PROMOTION OF STATE URGED BY FREDRICK Hoosiers Overlook Blessings, Says Senatorial Candidate. “The people of Indiana have been so absorbed in converting material endowment into wealth that they have overlooked the many other blessings which are esential to comfort and happiness,” declared John E. Fredrick of Kokomo, candidate for Democratic nomination for Senator, at a meeting of the Rotary Club at Seymour Tuesday night. Fredrick urged that Hoosiers change their habits, awaken to the natural advantages which they possess and attempt to develop the State so it will appeal to a composite character representative of all the people of the State. He pointed out that in so doing Indiana would attract persons from outside its borders, promote manufacturing and building and create a greater* market for the products of the farmer. Support of the Great Lakes waterway project and of projects for making the Ohio a better waterway were urged on the theory that water transit promotes lower transportation costs and these projects would bring Indiana in closer touch with more distant markets. Appreciation of the opportunities offered for manufacturing by rea-

son of the development of electric power in large quantities and over widespread territory was urged. He said the State could feed a population much greater than existed and application of available power -would result in the industrial development which is the key to prosperity of the farming interests.

“Every opportunity should be given for the expression of energy that it might commute itself into wealth, but thought and attention should also be given to those higher ideals which are essential for happiness, pleasure and comfort, which, after all. are the goals of life.”

Since 1913 the price of potatoes has increased enormously, while the price of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gasoline has increased but slightly. This statement is confirmed by authentic statistics. The United States Department of Labor 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 gasoline. Twelve years later, on November 15* 1925, the average retail price of potatoes in Chicago was $.05 per pound, or $3.00 per bushel. As the Chicago tank wagon 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 18 3 4 gallons of gasoline, or 11 3 4 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 against such a startling decrease in supply, without greatly increased cost to consumers, would seem , totally impossible and against all economic law. Yet that is precisely the achievement that stands to the credit of the oil industry and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular. It was accomplished by doubling the yield of gasoline from crude by means of advanced refining processes, discovered and developed in the research laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). These processes were leased in turn to competitive refineries, that they also might help to make the available crude meet the demand. In this way the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) passed on the benefit of its tremendous investment in research to the entire consuming public in the form of continiied low gasoline prices. i The problems of x the oil industry are as great today as they have been in the past The demand for gasoline continues to increase. The supply of crude per car continues to decrease. What is to be done? 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.
