lax on oil dismisses ihe whole i u i-Mt i m as a mailer inure lor Jesting lhaii
us u serious mallei affecting the welfare of the biggest purl of Ihe citizen-
ship of the slate lis conclusion us to Ihe woes of the oil man Is that he
has none worth mentioning tint Is "doing right well." Il Is (piife line tlr.it
the oil man Is prospering in spile of the fight waged upon him by tho ring
that presumes to run the government of the si itc but there is no reason
why his prosperity should not l.e shared with all the people of Oklahoma
which it certainly would he If tho unreasonable restrictions which (he nd-
iiiinlslrnlioii has placed on him could be lifted. The nil man Is not asking
hat legislation he passed spei ifirally In his favor. lie Is not asking for
any sympathy or condolence- be Is well able to take care of himself. If
Ihe lawmakers of Oklahoma have made up their minds to make war upon
this big industry lis opi-rators can find wealth elsewhere and suffer noth-
ing more than tcuipuinry Inconvenience by shaking the dust of Oklahoma
off of their f. et. Theirs is not the chief loss by such n course but Ihe loss
is to the people of Ihe commonwealth a mate lb U has heen made gli al
and prosperous in an Incredibly slim; lime because of their operations. If
the ad milllsl la I inn wishes to persecute Urn oil men and drive them to other
fields It is Oklahoma which is the greater loser by th" change.
From anolhrr point of view there la neither fairness nor Justice In
the endeavor to make one Industry bear 'the greatest burden of govern-
mental cost. The men In this business hive no bjiclioi. to paying their
full shate of such expense and thai loo in a stale v here the burdens of
taxation lire Immoderately heavy. What liny do object to Is having a tax
levied to discriminate against Ho in. Ite. nuse many of them gel rich al
Ihe business Is no reason why their prosperity should he pcliali.ed h laving
upon the industry nil the burdens it will stand for. li Is no crime to git
rich honcslly that laws should be made to snuei"." them for every dollar
that tax assessors can git out of them. It Is not even the amoiini of Un-
tax that is so objectionable as the spirit shown hy those who hold thnt It
is legitimate to roh lliciu In the name of the law.
Again If Ihe oil industry should receive fair treatment at the hands
of the state government those engaged ill it would naturally prefer to
make their olhcr investments and spend their monyv in Hits slate. Not
many are going to carry their wealth away if they can get a fair deal here
where their Income originates. Think of the thousands of acres now under
lease and Ihe millions of dollars paid to the farm owners of the state all
of which is because operators have faith that there Is more wealth to be
extruded from below the noil. How big u hole would It make In the pros-
perity of oklahoiiiiin.'i generally If these princely payments were withdrawn?
Why should the legislal ore seek to strangle the goose that Is laying Ridden
eggs for the people of the state? The "average citizen" of Oklahoma may
not "feel Unit he ought to extend condolences to the oil men." but lie
would feel liko condoling himself If he knew that the present policy of the
state government was one calculated to deprive him of that wealth that he
has been enjoying without even turning Ins hand to physical exertion
While (he oil man has been growing rich he has put hundreds of poor land
owners on easy street and It is a sad commentary on the Ingratitude of
republics that the band that he. has enriched should now b turned ng.iinHt
him.
It cunnot he that the people of one pnrt of the tnt r lenloii of
Ihe good fortune of another part. It is no longer a sectional matter. West
as well us east south as well as north have partaken of the boom ii oii
boom thai Ihe oil Hnisiness has made possible. Over half of Ihe acreage
of the state of oklnhomu is now under lease for oil und gas covering more
or less of the surface of f0 per cenl nf (he counties If there ever was a
time when one pan of Hie state fell Unit another pnrt should he squeezed
for Its benefit that time has passed only tin predatory politician Is left
to npologi.e for a svsiem of taxation that seeks to make an industry which
is ihe life-blood of our existence pay oneroua tribute lh.it liny may squander
tho treusurc in partisan exploitation and persona I grei d.
If we read aright the attitude of ihe iklahninan Is nn attempt to
Justify nnd condone the unjust exorbitant nnd discriminatory legislation
leveled at the oil Industry and this attitude of unfairness is most unworthy
of Hie leading newspaper of the stale that is. If it wl.'hes to maintain the
position of fairness and broad-minded responsibility to all the interests of
the state. It looks as tho the Oklnlpuuun was failing to ;'ill Ihe high possi-
bilities which its nppoi't unities present. This is to he regretted quite as
much on its own account as for the oil Indunuy the Importance of which
it seems so ready lo heliitle and abuse.

The translation of tho French text
of the entente into as cabled by Am-
i hiissador Sharp at Purls follows:
"Tho allied governments have re-
j celled the nolo which was delivered to

wilh tho care imposed upon them

they have of Ihe gravity of tho hour
und hv the sincere friendship which
attaches them to the American people.
"In u genual way they pay tribute
in the elciallon of tho sentiment with
which tlnv Ami'ilciin nolo Is Inspired
nnd that they associate themselves
with ull their hopes with Ihi project
for the creation of a league of notions
to Insure p. ace nnd Justice thruout
the world. They rocugle all the ad-
vantages for the cause of humanity
ami civilization which ih Institution
ol international agreements destined
to avoid violent conflicts between na-
tions would assure; agreements which
must Imply the sanctions necessary to
Insure their explanations and thus to
Irrvent an apparent security from

a discussion of future arrangements
destined to insure an enduring peace
presupposed a satisfactory settlement
of tin. actual conflict; the allies havo
us profound n de.dre as the giivern-
mcni of tho ('lined states to termi-
nate as soon us possible a war for
which the central empires ure rcspon-
i ll.le and which Inflicts sin h cruel
