WASHINGTON - Abandonment OF
plans for nationwide gasoline ration

tenants repeatedly gave the Ego

tigation Of the entire situation.
Leaders we're said to have agreed
to support proposal by Senator Ma
loney democrat. Connecticut, for a
nve-member special committee with a
5000 appropriation for an immediate
inquiry into shortages of gasoline and
fuel oil, as well as the methods being
employed to provide deliveries "for
ordinary consumer use"
While this investigation was expect
ed to deal primarily with conditions
IN the II eastern states now on short
fuel rations, several senators predict
ed the inquiry would have direct bear

to other sections.
There have been indications that

might depend largely on the success

STABILITY FOR The FUTURE

who don't fire guns and don't weld
plates but who keep industry in motion,
pay the taxes and furnish the funds
which support the first two armies
which are not only unable to pay taxes
but unable to support themselves. Ali
of their production goes into munitions
of war and creates no new wealth.
The third army" has no reward of
heroes but when the war is over it will
be the third army that will save the
American way of life. Members of the
third army" must be the stabilizers
who will tide this country over the dan
gerous postwar period. If this third
army is impoverished, the United
States will lose the war because the
totalitarian way of life will take over.
1t follows that every American
should begin stabilizing himself. The
man who will best weather the change
over will be the one who now puts his
money into goods. One of the most sue
cessful Independent oil men we know
told us recently that he was in the mar
ket for the purchase of oil farms. 1T
is the only thing that has not been in
flated and it is the one thing that will
not be deprecated after the war" he
said, We listened carefully because we
respect his judgment We believe in
capitalizing the judgment of the sue
cessful as against the theorist, for we
can measure the judgment of the sue
cessful man by his success.
We are inclined to measure the prob
ability of an oil enterprise by the dem
onstrated judgment of the operator. We
have many times seen the unlucky type
of operator hit it rich, frequently leav-
ing us behind. That is the exception
that proves the rule We like to follow
an operator who has repeatedly proven
the worth of his judgment We like to
follow geologist who has discovered
several oil fields-rather than one
whose brilliance may have kept the OPP
orator away from many failures. We
highly regard the Dupuyer develop
ment of The Texas Co. because we
know something of the thoroughness
of their geological work, plus the re-
markable job of leasing which resulted
in assembling some $4,000 acres of
leases. AS an example of the thorough
ness and apparent confidence of the
in this enterprise, not just the
we'll site but all the farms in an entire
township have been distracted and
titles brought up to date, before the
rig was moved. This plus the cost of
wells to be drilled means that The
Texas Co. is backing up its judgment
with large amount of money-per-
haps more money than has ever before
been expended by one company in an
effort to develop a new oil field in
Montana POSSIBLY barring Montana
Dakota's deep drilling at Bakery.
The good judgment of The Texas
20. is that this nation will need much
more oil, during and after the war;

Can you feature anyone starting 6
large jewelry store in a new location
far away from the business section Of
a city, investing maybe $4,000, hav-
ing a high operating overhead and
then permitting someone to take over
q small space in the center Of the
store to compete with you in the same
business with no initial investment In
the venture and then you calmly sit
ting back and saying to him.
"If am fortunate enough to build
up big business. you, being situated
as you are, will get the cream of it..
1t will not cost you much, only q
few pennies and a little time to find
out how I, by risking large sum Of
money, get along. You need not spend
any money on big stock of goods, for
If the business is a success, you have
the space and can then buy a stock
and go into competition with me-"
1t makes no difference what bust
ness you are IN, whether 1t be the
grocery, jewelry, drug, sheep, cattle,
oil or farming, or what have you.
Business is business and the one that
takes the chance Is the one that should
run the show and is entitled to any
profits he can honestly make. Why
single out the wildcat development
business, as the one on which to ex-
pect free ride, when it is without
doubt the most hazardous Of all legit-
innate enterprises.
The only conclusion a reasonable
person can arrive at is that "the wild
cater is entitled to and should have
a solid block Of leases on which to
explore for oil or gas. The initial test

miles distant from the producing area

directions he may only have the dis

that the oil industry is going to ex-
pand and grow come what will This
company is an example of the people
who look far into the future. The much
smaller but successful operator who
gave it as his opinion that oil lands
constitute the safest investment is
thinking along similar lines.
1t is difficult for the average investor
TO see much future In the rush and
tumble of war there seems no posi-
bility for a person to put his money to
work, other than at bond interest. The
man who hopes to remain solvent must
put his money to work He must so
place his money that he will be sure
that it is safe from loss and yet be
likely to increase in value. Money itself
does not increase in value in this time;
instead, it depreciates Invested in good
lands, it is fairly safe and if the lands
happen to be oil lands, his money will
grow. In the postwar period he will
have the nucleus of a personal fortune,
the extent and size of which will be
determined by Mother Nature who de-
posted the oil beneath that land. If it
happens to be a Byrne farm, then the
owner will realize a great fortune. If
it is not oil land, then the owner will
drop back on the surface of the land
to realize the amount of his investment.
For those who wish to spread their
investments beyond tracts of oil land
which they might buy in. fee, there is
offered landowners oil royalties. The
royalty owner buys the rights of the
landowner, only he takes but a proper
tionate part of the oil produced from
given tract. He foregoes the purchase
of the surface rights of the land but
by the law of averages he succeeds in
making profit. This week we were
called upon to appraise royalties of the
estate of departed member of this or
ganization. He had some eight royal
ties. Seven of them had not been de-
veloped and were listed as doubtful"
The eighth has been proven and is
1t is worth 10 times the total
investment in the other seven. Thus the
law of averages cared for this investor
who was one of the type who liked to
buy the big odds afforded by wildcat
royalties. He probably figured that if
he hit once out of 10 that he would
make money. If that was his theory, it
proved good

We are in the greatest war of all
time, fighting primarily for the Ameri-
can way of life. We are not greatly con-
cerned about the Russian way of life,
nor of the British way of life. We are
in this war because the American way
of life was threatened. Had we been
convinced that totalitarian way of life
is better than our own, it would have
changed the issues in this war. The
American way of life would not have
been worth fighting for, had we felt
that the dictator way was better.
The American people love their way
of life. They will make any sacrifice to
maintain that way of life-sacrifice
anything except giving up the Ameri-
can way of life. They will surrender
many of the perogatives of American
citizenship to win this war, but with
full confidence that the American form
of government will assure return of
those perogatives after the war with the
axis system is won.
The man who does not look ahead
and begin planning for the future and
for the postwar period is indeed fail
ing himself and his family as we'll as
the United States and the American
way of life. Everyone knows that
there will be some tremendous econom-
ic problems following the close of the
war. Millions of men now employed in
making munitions will be suddenly
thrown out of work Millions of men
in uniform will be turned back to CT
william life, many of them jobless. Many
returning soldiers will dispIace men
who are holding their jobs "for the
duration"
The change-over from military pro-
duction to normal ways of life will be
a far more difficult process than has
been the recent remarkable transforma-
ton into war nation. The recent trans
formation was accomplished with the
endless funds of the government. Man
ufacturing plants have been ire-tooled
virtually overnight. Those same plants
must be re-tooled to return to their
former output. But this time the re-
tooling will be the problem of private
industry. 1t is going to be difficult
problem to finance this vast enterprise
for in due course of time the govern
ment is going to tighten up its purse
strings.
There are and will be enemies from
within who will hope and work to pre-
vent private enterprise from restoring
the nation to the American way. But
f there are enough thinking Americans,
the enemies from within will be pre-
vented from accomplishing what the
otalitarian powers are unable to ac-
,omplish through force of arms.
