It's Still
a Long Way
to China
ASTRONOMERS will soon
. have a telescope able to
make the moon 238,857 miles
away look as close as a knot
hole in the back fence. Yet even
now the moon is almost too
neighborly, too obvious, too
nearby for them to bother with.
Concerning what's up, scientists
scorn to think in miles. They
prefer light-years.
When it comes to what's
down, scholars don't talk in
miles either but in feel. Exact
knowledge learned by test
runs only to the bottom of the
deepest oil well. Only a few
years ago oil wells went little
deeper than the deepest mine.
One California well now
reaches almost three miles
15,004 feet into the secret in
terior of the Earth. That, ladies
and gentlemen, is a hole. It's
the world's biggest test tube.
Such deep drilling has been
made possible gradually by
many improvements to drilling
machinery and by develop
ment of the ability to keep a
hole, straight so that it doesn't
go slithering off like an early
Pennsylvania well which started
on a hilltop, struck a brewery
at the base, and came in a
gusher of beer.
By tapping lower levels the
industry has assured the world
of vast new reserves of petro.
leum. In fact, it has discovered
an entirely new oil-bearing con
tinent. Standard Oil Company

Countless Bridges or 8
Cross -Country Roadways
By PRESTON G ROVER
WASHINGTON This past congress
may go Into history for the things
It might have done and didn't In
stead of the things It did, and on
that subject we can quote you some
thing by Senator Ashhurst of Arizona
which Is apropos.
At practically any time of the day
night Senator Ashurst can say
something apropos of almost any
thing. When we approaohed him with a
suggestion that he outline some of
the major hlngs the congress left
undone he grinned wisely and said:
"The country Is always grateful for
the legislation congress does not en
act." Inch Still 8-8ths
Well, the country, on that basis.
has much about which to be grateful.
It did not pass a law to shorten the
Inch, although certain learnod per
sons urged congress to cut It down
by about one ten -thousandth of the
width of a pin. It woudln't have
made any difference In the purchase
of a yard of cloth but It would have
run to something near 36 feet in
measuring the distance across the
United States.
Antl-lynchlng legislation went by
the boards and so did the proposal
to build a ship -canal across the
Florida peninsula and to harness the
Pa&samaquoddy tides. These things
are not dead, of course. They only
slecpeth, and will rise again, come
next congress.
Not passed was a bill proposing to
take up to 95 per cent of the profits
of war and another to conscript cap
ital and Industry In the same hour
the government sends Its men Into
the battlefield.
If all the bridge bills which did
not pass were laid end to end It
would keep capltol Janitors busy for
weeks.
Eight trans-U. S. highways, four
each way, will not be built as a
result of legislation which did not
pass this session. Postponed, too, as
a result of legislation which did not
pass, is construction of a highway
from Seattle to Alaska.
Too Bad Oklahoma
Oklahoma, for a time at least,
must do without the 1135,000,000 Its
officials asked the treasury to turn
over to it as a result of Inability to
tax Indian lands. The legislation
which did not pass explained this
amount would have been collected In
taxes in the years since opening of
the territory to settlers, if It had
been legal to tax tribal properties.
At this point It Is only fair to
explain on behalf of Senator Ashurst
that he la not against all these
things. It Is just his belief that the
country would rather dodge most
legislation even though any indi
vidual citizen, when confronted with
a particular piece, as likely as not
would vote for It in the belief It
was for the public weal. People are
Just like congressmen.
We have not added up the amount
of money the country will not have
to raise as a result of the legislation
which did not pass. But the amount
of change the country will have to
raise as a result of legislation the
75th congress did pass la upwards of
$20,000,000,000. more than two-thirds
of which Is yet to be gathered in.
And that Is right smart folding
money.
