What the Oil Industry Has Done B3
Is the oil industry, which served us so magnificently uring
the war and is performing an equally tough job now, an ogre that
should be destroyed? The readers of a recent book written by a
group of university professors may think it is. These teachers ad-
vocate a policy of breaking up and reorganizing the industry, the
ultimate result of which could only be nationalization.

THE CAUSE
BY BOR MOORE
He said the years had been un-
kind to him,
This misfortune was the cause
of this, his plight.
And he kept 'sitting, there with
face set grim,
Bemoaning fate had meant this
oversight.
His house was sadly needing vast
repairs?
His fields were choked with
grass and weeds.
The sagging fence , and rusty ;
tools where flares
Of sun and rain had drenched, ,
bespoke their needs.

Let death reach forth with pal-

Cure Worse Than Disease
Just how important a part proposals for price control and
rationing of commodities will play in the pending political
campaigns remains to be seen. Some candidates will undoubt-
edly urge them, on the theory that they may have a strong appeal
to voters with a shrinking dollar. Under these circumstances, the
people should give considerable thought to the problems in-
volved.
First of all, no one is going to make anything or produce
anything at a loss. We could, for instance, establish by law ai
ceiling price of two-bits a dozen on eggs and two dollars a pair
of shoes. The farmer and the shoe manufacturer would then,
from necessity, turn to other products or call it a day.
We could pass a law saying that retailers must sell goods at
such and such a price, regardless of wholesale costs or the costs
of doing business. Then also from necessity, the retailer would
have to stop ordering those goods unless he were willing to
gradually go broke.
We could issue ration books once more, on the grounds
that this would allocate scarce commodities equitably. And then
the scarce goods would flow into the black market, where they
could be bought only by the well heeled few—just as they did
under OP A, and just as they are doing everywhere in the world
where rationing remains in effect.
The only cure for inflation lies in individual thrift, a reduc-
tion in the cost of government, and in maximum production by
labor, management and everyone else. Artificial controls always
deal with effects and never with causes. And they create a worse
situation than that they are supposed to correct.
Make Courtesy
Characterize
Your Driving
Austin, Texas, Aug. 26.—You
wouldn’t rely on another guy to
tip your hat when you meet a lady.
Neither can ybu build your repu-
tation as a considerate driver on
someone else’s courtesy!
That was the statement made
today by George Clarke, managing
director of the Texas Safety Asso-
ciation, in commenting on the
August “Safety Through Courtesy”
campaign being’ sponsored by the
National Safety Council and co-
operating organizations.
“Make courtesy characterize your
driving—then watch your driving
record improve,” declared Mr.
Clarke. Every motorist and every
pedestrian should keep constantly
in mind the thought that courtesy
does prevent accidents. Courtesy
saves lives. You never heard of
anyone apologizing for’ being court-
eous, but you can be sure that
many a driver has been sorry for
his recklessnes."
He listed these courtesy tips for
drivers:
1, Use hand signals to inform
of which must compete for trade with all the others.
Is oil doing its job? The answer to that is that oil has met
a record postwar demand, which no one could have anticipated,
with only minor dislocations of the supply-demand relationship.
/And output will be 8 per cent greater this year than last.
To sum it all up, oil is free enterprise at its best. It typifies
efficiency and economy in its operation. To destroy the in-
dustry as it is now constituted would work irreparable harm on
this country and the world.
