©STY TO FIGHT FOR EQUIPMENT I OF POLICE BAND Prepare Replevin Suit Against Former Director —Statement Made. "Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey?” Board of safety members recalled those words from an £)ld song and hoped 'William T. Bailey, former assistant city attorney and director of the Police and Firemen’s band, would ‘‘come home” with approximately $4,500 worth of band-instru-ments and uniforms he retained. Bailey, incensed because the present board refuses to allow police and ti remen to play in the band on the city’s time, has made no response to a letter from the board asking return of equipment. Donald Roberts, assistant city attorney, is preparing a replevin suit against Bailey to obtain possession of the “sharps and flats machines.” A letter from Bailey states the city has no claim on the property. “It is my intention to make proper use of the equipment for civic good, in consideration of the public support to my efforts to operate what I believed to be an organization for the good of Indianapolis,” the letter said. “I am assured by the men who played in the band and sincerely for fche project that I will have no difficulty in again seuring their services.”

THAT the cost of living has increased in the last twelve years is beyond question. It will be illuminating and interesting to review the facts and reduce them to terms of gasoline. Let’s base our case on statistics published by the United States Department of Labor in the Monthly Labor Review, dealing with the average retail price of food products in various cities during the period referred to. We use 1913—the last year of normal, pre-war prices —as a basis for comparison with the latter part of 1925. We select milk as a typical staple commodity and Chicago as arepresentative city of the Middle West On November 15,1913, the average retail price of fresh milk, in Chicago, was 32c per gallon, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was 1416 c per gallon. On that day, one gallon of milk would buy 2 1-5 gallons of gasoline. On November 15,1925, the average retail price of fresh milk, in Chicago, was 56c per gallon, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was 16c per gallon. On that day, one gallon of milk would buy exactly 3 Yi gallons of gasoline. In other words,onegallonof milk would buynearly 60% more gasoline in 1925 than it would in 1913. Stated another way—during this twelve year period, the price of milk has increased 75%, while gasoline increased but 10.3%. The price asked for milk is’in line with the price of commodities generally, but the fact remains that, by comparison, the price of gasoline is very low. This is more remarkable when it is known that the consumption of gasoline increased more than 500%, while the production of crude, from which gasoline is made, increased only 190% during the period, while the average price of crude advanced from $.9438 to $1.80078 per bbl. In no industry does the law of supply and demand operate more decisively than in the petroleum industry, and the balancing of these two factors is an accomplishment of which the industry generally, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular, may be proud. How was it accomplished? Largely through advanced refining processes developed in the research laboratories of this Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) discovered and developed processes for cracking petroleum which doubled the yield of gasoline from a given amount of crude. And, following its established practice, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has passed the advantages of its greater efficiency on to its customers —the consuming public. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has profound faith in the expressed appreciation of the public, both for the effort it has made and the success it has achieved, in keeping the price of gasoline so low.
