Crude Oil Estimate
Shows Slight Boost
as Compared to 1924

New York. The worlds pro-
duction of petroleum in 1926 is
calculated at 1,058, 100000 bar
rels, against ,O13, 100000 in 1924,
an increase of only ~ per cent,
by Valentin L. Doherty & Co.,
whose estimates of 1924 publish
ed last October, came remark
able close to the final official
figures. Increased production in
the United States was given as
the reason for the gain, while
outside this country the output
has been virtually stationary.
Venezuela's production doubled
that of 1924.

He DESER YES IT

Ostvig Norum was a pleasant
caller at the Review office the
fore part Of the week. Ostvig,
apparently seems to be getting
along first rate this year owing
to his royalty checks which are
coming in regularly.
Ostvig has eight producing
oil wells on his land, the Ohio
Oil company controlling six Of
them, and the income off of
these six wells nets ostvig about
eighteen hundred dollars month
Besides these six wells belonging
to the Ohio, the Glenrock Oil
company and Beckett Brothers
have two producing wells which
also add to the income Of Ostvig.
Mr.. Norum owns a half Sec
tioh of land 4s4 gnd 35 which
is claimed to be the choice of the
Kevin field, and even tho with
the weather conditions which
we are now experiencing, will
not affect Ostvig very much for
the nice little income that he is
receiving every month he can
move to a wamer climate any
time he desires. But we would
say that he is entitled to it, for
many a hard winter has he put
in on this acreage before oil was
discovered.

The KIND OF CAR

Many years ago the economists
discovered what they gravely
called the law of diminishing ut
ility. If one asks a professor of
economics what is meant, he will
tell you that it is founded on the
fact that the volume of human
satisfaction does not increase in
ratio to the increase in the salts
faction of the economic wants.
But it is easier and pleasanter
these fall days to watch the law
in operation. Almost anywhere
will do as a laboratory. Because
it is fall and folks are motoring,
let US take the country highway.
In which do you see the hap
piest faces the little cars or the
big? The people in the huge au-
tomobile whose motor is like the
purr of an indolent cat are enjoy
ing themselves, but they arn't
enjoying themselves ten times
more than the happy people in
the car costing one-tenth as
much. The law Of diminishing
utility says you cannot enjoy
yourself ten times as much by
having something ten times as
costly as your brother has.
The law of diminishing re-
turns, which isn't sentiment or
morals or religion, but just cold,
cold, science, should be a great
discourager of envy. Men and
women can hold just about so
much happiness. They soon
reach the saturation point. What
they add after that only adds to
the sense of sense Of self impor-
tance, which subtracts from hap
piness.
Happy faces in little cars, fac
es Nc happier in big cars, what
better proof of the law of dimin-
ishing utility?- Elk.

TAX OF
DEPOSIT ASKED
BY CONTINENTAL

Helena. In view of the refus-
al of the United States supreme
court to take jurisdiction in tie
case of the State of Montana a
gainst the Sunblrst Refining
company of Great Falls on az
peal from the Montana supreme
court, the Continental Oil con-
pany Tuesday made demand up
on State Treasurer w. E. Harm
on for the return Of the $10,527
deposited with the state treas
urer in lieu Of the 2-cent gasoline
tax for the first qnarter of 1926
under the old law, which had
been held unconstitutional hy
the Montana supreme court.
At the time this money was
remitted by the Continental to
the state treasurer, appeal to the
supreme court of the United
States was pending and the pay
ment was made under agree
ment that the money should be
held in trust, separate from the
other state funds, to be disposed
of subject to the decision of the
United States supreme court.
According to the attorney gen
eral there is now nothing to be
done other than to return the de-
posit to the Continental.
The amount represents money
collected by the Continental from
consumers of gasoline in Monta-
ma under the law imposing tax
of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline
sold during the first quarter of
1925. Accordingly the state high
ways, to which the tax was in
tended to go, loses this revenue.
Likewise, the gasoline consumers
who paid the tax originally lose
that amount unless the Continen-
tai contrives some way of refund
ing it to them.
Of the various principal distri-
butors operating in Montana dur
ing the first quarter of 1925 only
one. The Texas company, paid
its tax. The company turned into
the treasury $10,977 for the first
quarter of 1915 and did so with
out claiming any rights under
the decision of the supreme court
as to the unconstitutionality of
the law.

Hearing in February

Arguments to be submitted to

don Campbell, northern Montana
oil operator, from his conviction
in the Great Falls federal court.
on the charge that he made frau
dulent use of the mails in pro-

counsel for Campbell.
The case was at first set for
argument before the San Fran

but on petition of Mr.. Ford the
hearing was continued until the
February term. The delay was
caused by the immense size of
the transcript, which has not

considerable time will be requir-

Radio on the Farm

Uncle Sam has taken census
of the radio owners of the coun-
try and he finds that 9 per cent
of our farms boast radio sets.
He says 100000 farmers own sets
and that more than one-half of
the total is concentrated in six
states, mostly those lying in
what we know as the corn belt"
Illinois leads with $4,000 radio
sets on farms; New York is Sec
ond with $4,000; Iowa has SO, 900;
Missouri, 81 900; Kansas, $4,000;
and Nebraska $4,000. Today the
progressive and prosperous far
mer is in close touch with the
outside world through his radio
set, and he counts it blessing
and an investment instead of a
luxury. He farms better when
he knows what is going on a.
round him; he is in closer touch
with his country's problems, and
with weather and market con-
ditions. We hope to see the day
when the radio set will be found
in almost every farmhouse in the
country and we don't believe that
time is going to be so very far
off, either.

Bruce Advises States
Against Oil Marketing

Chicago. Practice Of some of
the midwest states of the deal
ing in gasoline and SELLING it at
lower than the market" price
was condemned Thursday night
by Andrew A. Bruce, professor
Of law at Northwestern univer-
sity. He spoke at the closing ses-
sion of the convention of the
American Oil Mems association.
He asserted that the cntry OF
a state into any business would
destroy legitimate enterprise and
be ruinous to the taxpayers.
Professor Bruce, former chief
Justice Of North Dakota, said
that from supreme court deci-
sions, states had the power to
enter into the oil business.
"But the entry of a state into
the oil or any other business can
not but be detrimental in the
long run to both the producer
and the consumer" :"

there, not being able to see, he
struck a match which ignited
the gas. The accident occurred

cording to reports. This com
pany's daily production is about
1900 barrels per day. So far they
have not had a dry hole on this

splendidly into many events. There

The movie version follows close

Why Doubt Creeps in

"NTREPID Republican orators thunder
forth heated denunciations of radicalism,
and would pursue the liberal and the doubter
to his home and Stay him. Any one who criti-
cises the present form of government is terri
BILE character, and should be made an outcast.
Are they themselves not responsible for
the wave of doubt and cynicism among the
electorate2 President Ben H. Thompson of
city council believes so.
How long would baseball fans attend
world series games if last years champions
were allowed to choose the umpires, regard
less of honesty, previous experience or char
acter
Suppose the Washington club had been
permitted to name Joe Jackson as the arbiter
of decisions during the recent encounter
Would the fans have remained quiet?
Yet Republican campaign managers ex-
pect citizens to stand for appointment of 225
Republican election inspectors and refuse to
adopt the fair course of permitting Democrats
to name half Of the men who decide the vote
counts in the Shady precincts
Ben Thompson was big enough to compre-
bend the danger of losing public confidence.
His professional Republican brethren can see
no farther than the noses on their faces
That why people are turning to the city
manager form Of government as a relief from
the banditry and crookedness Of the profess
sional politicians.
The distillers and brewers killed them
selves and paved the way for prohibition be-
cause of their abuse of power they had built
up. In like manner the Collins, Armitages,
Fuckers and persons Of similar political caliber
are slowly but surely killing the goose that
lays the golden egg.
Through their excuses, they have under
mined public confidence. Lincolns adage of
the inability to fool the public permanently is
as true in 1925 as it was seven decades ago.
indianapolis will adopt the city manager
form of government because the present sys-
TEN has failed.
If you don't believe it has failed, try to
get a square deal for Democratic candidate

first Monday in November.
