supply such need. The only thing
we can do is to limit civilian con-
sumption to actual needs so that there
may be no shortage of oil at the
front.
House Votes Fifty Dollars.
BY vote of 1872 to % the House
last week voted to increase the min
imum pay for enlisted personnel of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard to $50 per month as
against the committees proposal to
raise the pay to SAP per month. At
the same time the chamber voted to
increase the pay for the next lowest
grade of sailors and soldiers from
the present base pay of $50 to $54
per month. The measure finally
passed with but one dissenting vote.
While there was considerable poll
tics in the action taken by the House
I would say that it was in part due
to the exorbitant wages that are
being paid for regular and overtime
in many defense industries. If the
President vetoes the bill, and there
are many who believe that he will,
he will also have to do something
about the wage situation in war in
dustries or stand convicted of play
ing politics in one of the most critical
hours in the history of the Republic.
A Remarkable Appeal.
Charles Nicholson is the New
Deals head political publicity man.
A few days ago he issued a press
release which began with this re-
markable statement:
"You are worried about the gaso-
line and rubber shortages. You Won
der how you are going to get Junior
to school and get to your own job
when your tires are worn out. You
perhaps do not trace your troubles
to the circumstances that more than
20 years ago you voted for an isola-
zionist House of Representatives"
Mr.. Nicholson goes on and makes
an appeal for the election of Senate
and House that will blindly follow
the President. Mr.. Nicholson feels
we should have a Congress made up
of men and women who have prom
Used to object to nothing the admin
istration may do, even when they
think it is making a mistake;' who
have surrendered their intelligent
judgment to the leader in the White
House for the duration of the war.
Let's see about that: In the last
war newspaper criticism saved Great
Britain and her Allies from disas-
trous defeat.
It was the expose by Lord North
cliffe, in his London Times, of the
British governments inept failure to
provide proper munitions for it's
armies in France and Belgium that
led to the downfall of the incom-
petent Asquith cabinet and that put

MAY "a, 1910

Miss Augusta Paulsen and Mr..
Christen Henriksen, both of Askov,
were united in marriage at the Danish
Lutheran church in Askov at o'clock
Friday evening. Rev. Kr. Andersen
officiated. The young couple have
both grown to manhood and woman
hood in this community and are well
known, coming here with their par
ents about 10 years ago. The newly
WEEDS went to housekeeping immedi-
ately on the second floor of the large

a brother of the groom. The groom
recently purchased 40 acres of land
on his fathers farm where he will
build this summer.

fears cited some potent reasons. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Henderson there will
be reduction of "a per cent in con-
sumner goods during 1912 and at the
same time a so per cent increase in
wage earnings because of the shift
from civilian to war production. Mr..
Henderson stated that the amount
of food available for civilian use in
1912 will be down nine per cent.
During the current year the increase
in civilian wages will aggregate IA
thousand million dollars, every dollar
of which will create So price in
crease pressure. Conversely, for ev-
cry additional billion dollars we i'm
pose in taxes we will relieve the
pressure on initiation by two billions.
With wages steadily going upward
and creating new buying power and
the supply of consumer goods stead
lily declining the danger of infla-
ton is rapidly becoming some
thing to worry about. According
to the Treasury department we
have in taxation the most potent
weapon with which to fight infla-
ton. Greatly increased income taxes,
general sales tax, tax on wages,
salaries, dividends and other in
comes, to be collected at the source,
also compulsory savings to be in
vested in bonds, are some of the
measures that it is generally agreed
will prove the most effective. ~
Explains Gasoline Rationing.
While Mr.. Henderson was before
the Ways and Means committee I
took occasion to question him about
gasoline rationing and the effect that
it would have upon the tourist traf-
fic this summer. Mr.. Henderson
frankly stated that it was only a
question of short time before ma
tion-wide rationing would become
necessary because of heavy tanker
losses along the eastern coast.
There is no question but that the
nations oil situation is far from sat-
isfactory. Already, 80 or more large
tankers have been torpedoed and
sunk off the east coast which has
placed a severe strain on the rail-
roads and pipe lines. Today they
are delivering something like 700
thousand barrels daily in the eastern
area which may be increased to 900
thousand barrels by effecting GER
tain changes in pipe line routing.
Even if this is done there will still
be shortage of over 300 thousand
barrels per day based on minimum
demand estimated at one million 265
thousand barrels in this territory,
which would require As tankers run
ming on a 15-day round trip sched-
ule between Texas and Atlantic coast
ports. These tankers are not avail
able as they are required to carry
fuel to the widely scattered battle
fronts in all parts of the world. In
this connection it is interesting to
note that in 1888, the last year for
which complete figures are published,
our Army, Navy and Coast Guard
used IL ,536,845 barrels of oil products
and of this total 8A million barrels
was fuel for the Navy. Assuming
that our operations in Australia need
this amount, it would take about so
tankers operating all of the time to
