UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer, United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Tex., April 17. (UP)
—Today (April 17) the Texas
Railroad.Commission will hold
a hearing to gather data upon
which to determine how much
oil shall be produced in the
state during May.
Similar hearings have been
held almost every month since
the discovery of the East Tex-
as oil field sent prices of oil
down to 10 cents a barrel and
forced proration on the indus-
try.
REV. JESSE LE BRINGS
CLOSING MESSAGE AT
TW PEOPLES flEWL
With a large crowd in at-
tendance, the closing service
of the Young People’s revival
was held Sunday evening at
j the Methodist church. The
| message for the evening was
Since then the balancing of; brought by Rev. 'Jesse Lee,
oil production and market de-j presiding elder of the district,
mand has been a major worry | Services during the week and
for the Texas railroad com-; at the 11 o’clock hour Sunday,
missioners, for oil producers, i were conducted by Rev. Cyrus
for oil refiners, and for royalty | Earcus -of Lufkin. Regular
owners. |
For the commissioners, the
game is made more difficult by
a rule that makes them play it
blindfolded as far as price is
concerned. By law they may
not consider price.
Ordering the commissioners
in one sentence to disregard
price, the legislature in the
next directed them to consider
the consumer. Just what in-
terest, other than price, the
consumer has in the oil situ-
ation the legislature did not
define.
—UP—
Monday’s hearing probably
will develop more than the
usual competition among oil
fields for the share each may
claim of the state’s May pro-
duction. The commission is
supposed to decide how much
oil the state as a whole shall
produce, then allot it to fields
and prorate the field allow-
able among the individual
wells. !
Some fields are prorated on
one basis; some or. another.
Different conditions require
this, commissioners say.
Preration ran along with
considerable smoothness until
the number of wells in East
Texas became so great that
average production there
could not be reduced any more
without violating the margi-
nel well law. This is a law
saying that wells shall not. be
prorated below a specified
number of barrels a day. The
number of barrels depend on
the depth.
—UP—
Last year the railroad com-
mission began ordering wells,

H. Mathison of Nacogdoches.
In the afternoon, connec-
tional interest will be repre-

services at the Baptist church
were dismissed Sunday night
and Rev. J. A. Derrick an'd a
large number of his congrega-
tion worshipped with the

Cannan took occasion Sunday
to express his appreciation of
the splendid cooperation on
the part of everyone in mak-
ing the series of services a
success.
