TO SOLVE THE
hot OIL" PROBLEM

Recently a group OF seven
sober-faced men sat down at a
table in the little town of Kill
gore, Texas. Three were mem
bers OF the Federal Tenders
Board. Three belonged to the
State Tenders Board. The
seventh represented the Texas
Railroad Commission which,
among other Jobs, regulates the
states vast oil industry.
The seven men came together
because one of the country s
most difficult industrial prob
lens had reached a crucial point.
The problem was that of hot
oil"-and it was boiling more
merrily than at any time in the
past.
The hot OIL problem is,
Dame Natures's creation. West
Texas possesses some Of the
greatest oil fields in the world.
There seems to be an inexhaus-
tible supply Of the stuff that
greases and propels the machin-
cry of the country. That looks
like q very happy situation
but there's a big fly in the oint-
ment. II Texas and other states
were permitted to produce all
the oil they can, the national
market would be glutted and
sur6ted with petroleum in no
time-and the price would drop
to the vanishing point.
The group which met in Kill
gore talked-then acted. The
states share Of the work will
lie in determining what oil IS le-
gal, what isn't. Then the Fed
eral government will step in, US
ing its constitutional power over
all interstate commerce. Fed
eral agents will stop hot OIL
at the border, refuse to let it be
shipped into other territories.
1t is said the "hot oil" men
are really worried now-if this
state-federal effort succeeds, it
is obvious that a very profitable
racket will be nipped in the bud.
while at this writing. the gaso
line war is still raging, it looks
as if it won't be long before all
is again quiet on the petroleum
front.

NATIONAL SUPER
HIGHWAY PROPOSED

w. G.. Robson Of Atlantic
City, president OF the National
Super Highway Association Of
fers the following reasons why
such highway should be built:
l. Because the present high
ways are inadequate, dangerous
and destructive to human life.
and valuable property.
2. Because this prosperity
creating public work would give
abundant buying-power wages
at once TO all American workers.
5. Because this life protect
ing, commerce-developing, self
liquidating, time-saving, rev.
enue producing. public necessity
can be built without a dollar OF
interest payment, tax-collection
budget increase, or credit-im-
pairment.
Speaking in detail, he said the
super-highway should be located
by competent engineers only,
through the open country,
avoiding the towns an cities.
Robson added: Then the
through-express traffic would not
be slowed down by local restric-
tions. The streets would not
be congested and rendered dan
gerous by swiftly moving vehic-
les.
1t should be built fromMaine
to California, through the Sou
thern, Central and Northern
states An appropriate number
of cross lines should be built
from border to border. Bran
ches should be extended in every
state in the Union. 1t would
probably require $4,000 miles
to complete the system

NEXT TO ADVERTISING
MATTER" IS REQUESTED

There used to be a favorite
phrase of advertisers. They
asked TO have their advertise
ments placed next to reading
matter" in the belief that such
q position would assure more
attention. But today the editor
might ell ask to have his news
items placed next to advertis-
ing matter" for very definitely
the advertisements have a tre-
mendous reader following.
Today's advertisements win
eager attention because they
help people buy intelligently,
quickly. without waste of time,
and get full value for the money
spent.
That is the great function of
advertising, to guide you swift
ly and surely to wise economi-
cal buying. The best advertise
ment is always one that gives
you the facts you want, simply
honestly, without exaggeration.

WELL, WELL!

Anyone who has been aroun J
with newspaper men knows
that they are a sentimental
bunch. They don't exactly
break down and cry over press

certain subjects will produce
the starry-eyed effect in which
facts are banished and bum
combe prevails. One Of the
surest Of all subjects, if broach-

newspaper. Give them a coun-

LETTER WINNING lST
Prize IN RESOURCE
EDITION CONTEST

Marked by brevity, sincerity
and clarity OF expression, the
winning entry in the recently
conducted Arizona Resource
Edition letter contest OF the
Arizona Republic and Phoenix
Gazette, is typical of the inter-
est which the big edition arous-
ed in the minds of thousands of
readers outside the state and of
the new impression which it
gave them of Arizona.
This entry was submitted in
the contest by Miss Irene
Whalen of Coolidge. 1t was
written to her by a friend, ]. d
Craydon of Union City, Mich.
Craydon's letter was selected
for first prize by a committee
composed of William s. Stone,
member of the faculty of Phoe-
nix Union high school, w. NJ.
McGovcrn, secretary of the
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce
and R. o. Lewis, president of
the Phoenix Hiram Club.
1t follows, with personal mat
ter deleted:
We had planned for a while
on a trip to Arizona but mat
ters over which we had very
little control put an end to our
plans. / think it was the Re-
source Edition and your enthus-
iasm which famed the fires of
our desire into a new wander
lust for Arizona.
ut brought to us the glam-
our, the romance, the majesty
of the West. From its glow
ing pages, we already feel well
acquainted with Superstition
mountain and its legends of lost
mines; with cliff dwellers of an
age long past and old. old mis-
sions mellowed by the centuries.
"We were particularly inter-
ested in the colorful word pic
lures of the Grand Canyon and
Painted Desert, knowing that
you were there just a short time
ago. In many ways we were
surprised by the progress of
modern Arizona, which we of
the East are only too prone to
think of as barren desert with
cowtowns as crude and unde-
veloped as in the old frontier
days.
THAT illusion is now dispell-
ed for quite evidently, Arizona
has a very definite place in the
sunshine of modern growth and
development. 1t was nice OF
you to send the paper with its
important array Of stamps, and
although at present the actual
trip is an impossibility, we have
made many a dream trip thru
the pages and at some future
time, perhaps the skyline of
Phoenix with It's modern sky
scra pers, the ancient Indian
ruins and the sweeping majesty
of Arizona mountains will all
appear as old friends"

VARIED VIEWS
ON POTATO BILL
Produce Merchant says Grow
ers Do Not Realize What
Is Ahead of Them
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL

"At least we have until next year
to think about it," was generally
how potato growers and potato
vendors had to say about the ''po-
tato control bill passed by Con-
gress. THE public doesn't know
what it's in for" one produce mer-
chant of Wilmington said. Just
wait until they find out they must
buy potatoes in packages as re-
quired by the government and
stamped" Some potato growers
didn't understand the potato con-
troll bill, while others declined to
make any comment. Under the
provisions of the bill, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture will decree
each spring how many bushels of
potatoes shall be raised in the
United States and how many each
grower shall raise. Also under the
bill, a farmer who has not in the
past grown potatoes for sale, will
not be permitted under the law to
raise any in the future The quotas
are attached to the land and not
to the farmer. Hence, if he moves
from a large quota potato farm, to
a small quota potato farm. he
must grow potatos accordingly,
small quota Lovers of the "spud"
or "apple of the earth" as the
French put it, will be surprised
when they buy their new potatoes
next year or Florida potatoes after
December to see that they are
packed and stamped according to
Federal regulations and maybe
have to pay higher prices. 1t
would also be against the law for
consumer to purchase bootleg"
potatoes. For knowingly buying
potatoes not stamped according to
Federal regulation, the fine is to be
not more than $1,000. A second
offense may bring another such
fine and a Jail sentence for not
more than one year"
