Decision Breaking Up the
Parent Company Has
Greatly Increased the Ef-

Lines.
BY JAMES B. MORROW.

The latest weapon to be drawn against
the Standard OIL Company Is a proposal
by Senator Owen, Of Oklahoma. to ma
tionalize its 1o.ooo miles Of trunk pipe
lines, valued. 50 John D. Rockefeller once

Nationalist means purchase. Mr..
Rockefeller, though, may contend that II
means confiscate. Having separated the
Standard into many supposedly detached
units, the government is now listening
to another plan Of attack on the richest
monopoly that ever existed.
The attitude OF the White House to-
ward the project remains undivulged. At
least one member Of the Cabinet Is not
averse to the suggestion. Senators. on
intimate political and legislative terms
with the President. are known to favor II.
The House swarms with public-owner-
ship advocates. In the main, of course,
the idea is to push the frontier of the
new freedom forward so as to include
petroleum.

making more money than ever before.

The Standard. every one agrees, could
lower prices and drive its competitors,
large and small, out Of business. But the
Standard is as eager for profits as ever
and besides, a complete monopolization

they are afraid to enter a trade war with

large measure reduce the danger

BETTER BUSINESS METHODS

Farmers are criticised by
tradesmen for their lax business
methods, especially in the mat
ter of meeting financial obliga-
tons. The credit system of mer-
chandising is the bane- of COM
mercial enterprises. 1t is not UNI
common that merchants have as
much in outstanding accounts as
they have on their shelves. 1t is
not along the double working
capital upon which a dividend
must be paid that adds to the
cost of retail business, but not
the uncertainty as to when ac-
counts will be paid. and the Ger
tainty that some of them will
never be paid. that figure as 9TH
err elements i'm retail prices. The
credit system is the outgrowth of
three conditions: The habit on
the part of some to consume in
advance of production, the
they have the money, and the
reluctance of many toward Dor
rowing from bank.
i III III 81 NoHlItluI uIcS llOC
prevail largely among farmers,
but the others do. Farmers do not
realize to the extent that they
should, how seriously business is
hindered by the retarded circula-
ton Of money. and how much they
might do toward relieving bust
ness stagnation in the commune
ty and personal worry on the par!
of others, by helping to keep
money busy. They can dol in
two ways; by paying obligations
promptly, even before due when
they have the money to do SO, and
by depositing their money in the
bank promptly upon receipt of it
and then paying obligations with
checks. \ dollar thus used will
do several times the service in a
community than the dollar does
which is! passed from hand to
hand. 1t serves the man who
OWNS it better. as it is easier to
make change in payment by writ
ing a cheek for the exact amount,
and the check at the same time
serves as a record of the trans
action and receipt for the pay
ment. The dollar in the bank al
SO serves the community as it is
available also as loan to some
one else.
