Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-09

If the Government is going to need
thirty-four million barrels of oil year
it would need a great deal more if it
ran it's mercantile fleet as it should
wouldn't it pay the Government to do
it's own hauling from Mexico?
1t could get oil down there undoubt
edly for about thirty cents barrel
as it comes out of the ground 1t
could, if the powers that be would
permit it, extract the gasoline, sell it
to the public at fair price, which
would be about 10 cents gallon, and
use the residue, which would cost a
little less than nothing, after getting
fair price for the by-products, as
fuel for Government ships.
You realize what it would mean if
the farmers of the United States and
those that eat food produced by farm
ers could get gasoline that runs auto
mobiles and farm machinery for ten
cents gallon instead of twenty-siX;
if kerosen could be bought for eight
cents a gallon to run tractors? You
know what it would mean if oil fuel
were cheap, for cheap oil, gasoline,
and kerosene would mean cheap
power. And power is the dumb la
Dor that is the foundation stone of
wealth and prosperity.
This is not criticism of the gentle
men who have ably and intelligently
developed the nations petroleum sup
ply. They deal openly. The bids are
public; prices are known. Of the
hundred million citizens that have
criticised Standard Oil and other great
corporations, more than ninety-nine
millions would probably go into the
same kind Of business if they knew
how.
The question for the American peo-
pie to decide is whether or not they
are beginning to grow up, able and
old enough to supply themselves with
certain things and protect themselves
against certain prices if they don't
suit them.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-09

And when you read that the Gov
ernment can buy oil where it gushes
out of the ground at Tampico for
44A cents barrel, and pays $1.73 a
barrel for the same oil in Boston, you
wonder why the Government doesn't
use some of these boats it recently
built for hauling oil from Tampico to
Boston, instead of selling them as
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-09

Do not pass hastily by the fact that
the oil our nation needs for its battle
ships and business fleet comes from
Tampico in Mexico. American citizens
went down there years ago, some be-
longing to the Standard Oil crowd,
some to the Mexican Petroleum crowd
They did not get mere concessions,
that is, the right to do something
sometime. They bought the land, and
now the titles of American citizens
are good, and they own, largely the
Mexican oil lands.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-09

In that oil is control of the seas.
If we can spend billions to guarantee
Belgians their property rights against
Germany and restore to France ter
ritory to which she had a good title
forty years ago, can we not use a
little firm diplomacy to guarantee to
Americans title to their property IN
Mexico? 1t is a good title. France
got her title to Alsace and Lorraine
by CONQUEST under Louis XIV.
Americans got their title to Mexican
oil lands by PURCHASE. The title
ought to be good. 1t ought not to be
necessary for us as in the past to have
British ships rescue American citizens
from Mexican danger And it ought
not to be necessary for this country
to say again, ooh, very well, just you
think BEST" when Mexico warns
Americans to get out.-Cinc. Labor
Advocate.

ALL ABOUT OIL
How the Standard Oil Operates
and What Uncle Sam is Com
PEELED to Do in Order to Get
the Lowest Price.

Whoever does the bookkeeping,
pricing, and planning for the big
Standard Oil Company must have fre-
quent headaches to keep it all going.
Recently the Government announc-
ed that it wanted to buy thirty-four
million barrels of oil to be used this
coming year.
The Government wanted some oil
delivered in New York city. On that
the Standard Oil Company of New
York did not bid The Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey offered oil
to the Government in New York at
ninety-eight cents barrel, plus seven
cents for delivery.
In Boston, it was the Standard Oil
Company of New York that offered
oil to the Government at S1.73 a
barrel.
In Philadelphia the Atlantic Re-
fining Company, branch of Standard
Oil, bid $1.361a a barrel, plus de-
livery charges.
In Baltimore, the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey offered oil at
ninety-eight cents, and made the same
bid at Norfolk, Va.
Don't get dizzy. The Standard Oil
Company of Louisiana offered the
Government Oil at eighty cents a
barrel in New Orleans. And at Tam
pico, Mexico, the place whence all
this oil comes, the Standard Oil offer
ed to supply the Government at 4419
cents barrel. go.
The bids were made, after taking
from the oil, by superior scientific pro-
cess, the gasoline and various by-pro-
ducts. From a barrel containing
something over forty gallons Of oil
are taken about seven gallons of gaso-
line, which sells to the public at vary
ing prices. In one State where there
is fight on, it sells for eight cents
now. In New York it sells for
twenty-six cents. In New York the
company gets one dollar and eighty
two cents for the gasoline in a barrel
of oil, other sums for other by-pro-
ducts, and then sells the barrel of
residue, which retains it's full value
as ship fuel, and is safer at the in
teresting prices quoted.
When you read that the Govern
ment buys oil in New York for 90
cents barrel, and pays in Philadel-
phia, where the freight from Tam
pico is cheaper, $1.361a a barrel
FROM THE SAME COMPANY
it makes you realize how it happens
that Standard Oil stock is worth more
AFTER the trust was "busted up" by
the Government lawsuit than it was
before

ENy0IN new RATE
Kansas i'm Suit To Block Burle-
son Telegraph Order.
Action Late This Afternoon in
District Court Here.
SAY DIRECTOR EXCEEDS POWER
Hold New Schedules in Abey'
ance Until CJUrt Decides.
Increase OF 20 Per Cent Means
IyI-1 Money Here.

Thru the state public utilities COM
mission, Kansas this afternoon took
steps to block the enforcement of the
new telegraph rate schedule as posted
by Postmaster General BurlesOn, di-
rector general of wire service. suit
to enjUin the enforcement of the new
rates was filed late this afternoon in
the Shawnee county district court.
Under the action today the state
seeks to hold in allegiance the enforce
ment of increased telegraph rates I'M
til the United States supreme court
passes on the contention that the di-
rector general is not vested with power
to fix rates. This question is now be-
fore the court in a suit brought by the
state of Kansas some weeks ago to
set aside a BurlesOn order regarding
telephone rates. The district court is
asked to enjoin the attempt of the di-
rector general to put his rates in eff
feet April /, as announced in circu-
lar issued last week.
The new rates mean thousands of
dollars a month to Kansas telegraph
patrons. a flat increase of 20 per
cent in all rates is ordered. Day and
night letters would be computed as at
present, but charged for on the basis
OF the new rate schedule. An increase
lof 20 per cent is made in existing
night message rates.
Thirty-Six Cents New Minimum.
Under the basis rate system of 500
rates are now advanced to Sc rs. In
other words a ten word message
which formerly cost 80 cents, with
cents for each additional word is now
figured at So cents for ten words and

The former high rate of 1907 is now
