Ex-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
BECAUSE:

BECAUSE:
He has broken his solemn
promise not to be a candidate for a
third term, therefore his other
promises are not to be relied upon.
2 For seven years he was
president, and during those seven
years the very conditions he now
pretends to combat viciously were
more thoroughly developed than
during all the other periods in the
country's history.
3 The day he became President
there were 149 trusts or combina-
tions. capitalized at $4,000, 900, 900
and the day he retired from office
there we're l ,O20 such combinations
capitalized at S31 900, 200, 900.

The man, next to Roosevelt,

MAY MAKE GASOLINE
AT VERY LOW COST

Los Angeles Times: Just west of
Los Angeles a plant for making gaso-
line has been const' ucted. by the A. F..
Gilmore Oil com pany along lines
worked out by C. w. Stone which it
s thought will revolutionize the gaso-
line trade in California, for the small
investment needed to install such q
plant, and the low cost of operation
will probably furnish many producers
with the means of making their own
product.
In an endeavor to find a better
method to separate oil from water IL
an emulsion which was being pumped
from the Gilmore wells, Stone a few
years ago hit upon the idea of running
the fluid over a series of steam coils
in a trough. The ordinary method OF
boiling the emulsion in a large tank
was at that time found to be expen-
sive. and had not proved effective iii
breaking up the globules Of oil and
water. But when the globules passed
over the steam pipes the contact with
the hot metal was found very effective
i'll separating the two elements.
Until a short time ago no effort was
fumes which constantly arose from the
trough, driven off by the heat, but the
inventor recently installed condensing
pipes to catch the gas. AS a result
OF this very fine grade of gasoline is
now secured. The fumes are allowed
TO rise and circulate through large
pipes where they condense. The liuulG
is then drawn off and purified with
dry steam
AT the present time two gallons Of
gasoline are secured from a barrel OF
the emulsion used at the Gilmore
plant. AS it is necessary to refine the
emulsion before it can be sold. there
is practically no expense attached IL
the manufacturing of the gasoline.
The returns derived from the sale Of
the gasoline are practically clear
proflt. Moreover, the plant cost ONLY
about 5000 originally, although I'M
provements have necessitated the in
vestment of a larger capital It is
estimated that gasoline factory mod
eled along the lines of that on the Gil
more property, and capable of extract
ing the product from 1000 barrels Of
OIL day can be built at a cost Of
5000 Many producers could easily
afford such a plant and the installing
OF great number of them should
have the effect of lowering the price
on gasoline, or at least stop it's in.
crease
The gross profits on gasoline. at the
rate OF 20 cents gallon which will
probably be established in a short
time, from plant costing $4,000 would
be in the neighborhood Of s4OO a day.
The net profits would probably range
all the way from $50 to $500. de-
pending altogether on the location of
the field The gasoline plant can be
used not only for extracting fumes
from an emulsion, in which case the
cost of operating would amount to
nothing, but would be equally effective
tor securing gasoline from pure oil.
1t is stated that in most cases where
oil is marketed for fuel a heavy
gravity is generally desired, and the
fact that the gasoline was extracted
would probably be more beneficial
than detrimental as far as the sellinr
value OF the product is concerned.
