PROMINENT CITIZEN BEFORE
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
I At a meeting of tho cxnculivo com-
mittee of tho County Council of Do-
j tense special committees reported
on .those who had not ilono their
duty in tho purchase of Liberty
bonds. Tho council furnishes the
following report of proceedings in
the Stino case:
"Tho committee requested J. H.
! Stino to bo present. Mr. Stine was
asked bow much war seomities lie
had purchased to date. lie replied
j that ho had purchased .f t on worth.
It was suggested that this amount
u:j inadequate considering Mr.
Stine's financial ability and ho was
told that although tho executive com-
niit.teo didn't consider the purchase
of $2j(i0 worth of bonds equal to his
proportional part of the issue the
council would bo satisfied if he would
make an additional purchase of $2-
100 worth of bonds so as to bring
his total holdings up to .:.''; im. Mr.
Stine's reply to this was that be did
not have tho ready money. His bank
er who was .present suggested to
Mr. Stine that ho would bo only loo
glad to take care of his bund pur
chases for him. Mr. Stine then ex-
pressed bis dissatisfaction with what
bo called ; the govern ni nut Interfer-
ence .with his business and said thej-
had limited the price on bin hog-i;
had made it so that he could not
buy cheap corn and seemed to be
very much dissatisfied in general
lie was then asked by a member o
tho council if ho didn't think it a pa-
triotic duty of every man to buy
bonds and war securities according
to his ability to do so. Mr. Stine's
reply was that he had enough to do
to look after his own business. The
council then reminder! . him of the
fact that every man ought to look
miailcut amount possible to clear
limself regardless of what he
. bought ids duty was and that tho
a erase citizen should not he con-
lidered foolish as Mr. Stine termed
I. when he subscribed for the
unotint of bonds that ho could roa-
onabiy take care of.
"The council tried to show Mr.
"lino thai his atliluda at this time
was wrong; that there was nothing
lersomi! in the matter; that the
xnimil had given every man a
chance to show why he should not
buy more bonds and that when cx-
;'anatlons were satisfactory they
.vere alwaya glad to be reasonable;
but the msiii question at Issue in
'.he present case was the attitude
and feelings toward the government
rcther than (lie amount of money put
nlo Liberty bonds.
"Mr. Stine did not. try to show tho
'oiumiUce that ho was not financial-
5 able lo do his part so tho commit-
tee told Jir Stine that after having
Sono over I no matter with lum they
were convinced that he ought to stil-
ly the mallei' over and take a .dlt-.
fere nt attitude toward his govern-
ment iu these matters.
"As Mr. Stine started to leave the;
room lie turned and sarcastically re-
narked to tho coinmiltca. 'If you fel
lows can buy these
than I can you had better go Jo it.'
The committeo stopped Mr. Stine

The Winning of the War Largely Depends- Upon
the Energetic Prosecution of the Oil Business
Our government and its allies are almost entirely
dependent on the American supply of crude oil. Okla-
homa produces the greatest supply of the grade of
crude oil most desired by the government. Most of the
battleships and cruisers of our own government and
ruir allies use oil for fuel. The same is true of the
creat fleet of destroyers which are so effective against
the German submarine. The mosquito fleet which so
zealously guards our shoras depends almost entirely
upon our stipplv of gasoline for fuel. THEREFORE
Oil. IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FAC-
TORS TN PREVENTING THE GERMANS FROM
CARRYING THE WAR INTO AMERICA. In France
the allied troops arc moved to and from the battlefields
in motors demanding large supplies of gasoline. The
huge tanks of our allies the British use gasoline.
Everyone knows that the supremacy of the allies in the
air is almost entirely due to the superior grade of
gasoline which America is able to furnish. A large
and constant supply of lubricants is indispensable to
the factories making guns and munitions and to the
factories making machines and tools for the manufac-
ture of guns and munitions. The winning of the great
war and therefore the perpetuation of our liberties in
America depends primarily on four things: First man-
power; second food; third munitions: and. fourth
fuel the latter including oil as one of its most indis-
pensable elements. IT IS UP TO THE OKLAHOMA
OIL PRODUCERS TO HAZARD ALL THEIR CAP-
ITAL AND TO P. END THEIR ENTIRE ENERGIES
TOWARD MAINTAINING AND INCREASING 1 IM-
POSSIBLE. THE SUPPLY OF CRUDE OIL. OTH-
ERWISE THEY FAIL IN THEIR DUTY NOT
ONLY TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERN-
MENT BUT TO CIVILIZATION
Why the Oil Business Demands En-
couragement at This Time
The oil districts in Oklahoma represent a very large
part of the wealth of this state. That being true the
oil producers have made large investments in govern-
ment bonds have contributed generously to the Red
Cross and other war charities and pay a large propor-
tion of the war taxes. Congress is now on the point of
making a large increase in the war taxes. THE OIL
COUNTRY WILL MEET ALL THESE BURDENS
PROUDLY. It so happens that the costs "Of labor and
material in the oil fields are practically twice what they
were several years ago. Notwithstanding this exten-
sive diversion of capital which would otherwise go
into wild cat development the oil men throughout the
country have made such a patriotic response to the de-
mands of the government for a supply of oil that it
is the only one of the vital needs of the government
jvbich is not under direct government control. THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SATISFIED WITH
OUR EFFORTS TO AID IT AND ITS ALLIES.
But 'a greater supply of crude oil is needed. The
drilling of known fields will barely maintain the
present production and even that is doubtful. Wild
cattir.g must be resorted to to fully meet the needs of
the government.
MID-CONTINENT OIL &

Oklahoma Should Not Interfere With
the Duty of the Oil Producers ot
til? 2l2ie 12 UlS Fcc-era- Government
Burdened as the oil business is by the gvncr.il con-
ditions referred to above from whlVh there fan be no
relief s we MUST win the war it is manifest that
there must be a LAST STRAW which will actually
prevent our doing our full duty to the government.
That "last straw" is unwise and burdensome legisla-
tion by the state of Oklahoma which legislation not
only hampers the oil business but is of no real benefit
to the people of the state.
tlow Oklahoma Discriminates Against
the Oil Business
When oil sells for $2.25 a barrel the oil producer
pays a tax on all of his production at that valuation.
No other kind of property in the state is assessed for
taxation at its full value. On the contrary other prop-
erty is assessed from 50 to 60 percent rarely more
than 75 percent of its value. The average tax rate out-
side of cities and towns in Oklahoma for the fiscal
year ending June 30 19! was 17.67 mills. Oil pro-
ducers pay a .30 mill tar: on their production. The
average rate of taxation on railroad property in Okla-
homa during the lat three years has been about 1 3-4
per cent. Oil producers pay 3 percent. The owners
of coal zinc lead and jack mines pay a 5 mill tax. Oil
producers pay a 30 mill tax which is six times greater.
The Effect of This Discrimination
In dollars and cents this discrimination actually
prevents the drilling of wild cat wells. Not only this
but the feeling on the part of the oil producers of the.:
state that their business is being discriminated against ..i
is in itself a discouragement. '
THE REMEDY
u as there ever a tune when we should be morK
careful in the selection of our state officers? Right
now every voter in this state should be burning with
patriotism. Imbued with that spirit he should stand
for honesty and fair dealing in every respect.- Ho
should satisfy himself that his ideas are properly rep-i
resented in the state legislature. The way to bring
about such a condition is to make careful inquiry into)
(he standing character and intelligence of the candi-
dates for the state legislature. Vote for the fair anct
honest man and turn a deaf ear to the professional
I'uuuLian.
