After reading and dgesting the great of print ed matter concerning the question of oil conservation the entire situation appears to be epitomzed in desire the part of the larger oil to have federal government exercise authority force curaiment of production that the price to the may be boost ed In other words when at last the public became the beneficiary of keen competon these tremendous pow hope to thwart the principle of supply and demand by government action.
 Among the arguments advanced in support of gov ernment action is to the effect that Americas supply of oil is being depleted while Europe is conserving it's pools and buying American oi It does not to have occurred to anyone to place embargo sales to Eur opean nations But when is to tapping the Amer can consumers pocket there appears be compunc tion.
 It seems for once that Mr. Common people has ben efitted by of supply and demand
 As regards the depletion of Americas oil supply, one must not lose sight of the fact that there is suff clent oil shale in America to quadrupe the production of liquid oil at present Alaska alone contains one coal field capable of producing 10000000000 barrels of oil from the German process of liquidation of Ignite coal One might go ndeterminatey in compiling figures that there is no danger such is pointed.
 Briefly the oil situation is one where independents have matched wits with the great oil combinations and beaten them at their game. It is like the urchin losing tilt with his neighbor yes "Maww

A REAL TEST FOR
THE MANAGER PLAN

With the news that serious move
ments in both Philadelphia and Chi
cago have been launched for city
manager, the growth of this form
of government in the past few years
is worthy Of note, particularly IN
view of the fact that many cities
in the nation have adopted the plan,
Since 1912, the year of the inaugu-
ration Of the plan, 399 cities in the
United States have found that the
new type of organization has led the
way to increased service and reduced
costs in government operation.
In word, the city manager plan is
the business principle applied to. gov
eminent. In big business, board
of directors meets and determines
policy, and hires a manager to run It.
If the manager does poor job, he
gets fired. If he does good job, ne
remains in office Consequently his
whole motive is to make good rec
ord for himself.
The same thing is true in the case
of the city manager plan; the man
ager has nothing to do with politics
nothing to do with policy. His whole
! job is that of an expert administrator
whose aim is to make a good record
for himself, to which he can point as
a reason for holding his position, anc

CHEVROLET COMPANY BREAKS
ALL PRODUCTION RECORDS

DETR0IT, April S.-All monthly
production records in the history of
the Chevrolet Motor Company were
broken lin March, when the company
produced 147,274 cars and trucks. A
factory statement explained that this
figure was considerably in excess of
preliminary production schedules and
was made necessary to more fully ac-
commodate an increasing demand for
the new car Chevrolet SIX
This March record compares with
1861 units for March of last year
and with III, 249 for February Of
this year. 1t exceeded by nearly 1000
units the best previous month in the
history of the company, which was
May, 1923, when output totalled 140,-
IT'S units.
The March performance enabled
the company to exceed all records for
the first quarter of the year, with a
total of 354,701 units as compared
with 342, 1874 for the first three months
of 1928.
In preparation for what promises
to be the biggest Spring business on
record, the manufacturing division is
operating on the heaviest schedule
ever undertaken by the company
The company's sixteen giant factories
are speeding toward capacity opera
ton with all (ae haste Consistent
with precision manufacturing, it was
announced. Officials predict that the
record activity planned for April
will result in another monthly rec
ord and for the second consecutive
month establish a new mark.

The Short BalIot--A Political Spot
light.

There has been a lot of talk about
the short ballot within the past few
wears. There will be a lot more as
times goes on. And Lincoln county
folks. who have heard the phrase IN
the past, might we'll know exactly
what the term implies.
In brief, the short ballot principle
is as follows:
i. That only those offices should
be elective which are important
enough to attract and deserve pupiic
examination.
Q. That very few offices should be
filled by election at one time, 50 as
to permit adequate and uncontused
nublic examination Of the candidates,
and SO as to facilitate the free and IN
telligent making Of original tickets
by any voter for himself unaidea py
political specialists.
What happens when you-Mr- vol,
er--step into the polls in a general
election? You are handed huge pal
lot on which there are an almost IN
Vulnerable list of offices, but an ex-
tremely small choice OF candidates
per office. You find yourself IN the
position Of man who goes INTO a
fruit store and finds many different
varieties of fruit, but limited Sc
lection among the varieties; one or
two mushy bananas, a couple OF spot
ted aranges, a few wormy apples
soft grapefruit, a handful OF grimy
grapes.
What happens Embarrassed, you
point out choice, the best you can
find among the lot, and walk out
determined never to enter the store
again.
So, when you vote, you leave the
booth, disappointed and disguised
| The sacred privilege Of the ballot has
only meant that you have marked 3

REPORTS SHOW
PROSPERITY
AHEAD

The United States Chamber of
Commerce and the American
Railway Association have pre-
pared optimistic reports OF condi-
tionS for 1890.
Increase in foreign trade Of the
United States was pointed to as
one of the heartening signs in
the chamber report. According
to this survey, the foreign trade
for the first nine months of 1929
amounted to 1894 900, 900.
The report of the railway COM
mission showed that rails in gen.
eral enjoyed the most prosperous
II months in a decade and also
advanced a liberal general expan-
sion project for the coming year.
Loadings Heavy
The report of the railway COM
mission showed that freight car
loadings during the past IL
months were far in excess of any
other year except that Of 1926,
when phenomenal records were
set up.
It was declared in the chamber
report that the predominating
feature of the export trade was
the increased sale of manufac-
tured articles. 1t is declared that
finished goods now comprise more
than half of the overseas trade
and that they have exceeded the
1923 record in export.
A net operating income Of ap-
proximately $1,2S2, 100000 was
forecast by the railroad commits
sion's report. They based their
estimate on preliminary reports
which, according to r. H. Ash
ton, president Of the American
Railway Association reveals q
larger gain than ever experienced
during the past 10 years.
Domestic Gains
It was also pointed out in the
report Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce that the
internal business and commerce
of the country was on the up
grade and that it was expected
to be very good during the year
of 1880.
With the delivery of the two
reports it is thought that a great
deal of apprehension among the
general public regarding the sta
bility Of American business will
be dispelled and a new feeling
Of confidence reared in Its place.
