GONE fifteen years ago, the United
- States Rubber Company foresaw
the need for ensuring its oWn ade-
q,4ate supply of crude rubber.
The Company realized that in
order to live up to its leadership, it
could no longer rely on the usual
market grades for its crude rubber
supply. Soft started its own rubber
plantations.
One hundred and seventy-two
square miles acknowledgement,
rich and fertile almost beyond belief,
were bought in Sumatra and on the
Malay Peninsula. The climate moist,
but with rainfall evenly distributed.
Protected from the winds, and with
a temperature that never falls below
20 degrees F.
Today on these 172 square miles
of rich tropical soil there are 5,OoO,-
600 rubber trees-"pedigreed stock"
each HeVea Braziliensis, grown
in the plantation nurseries from
carefully selected stock.

~U. S." Plantations Fifteen
Years Old

These plantations have now been
in bearing for more than ten years.
Qt takes five years from the time Of
planting before the tree is tapped
for latex. From then on the yield
increases year by year,
This ownership and control en-
ables the Company to obtain from
its own properties a constantly in
creasing supply Of crude rubber.
And what is even more important,
to obtain rubber Of uniform quality,
especially adapted to its own re.
quirements.

The Messape Of Radio.

David Sarnoff, Vice President
and General Manager of the Radio
Corporation Of America SAYS: "No
electrical development of our time,
or at any time, has been more rapid
in its scientific advance and its
commercial growth than Radio Z"
This new art is already engaging
the worlds thought, and has opened
up vast new vistas of electrical and
social progress"
He conveniently catalogs Radio
under three general heads; Marine
communication with its huge net
work of ship-to-ship and ship-to-
shore service and what it means
to the safety of present-day ocean
travel; Trans-oceanic communica-
ton, the new international facility

America instead of abroad as Of
former days; and Broadcasting,
which brings into our very homes the
great thoughts Of the nations
leaders. music and other forms Of
entertainment
He prophesied that in the very
near future it would be possible for
any person in the country to pick
up his ordinary land line telephone
and ask for connection with a
passenger liner on the Atlantic or
Pacific ocean, with as great ease as
accompanies an ordinary call be-
tween two houses today.

Solution of the coal storage pro-
blem, involving principally remedy
for the existing situation in which
the mines produce only part of the
year and railway transportation is
then burdened while during the non
operating season the carriers have
plenty of cars, is sought through a
nationwide study being conducted
by the Federated American En-
gineering societies in cooperation
with the Federal coal commission
and the department of commerce.
st. Paul is one of the principal
centers of inquiry The St. Paul
committee, of which G. H. Hutchin-
son, chief engineer of the North
western Fuel company is chairman
and H. S. Morton, his chief aid, is
vice chairman is completing its re-
port for submission to the engineer
ing societies headquarters at Wash
ington, before Aug. 10.
The engineering societies engaged
in the study have a national mem
bership of more than 100000 and
the research work is being done
through 1917 committees of engineer
ing experts Other members of the
st. Paul committee are H. L. Brink
of the American Hoist & Derrick
company; Ernest Marshall of the
Great Northern railway; Meyer
Barnert of the Northern State
Power company; Foster Hanaford of
Noyes Brothers & Cutler and Allen

company. Max Toltz, prominent
St. Paul engineer, is member Of
the national council directing the in
quiry.
Facts regarding consumption and
storage, storage cost, losses through
spontaneous combustion and degra-
dation are being sought in the effort
to determine how to distribute the
coal uniformly through the year as
close as possible to the consumers

studied to disclose specific problems

Americanism In Tariffs.

When one attempts to discuss the
tariff question, he Immediately lays
himself open to the charge of
arguing partisan politics. The
tariff question is q business pro
position and not a political issue.
Wage and working conditions are the
biggest biggest factors in establish
ing the price Of practically all com
modities. A publisher knows from
experience that if he pays union
wages and works on an eight-hour
day he has to get a certain price for
his advertising which twenty years
ago would have been considered out
rageously high, and yet the present
wage which he pays and prices
which he charges for his advertising
are reflections of increases all
along the line in every commodity. If
a foreign newspaper produced with
labor paid from one-half 70 one-third
Of what TIE American publisher pays
and working much longer hours,
could be shipped in here at half the
price for advertising and subscrip-
ton rates. it would leave the Amer
can publisher in a bad fix unless the
advantages the foreigner thus had
were equalized by some form Of tax
assessed against him when he en-
tered this field. Many industries
find themselves in just such a posi-
eion as the publisher would be under
such conditions.
The result has been the tariff

COMINGS ON PROGRESSIVE
PLATFORM OF 1920
Lieutenant Governor Saws That He
Will Not Run on Platform
Sponsored by Blaine

Madison-Lieut Gov. George F..
Comings has announced that he will
run for the governorship on the pro-
gressive platform of 1920 rather
than that of 1922, because the plat
form of 1922 was vague and indefi-
Mite"
Probably the lamentable failure
of the last legislature to enact fun
damental constructive laws was due
to the fact that little or nothing spe-
cific was promised in the platform
of 1922" Mr. COmings said. Per
formances, deeds, actions, always lag
far behind programs and platform
promises" said one of the progress
sive senators little time before adj
journment I'VE have kept our plat
form pledges" and then added, I'VE
didn't promise very much" The
1929 platform was a mass of glitter
ing generalihes.
THE 1922 platform declared for
an equalization of federal and state
taxes upon the principle that those
who are best able to pay, bear the
heaviest b urden. But probably all
of the stalwarts will agree to such a
statement as this.
Taxation is the greatest problem
of the day Two principles are strug-
ling for supremacy,m The old world
rule of privilege and the new world
idea of justice. Shall we cling to the
ancient systems of taxation, or shall
we extend and perfect the American
plan of taxation.
"The 1920 platform was much
more definite. 1t declared for ex-
emptions under the income tax law
to be increased in proportion to the
increase in the cost of living, and
the Farmer Labor platform of 1920
declared specifically fora higher rate
of taxation on large incomes and
the increase of exemptions from
$500 to $4,000 for single persons,
and from $1,000 to $4,000 for mar
ried persons.
The 1922 progressive platform
was silent as to taxation calculated
to force into use idle lands held for
speculative purposes. The Farmer
Labor platform declared for such
taxation and had the Grimstad bill
been passed, farm taxes for all the
working farmers of the state would
have been greatly reduced, and the
amount transferred from earned to
unearned income"
He adds that the 1922 platform
said nothing about exemption of inn
provements on property, while the
1920 platform did. He cited the
same difference in platforms on
collective ownership and public own
ership of railroads and industries,
the eight-hour day and other ques-
tions.
"If society is to move forward to
goal of justice and right relation
ships, as it must or decay, it can only
be done by steps taken in collective
ownership Of the utilities that all are
dependent upon and an administra-
ton of them on a basis of service,
Service is the slogan of the new or
der
"The platform of 1920 was pro
gressive and constructive. That Of
1922 was retrogressive and vague
shall stand for the progressive and
constructive one"

The American people must learn TO

They must know the facts in regard

realize that business principles in
stead of political log-rolling should
