laiiiilv. Ought We to Give All Our Lands to Any ONE OIL COMPANY The Way to Get the Benefit of High Prices. The owners of larm property in the oil belt, in which the people of Southeastern Kansas are at present deeply interested, have a very im portant question to consider in the leasing of their lands to prospective development enterprises. We have Among us the representatives of the Standard Oil Company, a corporation which is, probably, the most capable of any single combination of capital to aid us in giving a grand impetus to the already growing "biom" which we are nursiug.as an oil producing territory. The Standard Oil Company's representatives are urging, and with good reasons, that they are able to keep up the price of the oil produced here, and to create a market for the individual producers who, for various reasons limy decide exploit their own resources, instead of leasing tliair finds to any company, and therefore, tho Standard Oil Company Forest Oil Company, as they are idontical, should be given the preference over any other enterprise now seeking-admission, to this portion of the stiite.

On the other hand, we have a number of prospectors, nne ol whom have demonstrated their (inau cial ability to sink wells, and who hive- in fact, "struck oil" in our immediate vicinity. It may be assumed that while the ultimate object of these different elements is the same, th.ir inteiests are entirely separate. It has been well said that compet ition is the life of trade. If the Standard Oil Company can keep up the price oi the oil produced by our fiends and neighbors, are they less liablo to do so if they do not obtain tho entire control of all of tho terri tory available? In other words, is it net well for our own people to give oilier enter prises, seeking to obtain leases on oil lauds, as much consideration, as that accorded tha Forest Oil Com-pmy? Of course it is well to satisfy our selves that the individuals or com panics seeking to obtain leases are financially responsible. gJJIn the oil fields of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana, where the Stand ard Oil Company conducts extensive operations, the production of oil, other than produced by this great corporation forms the larger proportion of the output, and it may be safely assumed tbar the fact that such is the case is an important factor in keeping up the price paid to the fanner lor his crude product.

It must always he borne in mind that the oil is here, and that while we should welcome the Forest Oil Company as an important aid to the development of this great industry, we must, in our own self defense, admit other competing enierprises, or the Forest will be in iv position to dictate the price of all the oil pro duccd. This latter corporation has id ready leased hundreds of thousands of acres from the line of the Indian Territory northward through; this portion of tho There should also be incorporated in every lease a clause compelling the lessee to develops the oil wells found, and prohibiting them from "plugging ui)" S'ni)l' wells.
