N.Y., and Pennsylvania Voters Balloting Today (Continued from Page One) dieting he would get 20 of them. Taft bowed out of the Pennsyl vania popularity race, saying it was fruitless because delegates are not bound by its results. Neverthe less, his backers looked for a write in showing. Eisenhower forces were banking on a write-in, too among Demo crats. Pennsylvania permits cross ing party lines in such polls and the General's backers looked at it this way: A heavy Eisenhower vote in both primaries . might cause GOP leaders to throw the majority of Pennsylvania's 70 convention votes his way in July. Democrats in Pennsylvania have to write in a name if they want to express a presidential prefer ence. There are no names on the ballot. Sen. Kefauver of Tennessee was hoping to shine In this depart ment. , A move in Kefauver's behalf at the Idaho Democratic convention fell by the wayside Monday when a 12-vote delegation was left un instructed.

Of the 24, the poll showed nine favor in Kefauver, three for Sen. Kerr (D.-Okla.), one for W. Averell Har riman and the others either un decided or unavailable for comment.

MOODY, Agent Phone 3-4115 1 How you can make a profit of $27,295,971 LEARN and LIVE When your boy or girl is old enough to take the wheel of the family ear, their chancel of becoming a safe driver are three times better today than a few years ago if they have had the opportunity of becoming a high school-trained driver. Last year nearly 700,000 students m are than one out of every three eligibles were enrolled in driver training courses given by 8,000 high schools. There is hope that in the not too distant future EVERY boy and girl will receive driver education before taking the wheel, How it It working? In one state, a che :h of 800 trained and 800 untrained drivers after a year s experience revealed that only 100 of the trained ones hod run afoul of the law in accidents, violations and warnings. Of the 800 untrained, 769 had some kind of mark ogainst them.

H! 40.28I.OOO g JSM W0RK"W : 'DEPRECIATION msSEzSI CAPTOU. gS 4 DEPttriON I L According to our accountants, Union Oil made s net profit during 1951 pf $27,296,971. If this bookkeeping- profit . represented the com pany's actual "take" our 38,347 common share owners would be overjoyed. But after paying dividends of $11,444,259, we actually ended up on the minus side of the ledger to the sum of $7,534,000 in working- capital. 2. Hera's the reasons In 1951 we had to spend ' $62,421,000 for replacement of worn-out equip ment and oil properties and to enlarge our facili ties to meet the greatly increased demand in the West for petroleum products. This money came from three sources 3 $40,281,000 of it came from the "depreci ation and depletion" allowance. (The sums a corporation sets aside each year-to replace equipment and oil properties when they're worn out.) $14,606,000 of it was made up out of profits. $7,534,000 of it was taken from working capital the "checking account" a business keeps on hand for day-to-day expenditures. 4. We obviously can't keep dipping into our ' working capital indefinitely and stay in business. For if we do well eventually run out of money "' to carry our receivables, inventories, etc., and pay our daily operating expenses. That's why something has to be done about a situation that afTects not only us but every U. S. corporation. 5 Briefly it Is thlsi The sums the tax collector allows you to set aside for depreciation and de pletion are based on what things cost wAen you acquired themnot what it costs to replace them today. Since these depreciation funds aren't ade quate to replace equipment and oil properties at today's prices, we have to make up the differ ence somewhere or go out of business. 6 On top of this, extremely heavy taxes on corporate earnings make it almost impossible to retain enough profits to make up the difference. So we have to take it from working capital. That's why we must have a tax policy that will permit corporations to earn enough for the replacement and expansion necessary to maintain the produc tivity and economic growth of the nation.
