Well the basketball season is over. Now its time to turn our attention to other matters of interest and importance. Comes the spring clean-up, Easter, the primary elections, graduating time and a lot of things wliich will require attention. j _ .. ——— Every page* of the congressional record printed costs the government forty-eight dollars, it has been officially announced. Here's another opportunity to save a million or two a year for if any benefits come from all the bunk in the record we would like to know what it is. It has been suggested that the Countess of Cathcart could put over her play “Ashes of Loive,” which failed after the first performance, by reproducing the famous bathtub scene recently staged in New York City and then a number of other folks could "show off." Spring arrived yesterday as per schedule and was smilingly welcomed.

The winter while perhaps not as severe as many before it, has been long and tiresome and expensive. Any way there is something about the arrival of the spring season which makes it a more outstanding event than the coming of any other season. The republicans will make their campaign this year on the record of Governor Jackson. Fair enough, lets go. That includes the removal of Earl Crawford from the state highway commission, the governor s connection with Stephenson, the increased taxes and all the other things which have occurred and which should furnish plenty of material for a live democratic organization. A Dr. Reiter, of Philadelphia, died a year ago and left a will in which he bequeaths one dollar to his wife and recommends that she buy a rope and hang herself, adding that she had nagged him twenty-five years. The rest of the estate according to the will which has just been found, is given to charity. Now wasn t he a brave guy? If he was able to stand nagging twenty-five years while alive he ought to manage along while dead. The Commodores are alright and while it is regretted that they again lost in the semi-finals, they made a good showing and proved their right to the state championship, defeating Fort Wayne in the most sensational game of the tournament Saturday evening. Twice they have reached the semi-championship turn and each time have put up a splendid contest. No one needs to be or is ashamed of the showing made by the Decatur team. It was wonderful for only the very best teams are admitted in the tournament and every game was a strenuous fight from start to finish. By the way if you are thinking of becoming a candidate in the primaries, you will have to file your name with the county clerk soon. The time will be up in a couple of weeks and then the fights will be on in earnest. In the democratic ranks in this county they promise to be interesting. tVe hope those interested in the old party will see that the right men are chosen as members of the central committee, that an active, fighting organization is made upon a sound platform and that the greatest effort

And of course we urge you to select as your candidates the best men for each office. Os that you must be the Judge and the majority should rule. The Indianapolis city council has adopted a segregation ordinance which prevents negroes residing in white residential districts. Os course the colored folks don't like that and are expressing vengeance towards the republican party in power there, for permitting it. At the same time another factional fight which may become statewide Is that between the Shumaker and Gilliom partisans over the wet and dry enforcement and nonenforcement. • Politicians are busy trying to straighten these and other problems out before the priniary and general election but they find it tough going. Add to this the animosity steadily increasing as a result of the fights for senatorial nomination and you will soon feel sure that the coming campaign will be one with enough thrills to suit most any one. And notwithstanding, a number of the republican papers daily bemoan the fact that the democrats have no issues. We presume the republicans have but we haven't the least idea what they are. Students of economics declare that the average man and woman of today

is not bothering about laws, taxes, privilege or other questions which have always been uppermost. Today privilege walks unmolested in Washington. giving subsidies, rebates, reductions and monopoly to its favorites and no one utters protest. Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, asked why, replied that his investigations show that leadership against these things are lacking because there is no support from the people who care for nothing excepting a comfortable apartment, an automobile and enough money to go to the picture shows. Thats about the size of it, but the sad part is that gradually wealth and monopoly are getting control of affairs that make them dangerous. Os course the pendulum will swing back and it may come any time now. It is almost certain to come within the next two to four years for pleasure will pall atfter a time, we will begin to feel the effects of the present form of government and then privilege will be quickly knocked from his "high horse" as he was in 1912. o" 1 ” S TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K M 54 S From the Daily Democrat File K 15 Twenty Yeara Ago Thia Day K ”:::::::::::::: xx s s:: k " March 22, 1906. — Attorney C.

Gasoline and Potatoes Since 1913 the price of potatoes has increased enormously, while the price of Standard Oil Com- /* pany (Indiana) gasoline has increased hut slightly. This statement is confirmed by authentic statistics. The United States Department of I jbor gives the average retail price of potatoes in Chicago on November 15, 1913, as $.017 per pound or $1.02 per bushel. The tank wagon price of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gasoline in Chicago on the same day was $. 145 per gallon. From these figures we find that a bushel of potatoes in 1913 purchased a trifle more than 7 gallons of gascline. Twelve years later, on November 15, 1925, the average retail price of potatoes in Chicago was $.05 per pound, or $3.00 per bushel. I As the Chicago tank w agon price of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gasoline, on the same day, was $.16 per gallon, we find that, on that day, one bushel of potatoes purchased gallons of gasoline, or 11? J gallons more in 1925 than in 1913. Stating it another way, potatoes advanced in price 194% during the last twelve years, while the price of gasoline advanced only 10.3%. This record is the more remarkable when it is considered that, in 1913. there were 194 barrels of crude oil produced per registered car. while, in 1925, production had shrunk to only 38 barrels of crude per registered car. To balance such a spectacular growth of demand i against such a startling decrease in supply, without , | greatly increased cost to consumers, would seem j totally impossible and against all economic law. ■ ■ I Yet that is precisely the achievement that stands i | to the credit of the oil industry and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular. It was accomplished by doubling the yield of I gasoline from crude by means of advanced refining processes, discovered and developed in the research laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). , I These processes were leased in turn to competitive refineries, that they also might help to make the . I available crude meet the demand. In this way the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) passed on the I benefit of its tremendous investment in research to the entire consuming public in the form of continued [ low gasoline prices. • • The problems of the oil industry are as great today as they have been in the past. j The demand for gasoline continues to increase. The supply of crude per car continues to decrease. What is to be done? f Questions like this the Standard Oil Company , (Indiana) must answer. It will be aided in answering them by the experience of years, by friendly co- . operation within and without the organization, and by the faith that high ideals backed by earnest effort must win. i 11 Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
