and jobber has increased from nifty &c
eighty per CEN within less than q
year. Anyone with a spark of reason
knows that if conditions existed Justl-
flying such an increase, the whole
country would have known about it
for a year or more before hand. Be-
sides this, steps would have been
taken by the government to prevent
such a condition. Gasoline is not q
war commodity. Comparatively littls
OF it is or has been shipped abroad.
The vast majority of it is consumed
right here at home.
Nov. lets see what the producers
say in defense of the great rate in
crease. First, they allege a shortage
in crude oil production. Second, a
great increase in the number of gas
oiine-burning engines, Third, an in,
creasing foreign demand for gasoline.
Those, in the main, r the three lead
ing causes they assign. To take them
up one by one and answer them will
be an easy and cOngenlal task to the
car owner, and l am going to venture
my opinion here. / do not believe
that there was any shortage whatever
in the amount of crude oil production
this country last year. AS a nat
ter of fact, the governments first in
Vestigation, made in the fall of last
year just as prices began to get rest
less, showed that the oil producers had
huge quantities of the crude
material in warehouses all over the
country. The purpose is plain enough
TO hold and to jam the prices up. l
hHISnUn ~ ir tho nar~nnnn~nF tho n~@
ducers to an dmore suppress
sources of gasoline supply and to
the increase Of prices. When
the government ceases to lend its
sanction to their operations they will
for the time cease to increase prices
for fear of suits.
while it must be granted that the
number of gas-burning engines in one
iorm or another are increasing won-I
derfully, it is foolishness to contend
hat for every engine in use at this |
time last year two are now In use. /
Yet that is what the doubled-up prices
would have us believe, if the law OF
and demand is to apply. While
{ is<true that many more motor cars
ire being used today, it is also true :
hat many owners of misunderstanding
'oats have put their boats up, or have
the fuel they use. Here in
Charleston many boat owners have
their crafts up, and probably
here they will remain. Boats con-
'ume huge quantities of fuel. In ad-
ijtion, 1 find that small manufactul-
ng concerns are diluting their gaso-
ne with petrol, and some have en-
rely substituted kerosine for gaso-
Inc, az the result of high gasoline.
AL of this is bound to cut down the
Use of gasoline, and in part nullify :ha
eason given by the producers for so
Iuge an increase in prices.
I'VE ran dismiss the third reason
ssigned by the producers as scarcely
consideration. A review of re-
crts from Washington will fail to
any considerable growth in our s
gasoline trade within the passI
light months-when gas began toI,

from the worst. That is yet to come.
Opinions are expressed by government
experts, by economists, by Jobbers
and by retailers that before the pres
ent summer is over the price of gaso-
ling will be between forty and fifty
cents a gallon at retail prices. These
'sharps" see. or profess to see, rea-
sons why the price should increase
materially within the next few months.
They hang most of their theories or
the old "peg'-demand increasing
faster than the supply. The public
has become somewhat skeptical about
the law of supply and demand. 1t ap-
pears to the average citizen as ii a
change in the prices always rebound
to the advantage of the trusts and bus
mess concerns and never to the con-
sumner.
It will be recalled that some months
ago The Hustler carried a news story
to the effect that one of the depart
ments of the government had investi-
gated the causes for the sudden in
crease in the price of gasoline, and
had found that there was no sound
reason for it. Within a short time,
another department undertook an in
vestigation of the same field. Ac-
cording to the press story carried in
The Hustler, this second department
found that a short production of crude
oil and an increased demand at home
and abroad was causing a natural and
inevitable rise in prices. The public ]
is left to chose it's own conclusion in
the matter. |
A Wholesalers View.
A Charleston, S.. c., wholesaler, who
does a large business in gasoline, in
D conversation with a Hustler repre-
sentative had the following to say:
ct is scarcely possible that any de-
crease in prices will take place with
In the next year or two-if ever. While
a certain increase in price of gaso-
line was to be looked for, there is no
Justification for the present rise. In

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-

calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose a days work.

dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

cleansing you ever experienced just take
