essential to human
I Every time your heart beats America uses 837 gallons
of gasoline. That's 62,785 gallons per minute, 33 billion gal
lons per year. Gasoline in that quantity-enough to make a
small river -can't be stored to any extent. It has to flow.
Jm That means the stream must be kept moving con
stantly -from oil wells to refinery to substation to service
station to you. This takes tank ships, tank cars and trucks.
But most important of all, it takes pipe lines - thousands of
miles of them.
s9 Now these pipe lines cost money. At Union Oil, for
example, we have 1100 miles of line through which we
pump more than 7 million gallons of gasoline and oil every
day. These lines with their 35 pumping stations and dozens
of storage tanks cost $20,800,000 to install.
. r, ., ...
If Union Oil had been owned by, say, two men, this
system would have cost them $10,400,000 apiece. But since
the company is owned by 32,227 people the cost averaged
just $645 per stockholder-owner. In this principle of mul
tiple ownership you have one secret of America's indus
trial might
9 If our heavy industries had to be financed by the few
people who could put up $10,000,000, progress would be
pretty slow. But by pooling the money and the talents of a
lot of people we've been able to accomplish tasks collectively
that we could never have handled alone.
6 Of course, these big jobs could have been financed
by assessing all the people through government ownership.
But we Americans do it under voluntary legal agreements
known as corporations. For in that way we can preserve
the efficiency of a free economy, freedom of the individual
and that all-important human incentive - competition.
