1T took the excessive war-induced
Capitalization of economic and in
duStrial functions in the hands of
government to dramatic the essential
fallacy of trying to substitute the poll
tician for men functonally fit for the
job in hand" Glenn Frank, Editor
Of Century Magazine, In the Politics
of Industry.
The clarity of Mr.. Franks reasoning
was demonstrated by the efficiency of
the petroleum industry during the
wartime period.
Petroleum was the one basic industry
which was left in the hands of men
trained "for the job in hand" and their
efficiency enabled the Allies to float to
victory on sea of oil.
The lessons learned during that period
of stress have enabled the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) to increase its
usefulness as manufacturer of petro-
leum products.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
has learned that minimum of political
interference with economic processes
is essential to this or any other highly
specialized industry that it may con-
tinue to improve the service il renders.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
believes that the government of any
business enterprise should come from
within the industry, and that this
government should be beneficial alike
to capital, labor, management and the
public.
The Standard Oil Company (Trldiana)
is organized upon a broad base 10 bring
about this desirable condition.
The Board of Directors, who are re-
sponsible to the stockholders for the
management of the Company's affairs,
acknowledge the social obligation
which the Company has assumed, and
which they interpret to mean the
efficient refining and distribution of
essential petroleum products of SD
perior quality; to make these products
available everywhere, and at prices
which put them within reach of all.
To accomplish this essential task, the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
continually broadened the base of its
operations, intrusting the administra-
ton of its complex and highly special
lied business to men of acknowledged
authority, ability and vision.

ACT ON RATE CASE TUESDAY
Kansas Railroads to Hold New Tariffs
In Abeyance.

After planning to inaugurates new
intrastate freight rates today, repre-
sentatives of Kansas railroads stated
they would hold the new tariffs in
allegiance pending action in Topeka
Tuesday by Judge Cottral. A restraint
ing order by the federal judge this
week prohibits discrimination il fixing
OF intrastate rates. Similar restric-
tions are claimed to have been made
by the interstate commerce commits
sion and do not disturb the new tar~
ifs, altho the railroads will not seek
to put the new rates in effect until
the restraining order is dissolved.
Granting of the restraining order
by Judge Cottral was heralded as a
big victory for the state public util-
tiles commission. Representative Of.
the freight departments of Kaensa s
roads laughed and declared the writ
did not alter the ruling of tho in ter-
state commerce commission. The

A Personal WORD.

The rumor is being assduousy circulated that
the editor Of the journal called upon Republican
State Chairman Craig and demanded sort of
patronage at the hands OF the republican Organiza-
tion. Such rumor is completely and ridiculously
false We mention it only because such rumor
tends TO dscredit sincerity and good faith in the
fight have been making in the public interest.
The journal is altogether certain that neither
Mr.. Craig, Mr.. Bursum Governor Mechem is re-
sponsibe for such rumor We have told all three
that there is request would make of them
and that there was no favor which we wished at
their hands.
We have tried to uphold the hands of Governor
Mechem in every effort for the public good We
have expressed the opinion that the logic of things
points to Mr. Bursum the inevitable successor to
Senator Fall in the senate We have tried to make the
republican leadership that the way to har-
monious party is through the bona fde redemption
of party pledges.
We invite Mr.. Craig any one else in the Or
ganizaton to come forward with a statement of the
time the place and the character of any request of
any kind whatever. We will give space to such a
statement.
Our personal relations with these men are not
hostile; in fact hope they kindly. We feel so
about it. We do not call upon them because credit
the runors to them We do it to keep the record
straight We have asked nothing but good faith to-
ward the public from any

SETTLEMENT OF HEART
BALM IS RECOGNIZED
AS PART OF INCOME
By The Associated Press.)

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. IS
Settlement of heart balm is Off
cially recognized as part of wom-
ans income by the United States
government. Money received by
Texas women in breach OF prom
Use suits must be included in in
come tax returns for 1920, accord
ing to a statement from the bureau
of internal revenue received here.
Payments of alimony, however,
are not taxable income: neither
may they deducted in the return
of the person paying it," the bu-
reau decided.
The bureaus official ruling re-
lating to breach Of promise suits
is as follows:
Damages in the form Of yearly
payments extending throughout
the life of the injured party, re-
covered through the compromise Of
a threatened suit for breach of
promise or marriage, are not re-
garded as a return of capital, since
the benefits of which the injured
party was deprived were merely
Anticipatory.
"A woman who has won a
breach of promise suit, or has ac-
cepted out of court a settlement as
heart balm, must include the
amount received in her income tax
return for the year 1920"

TIE BASIS OF TRADE.

When a drop in price level occurs, business men
divide themselves into two classes. First, those who
try to sell on the basis of what the goods them
Second, those who sell the basis of what it would
cost to replace the goods, The first class work
off part of their stuff at high prices but they will
lose a lot of trade. The second class stand heavy
losses But they make friends. They stand far bet
ter chance of working up big business at profit
the level
The decline in wholesale prices has been so
sharp that some dealers could off sud
denly without threatening their own solvency. Per-
haps such took the only possible course.
Albuquerque has plenty of dealers who followed
the second plan. They have been moving goods
rapidly in this trying period by enterprising adver-
Using, and ready with fresh stocks on
the present market level.

STANDING BACK OF LEGISLATORS.

The American people elect their congressman and
state legislators with I'll grand whoop. Then they are
confident that these far sighted statesmen are at
once going to put tho government a new foun-
dation of efficiency.
Then later when it appears that the men chosen
handicapped by ordinary limitations and the
great difficulties they confront, the people turn
around and curse them do-nothngs
The great majority of law makers are honest
men. They subjected to selfish influence, but
they never hear much from the great mass of the
people who merely desire community progress.
1t would help legislators if they heard more from
thinking people at home. Then they would have evil
dence to show the favor seekers and pull workers.
that public sentiment demands business government.
