Ram pasture today-rieh oil land
tomorrow.
What makes the differeneef
DRILLING make the difference.
Ram pasture remains ram pasture
until a well is drilled through all
potential oil producing horizons.
Until few days ago, all the terri
tory south of Kelvin field was rec
ognized as ram pasture. 1t was worth
the price ordinarily paid for ram
pasture. We bought lands in this
district with all the oil rights for
the price frequently paid in other
parts of this field for Just 10
landowners royalty. That was, of
course, before The Texas company
found oil in its wildcat south of
Kelvin. This discovery takes the dis
trict out of the ram pasture CLASH
fication, just as the Rimroek-
Schmidt No. l removed the Rim
rock pool from that classification.
The Rimrock pool, one of the most
profitable in the field, was made
possible by the modern factors of
acidization and production engineer
ing. This area has the advantage
of a column of water supporting the
oil. BY use of back-pressure the oil
is held back and the oil is SKINNED
off, meaning long-life production.
Furthermore, it is 80 gravity oil,
which is greatly desired by refiners
at this time.
The rich pools Of today were the
ram pasture of yesterday. It is
difficult for many investors to
realize that fact. They see ram
pasture as always ram pasture and
don't want ram pasture. They see
oil pools as something to be de-
sired but, unfortunately, usually
beyond the reach of a buyer who
can figure royalty values. Many an
investor is willing to gamble but
is held back by rules of a timid
majority which cannot see beyond
present production.
Most of the big money that has
been made in the oil industry has
come from doing the things that
a majority say win not succeed.
Everyone knew that the area south
of Kelvin was "disprOven" by the
many wells drilled in early days,
part of which had just enough oil

PAW PROMISES
CASING STOCK
FOR WTLDCATTERS

Montana is to have an oil country
tubular goods depot by the end of the
third quarter Of 1913 to meet emergency
needs of wildcat operators, announces
PAW. Location Of the depot-one of
IA in the cOuntry-has not yet been
definitely determined but it is be-
lieved that it viii be at Cut Bank.
An aggregate of 10000 tons Of rolled
tubular goods viii be kept on hand
at steel mills for emergency use by
operators who drill less than 10000
feet annually. Larger operators who
can plan their programs will have to
apply in advance for the materials
needed for each succeeding quarter
Of the year. Each depot will have TO-
600 tons in stock for emergency use
by all wildcat operators"
Orders viii not be filled from these
emergency stoekpiles unless the OPP
orators request is approved by the
PAW district director Of production at
Denver.
All materials in these stocks must
be acquired under the terms of Pre-
ference Rating Order P-98-b.
PAW plans that should a wildcatter
complete a producing well, the neces-
sary string of pipe can be forwarded
from the nearest emergency depot
within maximum of "a hours. The
depot can operate with only a few
strings to meet such emergencies. Few
strings of pipe viii be required in stock
and the wildcatters can go ahead with
operations, knowing that pipe is avail
able at once if required for actual USE
The stock win come from PAWS al
lotment of carbon steel for the third
quarter of 1943 and viii be currently
maintained thereafter.

money in the oil industry-yet show
us the Cut Bank operator who is
willing to drill a well ON down be-
low the Cut Bank sands and 80 feet
into the Madison lime. There "is
no such animal" tt is safe to guess
that no operator who has been here
long enough to be stepped in the
"rules" and superstitions viii ever
do such a thing. But someone who
"knows no better" will some day
open up production on many of
the established local "highsD of Cut
Bank area, as has been done on the
Twin River nose.
We are pleased with the lime pro-
duetion on the Swazey farm be-
cause our members own more than
half of the landowners royalty on
this farm. We have been getting
little royalty checks over these
many years, content that further
drilling would give Us a lot more
checks in times when we may need
the money more than we do now.
We always called the Swazey and
the Holloway and other farms in
the Sunburst pool our "money in
the bank" but never did we ex-
pect such well as just completed
by Texaeo, producing from the lime.
We said last week, "This is only
the beginning" The things that are
happening in the Montana oil in
dustry every day and every week
make US realize more and more that
this gear of Our Lord, Nineteen
Forty-three, is the "next year" we
have been waiting for. We have
knowledge Of even greater things
that are about to transpire, each
event serving to increase the value
of the royalties which we have
bought for our members over the
years, just as does the Swazey well,
and coming events of which we
know insure the early transition of
much of our Tram pasture" into
rich oil lands.
Investors today enjoy the greatest
opportunities we have known in our
81 years in the business Of buying
landowners royalties. We invite any
who would share these opportunities
to join this organization, to receive
current publications and offering
sheets.

%6 Housing Projects
For War Workers
Started by FPHA

During the first eight months OF
this year the Federal Public Hous-
ing Agency began 500 publicly
financed projects for war workers,
it was announced today.
Under present construction plans
the projects are being built in Sec
tions to expedite occupancy. When
completed, the 500 projects will
provide 216,000 units for an esti-
mated 100000 tenants.
The FPHA projects represent
every type of construction under
the publicly financed phase of the
National Housing Agency's war
housing program. They include
dormitories for single war workers,
dormitory apartments for two
person families, dwelling units for
families with children and emer-
gency trailer and portable shelter
units. Most of this housing is of
temporary construction which can
be removed after the war.

size from 15-family-unit project
at Golconda, New. to a 9,942-family-
unit project at Vanport City, near
Portland, Greg, which contains ac-
commodations for approximately
10000 people.
The list also includes four prof.
ects at Willow Run with 7,460 dwell
ings to serve workers at the plant
near Detroit, Mich, and a 100-unit
project in Great Falls, Mont.-the
Bill Holt defense homes-named
for flyer who lost his life in the
battle of Midway.
Conversion projects completed in
clude a resort hotel at Thomasville,
Ga, which provided $50 dormitory
units; a 100-year-old textile mill
building at Newport, R. l., provid-
ing 208 dormitorv units, and an un-
used factory at Southbridge, Mass,
providing accommodations for 90
single workers. The use of existing
structures saves approximately so
per cent in critical materials and
such structures are used wherever
possible instead Of building new
structures.
The overall publicly financed
war housing program on August 81
had reached total of 708, 1893, four
flfths of which are under the super
vision of the FPHA. The remainder
are under the War and Navy De-
partments and the Maritime Com
mission.
All public war housing is con-
structed on standard plans and
specifications developed by the
FPHA with maximum savings in
critical materials.

Congress Held Likely
To Increase Taxes
By Only 4 Billions

By the Associated Press.
Using the current temper of Con-
gress as measure, there is little, if
any, likelihood that the new tax bill
will approach anything like Sl2,00O,-
900 900.
At this time it appears the new
revenue law might increase Federal
taxes only by approximately s4,OO0,-
600 1000. That would raise the an
nual collection rate above $4,000
900 900.
Such is the appraisal Of the reve-
nue. outlook by some leading mem
bers of Congress.
Hearings Open Monday.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee opens Monday its public
hearings on the 1914 tax law, with
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau scheduled to be the first wit
ness. Chairman Doughton an
nounced that any one desiring to
testify during the hearings must
file an application by October II.
President Roosevelt told Congress
in his budget message last winter
that s16,OoO,OO0,O00 additional was
needed in taxes and compulsory saw
ings. Later the Treasury lowered the
amount to $4,000, 100000, and now
Capitol Hill hears the figure has
been pared again, down to around
SIC 900 900, 900.
Information on the administra-
tion's tax program, reaching Capt.
tol Hill in advance of Mr.. Nor
genthaus appearance Monday. has
been received with little enthu-
slaSm.
800 Withholding Tax.
One usually competent source
said the program would entail an,
increase from 20 to 30 per cent in
the withholding levy against the
taxable portions of wages and SAL
aries, and also that the plan would
embrace proposal for postwar tax
refunds, with the taxpayer allowed
to take them in Government in
surance or annuities.
This source said the Treasury
plan would increase individual
taxes heaviest in the $1,000 to
S25 900 brackets. and contemplates
raising the corporation rate from
40 to so per cent.
The Ways and Means Committee,
in its first major move to simplify
Federal tax payments, voted yester-
day to credit back to taxpayers i'm
mediately a portion of the S per
cent Victory tax. amounting to Is
per cent for single and 40 per cent
for married persons.

Congress, the Government would as
sumo that all taxpayers are entitled

Materials Prevent Fires

The surest safeguard against fire
is to prevent it, experts in home

by using fireproof materials. Be-
sides protecting family and property
fireproof construction can cut in

D. T.. Traffic Courts
Praised by Lawyer

The District has fairly good
court system for the handling of
traffic cases, with judges who have
some understanding Of safety en-
gineering. James P. Economies, Sec
retary of the Traffic Court Commit
tee of the Junior Bar Conference of
the American Bar Association, said
yesterday
But that is not enough" Mr..
Economos added. The public must
see the necessity for voluntary OBJ
servance Of traffic laws. It takes
every agency involved in traffic
safety to obtain that respect neces-
sary for voluntary observance which
will pay of in dividends of safety"
Mr.. Economos, who is national
chairman of the Junior Bar Con-
ference, spoke at luncheon at the
Ambassador Hotel rendered him by
the Junior Bar Sections of the
District Bar Association and the
Women's Bar Association and local
members of the Junior Bar Con-
Icl cIlCc.
Aside from the part which traf-
flc courts can play in safety. Mr.
Economos said they were important
because they were the courts with
which the public was most familiar
and on which they based their opin-
ions of the dispensation of justice
Asked about the method of rotat-
ing judges in traffic courts, Mr..
ECONOMICS said that it is hard to
get one Judge to study safety en-
gineering and that too frequent
change Of judges makes it difficult
to maintain an even flow of jus
tice." The caliber of the traffic
court judge, he added. must be equal
to that Of Superior Court judge.
It's common sense to be thrifty.
