Don't Mix Them

Mr.. Volstead, father of the Volstead
Act, is now turning his attention to
the oil and gas industries and propos-
ing constitutional amendment by
which Congress would assume control
of these lines of business.
1t is reported that when the next
Congress meets he will ask it to sub
nit to the separate states "Article
20" of the Constitution, which pro-
vides that Congress may regulate
production of and commerce in coal,
oil and gas from which interstate and
foreign commerce are supplied"
Just why such agitation should be
started it is hard to understand. Pri-
vate initiative in the oil industry has
given us the greatest supply of oil
today that we have ever had, in spite
Of record breaking demands.
Twenty years of political regulation
of our railroads has brought develop
ment to an absolute standstill and
every western state today feels the
effect of restricted railroad construc-
tion and the need for new lines to
open up new territory. There seems
to be absolutely no hope of getting
such development with policy of
regulation that fails to recognize the
risk attached to the business and the
necessity of encouraging rather than
discouraging, the investors in such
enterprises. If the same paralyzing
policy of repression had control OF
our oil industry what would have
happened to our motoring public
which has been doubling, trebling and
quadrupling it's demand for gasoline
fuel oils and lubricating oils during
the past few years? If Volstead regu
lation of the oil industry, for the
rbenefit of the people,, should be as
successful in curtaining. development
as has been our policy of national
regulation of the railroads. there
would be thousands Of us who would
not get gas for the weekend trip and
what we did get would be at prices
such as we have not dreamed Of to
day.
/ While the average family can get
along very well without liquor there
would be revolution if any law at
tempted to curtail or take away their
supply of gas.

Speaking of hard roads-there are
quite few stretches of what might
easily be termed as hard" roads in
more ways than one. For instance.
the short piece of road just this side
OF Uniontown is "hardboiled" af.
tair in every sense OF the word and
1t Is worth good deal to have to
travel over it. Most everybody that
has a Rolls-Ruff have to use sprrs.
But time was when THAI would have
been considered good" road, espec-
tally when the traveller was headed
this way after having spent few
hours in that thriving little village,
for in those days it was very easy to
get the necessary "shock absorber'' In
liquid form and it was easily applied
but now it is different and a fellow
feels every one of the shocks"
The missing link" has also been
piece of "hard'' road for the past
two or more months and it might be
easy to believe that some of the DOW.
ers-that-be in Whitman county have
been standing-in with the auto tire
men. This piece of road has been an
eye-sore and liver-pogger for years
and 1t doesn't seem to be getting any
better fast. 1t would probably have
been wise idea for the state Of
Idaho to have built the road up the
canyon-and they may do it yet

Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFFERNAN.
Copyright. 1929;

Wall Street, New York, Sept. 20.
The curb market today was un=
settled by the same causes as was
the stock market, namely the
abandonment of the Republic Mid
vale merger and the Turkish news.
Standard Oil shares retained their
place Of leadership and during the
early part of the session were bid
up despite the generally lower
prices in other sections of the mar
ket.
At one time Standard Oil of New
York was selling over Is points
above its previous high record.
But when the directors meeting
adjourned and announced that only
routine business had been trans
acted there was sharp reaction.
The street had looked for some
thing to be done regarding the
stock dividend, and was much dis
appointed when it was stated that
no consideration even had been
given to this matter.
Magnolia Petroleum, in which
Standard Oil Of New York is large
ly interested moved in sympathy
with the latter stock. Vacuum Oil
was bid up to a new high at the
start but later came down with the
rest of the group. Standard Oil OF
Indiana went through the same
fluctuations while Anglo-American
and International Petroleum were
fractionally lower.

Of the chief points brought out by
the critics as to the durability of
the injunction as a legal PROPOSE
ton is the contention that the acts
complained of by the department Of
justice are not federal but state
offenses and that conspiracy to
violate state laws is not sufficient
ground for federal injunctions. So
the chances are when the injunc-
ton is finally passed upon it will
furnish a test on the broad princi-
pies of-whether an act may be
ful-such as meeting or the TAX
ing of a strike vote-if such an act
results in the restraint of trade OF
the interruption of commerce. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Trainmen and Conductors,
who were not a party to the rail
strike, are up in arms about it.
They are gathering here the best
legal talent available to them to
fight the Injunction. They insist
as it stands now they cannot order
a strike and that it was never the
intent of congress to permit such
a prohibition to be derived from
the act of 1890 or subsequent
statutes.
Legislation Is Certain.
One thing is certain-if the
higher courts reverse the Daugh-
erty injunction, a movement will
begin for the enactment of legis-
lation just as drastic. The in
junction may be a bitter pill to
swallow and from the labor view
point may contain many injustices
but like all things that go to ex-
tremes, it is the result of a dis
turbed and to some extent embit-
tered public opinion which sees
two sides contending perennially
while the public suffers and pays
the bill. There is some regret
voiced here that the administration
did not see fit to inquire more
closely into the acts Of the rail-
road executives which in a broad
way have contributed causes of
dissatisfaction among the workers
and led indirectly. if not directly,
to the strikes. To retain public
confidence, some steps that will be
convincing of the governments
impartiality as between the fac
tons are again and again pointed
as inevitable. Naturally the
government is trying its hand and
experimenting and if the decree is
not broken down by legal action
higher up, unquestionably the same
method will be used to prevent
