Plain Speech
Will Serve

Quite as interesting is the
plan of some members of
Congress to end the Power
Trust investigation by the
Federal Trade Commission
by depriving it of the neces-
sary funds under the -pretext
of saving money to the peO-
pie. No one is deceived by
such transparent tactics;
everyone will assume that
the sole thought behind the
throttling process is to pro.
tect the power interests from
the investigation.
In these days plain speech
will serve, and the public is
entitled to it. There is none
too much confidence in the
power commission appointed
by the President; and the
action of Congress in de-
priving it Of funds to con-
tinue the investigation will
be generally, and just prop
erly, interpreted by the mass
of the people as in the in
terest of power.

The gradual fighting Of the
grip Of the great oil interests on
the state is being felt directly
by the public schools and the IN
stitutions Of higher education
throughout the state. Prior to the
time when these interests felt
themselves in absolute control,
and the independent operators
were sti1l a factor in the de-
velopment Of the oil industry
in the state, they gave generous
consideration to the states
oil. presumably because Of
the purposes to which the
revenue accrued by paying
premiums Of from twelve and
one-half cents up to ninety cents
per barrel over posted field prices
for the state-owned oil.
During the past two years,
the controlling oil companies,
feeling that the balance Of power
rested securely in their hands.
have not only arrogantly refused
to continue the payment Of any
premium to the state for its oil,
but they have been making the
state pay through the nose"
for storage for the oil it held
in hopes and anticipation Of an
Increase in the field prices.
Total Revenue Decreasing
Is result of the pressure Of
the greedy oil interests, the rev.
enue derived by the state during
the year ending June, 1881, from
all sources in connection with
the oil industry was reduced to
the lowest total received since
1925.
Storage Costs
In hopes Of an advance in
field prices for oil, the state,
prior to March. 1882, stored
considerable amounts OF oil with
the large operating companies.
At that time. knowing Of the rev.
enue which the state expected to
get, the state land board decided
to sell the oil on hand at field
prices in order to avoid the
overhead absorption Of renenue
by the payment Of storage.
Auditor Porter BaIks
When the negotiations for sale
were in progress. bill for
storage from the oil interests
amounting to $4,000 was present
ed to the state for payment.
Auditor George Porter fatty re-
fused to draw a warrant for this
sum against the school funds Of
the state, and the commissioner
OF lands finally was forced to
negotiate the completion OF the
sale BY permitting the on COM
panies to deduct the $1,000
from the sum paid BY them to
the state. This action by the
auditor. which should have re-
commended him for reelection
brought down on his head the
wrath Of the OH interests and It
is certain that their efforts con-
tributed to the defeat Of Mr..
Porter in the recent election.
Storage Costs Eliminated
Since that time the state land
board has avoided storage costs
in SO far as possible. The
state-owned Oh Is now being sold
at s1.O5 per barrel. giving the
state net OF approximately
sI.00 per barrel, an advance Of
10 cents over the 1ssO-s1 field
prices. Since the Oh Industry

der the absolute control Of the
great oil companies, a continual
ton OF low prices for crude and
exaggerated prices for refined
products win continue until the
people Of the state break the
power now in control.

Compass Needle Never

Ask the next dozen people you meet
where the compass needle points, and
some of them may reply that it indi-
Gates true north. Actually there are
very few places in which it does so.
The Magnetic pole, to which the nee
die points, Is some distance from the
North pole. In Great Britain the COM
pass needle shows a direction consid-
erably to the west of true north. Ev-
cry year the error will become little
less, until it is quite small. Then the
needle will begin to move westward
again, the error growing and growing
as the years pass. Columbus, Drake,
and other early users Of the magnetic
compass must have been sorely puz.

the first United States silver coins

Two years later the silver dime and
quarter appeared. From 1873 to 1887
a trade silver dollar for use In China
was struck off, and from 1851 to 1873
appeared silver three cent piece.
orlentals have developed a genuine
affection for silver. The metal is so
malleable that 1t can be easily worked
by artisans. 1t can be beaten to

Until 1893 Indians could exchange
silver for rupees at the Indian mint.
In prosperous years excess money Of
the peasants was used to purchase sill
yer which they fashioned into jewelry
for the feminine members Of their fam

jects were exchanged for rupees at the
mint to keep the wolf from the door.
Although the mint discontinued the
exchange the Indians affection for sill
