attorney general of the state
Tevas, (whose home is in Green-

nies to force them to pay penal-
ties aggregating over one him- .
dred million dollars ($100,000,-
000) and oust them from doing
business in Texas; and,
‘Whereas, a similar suit was
filed against another oil company
,a few years ago, assisted by the
attorney general of the state, al-
leging as the purpose of said
suit the ousting of said compan-
ny from (Joing busniess in
state and the collection of said
penalty from it. ami after months
of sensational newspaper articles
and much publicity, said oil com-
pany was duly tried in the courts
in Austin, and a penalty of about
two million dollars ($2,000,000)
and court costs and additional
fees for both federal and state
receivers, apd enormous lawyer
fees was paid; and,
"Whereas, after paying said
penalty 'the large bulk of which
went to the district and county
attorneys who filed the suit)
court costs and lawyer and re-
ceivers' fees, said company was
not ousted from the state at all,
but merely changed its name and
never left the state nor did any-
one endeavor to make it leave
the state, but continued to sell
bil. (and is doing so now) in
Texas, but advanced the price of
■ oil so as to collect back from the
oil comsuiners of Texas al)
above penalty, court costs

•VER ONE HUNDRED MILL10N D0LLARS PEN-
ALTIES DEMANDED FROM OIL COMPANIES
A
As was mentioned' tn the Ftuwers’
Fireside Bulletin last week. Attorney
General B F. Looney and the coun-
ty attorney of Hunt county have filed
a suit in Greenville against several
nil companies and are asking penal-
ties in excess of one hundred mil-
lion dollars, and demand ousting of
said companies from doing business
in Texas, etc , etc.
This suit brings to mind the sen-
sational farce whiph was flaunted in
the faee of the people in Tl-xas a few
years ago. in
Waters-Pierce OiT Co.,
company paid about two
million dollars in penalties and law-
yers' fees and receivers' fees and
court cost, all of which it paid; and I
then merely changed i*«
then advanced ito> price
proceeded to d<> busiio -
lerted said fine and f es
mostly from the farm-r
ing people.
On this subject the
on Mardi the 7th, said:
“Applying the Present Anti-Trust
Law*.
"Suing oil companies seems to
have hoeonie a fixed habit in this
state, and, likewise, a favorite
method with \ttorneys General
Ui celebrate their political vir-
tues and- disport their l«gal abil-
ities We suppose it is the duty
of citizens to endure the weary
monotony of the thing with what
fortitude they can muster. If a
law has been violated it is the
right of the law to be redressed,
but one’s solicitude for the redress
of the law will naturally
4«mrwh»t in proportion tn
respect for the law, and our
U-trust law does not. we
lieve, greatly commend itself to
sensible men in this state. They
have sought in vain to discover •
some public benefits resulting
from the enforcement of it. Cer-
say
those
to
be made receivers and to get
places in the large retinue of re-
ceivers. in the newest of these
.suits penalties aggregating
something like $2$.000,000 are
asked. We doubt if the state
will get more than a very small
fraction of Itiat sum, and we aril
quite sure that what the state
gets will he a very modest
amount compared to the profit
thai Kvill mure to the lawyers.
Meantime we are not
asked to contemplate this
tinuous performance in folly, not *
only with complacence, but with
patriotic fervor, and to regard it
as proof of the sagacity and vir-
tue of our public servants. It is
a hard Job to put on the popular
imagination.”
it is refreshing'^o see the News
coming out on the side of the people
at last, and stating plain facts like
the above, and it will be observed
that the News now frankly and bold-
ly asserts that the only persons en-
riched by the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.
!litigation was a few lawyers.
During the many months of
Waters-Pierce litigation, never
did the News come out on the side
of the people, as it has so refreshing-
ly done in this instance, and this ed-
itor'(in the Arlington Journal) call-
ed the News to task for not doing so,
Jnd once or twice the News repHed
by merely stating that the "Arlington
Journal complained" that It (the
News) was not giving full facts as it
should.
However, there is no mistaking the
views which the News now holds, as
expressed in it's editorial of March
7th. And the News repeats the very
assertions which this editor has main-
tained all along, namely:
That the farmer* pay over ninety
per cent of the expeneee of all such
litigation, and a few lawyer*,* only,
are beneflttad.
And the Newt further boldly state*

and ChroniO

that eeveral private fortune* In Tex-
as can ba traced to that Watere-
Plerca <tyl Do. litigation I
Clipping* from other Texas paper*
fiave been mailed us, but their name*
were omitted by the senders,
of them are as follows:
"Another big anti-trust suit
has been filed in Greenville by
the attorney general of Texas,
and the county attorney of Hnnt
■county,* and the farmers of Tex-
as bad better lay in five yeals’
supply of oil before it is advanc-
ed to pay the cost of those v
shits "
'Another said: • .
“Attorney General B. F. -Loon- '
ey has filed a suit in Greenville
against the Magnolia -OH com-
pany, and other oil companies
and says he‘ proposes to run
them out of the state, after mak-
ing them pay fines of Mvera)
million dollars. Th* farmer* had
to pay th* fin* of th* Wat*r*-
Rierc* Oil company, and Mr.
Loon*y *vld*ntly believe* that
th* farmer* now h*v* too mueh ’

•om* of hl* lawyer friend* to do .
equally a* well In levying a trlb-
“ute on th* farmer* by having
them pay higher price* for oil,
a* Attorney General Davldaon did
for hla friend*.”
That is plain talk and so is the fol-
lowing :
‘The atorney genera! of Texas
and the county attorney of Hunt
county seemed to have determin-
ed to.go Attorney General David-
son one betjer J>v trying to col-
lect on>’ hundred million dollars
instead of two million dollars, in
penalties from oil companies.
"We beg to remind Hon B. F.
Looney that the farmers and la-
boring men of Texas paid that
tine to Waters-Pierce Oil com-
pany. and the farmers found it
• mt. and then they rewarded At-
torney General Davidson by vot-
ing him into private life when he
ran for governor on his record
of having collected (hat oil
from the farmers.
“Doubtless his lawyer friends
whom he favored in that suit,
voted for him. but the farmers,
who paid for it, voted for the
other fellow."
The above are rich and to the
point, and we regret our friends who
mailed them to us failed to give thf
names of the papers from which they
jclipped them. But the following will
■be an eye-opener and mind-enlight-
ener to our farmers.
It seems as if the farmers of La-
mar county have studied this ques-
tion and expressed their views in the
following resolution, which we clip-
ped from the North Texas Farmer, of
March 13th, 1913—heading and -all:

. The ‘ Lamar County Farmers’
- Union's resolution is very much in
keeping with the editorial of the Dal-
las News on the subject; and their
resolution should set the farmers, as
vyell as our iaw-makers, to both
thinking and acting. On the above
resolution the ,North Texas Farmer
hajl the folowing to say in its issue
of March 11th, 1913:
"A Ringing Resolution.
"On another page is published
, the resolution of the Lamar
County Farmers’ Union con-
demning the institution of the
state suits At Greenville to
oust and penalize in heavy for-
feitures certain of the oil com-
panies operating in Texas
“This is manifestly an open
protest against the further prac-
tice nf that system of corpora-
tion-trailing that has resulted
heretofore ih nothing more than
harassing big business enterpris-
es, paoviding outrageously ex-
orldtant fees for a class of law-
yers designated now as “damag-
ing industrials”, and. in an Indi-
rect. though effective manner fas- .
tening the penalties adjudged
upon the consumers, nine-
tenths of whom are farmers.
The kesolutuion very pointedly
profert the Waters-Pierce case
that culminated in the ouster
that ousted the penalty of near-
ly $2,000,000 from the pockets
<»f the farmers, but did not touch ‘
the alleged offending corpora-
tion, except to advance its rates
under a changed name.
"This resolution should be
studied and pondered by every
fair minded man in Texas, and
especially the farmers and labor-
ing classes."
If there is any one editor in Texas
who is competent to write on this
subject, and who knows what he is
talking about, it is Brother Nat P
Jackson, of the North Texas Farmer. I
who is a scholar and editor ano
one of the best informed lawyers in I
Texas, aniLwho resided for years in
Austin and 'who knows every poli-
tician of the state, and who mingled
freely with our law makers for over
twenty years, and is well aware that
our Anti-Trust laws, and many other
laws, were put on our statute books,
not for the purpose of protecting the
S'.
