POSITION
(Industrial News Review)
The sale of natural gas to
consumers by distributing com-
panies, and the interstate trans-
mission of the gas by pipelines, j
are public utility functions. As
such, they long have been, are,
and will continue to be publicly (
regulated. i
But the production of natural:
gas in the field is in no way a i
public utility function. Sena- j
tor Fulbright made this afcend-
antly clear when he said of the
gas producer: "He must com-
ipete with thousands of other
producers for leases before he
can drill a sinele well. Should
he be lucky and hit that one-to-
nine shot, he must compete with j
many other producers for a
market. No one guarantees him
a return on his invested caoi-
tal, thus eliminating Khe tre-
mendous risks he must takf
He is inescapably a business of
economic imponderables. His
costs are almost impossible to
i
ascertain. -<•— w|
"The producer, in short . . .is
no more a public utility than
the man in West Virginia who
sells coal to an electric com-
pany in New York, no more one
than the oil producer who sells
diesel oil to a railroad, no more
one than the Detroit manufac-
turer w4\o sells buses to our lo-
cal transit company, no more
one than the California manu-
facturer who sells ainplanes to
the airlines of America."
Senator Fulbri\?ht is among
the leaders of a bipartisan cam-
paign to free gas producers of
needless and dangerous federal
controls (brought about as a re-
sult of a Supreme Court deci-
sion) which must inevitably dis-
courage exploration and risk-
taking, reduce Droduction, in-
crease costs, and in other ways
work to the direct disadvantage
of the consumer.

Democracy is the recurrent
suspicion that more than half of
the people are right more than
half the time. It is the feeling
of privacy in the polling
booths, the feeling of commun-
ion in the libraries, the fcelins
of vitality everywhere.
Democracy is the letter to the
editor.
Democracy is the score at the

It is an idea that has not been
disproed yet, a song the words
to which have rot fjono had.
It is the mustard on the hnt-

fee.
Democracy is the right of n

i oral fund when his own dues are

jmen walk down the same road
to work each day, and one will
complain endlessly of the chore.
Hie other will watch the sea-

cloud effects: he will soon have
a friendly tcquaintance with
those things along the way.

Actually there are ssverol
kinds of low which control our
liven. Perhooo the following
definitions will help explain the
differences:
STATUTE LAW is an enact-
ment of the state legislature or
the Congress. It is the written
low, sotting forth a system of
principles and rules of conduct.
COMMON LAW consists of
those principles and rules of ac-
tion which derive their author-
we observe. Money or the lack
of it will affect happiness but
little, for we will get out of life
what put into it.
"L' t your fnulti. give them
serious and sincere considera-
tion, and you will be blind to
the faults of others."

front the decrees of our courts
affirming such rules. It may
he written or unwritten, and
muqh of it we derived from the
ancient unwritten law of Eng-
land.
Parts of the statute and' com-
mon law are sometimes further
described*
