Something to think about-
The Tulsa Tribune in its issue of Saturday, June 6, 1931, printed the
following leading editorial dealing with a phase of the gas situation in
Oklahoma that is of vital importance to every citizen of this vast and
growing commonwealth.
I he editorial is clear and concise. It shows a grasp of the situation
that should be possessed by everyone. “So the people may know,” this
editorial is being reprinted as a paid advertisement in the daily news-
papers of Oklahoma throughout the territory served by the Oklahoma
Natural Gas Corporation.
I he editorial follows. The emphasis to certain statements are our own.
Hold the Advantage
Tulsa should be very much interested in the predic-
tion made at the American Gas association’s annual
meeting in Memphis a few days ago by Floyd W.
Parsons, editor ot Gas Age, that the next ten years
will be primarily “a fuel era,” with natural gas “the
young giant in an enormous new development.
Some very striking facts stand back of this predic-
tion to give it the strength of prophecy. The expan-
sion in the field of distribution by pipeline has been
particularly marked in recent years. Advances in
methods of pipe manufacture and pipeline construc-
tion, together with the instant popularity of gas for
domestic or industrial fuel uses upon its introduction
to any community, have combined during the last
ten years to increase the consumption of natural gas
by 130 per cent. In the last year alone, 14,162 miles
ot natural gas lines were put under construction, no
less than four exceeding 1,000 miles in length.
Most ot the gas to be carried through these new
lines will be taken from the southwest. Deposits in
the Panhandle of Texas are being drawn upon to
supply the fuel needs of a number of large middle-
western cities from Omaha to Denver. Oklahoma’s
deposits are also being tapped to supply out-of-state
markets. Repeal of the gas prohibitory export law
by the state legislature during the Johnston adminis-
tration was effected just in time to permit Okla-
homa s gas deposits to be included in the great south-
western pool with which many cities are now being,
or already been, connected.
Tulsa’s and Oklahoma’s interest in this develop-
ment hinges on the fact that this state’s gas is thus
being tapped. It is time we pondered the probable
effect upon our own industrial hopes, whether we
stand to profit or to lose by thus having “the young
giant" ot Oklahoma gas harnessed to serve the in-
dustries of other states.
Oklahoma’s natural gas deposits alone should make
this state the greatest industrial area in the country.
It is an industrial advantage that no other state can
match. No other state came near equalling the total
cubic footage of Oklahoma gas production in 1928,
the last year for which production figures are avail-
able. At the beginning of an industrial development
era in which gas is obviously going to play a very big
part, probably second only to the part to be played
by the production and distribution of electric power
—in which Oklahoma is also sitting pretty as regards
potentialities—we should be determined to make the
most of that advantage.
If industries in Chicago and other cities find it
profitable to burn gas at rates based upon the carry-
ing charges through 1,000-mile pipelines and upon the
huge capitalization of the transportation systems,
they should find it more profitable to move to Okla-
homa. If the proper differential between gas rates
in this state and in cities 1,000 miles away is main-
tained. those industries can be assured the savings in
fuel costs that would justify their moving. Or at least
new industries could be shown that it would be to
their advantage to locate in Oklahoma rather than
at the other end of one of the 1,000-mile gas lines
leading out of the southwest.
A great amount of confusion concerning the gas
rates has been caused in Oklahoma by promoters
bidding against the established distributors for fran-
chises. Every time a municipal franchise is up for
renewal, among the bidders may be found one or
more of the type who seek franchises for no other
purpose than to resell them to the big companies at
higher prices, which in turn are added to the big
concerns’ rate-fixing valuation figures.
Oklahoma cities about to grant franchise renewals
should he on guard against promoting agitators.
Dealing with franchise traders is not the way to get
a sound rate structure. The only way Oklahoma may
have the gas rates to'which it is entitled is for the
public to force the rate-fixing bodies to strip padded
valuations down to the bare essentials of actual in-
vestment, plus gas cost, plus operating expense, plus
minimum allowance for actual depreciation and plus
a fair and reasonable profit. When this is done, and
the rates fixed accordingly. Oklahoma will be in a
position to realize to the fullest extent on the great
industrial advantages of its natural gas deposits.
It is well to remember that the vast inter-locking system of the Okla-
homa Natural Gas ( orporation, with its tremendous gas reserves is pro-
tecting Oklahoma tields against depiction for the advantage of distant
cities and states.
These gas reserves are a part of Oklahoma Natural Gas Corporation’s
program to prepare lor the future industrial growth of this state and
to enable great industries to build factories at the very base of the fuel
supply at enormous savings to these industries.
The editorial gives timely warning that cities should be on their
"guard against promoting agitators.” Very properly, too, the editorial
points out that a great contusion concerning gas rates has been
caused in Oklahoma by promoters bidding against the established dis-
11motors lor franchises. Every time a municipal franchise is up for
renewal, among the bidders may be found one or more of the type who
seek franchises for no other purpose than to resell them to the big
cnmpaniCtS at higher prices, yvhieh in turn are added to the big concerns’
rate-fixing valuation figures.”
Surely this editorial is something to think about
