Henry Giessenbier jr, of this city.

address asserted increased production
and a reduction of the living cost could
be effected better if the business men

farmer.

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE ] HELD RESPONSIBLE
 FOR GAS SHORTAGE

ITO be intelligent it is not necessary to know anything" said a railroad traveller from southern California in his report to the Phoenix chamber of commerce on the gas situation. His motor car is en route by rail. In his pockets he had reports on gas issued by the Independent Marketers asso- citation and of the Standard Oil com pany of California. He termed these reports explanatory masterpieces Thousands of figures are contained in them, he explained and the independ- ent marketers trace the gas shortage to the climate.
 The approach of the climax, eli mate, is made through such a maze of figures as to cause a ghostly sensa- tion to creep up the spine, said critics after reviewing the reports.
 The gas victim said that Los Angeles was full of ghosts and that the reports had to be published in ghost language to gain circulation. He said that Carlyle said Dr. Johnson spent all his life poking about haunted houses looking for ghosts, while all the time he himself was a ghost.
 But" said the returned traveller,
 "Dr. Johnson was an intelligent man and therefore it did not make any difference whether he knew anything or not These gas reports are intelli- gent reports because all figures there in will total true. bear substraction, division and multiplication and still total true. That is intelligence. But if you can see anything in these re- ports that a person of flesh and blood can understand my car is yours upon arrival"
 His reference to ghosts and intelli- gence, the critics said, might be ques- toned but the chamber of commerce
 received from Los Angeles before his arrival on the scene the following:
 The Independent, after thousands
 of figures, traces the gas famine to climate Southern California draws almost a million motor vehicles to
 this region every year. and if it were not for the climate of southern Cali fornia this region could be supplied with gas as easily as that vast non | essential region from the east city l limits of Los Angeles to Chicago, New York, Boston, Washington and New 1 Orleans.
 Climate is considered omnipotent | in southern California and anything which is credited to climate is agree able to the hypnotized ears of the i populace. Nothing can start or stop without climate. The oil companies simply followed a precedent and l southern California will try to gulp 1 down the climax even if it chokes and
 dies in the attempt"
