WOOLLEN TELLS 1 BANKERS ABOUT FARMPROBLEMS Speaks at Annual Meeting of State Association at Lafayette. _ LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 22. Evans Woollen, president of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, Indianapolis, spoke today at the annual meeting of the Indiana Bankers Association on “The Agricultural Problem.” The speaker, who discussed existing troubles of agriculture from many angles, is chaii - man of the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association and is Democratic candidate for the United States Senate to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Ralston. Mr. Woollen’s address, in part, follows: "Social solidarity (find economic strength in the United States are based on the farm. Economic Gulf “Since 1920 an economic gulf between agriculture and other business undertakings has been of serious proportions. It has great significance. It concerns the Mississippi Valley in a special manner. By all tests this keritage of land ought to be without superior as a source of material gain for its occupants. t “Two aspects of the farm problem appear on the economic side. The farmer, by his patriotic endeavor to win the war with food, stimulated agriculture <o abnormal production. “The- long-term aspect of the problem goes back into the last century. The complaint then in some quarters was that agriculture was so attrac- . tive that capital would not flpw into ■ industry on the scale desired. Asa consequence of that and. other argu-

ments our national policy since the Civil War has favored manufacturing. Tax Problems “Direct, as well as indirect taxes, have bearing too on the problem. “On machinery, fertilizer, clothing and other manufactured goods that the fax-m requires, railroad freight charges are higher than they were ten years ago. "The three outstanding factors in the agricultural problem are then the favoring attitude toward industry assumed by our Government, a taxing system that bears unduly on the land, and the control of transportation rates. “In and of itself, the farm is rising to the emergency. But the farm, in and of itself, cannot, unless it should succeed ip establishing monopolistic control over its products, remedy maladjustment arising out of. our national molicy of industrial stimulation, our taxing system and our control of transportation,rates.

Approximately 2,842,000,000 gallons of gasoline were produced from heavier oils by the use of cracking processes in 1925, according to an information circular issued by the U. S. Bureau ofMines. Assuming that 400 gallons of gasoline represents the fuel requirements of. the average car per year, the Bureau of Mines’ statement means that the development of cracking processes, in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a leader, was responsible in 1925 for adding to the world’s output, a year’s supply of gasoline for 7,060,000 automobiles. Measured thus in terms of automobile transportation, the relation of the cracking process to modem life is readily understood. Its importance can be better appreciated by some knowledge of the problem it has helped to solve. During the ten year period, 1916 to 1925, the production of crude oil increased 152% while the number of cars and trucks registered increased 472%. \ * A tremendous increase in demand for gasoline, the finished product, without a corresponding increase in the supply of crude, the raw material, presented a real problem.- / \ Experts predicted there would not be enough gasoline to go around and that prices would soar prohibitively. Today with approximately 21,000,000 registered automobiles in the country, it is obvious that their predictions would have materialized but for a revolutionary discovery. Scientists in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) discovered and developed processes for producing gasoline by cracking which more than doubled the yield from crude oil. * The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) leased the processes which belonged to it exclusively, to competitors. That the 21,000,000 motorists in the United States today are able to buy all the gasoline they nefcd at a low price is due in large measure to the scientific work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and its integrity of purpose in passing on the benefits of that work. This important scientific service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is but one incident in its long recorckof unwavering loyalty to the motoring public. 4 4 The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of the work it has done, for it believes that any contribution to the work of the world—large or small —justifies a legitimate pride when it represents the utmost ability of an individual or an organization. The extent of the service which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) wishes to render to the thirty million people of the Middle West is limited only by its ability. \ Standard Oil Company ( Indiana ) General Office: Standard Oil Building > 910 So.
