SCHEME TO SWAT THE GASOLINE TRUST Movement on Foot to Organize Refinery With 1000 Stockholders If 1000 or more citizens of California wish to put up $100 each for the purpose of starting a refinery for the production of gasoline, the state corporation department will not stand in their way, even though the promoters of the enterprise appear to know little or nothing about the business. But the department will insist that when the necessary number of subscriptions have been secured the stockholders themselves, and not the promoters, shall control the enterprise. Commissioner of Corporations H. L. Carnahan has laid down this rule in issuing a permit authorizing the Gasoline Consumers' association, a California corporation, with an authorized capital stock of $1,000,000 to sell its shares. The promoters propose to sell only one share of the par value of $100 to any one subscriber and estimate that an initial investment of not less than $75,000 is necessary to start the business successfully. The permit issued recites that the evidence submitted to the department shows that none of the promoters "has any special experience in or capacity for developing, managing or operating such a business, or any special knowledge of the oil refining industry," also that no detailed plan for the operation of the company or its business has been presented. For these reasons it is made a condition of the permit that the subscriptions shall not become effective for any purpose to create any liability on the part of the subscriber until not less than 1,000 bona fide subscriptions have been secured from responsible subscribers. It is made a further condition that no part of the purchase individual would pay a yearly tax for sickness insurance, and the doctors would be remunerated by the state. A stage preceding this will probably be the hiring of physicians by individuals and families on yearly contracts. The physician will be paid so much a month or year to keep the patient well. No diminution will be allowed during health, no increase during sickness. It is not very unlike the Chinese system by which the physician is paid during the health of the patient, but his fees are stopped upon the approach of illness. This would put a stop to the abuses of the fee system. The doctor wouldn't starve if his people were well, nor would he keep on coming unnecessarily, nor would unnecessary operations be advised. This plan is growing in favor among medical men. Dr. Otto V. Huffman advised it before a convention in Chicago this winter, and a bill for compulsory health insurance is to be introduced into the Ohio legislature next winter. NEW NOTES OF COUNTY Record Breaker In Oil: The month of June just closed has been a record month for the oil operators in the California fields, and the southern part of the state has added its share of development work to round out the big record. The Fullerton field has contributed nobly, and at the present time development work is looking up strong. A number of companies are doing a lot of work, and some of the larger operators are planning on immediate new work. It is believed that the price of crude will raise a little in the near future, as the storage supply is being diminished.

THE 1912 S For these reasons it is made a condition of the permit that the subscriptions shall not become effective for any purpose to create any liability on the part of the subscriber until not less than 1,000 bona fide subscriptions have been secured from responsible subscribers. It is made a further condition that no part of the purchase price shall be paid or become payable except upon a call made by the board of directors of the association, all of the members of which shall have been elected at a special meeting of the subscribers. The promoters of the enterprise are to receive a commission of not more than 20 per cent for their services in securing the subscriptions, but, as none of the money is available, they cannot cash in until not less than $100,000 par value of the company's shares have been subscribed. The shares are to be sold in Los Angeles and at other points in Southern California. AUTOS INCREASING There were 186,116 motor cars licensed in California at the end of last week, with license fee receipts totaling $1,980,445, according to the following figures issued by Superintendent H.

Every effort is being made by the producing companies to keep the producing wells up to their highest efficiency. Crippled Car Runs Away:— While out to a ranch near Thurin on a business mission, G. Dessens of Newport had a breakdown with his car and sent in a wireless call for help, which was promptly responded to by Fred H. Sickler, of the Newport Garage. The break was repaired sufficiently to allow towing the car to the city, but not until they were on the down grade just north of the bridge did Mr. Dessens notice that his brakes refused to work. Gathering momentum every second, the disabled car shot ahead at a Barney Oldfield pace, which allowed the driver ahead but faced by demands from the company that would impose on the country an annual $100,000,000 a year, the railroads proposed reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employees, whose efforts have no differences that could not be considered a public body. Railroads Urge Publication The formal proposal of the railroad controversy is as follows: "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot matters in controversy must be passed upon by other proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed to consider and protect the rights and equities necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce that we jointly request Congress to take such action as promptly dispose of the questions involved; or" Federal Railroad Infant mortality crease in California rate for young children in California states.

Should we enter into a war with Mexico, it is apparent that there is no net balance available for the purpose. This would necessitate the devising of additional means of taxation. DOCTORS ON YEARLY CONTRACT That the physician of the future will work under a contract system was predicted by a speaker at the recent convention of the Ohio State Medical Association. He explained what he thought was an ideal system. Each ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1916 Packard and other prominent automobile engineers favor motor oils from Western crude. Exposition juries at San Francisco and San Diego gave highest competitive awards to Zerolene—an oil from Western crude. Zerolene is the best oil for your motor because scientifically refined from selected California crude—asphalt-base. Government experts tell us that oils correctly refined from asphalt-base crude “distill without decomposition” [do not break up and lose their lubricating value under cylinder heat] and are “much better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon-forming proclivities are concerned, than are paraffine-base Pennsylvania oils.” When you empty the crank-case refill with Zerolene. Dealers everywhere and at service stations and agencies of the Standard Oil Company. ZEROLENE the Standard Oil for Motor Cars THE 1912 STAY-AT-HOMES It is generally known that the company progressive vote exceeded that of the democrats: Kansas, 10,500; Indiana, 66,400; Missouri, 17,300; Nebraska, 17,300; New Jersey, 34,600; New York, 50,367; North Dakota, 8000; Ohio, 81,000; Pennsylvania, 47,000; Wisconsin, 57,000. Favorite Saloon L. Wisser, Mgr. Choicest of Wines THE 1912 STAY-AT-HOMES It is generally known that the combined Taft-Roosevelt vote of 1912 exceeded that of Wilson by 1,211,444 and that the distribution was such that a united republican party would have swept the country. It is less generally known that the total vote for all candidates, democratic, progressive, republican, Socialist, prohibition and socialist labor, was only 148,100 more than in 1908, notwithstanding the increase in population and the addition of 23,722 votes from Arizona, the 49-376 from New Mexico and the woman vote of Washington and California. When these are deducted the total vote for president in 1912 was 395,807 less than in 1908. The stay-at-homes were distributed as follows in states in which the combined republican and progressive vote exceeded that of the democrats: Kansas, 10,500; Indiana, 66,400; Missouri, 17,300; Nebraska, 17,300; New Jersey, 34,600; New York, 50,367; North Dakota, 8000; Ohio, 81,000; Pennsylvania, 47,000; Wisconsin, 57,000. There weer also 37,000 in Kentucky which voted so closely on governor last fall. There were 7400 in Maryland and 4400 in Nevada, very close states. There was no reason why Democrats could not support Wilson in 1912. The Socialist vote nationally grew from 420,793 in 1908 to 901,873 in 1912. It is natural to suppose that the stay-at-homes were republicans, who did not feel like voting for either Taft or Roosevelt. The number was much larger than the figures given, for there must have been a gain in population in the states mentioned. There was a gain of votes in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Oregon, where there was active anti-democrat leadership. General Inquiry or Railroad Strike? Demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $2 million; the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by partial Federal tribunal. Employees, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of its follows: The demonstration that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your position of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: Passion to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a position to protect the rights and squities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and prevent the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises. Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and questions involved; or accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act).

But if the division be on the lines of 1912, the democrats may hold their own, acquire liberal progressive support and still lose thirty-two of the forty-eight states. At this stage of the proposal of the railroads to the employees for the settlement of issues follows: We demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies.

Us Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote We train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration and the employees are now voting on the question whether given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. State Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: such an intimate knowledge has such an unquestioned postidence. ands may charge the public for largely fixed by this Governreceived by the railroads from self is paid directly to the employees as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public. The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its control over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would protest the interests of the railroad employees, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Question For the Public to Decide We feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of or to these employees, now highly paid and constituting only employees, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that merits of the case after a review of all the facts. Due before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an inquiry or by industrial warfare. National Conference Committee of the Railways G. H.
