OIL INSPECTION
LAW UNDER FIRE

Indiana's oil inspection law IS
now before the United States Su-
premo Court for decision as TO its
constitutionality. IL landed there
the other day on appeal 10y several
of the large oil companies doing
business in the state, who unsuc-
cessfully attacked the validity OF
the act in the lower courts.
The case is Of interest to tho
state treasury The law puts
100000 a year into the states
strong box, as well as furnishing
soft jobs for thirty.two lynX.eyed
inspectors, who obtained their tech
nical training for oil inspection by
work at the polls.
Whatever the constitutional
status of the act. which is a mat.
ter for the august tribunal TO de-
termine. aside from tho small rev
enue it produces and the lame.
duck jobs it creates, the oil in
spection law is a valueless surviv-
al. A sort OF legal vermiform APP
pendiX.
Oil inspection was originally es-
tablished TO protect the consumer
against too explosive and too in
flammable kerosene. 10 prevent
the wicked renners from adulter-
ating kerosene with worthless 80
oline, which the rcfner found diNN
cult TO dispose Of
Perhaps in its day the inspec-
ton law saved many IIoosiers
from being blown to glory while
trimming the wicks Of their coal
oil lamps. That day is long past.

adulterating his product with gas.
oline. lie would be a flt subject
for an insanity inquest. Now he
tries 70 crowd everything but the
office cat into his gasoline. The
old oil inspection law has outlived
its economic usefulness.
As a revenue act It doesn't
justify its existence for the cost
of collection consumes twothlrds
OF the revenue It produces. Still
it is retained on the statute books
because it saves lives, political
lives.

MORE STATE
ROADS

With the approval of Governor
jackson, the State highway COM
mission will take over and add to
the State highway system Oil
miles Of new road. That will bring
the total mileage of the state sys-
tenn to more than 5000 miles.
Indiana is getting along with its
highway program. During 1926 i'll
the Hoosier commonwealth, State
and local authorities will spend on
roads $5S, 100000, it is estimated.
More than any other State, except
New York and Illinois.
Try S53,OO0,OO0 on your own
checkbook. 1t is a stately sum.
And yet. even with such large
annual expenditures, the job OF
road building in Indiana is only
well begun. OF the State system,
only a minor fraction il paved.
Most of the remainder is graveled,
good, bad or indifferent-depen
ing on humidity and the phase of
the sunspot cycle-with many
stretches that invoke anathemas
from motorists.
All must be permanently hard
surfaced before the State system
is completed. Then there are 4O,-
coo miles of the county and local
roads in the State, classed rs un-
improved, to be tackled. When
they are paved or surfaced with
material that is not here today and
gone tomorrow, our highway eys-
TEN will be finished. SO will the
taxpayers.
Nevertheless, Indiana is more
advanced than almost any other
State in good roads. Truly, road
building will be the most expensive
function of government in this
country for the next century or
two-unless the population takes
to the air.

DOWN WITH
THE HEDGES

The edict has gone forth from
the board of county commissioners
that property owners along Marion
County highways must remove
hedges and other Instructions that
obscure the view at intersections
of crossroads.
The edict is in the interest Of
highway safety and in accordance
with the laW--Which frowUs on
such Instructions and stipulaics
that hedges so located must be
trimmed to within five feet uf
the road level.
Doubtless, actively enforced, the
order will prevent some traffic
accidents. Motorists approaching
crossings, where it is impossible
to see "a vehicle coming down the
intersecting road. with distressing
frequency cross the River Styx in
stead Of the intersection noted on
highway maps.

hedge may mean the difference
between the pursuit Of happiness
and the leading role i'm a funeral

But even removal Of all obstruc-

drivers will step on 'er" to beat

NOM. HONESTLY

No matter how old you really are
how old do you feel?
1t all depends on whether you've
got a hold on age, or age has
hold on you.
AS long as you keep spirit alive, it
will have the same effect on you.
And the liver you are. the younger.
Youth spreads the spirit that age
needs. The young carry on-Where
the old leave off.
Sounds logical then, to figure that
a man may mingle with his kids and
stave off that age effect just that
much longer

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
An Important Distinction.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

We now come in our discussion OF
a balance sheet to a distinction oe-
tween two classes of accounts apply
ing equally to assets and liabilities. III
the reader will take up any balance
sheet at random and examine the
asset side, he will find 1t naturally
falls into two divisions. one composed
Of property of various kinds in Whicn
money is invested more or less per-
manently and the other composed OF
items which are either cash or in
the regular course Of business will be
turned into cash in a comparatively
short time. Similarly on the liability
side there are besides the stock repre-
senting the owners interest and the
surplus long-term debts such as m.et-
cages, secured or unsecured, on the
one hand and on the other obligations
which must be liquidated at regular
and short intervals.
Generally these two divisions are
separated in the balance sheet for the
convenience Of the analyst, but not
always. The terms used to distin-
guish between the long time and the
fixed liabilities for the one and cur
rent assets and current liabilities for
the other. 1t is not always easy to
decide in just which division every
item belongs, but in the main the two
are SO different in character that they
may be readily separated.
For instance. current assets lnclude
cash, marketable securities, meaning
stocks and bonds which may be turned
into cash on short notice, accounts
receivable which in the ordinary
course of business are paid off regu-
larly, and inventories, meaning goods
manufactured and ready for sale
which it is reasonable to expect will
be turned into cash eventually. Cur
rent liabilities include notes payable.
meaning money borrowed from the
bank for short periods; accounts pay
able, meaning the routine expenses In
Cured in doing business and certain
other items, among them taxes due,
interest accrued on bonds but not yet
due, and sometimes the amount OF
dividends declared but not yet paid.
The amount by which the total of
the current assets exceeds the current
liabilities is called the working cap
ital. The larger this excess the
stronger the financial position Of the
corporation concerned. At least. that
is the general rule. Every analysis
Of a balance sheet begins with an ex-
animation of the ratio between the
current assets and the current liabili-
ties.
