ICkES WANTS
TO CONSERVE
RESOURCES

NEW YORK-Secretary OF the
Interior Harold L. Ickes told the
National Coal association that. I'M
less more conservative policy Is
adopted in oil production. I'VE will
prematurely be forced to turn TO
synthetic gasoline or to expensive
substitutes for our supply of IL
Quid fuel" He said:
There lie too much waste in
the coal industry and problems OF
conserving the nations vital fuels
are thrown into relief by the wars
in Europe and the orient.
Our oil and natural gas re-
sources are definitely and seriously
limited. The national resources COM
mittee states that our proven oil
reserves have been estimated at
Is billion barrels, which is only
about IL times our consumption in
the one year Of 1887.
"Our natural gas resources have
been estimated at from so to 100
trillion cubic feet. or at most,
about so times the 1887 produc-
ton. We are allowing our oil and
natural gas resources to be exploit
ed without that careful regulation
that would have regard for both
and future needs of the
nation"

pendent refiners throughout the

"Under proration," said Hager
in explaining the stand Of his
group, independent oil produc-
ers do not have sufficient oil to
furnish an Independent refiner
enough for his operations The lat
ter must then go out of business
or buy his supply from major con-
Germs. This shuts off the supply of
the Independent dealer. or forces
him to deal with a major concern.
1.-THE association" he added,
"is not opposed to oil control leg
islation. It lie, however, definitely
opposed to proration, the only pur-
pose of which is to create, inten-
tionally or Intentionally, mo-
nopoly and to favor fixing. All oil
legislation should be scrutinized
from such a viewpoint. If the states
oil production were 100000 barrels
more than it is today. it could ge
readily cold, There is a splendid
demand-there is no waste,-and
there is no emergency at present
which would require control.
Few people see this dangerous
feature of oil-control legislation.
Conservation Of resources is a
strong appeal, but in Illinois there
is little real waste of gas and none
of oil, as is we'll understood. None
of the states now under strict pro-
ration produce their oil more eff
GENTLY than oil is now being pro-
duced in Illinois,"

Don Emery. vice president Tor
Phillips Petroleum Co., pointed out
that If the Cole bill is passed the
states will pc powerless 70 regu-
late production and that the bill
Is powerless to relieve any exist
ing ills in the industry.
George Hill, president OF Houston
oil Co, said he was opposed to
any prostitution OF states rights IN
order to get a palliative. ''It's the
damndest thing / ever saw pro-
posed" he said. The applause In
dictated the opinion of the mem
bership.
State Senator Cling Small OF Am
arillo, Texas, one of the original
hackers Of the Texas conservation
law, spoke at the morning session
Oct. 20 on Equity. He outlined
the plan of a recently formed In
dependent oil Producers Equity
Association in Texas to seek an
equitable application of the prora-
ton laws so all producers will
have equal share with all others in
the state allowable.
Senator Small said the sooner
the Independent oil men rise up
in their wrath and stamp out pol
itics, fraud and graft, the better
will be the industry's welfare. He
said Texas is producing all the oil
now that it should and that it was
up to the oil men to see that II was
distributed.
The year 1899 will go down as
the year of shut downs, Senator
Small said, iShutdowns because
we are producing too much oil. Yet
there are operators breaking their
necks to drill more wells to get
more oil than we can possibly use.
A proposal by Writ Franklin,
past president, that the executive
committee be given power to act
Tor the Association in the event of
any emergency that might arise in
he course of the consideration by
Congress of federal legislation, |
vas voted down by the membership. |

o obtain from the membership its

lction and proposals as well as i
counter proposals and the member
hip voted to keep that policy in
act.

PRESIDENT FAVORS
STATE CONTROL

WASHINGTON-President Roose-
Welt Endorsed once more the prin-
ciple of controlling Americas oil
production through state control.
He asserted that several years ago
he had favored that principle and
felt 1t should be given ample OPP
portunity to see whether 1t would
work. The alternative to control
through agreement among the
states. he said, was federal regula-
ton, which he preferred to avoid.

William O. DouoIos

President Roosevelt was confront
ed with singularly difficult task in
selecting a man to fill the vacancy
created on the Supreme Court by the
retirement of Associate Justice Bran
deis. The latter, after facing unpre-
cedented opposition at the outset of
his career, won for himself reputa-
ton as one of the ablest judges ever
to serve on the high court, and it
is only natural that the people of the
country, in appraising a successor,
will measure him by the standards
associated with the name of Justice
BrandeiS.
In such circumstances, it may be
considered by some that the new
nominee, William Orville Douglas,
now chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, lacks the ju-
dicial stature of a Brandeis, but it
may we'll be asked whether the
President could have picked any one
who measures up to it.
OF Mr.. Douglas, it can be said
without reservation that he has the
qualifications to make an outstand-
ing member OF the court. Although
only forty years old, he has 4 splendid
reputation as 4 professor Of law,
having taught at Columbia and Yale
Universities. When Robert Hutchins
left Yale to become president OF the
University OF Chicago, hs described
Mr.. Douglasuas the Nations out
