GIBSON, J.
(concurring specially). I concur in the majority opinion except in so far as it may affirm that part of the commission’s order which re*218quires that Superior pay its proportionate share of the cost of drilling or accept a bonus for its lease of $500 per acre.
I am of the opinion that that part of the order is invalid and is in excess of the commission’s authority and that it deprives the Superior Oil Company of its property without due process of law and denies to it the equal protection of the laws.
ARNOLD, C. J., and HALLEY, V. C. J., concur in these views.
