Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1943-02-20

AS evidence Of the gravity Of the
situation, the United States army is
said to be paying TEN DOLLARS A
BARREL for crude in the Fort Norman
field, in the Arctic circle.
Present production of that field is
not now known but at one time it was
about 400 barrels per day. There has
been subsequent drilling and it is
estimated that there is perhaps 1000
barrels Of daily production at Fort
Norman.
SO desperate is the need Of oil for
the military in Alaska that the con
struction Of a 40O-mile pipeline through
the wilds of northern Canada has been
undertaken, at an expense of $4,000,000;
a tremendous Investment to get 1000
Dbl of daily production.
So great are the estimated future
requirements that United States funds
are to be used to drill number Of
wildcat wells in northern Alberta, where
validating is most hazardous because
of the uncertainties Of the geology and
the difficulty of access.
It can only be concluded that the
need is such as to stir every drop of
patriotic blood in each American OPP
orator in northern Montana These OPP
orators as well as the government,
know that there are millions of barrels
Of oil to be had in Cut Bank, Pondera
and Kelvin fields where shallow drilling
makes swift and economical develop
ment possible. These fields have pipe
lines, refineries and railroad facilities
to swiftly deliver either high gravity
crude or refined products to the rail
head on the Alaska highway at Dawson
Creek.

CAN'T AVERT SHORTAGE

Communication Of the Journals ex-
pressed confidence in Secretary
Ickes In final decision on the price
Of crude oil came from many Mon
tana oil men this week. One Of the
largest producer-refiners made this
comment: "Ickes Is not inactive
on the price situation. When he does
move, an increase in the price Of
crude win follow, and that move
is coming, definitely. Please note
this prophecy: that by this time
next year, gasoline viii be ratiOned
In Montana not TO save tires but
TO save gasoline for use Of the
military"

Wyoming Oil
Moving North
Thru Montana

Wyoming crude oil is today moving
by tank ear across the width Of the
State Of Montana enroute to Canadian
refineries, passing through Kelvin Sun
burst field
This information received by the
Journal from responsible sources, re-
fleets the dire necessity Of the Canadian
market, inasmuch as the transporta.
tiOn cost win bring the cost to Canadian
refiners to a much higher figure than
the cost Of Montana crude, obtainable
within few miles Of the Canadian
border. However, Canadian buyers can
pay Montana producers no higher price
than the ceiling prices established by
OPA. Their alternative is to pay much
higher prices through an extra 500-nnile
freight haul.
Canadian buyers have offered Mon
tana producers two and three-year
contracts for their production but have
succeeded in getting little production
since Montana rcfiners are short of
oil and likewise are offering contracts

Encouragement marked a meeting Of
Cut Bank producers, held at Cut Bank
this week with directors of District 4

petitions for a new well spacing pro-

The meeting, called at the instiga

Gas Measure Is
Likely to Pass

A confiseatory tax on gas production,
once killed by committee in the Mon

week and is reported likely of passage
in the house Of representatives. Unless
gas producers can convince the state
senate, many marginal gas producers

The bill provides a tax Of g cent

Production
Gains While
Sun Is Shining

Montana oil fields responded to the
friendly warmth of a little sunshine
during the past week by upping pro-
duction 1000 Dbl over the previous
week but even so is still over 5000
Dbl. under its daily average allowable.
Many wells are still off production and
Kelvin field, which should be making
$500 Dbl. is still under 1000 bbl Cut
Bank is within 1000 bbl of its normal
of $4,000 Dbl per day.
Cut Bank had two compilations out
Of eight active wells this week, with
one new location annOunced-the first
since the big storm.

The Political Mill

and all other necessities. The fat
was In the fire. Control was
placed on some prices, 1t is true.
Rationing was undertaken.
Wages went higher and higher,
and with them the costs Of pro-
duction. Strikes and threats of
strikes forced them up and up.
The Sterilization Act finally was
passed. But even then the con-
troll Of wages by law was not
provided for. The President said
he would hold the wage line If
Congress would pass a law to
hold the line for prices Of COM
modities. Labor statistics show,
however, that there has been a
constant increase in the average
wage. Every one knows what
happened recently in the case of
the coal miners-who went on
strike and forced the hand of
the Government.
Opposition Called Plot.
Some of the advocates of the
administration subsidy program
insist that the opposition Is just
a dirty Republican plot. That
charge, however, does not carry
water. There are a great many
Democrats who are strongly op-
posed to the subsidy program as
are most of the Republicans. The
antisubsidy bill is expected to
pass the House by 2-to-l vote.
Further, 1t is expected to pass the
Senate when it reaches that body,
also by a material vote.
There are other things which
may be done to prevent disastrous
imitation. For example, the OPA
still can apply the ceiling prices
it is authorized to impose. The
agencies of the Government deal
ing with labor can show more
backbone. The farmers insist
that all proposed "rollbacks" are
directed against them, in the final
analysis-and they are not the
primary causers Of advancing
prices.
The tax problem could be met
squarely, with excess profits taxes
on every one, all down the line.
This would siphon of a great
deal of the spending power
which causes inflation-from the
great mass of people who now
have more money to spend than
they ever had before.
Less Paid Out for Food.
The people today are paying a
less percentage OF their income
for food than in the prewar pc
riod. In July. l943. the percentage
was 20, while 1t was 81 to % per
cent in the prewar years and Is
per cent during the days of the
depression. The people. there
fore, are in better position to
pay for the food they eat than
they have been before.
Statistics of the Labor Depart
ment and of the Agriculture De-
partment have been used to show
that the average worker, as a re-
suit Of increased wage rates and
of longer hours Of work, receives
Alb per cent more than he did in
January, l94l. During that same
period the average increase in
retail prices was 224 per cent.
Further, after deductions have
been made for the purchase OF
War bonds and for Social Secu-
rity payments. the take home"
wages of the worker leave him
able to purchase all the neces-
stiles at present prices and still
have more money in his pocket
than he had in January, l941.
Every dollar the Government
puts into the payment Of subsi-
dies must be paid by the tax
payer, by the American people.
