POINTED OUT BRIGHT SIDE
Optimist's Brave Effort to Convince
Afflicted Man That the Cloud Had
Silver Lining.

Mr.. Juergins had been suddenly af-
fiicted with a stiff neck. Not only
was it painful stiffness. but it
caused him to twist his head around
until he seemed to be trying to look be-
hind him over his left shoulder. and
his head was rigid in that pose.
''0f all the COMPOUNDED trials man
was ever subjected to-" he said. "this
is the limit. They say to look on
the bright side of our Affections. but
I'd like to know how l could make use
of this stiff neck"

prevailing prices paid by the refining
companies for crude oil. Having
increased its own production to the
maximum Of its abilities, this Com
pany sees no other course to increase
the supply than to stimplate the eff
forts Of Others by offering a higher
price for their product
Your Honorable Commission noted
that we made no statement in connec-
ton with our price advance Of a need
for additional revenue. This is cor
rect. Considerations of profits did
not enter into our price advance. Our
action was designed simply and sole
" to protect the fuel oil and gaso-
line supply of this Coast and to slim.
ulate the production Of crude oil. In
furtherance Of this the Company is
currently declining export orders
which would return a, larger profit
than local sales.
We have gladly made this more
complete statement of the present
situation and hope that the facts pre-.
scented will make it clear to the public
why the course taken had to be pur-
sued if the fuel Oil supply of this
Coast is not to be wiped out.

In this connection ii may be noted
that the price Of gasoline has remain
cd practically constant as compared
to the increase in the cost Of other
commodities. In July 1919, the price
OF gasoline on this Coast was in
creased one cent per gallon. This
was the only advance that had been
made since December, 1916, except al,
increase OF half cent gallon, which
was ordered in 1918, by the Fuel Ad.
ministration, ITO absorb the general
freight increase throughout the coun.
try.
The Coinpany's recent increase of
the price which it would pay for fuel
oil at the well from $l.23 to SLAB per
barrel, with the resultant increase in
the price Of fuel oil from SLIGO to
$l.48 berrel was made in the hope
that an increase Of Csc barrel would
stimulate production and tend to re-
store the balance between supply and
demand The amount of the increase
was the result of the Company's best
judgment and experienc in the bust
ness. Past history has shown that
an increased price for crude oil will
reult in increased production, and
that All increase in price tends to
conserve the use of fuel and to check
the depletion of stocks. This is the
only known remedy. If these results
do not follow, then the situation in
respect to the fuel oil supply on the
Pacific Coast is serious indeed. And
it may be added that even at the
resent prices. California fuel oil will
leave the Pacific Coast in Competitor
with other markets, unless the out.
side demand is checked by changed
conditions.
In the hope that the situation
would correct itself, the Company for
some months deferred the action
which it has now taken.
In the lastt analysis, this Company
is only one factor in the situation.
1t is the aggregate production OF
some six hundred producers in Cali
fornia which alone can amelioriate the
condition. This company has strain
ed every effort to increase its produc-
ton for the purpose meeting the
shrtage in the supply. This it has
done by intensive drilling. which kept
the production of its own properties
at their existing level, and by the
purchase and development OF addi-
tional properties through, which it
had increased its production. But as
against this, many operators i'll Cali

II is matter Of regret that the
great area Of productive lands which
has been held mitigation for SO many
years i'll tho Midway Field, was not
opened to development and subjected
to intesive operation. The Committee
OF the State Cuncil of Defnese, in the
report which has already been referred
to, suggested, at its primary recon-
mendation, all increase iii production
III the State, and the development OF
the land in litigation. Efforts were
made to come to All understanding
with the Federal Administration on
this subject. and the oil companies
even went so far as to offer to drill
the lands in question without profit
for the sake of meeting the emergen'
cy created by the oil shortage AS
is we'll known, neither the recon.
mcndation Of the Petroleum Com
mittec of the State Council of De
tense, nor the subsequent efforts to
develop the litigated lands under
agreement with the Government were
accepted by the Federal Government
The fact reaimins that large body
of productive lands were allowed to
remain idle, and to suffer great deteri
Grafton during time of great neces-
sity for oil and the refined products
of petroleum.
We understand that the Commits
sions primary interest is in relation to
the price of fuel oil for public utilities.
The public is also interested in the
price OF gasoline.
Gasoline must be kept at price
level where it will not be shipped to
other markets in quantities sufficient
to deplete the California market. For
example, at he present time gasoline
is selling in New York at 281zc a gal.
Ion wholesale. Previous to the recent
advance here it was selling here at
1910 per gallon wholesale, a differ
ence of nine cents per gallon. The
rail rate to New York is 7c a. gallon,
and water rate not to exceed DC. OBJ
viously unless proper differential
price and Eastern prices. Pacific
Coast gasoline will be shipped east
BY wholesalers, jobbers and others
and sold at profit to the complete
demoralizing of the local market.
That the gasoline market is short
may be Illustrated by the fast that
this Company, to supply the require,
mentS OF its trade. several months
ago purchased about $4,000 coo gal
Ions of gasoline in the midcontincnt

titles that the company's production

sarily be lesscncd about 80 per cent,

The period following the Fuel Ad-
ministration advance OF 1913 showed
that the depletion of California stocks
was checked. For the first time in
pl,rec years the supply exceeded the
demand, due to a diminished demand
and stimulated production.
The Company has not been eager
to advance its prices Tor crude oil
This is shown by the fact that its
competitors for three years have paid
higher prices Tor. refinable crudes
than those offered by the Company.

paid as high as 40c per barrel in ex-
cess OF the prices offered by this
Company for rcfinablc crudcs. and
while the prices paid by the Company
Tor rciinabic crudes advanced from
time to time, the prices asked BY the
company for fuel oil remained con,
slant at SLIGO barrel (. o. b. Rich
mond. until the recent increase.
In the face OF the increased costs,
this company has maintained its price
Of 81 90 for the fuel oil without change
for the past two years. The devcl-
opments of the first two months Of
this year finally convinced the Com.
pany that some stimulus should be
provided to increase production and
some action taken which wound lead
to conservation OF crude oil and
It's products.
In its effort to promote conserya-
ton OF the products of petroleum, this
Company sells no crude oil for fuel
oil: it sells only the residum result
ing from tic distillation and cracking
of crude oil.
1t is unfortunate, -ot course. t',at
