I HASKELL BLAMES ROOSEVELT.
Writes President a Letter Charging
Him With' Being Responsible for
Oil Company's Having Pipe
Lino in Oklahoma.
Kansas City, Mo., Sopt. '2G.?Gov.
Charles N. Haskell, passing through
this city tonight on his way from Chicago
to Guthrie, gave out a letter addressed
to President Roosevelt defending
his (Haskell's) attitude toward
the Prairie Oil and Gas company and
assailing the president for granting,
before statehood, a franchise in In- m
dian Territory for a Standard Oil pipe 1
line at Hie request of Senator Chaun- ^
ocy M. Depew.
"You knew," writes Gov. Haskell,
"that Senator Depew was the greatest
Standard Oil agent in the senate."
Gov. Haskell says:
"I said that Uhe secretary of the interior
granted the Prairie Oil and
Gas company a franchise before statehood;
that tiho federal courts would
IM'fiVnnt Olll* Rfcn+.rt's infoi'Pnr/Minn nnd
Ithat we are compelled to treat it as _
tvc find the grant and that hcnce I i
properly dismissed the suit brought |]
by our attorney general without my
approval. Ex-Secretary Hitchcock
says he did not grant any franchise.
Secretary Garfield says he did, but
tihat the State's power is not in any
way limited to control it, and that I
am quiabbling. The press reports this
morning say that Hitchcock is hearing
that company's application for
franchise in the year 1903 (three
years before statehood) hesitated /
about granting it, whereupon Senator *
Depew and others went over Hitchcock's
head to you, MY.- President,
and got an order to the secretary to
make folic grant. _
"The Prarie Oil and Gas company
was a Kansas corporation and under
that franchise at once built its main
lino, from Kansas down about 100
miles into Indian Territory, now the
State of Oklahoma, and began opera- p
tion. A right was also included to
lay lateral lines to assemble oil from
wells into the main line, three such ^
laterals being laid to the nearby
cluster of wells now in question. Thus q
statehood found this foreign corporation
with its vested rights under the tl
interior department grant embracing

'1Mr. President, can we ignore your ^
grant and tear up (hat line under
State authority? You know we can c
not. Will a domestic corporation _
come in now with that interstate line
existing and parallel il to the same
wells? Certainly not, no more than a
new State railroad would build parallel
with an existing interstate road i.
to carry an amount of grain production
not ample for both. Who wants
an additional lateral line in this instance?
The owners of that cluster
of wells who produce the oil and must
market it or go into bankruptcy; the
land owners who want their royalties;
the laborers who want employment;
tilie local merchants whose trade depends
upon production and sale of nu^
merous small producers. We would
W all like to see this company take out
| a domestic charter; our attorney general
brought suit to prevent its laying
the additional lateral line until it
f should domesticate. The oil pipe q
company said: 'All right, stop us, Mr.
I'';. Attorney General. If you wish, we
can wait.'
