NO Monopoly
i'm Oil

Tam told that the Standard Oil Company has
practically all the refnerieS. Is this true? cor
respondent asks the Oil and Gas Journal
Reply is made in issue of June 49, as follows:
1T certainly is not In the first place when you
mention the Standard Oil Company you are
speaking of several companies which, since the
dissolution decree United States Supreme Court
of 1911 are as separate in their ownership and
control as any of the several thousand oil COM
panies which operate in the United States.
mo company bearing the name of Standard
including its subsidiary organizations has more
than II refneries in the United States. There
are several of the socaled Independent COM
panies which have from 5to 9 rehneries, Accord,
May l, there are STA refneries in the United
States of which 382 were operating on that date.
Of this number only 80 belong to the several
Standard Oil Companies and their subsidiary
organizations. Thus you see that approximately
only out of Is refineries belong to the Standard
Companies
The Standard Oil Companies loom much
larger in the public mind than is warranted by
the percentage of their refneries as compared
with all other oil companies
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has but
six refneries = Whiting Indiana; Sugar Creek,
Missouri; Wood River, Illinois, Casper Wyoming:
Greybul, Wyoming: and Laramie, Wyoming
The oil industry of today is of such vast proper
tons as almost to defy figures Perhaps that is
why it appeals so strongly to the imagination.
AS the oil industry is organized today, amonop-
oily in oil, whether crude or refined, is beyond
possibility. The industry is too enormous for
dictation by any company or any group of
companies 1t is too big and too varied for
Understandings. 1t is too big for anything but
the keenest sort of competition, and for the win
ming and holding of business through service.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is strictly
competitive organization of service That it IS
able to compete proftaby with other oil com
panies is due solely to its initiative in invention
of new methods and processes, and to its superior
organization for the refining and distribution of
oil products. In both of these capacities it is rem
derng an essential service to the thirty million
people ofthe Middle West in such way as to
have gained their respect, confidence and esteem.

The movement in Italy IS weak and
must become stronger If We are to make
any advance in Europe as whole. For
the great wine-growing countries are in
a sense the key to the European situation.
They consider that it would be an eco
nomic disaster were the other countries OF
Europe to introduce prohibition for, in the
present condition, they must export to
foreign countries their great surplus of
wine. And so long as there is no strong
temperance movement in their own coun-
try they will do their utmost to prevent
other nations from adopting prohibition.
That they have the power to do so has
been proved by their struggle with Nor
way and Iceland which have been Obliged
to capitulate. No doubt any other coun-
tries attempting temperance legislation
would encounter the same bitter and, in
the present state of things, successful op-
position.
Aggressive work in wine-growing coun-
tries is thus an urgent necessity on which
our victory in Europe is depending.

sor believes that careful examination will
convince anyone that prohibition does not
suffer in comparison with other laws in
this respect II prohibition laws were not
difficult to enforce, there would be no
strong reason for having such law-that
Is to say, if it were not difficult to enforce,
it would argue there is no strong desire
to drink liquor, and if there was no such
desire, it would hardly be necessary to
have law to prevent drinking.
The Professor believes that because
there are powerful motives leading to the
violation of the law and making its en-
forcement difficult, the very existence of
these motives is what makes the law
necessary in the first place, and in the Sec
ond place it makes it difficult to enforce.
DR.. Carver calls attention to the war
time figures, which show that something
over seven and third billion pounds of
food materials were used in the manufac-
ture of alcoholic beverages in the United
States during the year ended June 80,

CHICAGO'S LICENSE LAW VALID
Supreme Court of Illinois Sustains
Law Giving Mayor Power to
Revoke Soft Drink Licenses

The city of Chicago won a victory when
the Supreme Court of Illinois on October
10 denied the petition of Patrick Murphy
asking a rehearing on his case and held
that Chicago's license law is valid Muir
ply had been fined $500 for operating a
soft drink parlor without a municipal re-
tail beverage license for which the city
charges fee of $500 and the granting of
which is UP to the discretion of the mayor.
The decision will settle more than 1000
cases which have been piling up in the
municipal court. The police of Chicago
have been arresting proprietors ana will
continue to do so for failure to have city
license. The license cases developed
largely because of the campaign to close
cheating saloons. In many cases the pro-
prietors licenses were revoked and tbs
mayor denied any licenses for the pro-
prietors or persons involved in the re-
vocation orders.
1t was through the revolling of these Ii
censes that Mayor Dever closed hundreds
of so-called soft drink establishments
where Intoxicating liquor was being sold.
In order to do business in retail bever-
ages at all proprietors who have been un-
able to procure licenses have tried oper-
ating without them and the Murphy casa
was submitted as test of the city's au-
thority to license the soft drink business
and the validity of the ordinance author
izing the mayor to grant or revoke liz
censes at his discretion.

Such an eyentuality does not seem to
have been contemplated iii government
circles. There is an over production of
wine and in order to help the wine grower
various measures are resorted to, some of
them the reverse Of hygenic. For in
stance, some months ago it was decided
to offer premium to wine growers who
would transform their wine into whisky,
there being too much wine on the market.
And just before the Congress of Como,
the same Mussolini who so warmly ap-
proves of temperance work, ordered the
suppression of the wine tax, but as this
would entail loss of 500 million lire for
the treasury the taxes on coffee and sugar
have been substantially increased.
1t is pity that the better organization
of the temperance forces in Italy was not
discussed at Como. There are some
leagues against alcoholism in different
cities of northern Italy but each works
by itself without the necessary coopera-
ton of the others. The Anti-Alcohol
Federation of Italy which existed before
the war has disappeared and it seems inn
possible to bring it to life again.
However, it would be unjust to deny
that there is an element in Italy in favor
of the aggressive movement against drink
ing habits. A national bureau against al
coholism was founded two years ago by
Engineer Pastorello, an energetic worker
who won national fame as an arman
during the World War. 1t is almost
miraculous what this man, with the feeble
resources at his command, has been able
to accomplish in two years, working es-
pecially in the press and agitating public
opinion.
Another very interesting movement was

COMMON SENSE VIEW OF PROHIBITION
Harvard University Economist Declares Greatest Social
Experiment of Modern Times
Enforce There Would be Little

Thomas Nixon Carver, known nation
ally and internationally as an economist as
we'll as professor at Harvard University,
has written book citing the benefits of
prohibition. In speaking of his work,
Prof. Carver said to a representative of the
Christian Science Monitor:
Of course prohibition is hard to en-
force! II it weren't hard to enforce,
there would be no reason for prohibi-
ton. 1t is the very extent of the
craving and the fact that general in
diligence of this craving units men
for functioning in an interlocking CIV
ilization chat makes prohibition i'm
portant. 1t is the greatest social ex-
pertinent in modern times. The ma
tons that refuse to take this step for
ward in the economy of human re-
sourccs-whether they themselves I'M
derstand it or not-are definitely
choosing to occupy a secondary posi-
ton in the civilized world.
Three principal points which will be
widely debated are made by Prof Car
yer. First, he asserts that the response
bility to enforce prohibition rests with the
majority who voted for prohibition and
that the battle was only half won when
the Eighteenth Amendment was made
part of the Constitution. The second
point is that the difficulty of enforcement
is not an argument against prohibition
but for it, and the third is that the nation
that frees itself from the handicap of
alcohol-from the waste of food power
and the waste of man power, will event
ually dominate the civilization of the
world"
