REINSTATEMENT INEVITABLE

There was nothing for the board OF
commissioners to do but to recognize
that these officers had not exceeded the
spirit of their general instructions nor
the interpretations of the law s prac-
tically indicated to them by their SUI
periors, and that in view of these facts
developed at the hearing l moved that
the inquiry instigated by the commits
sion be dismissed and the suspension
of the officers be recalled and the Of
ficers reinstated in their duties.
There was no instruction given for
the future, as this is a question for
debate, as it is a hard problem to es-
tablish a procedure that will enforce
the law and get the necessary results.

building and keeping up the best road system in the
United States Which is just what Arizona is doing.
And while doing SO may be disposed to COM

THE FUTURE OF OIL.

A NATIONALLY prominent oil man says: "Ihe
II fear of possible over-expansion of the oil IN

United States produced 341 100000 barrels of OIL but
this was 100000 barrels short of consumption,
which had to be imported from Mexico.
eliminating the,war increase and taking the
ten years preceding the war we find that the aver
age annual increase in consumption, if continued,
will in eight years require every oil refinery in the
United States to double it's capacity.
"The ten-year pre-war increase occurred before
the airplane and the submarine began using large
quantities; before conversions from coal to oil as
fuel for ships became frequent, and while the auto
mobile industry was just getting into it's stride. In
ensuing years the demand from these sources for
oil will increase tremendously. The possibilities in
use of oil as vessel fuel alone can be appreciated
from the fact that three 500Oton cargo boats burn
ing oil can do the work of four same size vessels
using coal, and at less expense per boat
Is it any wonder that far-seeing men arc striv-
ing for national policy and legislation encour ging
