Officials Consider Rationing Plan for
All ststss-Daiiy Production Is
100000 Gallons Below Con-
sumption.

Washington.-Gas will cost
more than 40 cents gallon through
out the United States by September
10, officials here believe, unless refin-
ers succeed in persuading joyriders to
curtail consumption.
Officials are studying tentative
proposal OF big refiners TO cut down
consumption through an informal sys-
TEN Of ratioDing to apply TO all 4S
states. The system would be applied
entirely to refiners and be without
government authority, though it is
thought it will have the moral backing
of government officials.
Under the system as now outlined
big refiners would agree to limit to
certain amount their sales to each
state. Dealers inside the state then
would be compelled to adopt some in
formal plan of rationing gas among
their customers.
Approximately 100000 owners OF
automobiles, power boats and aero
planes would be affected by the ra-
tioning system.
The gas situation now is more Sc
rious that is has been for months.
Consumption is reported as between
13,000,O00 and 14,000,000 gallons daily.
Production. however, is running APP
proximately 100000 gallons below
consumption. The difference repre-
sents the amount by which the reserve
supplies are being drawn off Re
serves now are reported as lower than
at this time last year, despite the fact
that at the beginning of spring the
stores were the biggest in years.
Gas now Is selling at near 40 cents
in some parts of the country. Par
of California recently was totally
without it. except for a small supply
which was rstioned among doctors and
trucks carrying food and milk.

officials it is practically impossible
to further speed up refining, Produc-

mention few of the facts brought
out in the discussion of this subject
and add others that should be con-

dation.
The opponents and the proponents
OF the consolidation movement are
agreed in one thing, namely: that
the State ought to provide facilities
for the higher education of the thou
sands of boys and girls annually
graduated from the high schools.
The only difference between the two
groups of thinkers lies in the adop-
tion of the means to the common end.
The advocates of consolidation hold
that consolidated university will
best supply the needed facilities and
thus furnish higher education to a
larger number of the boys and girls.
While the opponents of consolidation
hold that separate institutions will
attract larger percentage of stu
dents and thus educate larger num-
ber. The experience of other states
is Of interest at this point:
