HIGH PRICE
AWHSOM.TTJON has been introduced in congress to
probe the increased cost of gasoline. At the same
time the federal trades commission is conducting an in
vestigation of the same subject.
Despite the increased consumption, due to the popu
larizing of the automobile, it does not keep pace with the
increased production. New oil fields are constantly being
discovered and opened up, the number and capacity of re
fineries being amazingly increased, while the cost of pro
duction by late processes has been cheapened.
As a means of lowering the cost of petroleum prod
ucts to the people, the prosecution of the Standard Oil
trust, conducted so long and triumphantly by the govern
ment under the Sherman anti-trust law, has resulted in
failure.
In 1J)11 the United Slates supreme court declared the
Standard Oil a combination in restraint of trade. .It was
ordered dissolved and was dissolved under direction of the
circuit court and the attorney general. Each stock cer
tificate was split into tlHrty-four stock certificates, under
the same ownership.
Fowv veal's ago these stock certificates had a market
value of .$(7G,000,000. Their present market value is
$2,025,000,000, or three times as much and gasoline is now
higher than it ever was before. It is evident from this
that all the evil features of conspiracy in restraint of trade
have been preserved, through permitting common owner
ship of stock and interlocking directorates. The monopoly
exists under a new form.
Through the beneficence of our government, the Stand
ard Oil litis been able to secure a monopoly of a natural
resource a resource that belongs to the people. Jf they
are to retain it, it should be under government supervision,
permitting a fair return for the investment, but prohibit
ing extortion. Natural resources, like public utilities,
should be regulated.
WORK FOR
FOLLOWING its effort to secure employment for the
jobless, by making all postofficcs employment bur
eaus, the department of labor has offered a new solution
for the problem of the unemployed. It suggests that the
government's unused laud be open to the use of the men
wiinour woric.
"With the limited means at its disposal, the department,
through its federal employment offices, found work last
year for 111, 000 workers out of 88,000 applications, but
there were left 57,000 to whom no employment could be
offered. To remedy (his condition, the suggestion is made
that the idle government land be thrown open to the use
of the unemployed, under government regulation, the land
htill lo be retained by the government.
The annual report of the secretary of agriculture states
that approximately of the one billion acres under govern
ment ownership, -100,000,000 acres of arable lands are un
used. The laud tenure should bo so regulated, says the depart
ment, as to insure the occupant the entire product of his
labor; inflation of land values must bo prevented. For
"wherever inflation of land values might enter in, the pro
posed method of promoting labor distribution would be
obstructed."
The suggestion is a worthy one and if its adoption can
bo secured will do much to alleviate the distress caused by
unemployment. Tho homestead law is good, as far as ft
goes, but does not meet the immediate needs of the man
out of a job.
The department points to the rapid concentration of
land ownership and the increase of tenantry to show that
the nresont methods of land disposal are radically wrong
-which permit large tracts of land privately owned to
remain idle.
Eventually we may progress far enough to confiscate
idle land by taxation or other means to provide eniplov
ineiit and homes forjhc uneiuploye'd.

BEET CULTURE
Samuel b'lorcy, soil man for tho
Oregon-Utah Sujiur company, re
ceived a letter from Alex Nibley this
morning-, from Portland, to which city
Mr. Nibley had j,ono on busine. Ho
left today on his return to Snlt Lake
and expressed the belief that he
could complete his business there in
time to return lo this city a week
hence.
Mr. Nibley requested .Mr. Storey
to advise the farmer who had sub
scribed iicrcnico for beet culture this
year to do their plowing as curly an
possible and get everything in shnpo
for business. Nothing was said in the
letter about the final location of the
fnclory, but itn establishment some
where in the valley is assured.
"If tho fanuerH had their ground
plowed now lo gel the advantage' of
these little freezes," said Mr. Storey,
"it would do it much good. In addi
tion to that, the plowed ground will
bo a better 'sponge' to hold the mois
ture that may fall hereafter during
the winter than the hard ground could
be.
"I ntltise Ihe fanner-," continued
Mr. Sloiey, "Itt subsoil us much as
possible, especially where a 'plow
Mile' lias been created by eoiilinu
oih plowing at one depth for many
jeaiH. A hnrdpan has thus been
formed which should be broken up
and pulverized. In somn districts in
the valley I hnve observed that there
i a prindy subsoil. In (hut forma
tion no 'plow sole' has been formed,
but that oil ltoiild be plowed deep.

you say. Well, It Is guaranteed to per

There are vnst numbers of men nnd
women who, Immediately Upon arising
In tho morning, drink a gl.i6s of real
hot water with a tcaspoonfitl of llnio
stone pliosphato In It. This Is a very
excellent health measure. It Is In
tended to, flush tho stomach, liver, kid

bacteria which Infest tho bowels, tho
quick result is poisons and toxins
which arc then absorbed Into tho blood
causing hcftdacho, bilious attacks, foul

Peoplo who fcol good ono day and
