Expanding its service to every corner of the slate and marketing top quality prod ucts at fair prices form the solid foundation on which this Nebraska institution has built. Knowing the climatic con ditions under which motors operate in Nebraska, no labor or expense has been spared to develop the high est quality-oil and determine the most suitable grades. Second to none in quality, Pola rine is made from a selected grade of Wyoming crude oil by a process which gives it outstanding advan tages.

I The attempt to enforce such a law j would be met by the question of I what is and what is not speculation, j There would be such a tangle in j in banking busings that it would .jar business more than a dozen specu lative crazes. The Senator wants the discount rate fixed by C l.ress. lniinin' fi31 j nvnibers of Congress, most of whom 'do net kiu..v a discount rate from a barn door and who are n.tteily un familiar with the working and n' ds i of business, ibciding what shall be the discount rate and business wait ing for the close of the debate r.'id the derision. What may happen dur ing the congressional recess, w.ien business gos on regardless of Con gress? Only a glance at the proposal is needed to damn it. It may be possible, as Senator Class suggests, that enlarging the powers of the Federal Reserve Board lis desirable. But to control business by fiat of law and regulatory bu reaus is unthinkable. There would be no "speculation" about disaster under these circumsta'icos; it would be certain. INDUSTRIAL COMBINES Secretary Wilbur of the federal department of the interior, armed with a formal opinion by Attorney General Mitchell, has informed the Anieri.-uu lYtrohum Institute that its proposed voluntary curtailm.-nt of production ot oil cannot be sanc tion ed by any official of the United States. The question that arises is not whether the proposed agreement I is economically sound. If the oil companies decide to restrict produc tion, they take a chance. For there is no federal ncy with power to grant immunities or make exceptions when federal anti-trust laws are violated. It is true that, if an agreement in restriction of production be mani festly in the interests of the public, the United States Supreme court, in a suit involving the issue, would ap ply the well-known rule of leason and refuse to interfere. But the oil producers do not care to invite p:o- -..fi i!i-ciitt r'Tiii in. r-fir.vni de partment of justice might feel con stiain'ed to challenge a nation-wide agreement to limit production of oil for a given period. It might fear that such an agreem nt would serve as a precedent for other and less meritorious combination in restraint of trade. So the oil-producing companies face an awkward dilemma in view of the serious over-supply of their pro duct. There is a somewhat analogous is sue in the informal appeal of Presi dent Hoover by the respective offi cers of the Radio Corporation of America and the International Tele phone and Telegraph Company for friendly support of the projected con solidation of their communication services "if and when the law per mits." The Eo-cailed White radio law expressly prohibits the consolidation, which is deemed essential in older that American interests may com pete successfully with the unified cable and radio services of Great Britain. Mr. Hoover has discus; ed the matter informally with representa tnes of the corporations concerned, but lie is not expected to reach an immediate decision. Congress would be likely to follow his deliberate re commendation when dealing with a business question which he had studied while in' charge of the de partment of commerce and while in contact with imiustriai leaders, in this country and abroad. The present often is desciibed as day of mergers and business co-ope ation on the widest scale. It has been reported even that American steel companies would like to join the European ste 1 cartel, if Amer ican federal law permitted such ac tion on their part. Not a few emin ent lawyers and economists hold that the anti-trust law of 1S90 needs sub stantial amendment so that there might be greater freedom in the forming e:f combines with consequent lowering e)f production costs and com modity prices for the benefit of con sumers. The position of the Hoover administration on this complicated problems remains to be defined. FLYING TO THE EXPOSITION MOTORISTS PAY ENOUGH 1? ... .......

In 192S, according to estimates of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, various state gasoline taxes netted ever $300,000,000. Increases voted in nearly every part of the country will boOst the figure this year to the neighborhood of $430,000,000. Obviously, the motorist ought to help pay for the good roads that his acttivitier. make necessary; and so long as the money is used for that purpose alone the situation isn't so bad. But some states are beginning to divert part of this revenue to If aviation in this country de velops with anything like the speed that the loaders in the industry are predicting and there isn't any very good reason for thinking it will not we are g ing to see a growth that will surprise us. Here's a sample. Chicago is going to hold a great international exposi tion in 1934. And aviation leaders are predicting now that Chicago's hotels will not be overcrowded, no matter how great the throngs that go to see it. Why? Because, they say, aviation will be so far developed by that time that visitors will stop in cities like Detroit, Cleveland, In dianapolis and St. Louh if they can not find accommodations in Chicago, and will fly back and forth to the exposition daily. That sounds almost incredible. Yet it is, obviously, quite within the realm rjf possibilities. The airplane may yet work as profound a change j in our social and economic organiza tion as the automobile has done. :o: A WORD FOR C-ANN NOTICE TO CREDITORS Mildred had a calf "Af A!

Yet, in motor ing across the country, there prob ably have been at least two or three times when you have hurried to cross a railroad track ahead of a train, so that you wouldn't have to wait.. What's that got to do with the value of seven seconds? Just this: Seven seconds is the average length of time it takes a fast railroad train to get by a crossing. It isn't a long period of time. Yet, in 192S, upward of 1000 motorists!51 matter by publishing were killed at grade crossings. They prized their seven seconds so highly that they paid with their lives for them. :o: A DANGEROUS PERSON Public comment shows a surprising degree of sympathy with Vice-President Curtis in standing up "sturd ily" for his sister in the row ever her "precedence" in official Wash ington society.

A few days since a jury on lunacy. sitting at Clarksdale, sent to the insane hospital a nine-year-old ne gro boy named James T. Coburn. Coburn, it seems, wants to burn everything in sight. Inother words, he is a pyromaniac, although appar ently normal in other respects. A patient of that sort can hardly be expectd a cordial welcome at the insane hospital in view of the fact that the institution has on several occasions recently escaped destruc tion by fire. They will no doubt keep this pick aninny under close surveillance and see to it that he does not indulge in his penchant for playing with fire. ro: Whoever had a scheme for farm relief got a chance to give the Sen ate advzice, for the agriculture com mittee of that body assembled three weeks ahead of the meeting of Con gress and invited all comers to come and show them.
