evening, neither of the two bids
submitted for erection of build

strong enough.

pany of Dallss bid $17,388.52
and the Miles Construction com
pany of Salem bid $23,885. Al
ternate plans and use of mater
ials were suggested by several
other firms.

1 According to our accountants. Union Oil
made a net profit during 1951 of $27,295,971. If
this bookkeeping profit represented the com
pany's actual "take" our 38,3-17 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. Here's tho reason! In 1951 we had to spend
$62,421,000 for replacement of worn-out equip
ment and oil properties and to eniarge our facili
ties to meet the greatly increased demand in the
West for petroleum products. This money came
from three sources. j
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 profile.
$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
affects not only us but every U. S, corporation.
5. Briefly J? it thlil The sums the tax collector
allows you to set aside for depreciation and de
pletion are based on what things cost when you
acquired ttem-not what it costs to replace them
today. Since these depreciation funds aren't ade
quate to Teplace equipment and oil properties at
today's prices, we have to make up the differ
ence somewhere -or go out of business.
4. On top of this, extremely heavy taxes on
corporate earnings make it almoBt 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.
