needed relief.
The war has made it possible to accomplish many
needed reforms almost over night by executive action
reforms that would otherwise have involved tedious years
of agitation and education. Among these reforms should
he federal seizure' and operation of Hie oil industry. Uuro
pean belligerents have found it necessary to carry out
similar programs in their industries and America should
profit by the lessons of Kurope.
The oil fields, the coal mines and other natural re
sources belong to the nation. Individuals who discover
nud develop them are entitled to a fair profit, but they are
not entitled to systematically and unnecessarily conduct
campaigns of robbery, to exploit the public and secure
profits out of all proportion to the service rendered and
that is the system under which they are at present
operated.
Production cost of oil, production cost of coal, or pro
duction cost of any necessary of civilization is known to a
peiiuv. Capital invested is also known. The selling price
should be fixed by the government, so as to give a fair
margin ol prolit. but no more and it such arrangement
is not satisfactorv, the propertv should be confiscated and
operated directly by the government. Only by some such
radical action can the exploitation of the many tor the
benefit of the few be checked and the common good be
served.
