WHAT TO DO
Accordng to Rodger W. Babson, spokesman for the
advocates of restriction of oil output, the time is not
far distant when consolidation of production and dis
tribution will eliminate what he terms is needless small
distribution stations and the entire business will be hand
led after the manner of a public utility.
If Mr. Babson speaks by the card, and the recent
steps taken by the administration at Washington to fui
ther the curtailment of oil production, indicates the gov
ernment opinion, some of the leading economists will
come into conflict in ideas. Not the least ot these aie
Henry Ford, Captain Robert Dollar, and a legion of
others, who are advocating the scrapping of all
ideas of over-production of any commodity and direct
attention to creating new fields of consumption.
But the most disconcerting element in the entire
problem is what threatens to be the- extinction of small
dealers of every disc rip tion. Not only are the oil dis-j
tributors threatened, but there is not a line of endeav
er from inn-keeping to dealing in every necessity of life
that is not threatened by the new deluge of consolid
ation and centralization. Apparently the same philoso-:
phy has gained great inroads in government as witnessed
by the gradual eliminaton of what were considered
State’s right by centralization of federal power and
bureaucracy.
If the new doctrine is correct, then it is apparent
that the founders of the American Republic were wrong.
It infringes too closely upon the Old European system
which was the product of the germ of freedom of en- j
deaver which fructified in the American Republic. It is a
question of whether or not the future shall hold promise
for prosperity in the form of opportunity for beginning
on a small scale and building up in business, or scrapping
the American idea and become retainers of a concen- j
trated plutocracy.
Advocates of the consolidation idea find a germ of i
logic in the assertion that it will automatically usher in
the socialistic idea of public ownership of the means and
distributon of production. The idea is a good one for
those who hold the helm of the great combination, but
there is another element- -the masses who can only hold
their own and cannot purchase stock in the enterprise. 1
It is claimed that the Orient has a potential market
of some fifteen billion dollars when it becomes modern
ized. The automobile is just gaining a foothold in China
and Japan.
Maybe Mr. Babson had better wait and try out op
posing idea of taking care of overproduction- -creating
of more markets—before he weds to the one he advo
cates.
A bunch of wreckers delving for the safe of a sun
ken steamer in Southeastern Alaska, threatened to
prosecute the newspapers that published anything
about their operations. Well, we’ll swap them a libel
judgement for the contents of that safe, and will not
squeal to the income tax sleuths.

LARGE COLLECTION EXTINCT
ANIMALS AND IMPLEMENTS
UNCOVERED
MELBOURNE, Fla., July 22. (/P)
Man has lived for at least 25,000
years on the North American con
tinent. A new birthday, set back
to the days of fantastic creatures
that no longer exist, has been fig
ured out by Dr. J. W. Gidley, of
the Smithsonian institution on the
basis of new finds near here.
An ancient stone scraper, found j
by himself, and crude arrowhead, j
located beneath a mastodon bone I
by Charles P. Singleton, are consid- j
ered added proof of an early ex- ■
istance of man.
The relics of an ancient stone age |
culture were uncovered in the same
earth layer that contained bones
of extinct animals known to have |
lived long ago.. They could not !
have been buried by a race of a
later time, according to Dr. Gidley.'
The discoveries are another link j
in the scientific proof that may re
fute the claims of anthropologists j
who believe man’s first appearance j
on the North American continent!
occurred less than 6,000 years ago. j
The increased age of American I
man little bridges the gap with
European man, however, for exist
ence in the old world has been
traced to 500,000 years ago.
Dr. Gidley also uncovered a vast
collection of extinct animals. The
remains will be studied for their
bearing on the age of the deposits.
TARIFF HEARINGS
WASHINGTON, July 23. (JP)—
Public tariff hearings were con
cluded before the senate Finance
Committee. Pleas of oil operators
and coal producers for increased
taxes featured the session.
A promising vein has been dis- j
covered by Pilgram & Grant on j
their ground, Happy Creek, and i
before the summer is over the j
operators expect to have a mill ;
running.
Sixty-seven percent of Illinois is
underlaid with coal.
