Two Chicago Youths Helped Cleveland
Pal Get $50, 200 Haul.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Police and de-
tectives today were seeking to locate
two Chicago youths alleged to be in
voIved, together with a Cleveland
youth. in the theft of $4,000 in bonds
which. were being sent to Toledo from
a Cleveland bank.
Postoffice Inspector Cyrus NJ. Zirn-
norman, Detective John T. Shibley
private detectives and the Cleveland
youth assisted the Chicago officials in
tracing the bonds and other alleged
robbers here.
The names of the young men were
not disclosed by either city's authori-
ties. They said arrests were imminent,
but that unless the two are found,
they will formally list the Cleveland
youth on charge of robbery and re-
turn them to Cleveland.
Police officials said that recently a
package containing the bonds was
opened by one of the Chicago thieves
and the Cleveland youth. The bon Is
were taken and the package resealed
and mailed to Toledo.
When the bonds were discovered to
be missing, the Cleveland youth was
arrested. He made a confession and
named the other two.

THE Federal Trade Commission in
report to Congress ascribes strong
demand as primary cause of recent
advances in price of gasoline and
other petroleum products, rather
than to any combination in restraint
of trade" (Bost0m NeaUS Bureau,
June 3rd, 1920.
Gasoline prices will go down as soon
as gasoline supply exceeds demand.
Only two ways are known to increase
gasoline supply. First, increase the
production of crude petroleum; sec
ond, to increase the yield Of gasoline
from the crude petroleum obtainable.
Recognizing the latter as the more
practical method, the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has discovered,
through extensive research, a way
to definitely increase the yield of
gasoline from crude oil.
In its laboratories, modern to the last detail
of equipment, chemists, engineers and ex-
perienced rehners are working continually
to this end.
1t was one of these men who discovered the
process which has largely increased the yield
of gasoline obtainable from the, crude.
This, and other discoveries, together with the
economies of efficiency throughout all pro-
cesses of refining, have enabled the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) to exert marked
downward pressure on gasoline prices.
The Standard Oil Company undiana) strives
at all times to deal in fairness to all the people
within its territory, and today is operating its
business on as small a margin of profit as is
consistent with sound financing, and with
safety for its 1879 stockholders, of whom no
single investor owns as much as 10 percent of
the total stock.

THE REFERENDUMs.

Let US not forget In the coming
election that a referendum vote is to
u taken on the proposition to bond
tie state for s2s.ooo.ooo for the con
struction of a vehicular tunnel I'M
der the Hudson river and a bridge
across the Delaware river between
Camden and Philadelphia. 1t is ad-
mitted that more than twice that
amount of money will be needed to
complete these projects. Doubtless.
then, should the people approve this
bond issue this time, they will be
asked to approve still another at
some future date.
At the same time there Is also a
referendum at the coming election
on the question of q bond issue to
give the soldiers in the late war a
bonus totalling s12.ooo,oOo
In the meantime. the State High
way Commission Is about to ask the
legislature to offer a referendum for
issuing bonds to the amount of $1s,-
600, 900 to put the bridges In the
state highway system In fit condi-
ton.
AS for the tunnel, the work has
already been started on 1t as far as
New York is concerned. New Jersey
Is committed to the project by an act
Of the legislature. It remains only to
decide how New Jersey is to finance
her share of the construction cost.
Obviously the only way to raise the
money is through a bond issue or
a direct tax. The fact that such a
work is of a permanent nature. it is
only fair that future generations
should help bear the burden. This
could be done through a bond issue.
Prices are extremely high at pres
emit, however, and the market is fall
ing. BY waiting another year the
work. would hardly be delayed and
the taxpayers might be saved a
large amount of money.
That New Jersey will have to con-
struct her half Of the tunnel and
bridge there is no doubt although
Hudson and Camden counties will be
the main beneficiaries. 1t is a grave
question, however. whether we want
to commit the state to a heavy bond
issue which also includes a direct
state tax to start with, at this time.
