WHAT'S THE COMBINATION?

Harry Sinclair set out in the oil
when the great mid-continent oil field
was in its infancy as to production.
Among the independents he was a
pronounced success. He carried his
~interlocking companies to Wall Street,
where after a time of cooling his heels
in the outer offices of big business, he
was admitted and let in.
Now it appears he is well Within
so far in that some of his companies
are not without their federated inter
ests with the Standard Oil Company
of more ancient fame.
Sinclair was recently reported as
having come close to a corner on all
the available oil land in the world.
And among the available lands he was
fortunate enough to find ways and
means to lease the Federal oil lands
reserved for sources of naval supply.
Now Senator L%aFollette, who is just
as apt to be right as wrong, demands
a Federal investigation into naval oil
fields, and why these oil deposits are
subjected to being greatly depleted by
the Sinclair explorations.
What is an independent oil opera
tor? When does an independent be
come a combine and the benefactol
of special grants and privileges
These are questions that the "inde,
pendents" such as Sinclair once was,
are asking. Moreover, they want to
know if Harry Sinclair and his com

LET LASKER PINCH HIMSELF.

The breadth of vision of the Ameri
can farmer as reflected through the
American Farm Bureau, in connection
with the development of an American
Merchant Marine, is strangely at vari
ance with that of Chairman Lasker oil
the Shipping Board, who has exhibit
ed interest in the agricultural section
of the country more in words than in
action. Mr.. ]. B. Howard, president
of the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, has written to the Shipping
Board, approving government subsidy
for ships until our flag can be estab-
lished on the high seas, recognizing
that the development of Jul foreign
trade depends largely on u ability
to distribute American products in
American bottoms. What a striking
contrast to the %picayune policy of the
chairman of the Shipping Board-one
of Americas leading advertising men,
who scorned every means of contact
between the government and the sixty
odd millions of the people in country
America.
Lasker Is on record as admitting
that the American Merchant Marine
" can be a success unless it is
backed by the whole-hearted interest
of the people in rural America. When
hn tnnE hold Of thn ehfnnir,o maine
there was in hand-in fact, there had
already started-a spendidly %coneeiv-
ed plan of educational advertising
aimed ateteaehing the Americans resi-
dent In interior towns and villages
how closely their prosperity is related
to the water railroads that must carry
American goods to rdistant markets.
This, however, did not please the wor-
shipper of the Saturday Evening
Post" With a stroke of the pei.
Lasker swept the whole of country
America aside and began to pour
American money into the columns of
a number of the national weeklies and
the influential cities. The poor little
country publisher might go to the
devil, and his reader, if he wanted
facts relative to American shipping,
must get them from some source
other than his home town newspaper.
Lasker's move was announced as a
suspension and not a cancellation of
the plan, but experience shows this
was but a sop to still the tongues of
the men who, had they cared to do
so, might have made matters mighty
uncomfortable for the advertising
shipping expert.
The people in country America still
want to know what an American Mer-
chant Marine will mean to them, be-
of vast sums of money for ship sub
sidy they propose to have a voice In
the votes of their representatives.
Mr.. Lasker may conduct his advertis-
ing business with a Car like hand,
but when 1t comes to spending mil
lions of the public money, then he
will find that country America has
something to say. The despised little
country publishers represent the in
terest of their readers who form a ma.
jority of the American population, and
they propose to keep a sharp eye on
Mr.. Lasker's gymnastic exercises.

POPULAR MANDATE
Set Aside By Court in Favor
of Aliens

San Francisco-Thes state supreme
courts rejection of an anti-Japanese
land act, approved by the referendum
has increased the anti-Jap sentiment
in this state, if such thing is pos
sible.
Two years ago the people approved
a law prohibiting Japanese parents
from holding land as guardians of
their native-born children The su-
preme court now rules that the act is
class legislation. This was opposed
by Justice Lawlor, who said the plain
object of the act was to prevent an
evasion of the alien land law
The decision is a loophole for the
japanese to evade the alien land law
Editor Tveitmoe of Organized Labor,
published in this city, says ''it may
confidently be expected that the birth
rate of Japanese children in this state
will be alarmingly increased from now
on, considering the advantages to be
obtained by the propagating Japan
ese.
Eve realize that it may take years
before the other states in this union
agree to our way of thinking and
eventually compel the members of con-
gress to do the peoples bidding ex-
clude the Japanese.
This is not the first time the courts
have rendered decisions whereby the
will of majority of the people, ex-
pressed through the ballot box, upon
some state measure submitted for
their approval, has been declared in
valid or unconstitutional"

WAGE CUT
Heartily Favored BY Head
of Railway Executives

New York.-"I particularly favor
the reduction in wages" declared
Thomas De Witt Cuyler, chairman of
the association of railway executives
and one of the directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, in a
statement relative to the $4,000 900
wage cut with which the railroad labor
board reduced the already too low
standard of living of the 100000
maintenance-of-way employees and
their families.
The main business of the associa-
ton of railway executives since the
railroads went back to private opera
tion has been the reduction of wages
of the railroad workers, rejecting the
savings in wages in more dividends
and interest to the stockholders and
bondowners.
Cuyler's own road, the Pennsylvania,
has just passed out in the neighbor-
hood of $5,000,000 in its quarterly div
idend, and hopes that by wage cuts
they will be able to raise the quar-
terly dividend to $7,50O,00O.

"AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR IS
AMERICAN, PROGRESSIVE, PRACTICAL"
--GOMPERS

American workers know where they
want to go, and because they are will
ing to carve the road as they go out
of their experience.
If the American Federation of La
Dor was not progressive it could not
hold the allegiance of the American
workers; if it were not basically sound
in structure and in policy it could not
have withstood the violent attacks of
its bourbon enemies in the last two
years.
Our movement is ever going for
ward in the service of the workers,
with its ideals and its principles as
lofty as are to be found, but with
its day to day work patterned after
the needs of the hour and the condi-
tions of the struggle"

PROFITS UP

Chicago.-The Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad came through
1921 with a substantial addition to
surplus after paying cash dividends
larger than any other year since it's
organization with the exception of
1917. The stockholders divided up
spot cash dividends among them
selves amounting to $19,30O,000, COM
pared with $8,867 900 in 1920. The
net income for the year, after de-
Quoting charges and taxes, amount to
$25, 100000 1t will be recalled that
the railroad owners wage slashing
made it's deepest cut in 1921, the same
