California Petroleum.

The sharp run up in the common shares
of California Petroleum Company yes
terday appeared to be based partly upon
belated appreciation Of tho greatly I'M
proved conditions governing oil produc-
tion In California. The menace of over
production Of crude oil on the Pacific
coast seems to have been removed
during the last few months. when the
large refiners began to draw upon the
ample stores of California crude Go
offset the diminishing supply OF crude
oil from Mexico. Tho Standard OF Com
pany Of New jersey has placed several
large tankers IN the California service
and It Is expected that during 1923 large
quantities Of California crude will be
brought almost daily through the
Panama Canal to fcfiners on the Gulf
OF Mexico and at North Atlantic points.

GOVERNOR URGED TO SAVE PUBLIC

ThOmas's speech at the conclusion.
Some OF Mr., Thomas statements were:

As'to the need Of any precedent, II
Is well established in recent cases that
when a business becomes so clothed
with public use that 1t affects the
public, a legal precedent Is not nee
essary. and I cited the famous deci-
sion in the case Of Mum VS.. Illinois:
property does become clothed with n
public interest when used in man
ner to make it OF public consequence
and affect the community at large
When, therefore, one devotes his
property to use in which the public
has an interest, he, in effect, grants
to the public an interest in that use,
and must submit to be controlled by
the public for the common EuUu. to
the extent of the interest he has thus
created He may withdraw his grant
10y discontinuing the use, but so long
as he maintains the use he must sub
init to the control. Neither is 1t n
matter OF any moment that no prece-
dent can I've found for u statute pre-
cisely like this"

- would like to say that one Of

1t would become dangerous TO the

capable OF an expansion beyond the
limits Of such n hearing as this.

statement

One Of the most profound disCOursCs
was that Of Augustus Thomas, the
dean of the dramatsts, who dwClt on

and on the theatre as an institution IN
which the interest of the public was
of paramount importance. The Gov

Mr. Thomas stated:
THE chances are that with
widcncd viewpoint as TO the puhlics
needs in the case and the consd"ra-
tions presented to-day. his decision
might be different"
Mr.. Mcbride also urged the Cover
nor to sign the bill He stated that
the 50-ccnt clause, about which there
seemed TO be so much ContrOycrSN, ",
provided a fair margin for any broker
and his concern had never charged
more than 80 cents.
He said that he was anxious thai
the prevalent public opinion as to the
gross charges on theatre uchrts
should be changed and would be by
this bill: that under the present con
llitions, where SO many spectators
charge more than he does. the COM
| garrison was to his ADVANTAGE. but
that he was very glad to waive all
| such advantages for the prim, pun
pose of cleaning up the situation and
| give the public a greater confidence
| in the broker who wanted to charge
only n reasonable price and secure
a larger attendance at the theatres.
I pointed out the fact that the same
arguments advanced by the opposition
agninst the theatres being clothed
with a public use were advanced in
| the matters OF taxiCahs and the latest
housing decisions; that despite the ar
guments the right TO regulate the lat

by the courts; that il was true 1.-The

Prohibition Laws
for Iceland Are
Considered Joke
(By Associated Press)

Copenhagen, Nov. 2-Prohibition
in Iceland has gradually come to be a
mere sham, according to the Lord
Mayor Zimsen, OF Reykjavik, the
chief city of the island.
In an interview the Lord Mayor is
quoted as saying:
iceland is no longer a prohibition
country. Wines of 81 percent alcohol
may now be brought in. Although
the Spanish commercial treaty, which
provides for the importation of wines,
is unpopular with many people as
having killed prohibition, it is only
fair to mention that the prohibition
act worked satisfactorily only the first
two years. Afterwards smuggling
and home-brewing practically made
