Back in the quiet, pre-war days
in the fiscal year 1901, fo- in
stance-the United States possessed
an army OF 1853 men. It's shores
were guarded by 143 ships Of war.
Some 59,567 sailors and mas nes
manned these ships and protected
American interests abroad.
Now, 20 years later, and 13 years
after the close of "war to end
wars" the United States supports
an army of 190,910 officers and men
excluding the Philippine Scouts.
There are approximately 281 Ameri-
can ships of war-almost twice as
many as in 1911-and about 110,-
GOO sailors and marines are on the
Navy's roster.
Increase Rapid
This increase n armed force has
been moro rapid than the growth
of population. In 1910 the United
States had a population Of 91,972,-
266 and requ red 134,205 soldiers,
sailors and marines-or one to each
636 persons. Last year the pOpula-
ton had risen to 122, TITS, ,046 persons.
An aggregate military and naval
force of 24O,910-or one fighting
man to each 511 civilians was
deemed necessary.
The United States has not been
alone in increas 'ng its army and
navy. Virtually every important ma
ton in Europe-save those that
were defeated its soldiers
and armament above the pre-War
level. President Hoover eStimtes
that the world is spending $5,O00,-
100000 each year for armed de-
fense.

City May HoUe
Neu Power Plant

Nogales may have municipal
electric light, power and gas plant,
it became known this week.
Sentiment for such plant is
growing here Ga ly, according to a
statement made this week to the
Nogales International by a very
prominent local business man, who
said, that if such plant is built
the cost will be borne by a bond
issue
Future steps in the movement for
the plant depends largely it is un-
derstood, as to whether the re-
duct-on in rates OF the Public Util-
tiles Consolidated Corporation
which, it is sad, will be ordered
shortly by the Arizona Corporation
Commission, proves satisfactory to
Nogales consumers.
G. R. Michaels, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, and City
Attorney James v. Robins, returned
yesterday from Phoenix where they
conferred with the Corporation
Commission in an effort to learn
when the proposed rate reduction
will be ordered.
They were informed by the COM
mission that the new rates VIII
be ready in about a week or ten
days and will be affective as of Oc-
tober 20.
A majority of Nogales citizens
are up in arms over the fact the
rate reduction has been delayed so
long. A hearing was held here in
July at which time NogalianG were
led to believe the rates would be
reduced several weeks ago.

Il is our opinion that this Is
a BUYERS market but that Il
win not long remain a buyer
market. The oil industry is head
ed toward an early revival and
quick prosperity, in the vanguard
Of other business. A sellers
market is at hand. Royalty invset-
ments made at this time, under
these circumstances, should mean
an early realization Of profit and
should result in greater profit on
the investment than has been
possible before in the history Of
the oil industry.

This entire picture is important
to the royalty investor because
he must follow the major indus
try in determining his own meth
DDS: when to buy and when to
sell Is this a buyers market
or is il a sellers markets The
prices of royalties go up and
down with the price Of crude. A
royalty that will earn 10 per cent
per annum on 10 cent crude
win Of necessity pay 100 per cent
per annum on 81 crude. If an
investor can buy royalties under
present conditions, with full
knowledge that prices are going
up and not down, he can certainly
make money. But il is up to
the individual to determine from
good, old-fashioned reasoning
what to expect.

The proration rules Of the oil
producing states are being rapidly
knocked out. Independents who
have the alternative Of starving
or violating the proratiOn rules
are taking the latter course.
They argne that a farmer cannot
be pro-rated on his wheat crop,
even if the price of wheat goes
to 5 cents a bushel. There is no
legal method Of restricting other
lines Of industry, these producers
maintain, SO If they can find
market for their oil they can
and win operate their wells to
capacity And shat, in turn, Is
having an important bearing on
ending the grim struggle Of the
oil industry. The fact is that
whenever these flush fields are
opened mp, they quickly blow
their heads OFF and cease to be
a menace. Proration methods re-
suit in 3 greater recovery Of oil

With the exception Of Cut
Bank and Dry Creek, the royalty
investor can get the best Of roy
alties at virtually his own price
in any field in Montana. His
buying prices are based on the
ridiculous situation that has de-
veloped in East Texas. IL has
been stated that East Texas is
costing the oil industry east Of
California $615,OOO,O 900 a year,
because Of the fact that It has
dragged prices downward. But
the fact is that it is making pos
sible tremendous fortunes for
those who can discern that a
