CUT IN GASOLINE,
SENATE FORECAST
Crude Oil Reductions Seen by
Committee as Gauge
to Future.
SMALL PRODUCERS HIT
Stock Control by Larger Concerns
May Mean Disaster, Says
Report.

| The preliminary report on gasoline
prices. submitted to the Senate yes
terday by Senator McNary. acting
factures, forecast a further reduction.
| The Senate committee based it's pre-
; diction on the recent cut in the price
F.! of crude oil.
| At the same time the committee
| held that small oil producers and
| refinerS were getting the worst of
| it under the present organization of
| the industry because of violent price
! fluctuations which have followefcon-
itrol of large percentage of stocks
! by the larger companies. A continue
| tion of this system, the report said,
must spell disaster" to the small in
duce more than half the nations crude
oil.
Referring to current gasoline prices.
| the committee reported that an
analysis of the statements of wit
nesses would make it seem reason
|! the price of gasoline asa result of
cutting the price of crude from 81
to s125 a barrel" This expectation
was based, said the report. on ex-
plantations before the committee that
the recent decline of cents gallon
;vious cut in the price of crude. and
further, that many of the ref1ners
still were using stocks of crude
bought at prices higher than the
present quotations.
The preliminary report explained
that the full significance of the price
changes in crude oil as well as in
it's products is reserved for further
consideration" inasmuch as the COM
mittee has not completed its inquiry.

Be Sure

Before you lift your voice in song,
be sure that you can sing, or
neighbors, when you're going
strong, all kinds of bricks may
fling. For it is i'll to slay tune
with voice that doesn't track, re-
calling dogs that bay the moon
until the welkins crack. The fake
Carosos of this land much tribu-
lation bring, when, with their maps
ajar, they stand, imagining they
sing. When l was young I thought
my voice was like a seraph's lutte,
designed to make the world rejoice,
and bring me scads, to boot. And
when ! had the least excuse I'd
lubricate my gears, and turn a flood
of music loose to charm the peo-
pies ears. l chanted luscious lays
and sweet, of youth and love and
home, and eggs that long were OBJ
solete were broken on my dome.
And chunks of coal that bruised my
Stats from windows high were
thrown, and cauliflowers and crooks
and cats and broken slabs of stone.
And thus the truth, so CHASTITY raw,
at last in pain l grasped; my voice
was like a crosscut saw when it
is rudely rasped. From that day
forth l would not lift my voice in
golden song; to sing when one has
not the gift is villainously wrong.

than paid by the public schools.
Although only seventy teachers Will
be appointed within the next month

however, will only allow the appoint

carry out their proposed plans for

said. will not be sufficient to teach
