DON'T WASTE GASOLINE

The popularity of the automobile,
the truck, and the tractor, has revo-
lutioned modern industry. If any
thing should happen to cut off the
supply of gasoline, the resulting in
convenience, loss and distress would
be as great as could be caused by a
general strike on the railways. Hence
the fear alone of a shortage is enough
to cause thinking people to give the
matter the greatest consideration.
Improved process Of craking the
molecules of crude oil have enabled
refiners very greatly to increase the
yield Of gasoline per unit Of crude
Had this improvement not taken
place. an acute condition would long
ago have overtaken the automobile
industry. The increasing use of gaso-
line has already run ahead Of the
supply. and measures must be taken
to cut of waste. Every gallon wasted
means that much potential power
evaporating without its doing a share
of the worlds work

A GREAT TASK COMPLETED

It Is not too much to say that T..
M. Vail did more than any other man
to make the United States united. He
gave it such system of wire nerves
as no other nation possesses. He
linked together town and country,
home and workshop. He fitted tele-
phony like garment around the
habits Of the people: and when at
last he sat in his office in New York
and talked through to San Francisco,
his stupendous lifework naturally
came to an end. Like Drake. he could
truly say: "And all that I said
would do, have DONE"
This is a typical example of results
of American initiative in developing
great enterprise for the benefit Of
all the people. The telephone is an
every day item in the American home
instead Of merely luxury for the
rich and official classes as in Europe
where the lines are government con
troled with resulting lack Of incen-
tive for development and service

BE VIGILANT

In the old days we had Vigilance
Committees" to keep order in town
and to keep bad men in their places.
Vigilance means watchfulness-
In business it is necessary to be
vigilant.
We must watch ourselves and our
business.
We must see that both are standard d
all the time, that we are progressing
toward the goal we have planned.
No opportunity for advancement
should escape us. We should create
ways to overcome any obstacles. We
should observe the mistakes Of others
and our own. and profit by them.
This is vigilance.
The more we develop ourselves
the bigger we build our business. the
more reason we have to be vigilant.
More than ever we have to be on our
guard against carelessness for we
have more at stake.
We never progress so far that we
cannot slip back if We do not watch
ourselves. And our business will
never grow to the point where it will
keep going ahead by itself
Don't spend time, money, effort
and brains in building and then waste
1t all In relaxation. Keep going.
Hold the advantage Of consistent ef-
fort. Keep on the alert.
Be vigilant.

BONUS BILL PASSED

That the soldiers bonus bill passed
by the House is a Republican gold
brick" is charged by Representative
Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, ranking
Democrat of the Ways and Means
committee which reported the bill.
Representative Rainey further al
legged that the Democrats were ex-
cluded from the committee during the
preparation of the bill and had been
permitted to have no part In It's franz
ing except as to certain features Of
the taxation sections.
When the bill was debated in the
House, the Republican rule presented
allowed only forty minutes discussion
and no amendment of any kind to be
offered Representative Rainey ask
ed unanimous consent for 30 minutes
debate on a side, then rs minutes and
finally 81 minutes. but Republican
objection each time prevented extend
ing the time even to one minute.
This is one Of the greatest taxa
ton bills in history" said Represen-
tative Rainey, "and I as the acting
ranking Democrat on the Ways and
Means committee. In the absence of
Representative Kitchin, was allotted
only two minutes to close the debate
on the bill. The debate has been a
farce in the House-a farce which
only Republicans and Republican
steering committees" are capable Of
staging.
"This is gold brick the Republi
can majority is handing the soldiers.
It is not our baby; it is yours. You
can not lay it on the Democratic door
step. We would have framed a diff
ferent bill and would have placed the
taxes on the war profiteers who grew
wealthy during the war, and not on
the consumer.
1.-THE Democrats have not helped
to make this bill. and yos know it,
except the section that taxes stock
dividends and We put that in. This is
a gold brick-and it will be passed
upon in the elections. You know the
Senate is not going to pass this bill );
that II is not going to become law.
''In order to keep them from leav-
ing this baby on our doorstep and to
show up the hypocrisy of the Repub-
hcan party, / ask every Democrat
who conscientiously can do so to vote
for this bill. You can not defend In
the approaching camuaign-that Job
belongs to the Republican party"
Representative Rainey said the bo-
mus legislation was not what the ex-
service men had asked for. He ana
1yxed the bill as follows
This is a service pension. Talk
about giving the soldiers a dollar and
a quarter for day or dollar and a
half day, as they have demanded.

You give those who accept the cash
option service pension, commencing
one year one month and two days
from this date Those who served the
longest in the war will get SIS cents

Over 100000 served less than 210
days. Deduct 60 days from that SER
vice, as this bill requires, and that
leaves $50 days. You give to these
men for two years and half. COM
mencing year from this day, Is cents

these men will get, il they accept the
cash option, commencing with July
