What's The Matter With Oil?
Sucn a course may be necessary as a step in the process
of tie return to old conditions, but if guaranteed and re
stricted income are to became permanent parts of the
railroad program, the country may as weft admit that so
cialists is here and begm a readjustment sf all its easiness
in accordance with the new order of thugs. So keg as
tT railroads receive a uniform rate :f earnings, regardless
of their actual receipts and disbursements, no incentive ex
ists to improve service or to pot the properties on a pay
jig basis. Only the expectation that eventually govern
ment guarantees wfH be withdrawn will spar the owners to
ju the n properties en their old plane of efficiency.
Wide powers are given the interstate commerce comrnis
mou under tfit terms of the peading measure. Has com
m.son virtually becomes the railroad administration.
Wage as well as rates, come to a great extent under its
jjnsd etion The provision m the bill for compulsory sub
mission of wage disputes to the commission will no doubt
meet with violent opposition on the part of some labor or
ganizations, but in this radical move may e found the
solution for our labor problems. The government is under
taking a big task in proposing to act as arbiter between
capital and labor, a task which is bound to bring a lot of
fnef 'u members of the commission and the administra
tion Bjt the plan is worth a trial, and if it tends even
m the slightest degree to bring industrial peace, the coun
rv will be for it.
To make this plan a sueceat, the interstate commerce;
OIL company promoters and oil stock speculators owe it
to the public and to themselves to 'find out what is
the matter with the oil zame and apply the remedy. In
the past few weeks local stocks have shrunk in value to
sach an extent that trading is almost at a stasosuii.
Shares in companies of which great things were expected
are being offered at far below par and each day sees the
declines more pronounced. Unless something is done
quickly, there would seem to be danger of total collapse.
The people of El Paso and the country tributary have
invested several million dollars in oil stocks. A good pro
portion of t' money has come from persons who cannot
afford to lose. The chance of winning the enormous profits
so glowingly pictured by promoters has induced hundreds of
men and women to invest their lifetime savings in the
great oil gamble -and the loss of this money would mean
tragedy in many lives.
Gossip has it that speculators are forcing down prices
for the purpose of scaring shareholders into selling at '
losses in order to buy in shares and then send prices up
agam to former levels. This may or may not be true, but
certain it is that from-some cause or otner, stocics in com
panies supposed to have splendid holdings, and even some
with good production, are being sold on the local markets
at from 100 to 300 percent under the prices of three mentis
ago.
In a bearish market of this kind the good stocks suffer
with the bad. Some method should be devised to separate
the wheat from the tares. Organizations of shareholders
might go a long way toward meeting the situation. With
out going to any expense, the stockholders in various com
panies coaM form associations ana compel an accounting.
This would show whether tie market weakness is usmiea i
ccmmissioc should be entirely removed fram politics and or is solely the result of speculation.
all political influences. It should be placed on a plane witn j
the supreme court of the United States, for it becomes a
couri of highest importance to the industry and the work-
rtf rh rnnntrv
Congress has had to face innumerable and perplexing ' rT
irobiems in nreparinc for the return of the railroads to. A
private control. It would be remarkable indeed if some
mistakes have not crept into the bill and the country will
be inclined to be patient in giving time for the restoration
of the lines to old conditions. But the experiment of gov
ernment control has been so unfortunate that no perma
nti policy will be tolerated which does away with com
petition, guarantees or fixes earnings or destroys initiative
on Lhe part of the railroad companies.
1 wiU require a long time to put the railroads back
liere they were before the war, but H permitted to do so,
toe same genius which, made American railways the best
is the world will restore them to that position. This
greatly to be desired esd can sever be accomplished if gov
ernment red tape is bound around their management.

America, particularly, has bo much
money that it will pay any price for,
certain merchandise in order to get
it and to be able to get the immense
Quantities that the American market
demands. Tbe manufacturers make
promises that never materialize, due
to over prosperity In Japan and the
tremendous demand for Japanese
goods from practically all centers or
the universe.
-The home life or the average Jap
anese is rather odd and a novelty to

item on the menu and even stewed

ate some before I discovered what I
was eating and I liked them very
much until I learned what they were.
Bread is practical K nnknewn among
tne Japanese people, as rfte Is the
staff of life over there.
The heieht of amusement for the
average Japanese is to have Geisha
girts come to their homes and put on
a ueisha song and dance. A Geisha
song; and dance is to the American
simply a nov'ty and after once wit
nessed the average American dees
not care for a second performance.
though It Is extremely entertaining
to the Japanese and they never tire
of it. The Geisha dance is a gestlcnlar
dance, beins movements of the bead
and hands with continual bowing; and
the Gefsha music sounds rather
mournful to the American bat la en
