The U. S. Bureau of Mines has lately pointed out the in-
creasing ratio of cost in producing natural gas and gives
reasons therefor when it says:
"Only a limited quantity of natural gas can be taken from
each field, for as gas is withdrawn from a producing bed,
the pressure gradually decreases until the gas is exhausted
or drowned out by water, so the deposit must be abandoned.
Many fields have, therefore, been exhausted, while many
others are approaching that stage.

Criticizing the Courts
Editor The Press: "To condemn the supreme court ia
little short of anarchy," according to Governor-Richardson of
California.
Is it? Has he never read Lincoln’s condemnation of the
supreme court's decision in the Dred Scott case, to which con-
demnation the country gave its seal, of approval in the Civil
war? -
Some twenty years ago, Judge Taft said, "The opportun-
ity freely and publicly to criticise judicial action is vastly
more important to the body politic, than the immunity of
courts and judges from unjust aspersions and attack. Noth-
ing tends more to render judges careful of their decisions
and anxiously solicitous to do exset justice, than the con-
More Wells Required
“As the pressure of a field decreases and the wells be-
come less productive, more wells are required to supply a
given demand for gas. More pipe lines and equipment are
required to gather the gas from the wells and machinery
must be used to compress the gas so that it will flow thru
the pipelines.
“As nearby fields become less productive, the use of nat-
, ural gas must diminish unless it can be obtained from more
remote sources, and. if gas from such sources is available,
z it ean be obtained only by increased investment and other
expenditures. The cost of supplying natural gas to any ‘
community must, therefore, increase as the reserve of nat-
ural gas available to that community is depleted.”
The experience of this and every other "company operat-
ing in a large way in the natural gas field of America, bears
out the conclusions of the Bureau of Mines. The cost of pro-

It’s All Clear as Mud, Eh?
The clearest conception which has come to the average
icitizen from news reports of the rail merger hearing here
probably is that the American transportation tangle is-the
most puzzling domestic problem in this country's history.
The hearing made very clear, furthermore, the fact that
consolidation of the railroads into 21 great systems, now
cop tempested as the best way out of present difficulties, is
in itself a riddle of procedure of no mean proportions.
Testimony and arguments showed graphically how the
consolidation inquiry has plunged the Interstate Commerce
Commission into a maze of conflicting and overlapping in-
terests, sectional and national. .
Texas and Oklahoma spokesmen disagree on the merger
