry will no longer be operative, "
the Secretary said.
Unless Congress acts in the mean
time to adopt some permanent legisla-

ton for the regulation Of the petro-
leum industry we will again be faced
with the situation existing before the
passage of the national industry act.
There is no reason to suppose that
the individual producing States will be
any better qualified at that time to
cope with this problem than they were
during the disastrous Spring of 1888.
Indeed, it must be obvious that the
individual States are inherently In.
capable of any effective control over
a problem which is national in its
scope"
The Secretary said one especial
reason" why the bill should be enact
ed this session was that the future
effectiveness of the oil code itself was
very doubtful"
There are many loopholes in its
provisions" Ickes added. THE pen
alties for violations are woefully inad-
equate. To make bad matters worse,
the code has been declared invalid by
the Federal District Courts Of Texas.
Our hands are completely tied In that
most important jurisdiction"
