Gasoline Price To Rise
Due To Federal Control
Babson Believes Oil Industry in Favored Position; NRA
Code Limits Production; Oil Securities Attractive;
Exhaustion of Reserves no Boge

supervision Of all fields 1 feel sure
the oil industry should be the most
lfavorably affected by the NRA.
Because of the way oil lies in the
ground, conditions in this industry
are unique. Nature economic avs,
such as supply and demand do no;
work effectively. Oil is a natural
resource whose reserves, while plenti-
full today, are limited. Yet once the
well is drilled and oil starts flowing
the cost of production is small. This
makes it especially difficult to avoid
overprUduction for many oil men
seem to think OF. is like water-it can
go on flowing forever. Proration
agreements among producers have
hard times these agreements quickly
become scraps of paper.
Industry In Chaos Since 1881
Since 1881 the situation has been
this: Certain producers, needing ad-
ditional ready cash produced more
than the amount ALLOTTED to them
other producers quickly followed suit.
Demand for petroleum cont tir1ually
decreased and the price level soon
crumbled. The big companies-strong
enough financially to do so-cut price
so drastically that renegade producers
could no longer compete. The in
dustry temporarily Stabilized in the
fall of 1882; but this past spring pro-
duction again ran wild bringing on
another useless price-war and unne-
cesSary waStage of oil reserves. This
is unfair 20 our children and grand
children for they are entit led to these
resources as much as we.
During this hectic period millions
more barrels o oil were produced than
were necessary. The resultant Decline
in the price of crude oil from pre-de-
presSion levels was terrific. In 1882
crude Oil was quoted as low as 10
cents barrel and last May at less
than 25 cents This was decline of
89 per cent against 80 per cent in all
commodities Refined petroleum pro-
ducts such as gasoline, reflected the
crude oil drop. AutomobiliSts did not
realize this because while the price
of gasoline was dropping, the tax
was jumping. On the retail price OF
18 cents per gallon in 1881, 3 cents was
tax while OH the retail price of 18
cents on January 1, 1888 5 IL cents
was tax.
NRA Code Limits Production
AT prices which prevailed for
crude oil in the last two years, earn
ings of producing companies suffer-
ed severely. Some concerns were at
times losing as much as IS cents per
barrel. Quotations on their securi-
ties, likewise went through the wiring
Henderson daily dispatch., 1933-11-11

er. Since the 1929 highs, the average
price for a group of 20 leadiE. OIL
stocks has shown an 835 per cent
decline. Oil issues recovered sharp
ly from their March lows when it be
came evident that Stabilization would
follow adoption of an oil code under
the NRA. Since july oil stocks have
shown greater strength than the
Market as a whole, and today are
1913 per cent above their bear market
lows.
The new oil code is designed to
conserve our oil reserves This will
b edone in two ways First, a min
imMn price for crude oil will he fix
ed-somewhat above 81 per barrel
(Midcontinent basis This is the fig
ure which the government computes
as a fair production price. This fig
ure includes depletion of reserves, the
amortization of development costs and
depreciation of equipment. Second
production should b ecarefully kept
in line with consumer demand This
will not only stabilize the price struc
ture, but will prevent wastage When
oil wells are allowed to flow too rap
idly pressure is lost thus preventing
the recovery of millions of barrels of
oil. Already production has declin-
ed from 2,756,OO0 to 2358OO0 barrels
a day under the new proration plan.
Oil Securities Look Attractive
Under these new conditions what is
the immediate outlook for Oil COM
panies and their securities? During
the depression the progressive and
well-managed concerns have mprov-
ed their distribution systems and ex-
panded their markets. These com
panies are far more efficient today
than they were in 1929. Many small
companies will either be bought up
by the larger organizations or be
forced to merge to protect them
selves. Most important of all fair
minimum price dor crude Oil will.
solve most difficulties and will mean
better earnings for most companies.
Accordingly I feel that good oil Sc
curities today are in an attractive po-
sition.
Now what about the longer term
prospects for Oil and Oil companies?
From tmie to time dire predictions
are made to the effect that within
ten, fifteen Or twenty years AL tbs
oil reserves in the world will have
beer exhausted. I am not a geolo-
gist and dislike to render an opin-
ion on this point; but petroleum en-
gineers with excellent regulations
tell me that our grandchildren will
still be using gasoline refined from
crude Oil in ther automobiles. Toe
much reliance cannot be placed on
any of these estimates. New oil fields
may be found; likewise new means of
consumption may be mixed with al
cohol distilled from horn in order
to help the farmer.

Barbers' Tilt
Over Prices
kkS NRA

What price shave? What
price haircut?
These questions are serious
problems for the NRA. Thus far
200 BARRIERS codes have been re-
ceived here. but they represent
only a few of the nations 250,-
900 barber shops. And there is
no agreement among them on
fair prices for their services.
In small towns 35 cents seems
to be thought enough for a
haircut and Is cents for a
shave. In most cities rates of
so and Is cents apparently pre-
vail. But in California the
BARRIERS want IS cents for hair
cuts.
Just another problem for
General Johnson to solve.

ing to Washington, required $50 pounds
of liquid makeup and the services OF
10 makeup men for 3 hours in order
to transform that number of Hollywood
extras into wild men and women Of the
jungle.
In this scene from Columbia's
Wheeler-W -Woolsey comedy. which delivers
satiric dig at all Tarzan and animal
films. the Amazons are about to devour
Wheeler and Woolsey to the accom-
paniment Of much lovemaking. when
the Tarzans march into the inclosure
and save them from sad fate.
Eddie Cline, the director, and the
casting director at Columbia, spent
three weeks securing the extra ranks
to find girls tall enough and robust
enough to qualify as Amazons. They
all had to be at least S feet 10 inches
tall. The men for the Tarzan roles
had to weigh at least ITS pounds and
carry an Amazon on their backs and
run through the jungle with them.
The makeup men applying the dark
liquid to their bodies which transformed
their appearance so their own mothers
wouldn't have recognized them, used
huge whitewash brushes for their
painting, and still it took three hours.

from the wave Of court room scenes in

The term is apt, for the Numbers
are that carefully selected group Of
extra players who can humble the best

who make the background noise that
causes the judge to rap for order.
