Congress Before Recess.
BY JOHN CARSON.

WASHINGTON, d. C, Nav 25-
More than one year after the re-
publicans came into control OF con-
gress and within a few days OF the
proposed June recess. the house
ways and means committee entered
upon consideration OF amendments
10 the revenue acts
The amendments which Il is now
proposed the committee will drop
into The basket and endeavor TO
get through the house before the
recess are rather minor IN character.

dent and the treasury for simplif-

under the income tax. These recon-
mendations were brushed aside with
the statement that there were not

congress 70 consider them. No ex-

IN the last Is months.

Democratic leaders insist now
there is no intention 20 even pass
the minor amendments proposed by
the committee. They say that the
only purpose or the republicans IS
TO pass some OF the amendments IN
the house and make a show OF do

somewhat similar TO that debating

On January /; 1913, tn. Standard OIL Company
(Indisns) was paying $I.+4 per barrel for crude
delivered at the refinery Whiting. Ind, and
was selling gasoline for 1+1z per gallon.
On December 81, 1919, the price Of crude bad
advanced 10 1851 per barrel, { o. b. Whiting,
and the selling price Of gasoline to zie gallon
In other words this Company is paying two and
one-hah times much for crude oil as Il in

It will be seen from the above tables
that gasoline stands at the end of the
list as regards price increase, and that
crude petroleum stands sixth from
the end, showing how effectually
refining efficiency has operated in
behalf of the motorist.
Every cost entering into the making
of gasoline has risen immensely.
The cost of crude, the cost of REIN
ing, and the cost of marketing are
all greater than ever before.
The Standard Oh Company Qndiana)
by superior efficiency In every pro
cess of refining and distributing has
contributed in no small degree to
hold the price of gasoline down to its
present level. Every man in the
manufacturing end of the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana) is keenly
alive TO the pressing necessity for an
increased output of gasoline at a
minimum manufacturing cost.
The ideal toward which the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) is striving, is
to put Red Crown, a gasoline of
known, standard quality, within the
reach of motorists everywhere In the
Middle West, at price so low as to
make possible the free use of that Is
percent increase in automotive
vehicles which is anticipated for 1920.
