OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Dec.
1.—The oil business is leading the
march of all industry in the coun-
a try back to progress and prosper-
itv. Ernest O. Thompson, chairman
d the Texas Railroad Commission
declared here in an address before
measures, he said, is to prevent
waste in the production of oil and
gas with the sole aim in view that
the greatest ultimate amou.it of '.11
and gas shall be recovered from
the sands for the benefit of man-
kind.
Thompson pointed out to his
listeners that there are those in
the industry who would like to be
compelled, or to have others com-
pelled, to drill fewer wells in or-
der to save money.
The Texas commission chairman
stressed that regulatory laws must
be for the good of the most people
and that the people of the country
need and want cheap gasoline
prices
Laws. he said, which allow a few
to profit at the expense of many
should be stricken down.
Fewer Producers
"There are fewer oil producing
states than there are oil consum-
ing states." he asserted, “and even
within the oil producing states
there are far fewer producers of
oil than there are consumers if
gasoine and lubricating oils, heat-
ing oils and fuel oils."
Col. Thompson. In reminding his
audience that the oil states com-
pact expires in September 1937,
expressed confidence that so long
as the member states stay within
the letter and honest intent of the
treaty that state legislatures would
be willing to authorize continua-
tion of the compact.
The commissioner spoke strong-
ly for the continued writing of oil
regulation orders on the scientific
facts of preventing actual physical
waste of oil, and urged that no al-
terations and changes be made in
the compact in its renewal.
Col. Thompson touched briefly
on the heavy drilling campaign
now being carried on, and put the
matter squarely up to the oil men
themselves to meet
“It is not the privilege of regu-
latory authorities to make rules or
regulations to prevent people from
spending their money foolishly, if
they like." he declared. “Our sole
duty is’strictly limited by statute,
court decisions and good public
policy to te actual prevention cf
physical waste in the production of
oil and gas.
“The oil states compact commis-
sion cannot under the treaty or
under the law limit the drilling of
oil wells. If too many wells are
being drilled, that is a matter to
be decided upon by those drilling
them. Some of the very people who
have talked long and loud about
too much drilling being done are
doing a right smart of the drilling
themselves."

dress on operation of the Oil
States Compact, and strongly
stressed that the compact's au-
thority is limited to the prevention
of actual physical waste in the
regulation of oil production in the
various member states.
The Compact Commission he
said, has made noteworthy prog-
ress during its short existence, and
the oil industry has gone forward
under it.
“None can deny it,” he declared,
"that the oil Industry is in excel-
lent condition. Demand has been
extremely high, production is un-
der reasonable control.”
Thompson outlined how the
Compact between the oil produc-
ing states grew out of efforts to
effect federal control of the oil in-
dustry which proved to be "neither
constitutional nor desirable."
In the compact, he said, was a
constitutional way to meet the
problems which confronted the cil
Industry at the time it was inau-
gurated. - .
No Limitation
Thompson brought out clearly
that the compact specifica’ly
states that it does not authorize
the member states to join in limit-
ing production of oil or gas for
the purpose of price fixing or to
promote regimentation, but is con-
fined to conserving oil and gas and
to preventing avoidable waste in
their production.
The compact, he said, was so
written "to the end that the oil
states compact commission would
never be used, directly or indirect-
ly. for the purpose of making oil
scarce in order to make it dear. ’
"This provision was put into the
oil states treaty out of an abun-
dance of caution for fear that
there might be those who would
undertake to use the oil states
compact for purposes which would
cause orders written under the
guise of conservation to be stricken
down because they were price-fix-
ing orders rather than waste pre-
vention measures."
Col. Thompson cited that it is
not the purpose of oil regulatory
bodies to save money for those
who wish to drill for oil.

Enough Oil Here, Axtell Byles
Says
OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 1.
There is no need for this or the
next several generations worrying
about a shortage of gasoline for
their automobiles, Axtell J. Byles,
president of the American Petro-
leum Institute, said Monday.
"A year ago the A. P. I esti-
mated the oil reserve of this coun-
try at in excess to 12,000,000,000
barrels," he said. “At present rate
of consumption that is enough for
12 years. In the meantime more
fields will be developed, sustitutes
for gasoline may be developed, the
