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. A motion to pledge the group to
Kefauver was beaten down at the
Lewiston meeting.
However, Kefauver led in a poll
of the 24 delegates elected each
delegates will have half a vote. 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.

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. Other state reports confirm this progress through driver education.

: '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.
