For some uses synthetic is better than
natural gum. Already Goodyear,
Goodrich, Firestone, U. S. Tire Com
pany, are getting ready to get these
plants for nothing. They have plenty
of support for the scheme in congress,
in politicians, both democrats and re-
publicans, in the daily press.
There is a new miracle in metal
lurgy. Magnesium, as common as sea
water, found almost everywhere, by a
cheap process, becomes a metal
stronger and lighter than aluminium
The Dow Chemical Company RECEIVERS
magnesium from sea water of the
Gulf of Mexico. In Nevada the gov
eminent has spent 146 million dollars
on a plant producing this wondrous
metal in 10 times the quantity, at
less cost, paying higher wages than
Dow Chemical Company. Many will
preach that the peoples plant must
be shut down, the workmen there set
adrift. The beautiful establishment
sold at some price agreed on by some
oily government agent, and Dow, Du
Pont, or some other maybe of indus

The less gasoline there is, the higher

Scotland and Germany petroleum is
made from oil shale and Ignite. In
Montana there are 10000 square miles
underlaid with Ignite. The admins
tration has just appropriated thirty
million dollars to perfect methods of
reducing petroleum from shale and
Ignite. In Beaverhead county there
is enough oil in shale deposits to run
this nation for several years. Private
industry buys patented inventions and
hides them to protect existing plants.
The Standard Oil will not spend mon
ey to get oil from shale and Ignite
until it has profited by the scarcity
of it's present monopoly.
After the last war the entire capt.

The same crowd will try to annex
all the public plants at dawn of peace.
