Those In California Make a Great

"a couple of years ago said Mr.
VIII a. Harris, of Los angeles, Cali
at he Shoreham, "a couple of fellows
in Los Angeles thought that they de-
tected traces of oil in some lands near
my city. one was a grocery store
clerk and the other was an engineer
who was getting 50 a day for running
a steam engine. People laughed mt
their oil theories These two men have
made a wonderful change in Califor'
mia. They are now worth more than
S1,000000 apiece and getting richer
every hour Others have made lots OF
money. There are several hundred
people in Los Angeles alone who have
become moderately rich through the
discovery of oil Los Angeles men are
now developing the oil fields couple

From the indications it looks as If the
whole of California, clear up to the
very northern counties, were rich with
OIL Most of this land, before the DIS
covery of oil, was barren and not con
sidered to he worth a dollar.
"The oil is making Il great chlnge
in California industrial enterprises.
E Coal, you know, is nightly expensive
out there. Now but little coal is used.
The Santa Fe Railroad uses oil to Iun
its locomotives The Southern Pacific
will change from coal to oil very soon.
They tell me that with oil so cheap
and coal so high the difference in the
cost of running a locomtive for sin-
gle day is $50 in favor of OIL If we
could get coal at So ton, delivered
where we want it, oil would still he
cheaper fuel for manufacturing pur-
poses. Now coal is worth more than
$3 a ton in most places that l ever
heard about in the East, so You see

WANT WAR BEER
TAX REMOVED
Brewers Appear Before the Ways
and Means Committee to Urge
Repeal of Act.

Wednesday last a large dele
cation representing the brew
ers of the United States APP
peared before the Ways and
Means Committee to urge the
repeal Of the extra tax of 81 a
barrel on beer imposed by the
war revenue act.
The delegation was sent by
the Board of Trustees of the
United States Brewers Associa-
ton, and included the presi-
dent of the association, Ru,
dolph Brandt, of Chicago.
President Brandt said
Congress imposed this addi-
tional war tax in spite of the
fact that fully two-thirds of
the Legitimate revenue sources
of the country, resOrted to in
1862 and 1868, remained wholly
untaxed. We paid this eXor-
bitant and unjust extra tax
under industrial and CONNER
cial difficulties which brought
to many of us utter ruin. The
effect is clearly demonstrated
by the fact that during the
past year-a year Of unprece-
denied affluence in all branches
of American commerce and
industry-the production of
beer has decreased by one mill
lion barrels"
In response to an inquiry by
Mr.. McClelland, Mr.. Brandt
said the tax on beer amounted
to S7O,OOO,OOO a year, by far
the largest tax collected on any
article.
The United States Treasury
is overlooking with surplus
money, and there is no justice
or equity in continuing the
war tax on the poor mans bev-
era9e. The poor man should
be allowed the privilege of en-
ioying his beer. 1t should
not be made almost prohibitive
to him. We hope to see this
congress abolish the tax. The
brewers should not be used for
the government to fitch from.
