WILL POWER BE AN ISSUE?
Some political observers believe that if Governor
Roosevelt of New York faces Hoover in the next presiden-
tial campaign, the issue of power development will be one
of importance. That question has come to the front page
of the press by President Hoover referring a letter from
the Nex York executive to Secretary Castle. The letter had
reference to powbr development on the St. Lawrence river.
If Roosevelt is selected to head the Democratic ticket
in the 1932 campaign, he may push the power issue but it
is hardly big enough to get the whole country worked up
about. The midwestern wheat farmer doesn't care whether
New York state is considered in any possible power de-
velopment along the St. Lawrence river.
Wheat, cotton, and oil sections are going to demand
something other than building a dam on the St. Lawrence.
They want some action on policies thta will help them in
securing a decent living in producing their raw materials.
The management and policies of the federal farm
board have been rocking the market in wheat and cotton.
The body w|is organized to aid the farmer in marketing
his products and in offering helpful advice. The farm
board had adopted the policy of buying up surplus wheat
and cotton in an effort to stabilize prices on those products.
Instead of steadying the market, it has done the opposite
this year.
That orgaization should help the farmfer to organize
and to find foreign markets for them. It should act as an
international market representative for American farmers
who are not able to negotiate with foreign buyers. The farm
ooard can do this in both wheat and cotton. There is an un-
equal distribution of these products in the world. The
trouble is that a surplus exists in this country while in
some foreign nations there is a shortage. Arrangements for
credit could be made through the federal board where
there is not sufficient capital to purchase our products.
Certainly the oil embargo question will come up for its
share of debate in the coming campaign. The oil industry
affects millions of people in the mid-continent area and
they are sure to demand that something be done about for-
eign oil imports. These poeple of the oil fields have seen
better days—they still remember those rosy days—and
they want them back again. At present it is almost impos-
sible with the flood of foreign oil coming in to glut the
market. It is true the depression cut down the market con-
siderably, but that depression was not all that had to do
the plight of the oil industry.
The states where oil is produced are doing all in their
power to stabilize the industry, but they need federal as-
sistance. They canot stop Standard Oil from bringing in
Venezuela crude. Royal Dutcnh Shell is doing the same
thing only it does not boast about it like the American en-
terprises.
Standard Oil has dreamed for years of becoming the
largest oil concern in the wprld, the position of Royal Dutch
Shell now occupies. Merger after merger has occured and
"freeze" after "freeze" has been effected with that aim in
view.
The depression and the foreign oil flood have nearly
cut the foundation from under the thousands of indepen-
dents in domestic fields. These independents need a let-up
on the foreign flood for a while so they can get back on
their feet. A temporary embargo is needed and the indepen-
dents are going to demand that something be done about
it. Oil in the past year has become a national question and
it is sure to get mention in the 1932 campaign.

total shutdown and the gradual con-
sumption of oU stored and on hand.
Among the original advocates of
martial law. who urged Gov. Ross
S. Sterling to send the militia here
to cope with the situation, belief
existed that martial law would not
be lifted until all operators in the
area had made a tacit agreement
to "play ball" with the state In its
efforts to enforce the new conserva-
tion law to be made effective late
this month.
It was hoped this would prevent
any attempts being made by litiga-
tion to embarrast the stale railroad
commission in administering the
new law.
The "military district of East Tex-
as" looked Just that tonight. Rain
fell during most of the day and it
was typical "war weather." At bri-
gade headquarters and subordinate
camps over the field, officers and
men picked their way through wet
grass and made their tents snug
against the rainy weather.
Oeneral Wtoltcrs kept his men
busy with ceaseless surveys and him-
self did not shirk. All day his big
staff car bounded over rutted roads
of the area as he made rounds of
inspection.
The lid seemed clamped immov-
ably upon East Texas, whose pro-
duction broke the nation s market.
Meanwhile railroads were feeling
the cffect of the shutdown in sharp-
ly decreased oil shipments. The Mis-
souri Pacific line-' was unofficially
reported to have laid oft ISO men.
. OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 19. </P>-
Asserttng four of five oil company
repreeentaUves who called on him
this afternoon had agreed to nav fti
a barrel for oil, Oovernor Murray
saH la. i' today he believed a plan
could Lie woiKed out within a few
days "under which the companies
can run day and night if they want
to."
The po\crnor declined to disclose
ths names ol operators of the five
refineries. When they attempted to
compromise oil the price which the
governor has declared must be $1 a
barrel before martial law Is lifted, he
told them he was "not calling for
bids but for a price."
"One firm cuid it oould not poe>
stbly pny mole than 79 cents a bar-
rel u:ulcv present conditions," Mur-
ray *aid. "All but one finally of-
fered to five a dollar. If the com-
panies producing from the Wilcox
sar.d will get together, agree to pro-
rate and to pay $1 a barrel I be-
lieve a plan can be worked out with-
in a lew dny;. so they can run day
and night.
"I lolci them that if they do that
I would appeal to the public to
patronize them."

Fee Abuses Again
Investigation by the Texas house
of Uie alleged negligence of Judge J.
B. Price at Bastrop has brought out
again the iniquities of the foe sys-
tem of remunerating public officials.
One witness, Judge George Cal-
houn, on the commission of crim-
inal appeals, said: "The fee system
is the curse of the country. Men
who naturally are honest become
dishonest through this system. It
Is an inducement to dishonesty. Of-
ficers working under the fee system
are not satisfied with a pood living.
but want everything they can get."
♦ • *
But the fee system not only en-
riches some officials — it starves
others. It has been proved inade-
quate in Gray county at the pres-
ent time, although formerly it
was little short of a gold mine. An
officer is worthy of his hire, but
no more. He should be allowed
neither to starve nor get rich at
public expense.
*
Some Kind of Record
The federal farm board, appar-
ently groping for any plan to gain
a little favor, continues to set a rec-
ord for being In a dilemma. Now
Carl Williams, cotton member,
ccmes out urging community chests
to buy farm board wheat. As a mat-
ter of fact, this idea has been in op-
eration all over the country for a
month, and the grain is being bought
to help the farmers, not the farm
board. Perhaps within another
month the board will hear of an-
other current effort and recommend
that too. After watching the board's
antics, and the crop forecasters'
blunders, who can wish to put the
government into business?
• • ♦
Independent oil men have to
recognize that not only does sup-
ply and demand in part control
the price and market for their
product, but that major companies
also largely control that supply.
Closing down oi Oklahoma and
Kansas wells has brought a big-
ger flood of foreign oil, to which
the independent refiners do not
have access. Thus the old
"squeeze" continues and the shut-
downs intended to save money for
land and royalty owners and the
state will not accomplish their
purpose without a raise in price.
That price hike is almost entirely
within the discretion of major
buyers, who arc conspicuous by
their silence.
• * •
Governor Bill Murray frankly Is
after $1 (>er barrel. Forbidden to
take this move under the new cur-
tailment law, Governor Sterling is
seeking the same result under the
guise or stopping physical waste by-
water intrusion. There Is nothing
permanent In a shutdown. It must
of necessity be short to prevent con-
fiscation of property and voiding of
contracts.

Every LUCKY STRIKE is made of the
finest tobacco leaves the world can offer—the fin-
est from Turkey—the finest from Kentucky, Ten*
nessee, Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas—the
Cream of many Crops throughout the world. But
all tobacco leaves, regardless of price and kind, as
nature produces them, contain harsh irritants*
LUCKY STRIKE'S exclusive "TOASTING"
Process—a process that mellows, that purifies, that
includes the use of the modern Ultra Violet Stay*
expels certain harsh irirtants naturally present in
every tobacco leaf. We sell these expelled irri
tants to manufacturers of chemical compounds,
who use them as a base in making sheep-dip*, as
well as a powerful spraying solution for trees,
flowers and shrubs—enough to permit the daily
dipping of over 50,000 sheep or the daily spray*
ing of many thousands of trees. Thus, you
are sure these irritants, naturally present in
all tobacco leaves, are not in your LUCKY
STRIKE. "They're out—so they can't be in!"
No wonder LUCKIES are always kind
