WANT TO KNOW WHY? Because
Daddy and I no longer have to worry
and wonder about wnich oil to buy to
make our car last longer. We discovered
the answer in an ad—just like this one.
And it said:
One of the best precautions you can
take to protect and lengthen the life of
your motor is to use good oil. But which
oil is good? The following facts should
help you decide.
Phillips makes this straightforward
statement: If you want our pest oil, re-
member we specify Phillips 66 Motor Oil
is our finest quality. . . the highest grade
and greatest value .. . among all the oils
we offer to average motorists.
g^~Phillips 66 is the name to remember
when you replace summer-thinned lubri-
cant, or make the recommended every-
two-months oil change.

Humorous Story
By WILL ROGERS
I WONDER how the girls Bl-
ooming out that studied how t(
Cook in school. There has alway.
been jokes about brides and th<
Way they can't cook, although
never could understand why beirn.
• bride would make anybody coo'
wrong.
Anyhow, there was one brid<
that never took cooking at school
She served lamb chops and her hu«
band acted awful funny about eat-
ing them.

tot. m OPEN?: It is an estab-
Iilhed fact that 20% of the American
people possets nearly all our na
•tional wealth, 80% nothing. Concen-
tration of economic power, accord-
ing to Berle and Means, has placed
.more than one-half the corporate
wealth of the nation In the control
of J00 corporations and over 40% of
the business wealth. Two thousand
persons control these companies;
that is, two thousand out of 130 mil-
lions of people are In a position to
control the wealth of our nation.
Lewis Corey bas estimated that 167
persons alone In the Morgan combi-
nation control over one-fourth of our
national wealth. Similar facts have
been confirmed by other economists.
Pres. Roosevelt took cognizance ot
them In a message to Congress one
year before the outbreak of the war
when he said that one-tenth of 1%
of all corporations reporting from
every part of the nation owned 52%
of the assets of all of them. Combined
with similar corporations in Ger-
many, these great cartels have defied
the government of the United Slates.
We have become a plutocracy. Ours
is no longer a society of freeholders,
as dreamed by Jefferson, but s na-
tion of wage-workers dependent on
the great corporations for a chance
to earn our dally bread. The con-
tinuation of such a condition Is In-
tolerable. The people, not the cor-
porations, are sovereign. If we are to
be free, we must exercise our sover-
eign control, take over Industry, and
operate our economy in the interest
of the needy many, not the priv-
ileged few.
MK. POLLOCK CHALLENGES:
Mr. Eby"s figures are as familiar and
as bogus as a showgirl's. Dr. Robert
Rutherford Deane tells us that net
Incomes over $5,000 account for only
10% of national income, and that
91% of our adult population possess
property. In 1932, 14 million out ot
26 million heads of families owned
their homes; there were 67 million
life-Insurance policies, 44 million
savings bank accounts, and 24 mil
lion registered security holders 1
cannot agree with Mr. Eby that "The
continuation of such a condition is
intolerable." The "needy many" and
the "privileged few" exist chiefly in
States that have taken over industry
and exercise that "sovereign control"
which is really bureaucratic control
and/or dictatorsMp. «
MR. EBY REPLIES: More figures
60 to 65% of the Americans arriving
at 60 were dependent on friends, re-
lations or institutions, before Social
Security—these are lite insurance
quotations. Perhaps we should shoot
the 60%? In 1932, the same year Mr.
Pollock uses for reference, we hri'J
a national income of 50 to 60 billion;
11 million unemployed. In 1932, 70%
of all American families Inert on
$1500 per year or less; in 1932, $2300
per year was considered the absolute
minimum for a decent living stand
ard for a family of five. It took ;
war to lift our national income i
200 billion dollars a year and to erase
unemployment. Mr. Pollock may be-
lieve private industry can keep our
economy operating at full capacity
and everyone working, that it ca-i
overcome the failure of 1932. 1 do
not.
MR. POLLOCK OPENS: Dots the
machine age require federal control
over doctors? Does it require federal
control over our farms, our school*,
food, clothing, beauty shops and rat-
catching? I include the last two en-
terprises because, not long ago.
Washington was providing free facial
treatments to female inmates of cor*
rectlonal Institutions, and spent $S99,*<
854 of our money on rodent exter-
mination in New Orleans. A new, and
I think dangerous school of thought
proposes government control of tvtry
thing because of anything, and Is
rapidly changing us from a nation of
free men to a herd of cattle to be
driven to pasture and stabled at
night. Whence comes this conviction
of federal omniscience and desire for
federal omnipotence; the idea that
the men who have made our Industry
an example for the world are to turn
over the helm to those who, having
failed at everything else, landed in
politics? What Is government? Is it a
mysterious cosmic godhead, or Is It
Ifarry Hopkins and Professor Tug-
well and Magistrate Aurello? Herbert
Spencer thought government proc-
esses "invariably slow, stupid, ex-
travagant, unadaptive, corrupt and
obstructive," and Thomas Jefferson,
so constantly quoted by the new
school, asked. "What l is destroyed
liberty . . in every government
which has ever existed?", and an-
swered, "The generalising and con-
centrating all cares and power* Into
one body." From Hammurabi to Hit-
ler, government control of industry
has never produced anything but
misery, slavery and collapse, and It
never will.
MR. EBY CHALLENGES: Mr. Pol-
lock is concerned about money spent
for facial treatments for inmate* of
correctional institutions. Doe* he
deny the relation between appeer-
ance, morale and healing? Or doean't
he believe in healing? Typhus and
cholera-carrying rats do not have
the same respect for state line* a*
he does. Only the federal govern-
ment can coordinate an effective pro-
gram of plague control, with the co-
operation of international organisa-
tion. It is no accident that plague*
such as typhus spread in wartime'
and controls break down. A govern-
ment that is more interested in state**
rights than in rat control is no gov-
ernment at all for Its respect* rata
more than people. Democratic gov-
ernment is the exercise of the peo-
ple, of tfieir sovereign rights through
their elected officials, and, as long aa
they exercise sovereign rights, I have
no fear of their collective Judgments.
MK. rOI.I.OCK REPLIES: For
most of us, I think Mr. Eby's chal-
lenge answers itself. Regard for "ap-
pearance, morale and healing" as an
excuse for beauty treatment* in prl*-
ons is as absurd as Justifying Federal
extermination of rats at approxi-
mately $U'J a rat. As to the people'*
"sovereign rights through elected
officials." there can be no dispute.
It is only when these sovereign right*
n- - exercised by administrative bu*
by men nobody elected—end
elections are controlled by
expenditures for beautifying
is and killing rats; by pressure
of minorities, by million* of
i government employees, huge outlay*
for demagogic propaganda and the
| suppression of contrary opinion, that
1 tear "sovereign rights" on as vital
><n issue as that of the complete
| shelving of our economic system.
