Standard Oil Pamphlet No. 4.


or up, you wonder why. Every now
and then you have observed change
in the price of gasoline. 1t has gone
down. or up. For the last three years
the chang there have been six of
them during this period-have all been
downward. No doubt you wonder why
the change, especially if the price goes
up. One day gallon of ''gas" costs a
certain number of cents-the next day
it is more, or less. Naturally you won
der why.
Perhaps you think that the President
of the Standard Oil Company simply
says to his colleagues of the Board of
Directors:
We'll. let's raise the price of gaso-
line this morning
Not so. No man. nor group of men,
no company, nor group of compan1es,
can control the price of gasoline.
nor of any other commodity in general
use.
This is what makes the price of ''gas"
go up and down: when there is plen-
tiful supply of gasoline, the price of
gasoline drops. When there is an in
sufficient supply of gasoline, the price
ascends. This IS not theory. 1t is fact.
1t is history, too, of gasoline and of
every commodity in the world as far
back as history goes. 1t is economic
law, unbreakable, inescapable.
The price of crude oil is the principal
factor. The value of crude fluctuates,
rises and falls, in strict accord with the
volume the earth yields, related, Of
course, to consumption by the public.
There are other factors-the cost of
producing and transporting oil, of man.
ufacturing and of marketing these
also vary with world conditions, again
obeying the immutable law of supply
and demand. Costs of materials, costs
of labor, go up and down; since the
Great War, mostly up, as all the world
knows.
Three~years ago the Pacific Coast un-
derwent painful experience, more
painful to a harassed oil industry than
to any one else. 1t is known as ''the
shortage" The supply of crude oil
proved insufficient to meet tremen-
dous demand. Prices ascended to high
levels.
The scene changed. High prices
were offered for crude Everyone
started to wildcat New fields of
oil were discovered More and more
ola flood. And the more it came the
less its worth. Prices of crude dropped
and dropped, and gasoline came tum-
bling after.
Here, then, is the proof of what we
say:
l92O-shortage-high prices
1923-over- production-low prices.
The unbeatable law at work
The price of gasoline was 60 per cent
higher in 1920 than it is today.

that with only a few amendments
made from the floor, 1t passed the
house. But the battle was yet to
come - the senate, which took the
house bill, adopted its title and
pinned a new bill under it, as an
amendment.
Then it was that the craftsmanship
of the Lincoln county man was mani
tested. The house appointed him
chairman OF the conference commit
tee, to meet with a like committee
from the senate. When these COM
mittees met, Mr.. Noblitt was made
chairman of the joint committee. and
then the deliberations began. For a
time 1t seemed as though the COM
mittee never could get together, but
at the end OF IL days conference,
they did, and to Mr.. Noblitt, the
chairman, may be given a great deal
of credit. This was the longest ses-
sion eve held between conference
committees Of the two legislative
bodies in the history of the state.
The law, as adopted, has worked
well, and is universally satisfactory.
This year, Of all years, a man of Mr..
Noblitt's type is needed to steer the
ship of state, SO far as the house of
representatives is concerned, off the

L.. Greene, of Vermont, in a protest
against the prevailing tendency to-
ward enervating ~paternalism. Greene
is an editor CT high standing in New
England Journalistic c%irclas, is a
public speaker of rare attainments,
and was recently elected to the
senate as a recognition of his salts
factory service for twelve years in
the House. His recent discussion of
the evils of paternalism was con-
tanned in a letter endorsing the pur-
poses of the S%entinels of the Re-
public an organization which takes
as its motto Every citizen a sentinel;
every home a sentry box In the
course of this letter, Mr.. Greene
said:
Civic liberty was born at the
~fireside, was reared and made strong
by experience in local self-govern-
ment, and forever renewed itself in
successive generations of men and
women who did not expect the ma

what they ought to do for them
selves at home. This American ex-
pertinent in civics was originally
meant to be a popular government,
deriving its Just powers from the
consent of the governed proceeding
from the countless hearthstones of
the lane to Washington, and not de-
scending from Washington upon the
hearthstones. The sturdy old idea
OF a sturdy generation was that that
was the best government that gov
erned least and still maintained n
healthy social order. Faithful to

America waxed and p~rospered for

NOBLTT NAMED IN
RACE FOR SPEAKER
Baker of kemmerer Puts Forward
Stalwart Son of linceln for
Presiding Officer
Republican,


1t is one of the rare cases of the
office seeking the man rather than
the man seeking the office, when
the speakership of the Wyoming
House of Representatives ome uI
for discussion, not only among mem
bers of the legislature, but among
laymen posted on the machinery OF
state government.
That man is J.. d. Noblitt of Coke,
vile, and wherever the matter OF
the speakership is discussed the con-
clusion reached in almost every in
stance is that Mr.. Noblitt is the man
for the place. So far, Mr.. Noblitt
has been mum whenever the subject
has been preached to him, but The
Republican secured an interview with
the Cokeville legislator last Friday
on an o. S. l.. train, while he was
en- route to Oklahoma.
A week from next Tuesday, the
18th Wyoming Assembly meets at
Cheyenne, for one of the most i'm
portant sessions in the history OF the
state, and n which may bring forth
a great deal OF friction. or work har-
mcniously-all due to the men who
take the lead and those who pre-
side.
No Selfish Interests
In response to the query, Are you
a candidate for the speakership,"
Mr.. Noblitt said: mo, not an active
one: l prefer to await hearing the
views of my colleagues on the sub
ject, discussing it with them, and
then, if it is their belief that I am
qualified, and they desire me for the
position, / am willing to submit my
name to the assembly; but If the pre-
yailing sentiment is for else,
! am perfectly willing to join with
them in naming the right man. l
shall have %uppermost in my mind at
ali times the best interests of legis-
lative procedure, and no personal
ambition hat l may or may not
have. will stand in the way of this"
Unsolicited Support
MIR. Noblitt has received many let
tiers from other members-elect, who
pledge. without solicitation, their
unqualified support to his candidacy
II he will become a candidate. To
each one he has written a letter in
line with the interview above.
There is no member OF the coming
assembly that has a better record in
the legislature than Mr.. Noblitt. This
Is his third term in the house, and
throughout he has beef among the
leaders in carefully planning bene-
ficial legislation. He has been a
member and the chairman OF most of
the important committees. where his
natural deliberative talent and ana
lytical mind have served the state
well.
But the outstanding event of his
career as a legislator was that of two
years go when, by his careful pilot
ing a satisfactory solution was found
when the division of the oil royalties
money between schools and roads
came before the assembly. There
were as many different opinions as
to this piece OF legislation. almost, as
there were members of the house and
senate. Mr.. Noblitt was chairman of
the road and bridge committee OF the
house. and everyone looked askance
at the important committee head.
feeling that II his committee came
through the deliberations he would
surely have proven his ability as a
statesman.
1t was with trepidation that the
committee began on this bill, but II
was reported back to the house so
