Velour Mirrolac %ife Motor Car Finish Marble Floor OBSERVATIONS (By the Cornfield Philosopher) THE ONE BIG ISSUE Editor Tribune—The more I study the Cummins-Esch railroad act the more I admire the satanic ingenuity of its framers and the more convinced am I that transportation should be made the leading issue in the coming political campaign. This issue, in itself, is big enough to call into existence a new politic il party. Just as the slavery question was made to order for the Republican party by the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court, which held among other things, that "a negro had no rights a white man is bound to res pect," so has the recent interpreta tion of the Cummins-Esch law by our highest legal tribunal opened the wayof for a new political organization to finally settle the great transportation problem. The effect of tins decision is to practically annul all state regu lation of transportation and set aside as "unconstitutional" all state laws fixing freight and passenger rates. All this tremendous power has been trans ferred to Congress by this court deci sion. If we want reduced treight rates we must look to Congress for relief. It is true that the National Board of Railroad Commissioners appointed by the President has power to regulate and control rates of transportation, but these rates must be fixed so high as to insure a gross income sufficient to not only meet all operating expen ses but also to provide for a six per cent dividend on watered stock and And the Commission has no authority to regulate or control these "operating expenses RaiLroad Executives and Boards of Directors not only pay themselves princely sal aries, in some cases exceeding that re ceived by the President of these Uni ted States, but they put upon their pay roll a vast army of lawyers at from $20,000 to $50,000 per year They spend great sums to "soap" newspap ers disguised as advertising They contribute to political com paigns very generously especially where their proven fuends are candi dates. It is said that the late E. H. Harn man, known as the railroad wrecker, donated a quarter of a million dollars to the campaign fund of one party and then fearing the other one might win out and enact legislation adverse to his interests, gave to the opposition an equal sum—thus forestalling un favorable legislation from either par ty. 2673 9i^:k^M^m^^m ^m^M^M?$^y£s^ JC^^^'^:d^ljA „^^p&^, All of these vast expenditures come out of your pocket and mine, my gen tle reader, and are represented either in the reduced price we receive for our products or in increased cost of what we buy, or in both. In my judgment no real or lasting prosperity can come to the farmer so long as the great lines of transporta tion are operated merely for the pro fit of the few railroad magnates and they must be so conducted under pri vate ownership. And under this sys tem a constantly increasing freight and passenger rate must necessarily follow. How do you like the picture? There is actually a movement on foot here in Minnesota, to re-elect Sen ator KeiJogg and send back from pure ly agricultural districts such men as Congressmen Sidney Anderson, A. J. Volstead and Halvor Steenerson, all whom supported the Cummins-Esch bill And they expect to do this with the votes of men and women living on tha farm. And this law doubled their freight bills on all they sell and all they have to buy. Nobody is going to defend the Cummins-Esch act in public for the very good reason that it cannot be successfully defended. An effort will be made to delude the peo ple and draw their attention to minor matters. Let us compel them to meet this issue squarely on the rostrum and in the press. Statistics show that the railroads and other middlemen "gobble up" two-thirds of the wealth cieated on the farm for the service they render the producer in getting his products to the ultimate consumer practically fixing their own compensa tion for this service. Government ownership and oper ation would enable the farmer to con trol through co-operative agencies the handling of both 'his grain and live stock and to reap the profits that now go to middlemen. Just how this might be accomplished will be the subject ot a future article. MINNEAPOLIS PHYSICIAN D.r.

Gasolinefor an Empire Tpopulation(Indiana) HE eleven states served by the Standard Oil Company is an empire in area,wealth, and industrial activities. It con stitutes the largest and most important market for petroleum products on the American continent. To win such a market, to gain the confidence, and enjoy the respect of this buying public is a task worth while. To achieve this objective, to merit the confidence of its patrons, and to be prepared at all times to serve them, has been for many years the dominat ing idea of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). To make its service more comprehensive it manu factures special grades of its products to meet special requirements. For example, take gasoline. Under this general head come fifteen different products, each made with scientific precision to meet a specific, well defined need. For the motorist the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes Red Crown Gasoline. This product is made for the sole purpose of generating power in the modern internal combustion engine. It has a chain of boiling point fractions carefully adjusted and graduated with scientific exactness to enable you to get from your engine all the power it can develop. In attacking the problem of supplying motor gasoline for 30 million people, three main points were considered— Fint—Quality: The gasoline must function perfectly: to do this nothing short of scientific pre cision is sufficient. Second—Quantity: To meet the ever-grow ing demands for motor fuel, the yield of gasoline must be great if the cost is to be kept down. Third—Distribution: To make it easy for the consumer, wherever he may live, to secure 1 gallon or 1000 gallons of gasoline, whenever he may need it. In Red Crown Gasoline is symbolized the ideals animating the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is highly efficient —it is produced in large quantities, and sold at a price that is fair to all. Red Crown has achieved leadership by rendering a maximum of service just as the Standard Oil Com pany (Indiana) has become a leader in the industry by rendering a definite, positive, essential service. It is by such standards that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) measures its usefulness and by maintaining such standards it intends to con tinue this leadership by meriting the confidence and respect of the public it serves.
