the little fellow Will be driven as
completely out of the oil business as
he was before he went into it.
The whole tendency of the Repub.
lican administration TO oppose a tariff
on oil is un-Republican and is un-
American. Protective tariff is not n
chosen set of commodities but should
cover crude oil as we'll as 1t overs
wool. or leather. or any other COM
modify.
Again the position OF the admins
tration against tariff on oil. TO put II
the other way around. is to place this
whole industry in the hands of a few
big interests. No other correct o n
clusion is possible.
Amy M who has make a study of
the future prospects OF oil is at all
alarmed about the opening of further
great fields in h United States and
Alaska To make an assertion to the
contrary. is mere ignorance of the
facts. so hat cry which is being made
by the anti-oil-tariff people is un.
tenabIe.
Anyone who has made a study OF
the possibilities OF oil production in
Mexico and South America appreciates
thai the influx of oil into the United
States may amount in the near future
to torrents of oil for two reasons:
First. because they are going to pro-
duce a great deal of oil. and because
Mexico and South America will not be
able for a half century to a century
to assimilate in their own idustries
and growths the oil which they will
produce. and it is the defied policy OF
the United States, not through legisln-
ton necessarily. nor through treaties
necessarily. but by understandings
through the department of state to get
the republics to the south OF US to
favor the United States with their oil
products and to favor operators from
the United States in the development
of their oil lands. This. in a way. is
all very fine, but who will be the
main ones to go into the southern re-
publics and develop that oil? Again
it will be the great combinations of
capital where the little fellows cannot
very we'll succeed-fn other words
take this from any angle o wish
the whole tendency OF the present Re.
publican administration is to throw
the oil game into the hands of a few
big interests.
