ADVERTISEMENTS The Policy of - The Standard - Oil Compan SRR ST : (Indiana) : IT IS the policy of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana to conduct its busi- ness 1n fairness to all: to the consumer, to the employe, to the stockholder and to the competitor. To deal fairly with the consumer by manufacturing the best petroleum products, distributing them widely and selling them at lowest prices. To deal fairly with the employe by fiiving him steady work, compensating im liberally, and as far as possible, insuring him against unemployment. To deal fairly with the competitor by standing squarely on the broad, gen- eral principle of live and let live—by maintaining open prices and never de- viating from them. The Standard Oil Company knows that, by reason of its refining and dis- tribution facilities, -and the service it renders to customers, it has no need to disorganize the market to get its fair share of the business. That is all it expects and wants. It is because of adherence to these gen- eral policies that the Company has prospered, and the Directors have been able to give a creditable accounting of their trusteeship to the 4623 stock- holders who have money invested in the Company.

The writer has Mr. Norton’s old committees on Indian affairs and alcoholic liquors. The national legislators divide nat- urally into two groups regardless of party affiliations. There are those who seem to sincerely believe that government exists for the benefit of the few; that if the few are prosper- ous, prosperity, like the rain from h&aven, will trickle through and find its way to all the people underneath. Others believe that the strength and welfare of the nation springs from those who toil. The two groups look at all national questions from oppo- site positions. One legislates for the special interests, the other for all the people. NONPARTISANISM STRONG, BUT FOR SELFISH PURPOSE The spirit of nonpartisanism is here quite as pronounced as in North Da- kota, but from a different motive. The special privilege group does not fol- low party lines for selfish reasons. The progressive group is small and unorganized and as yet acting within their respective parties. They have not a well-defined program toward which all are working. The bourbon element is in control of the Demo- cratic party at present, notwithstand- ing the former. splendid legislative achievements’ of the Wilson adminis- tration. Much of “that progressive legislation was accomplished by the aid of Republican votes, and it could not now be passed with the aid of the Democratic party alene. The Republican party is also under the influence of the reac- tionary element and the friends of reform can not expect any real ad- vanced legislation from it the coming session. Whenever spe- cial privilege needs votes to pass a bill they are forthcoming with- out regard to either party. Any seeming progressive legislation will be but a concession for sup- port at the polls in the 1920 cam- paign—a mess of pottage, so to speak, but while “the voice may be Jacob’s,” the hand will still be that of Esau. UNFAIR PRESS KEEPS LEGISLATORS SHACKLED Men in public life are much the same wherever you find them—always with an ear to the ground to hear from the home -constituency. =~ Nearly all are afraid of adverse criticism. And it is the unfair and often false criti- cism of the ‘controlled press of the country that keeps many -a right- thinking and honest legislator from coming out openly, in the interest of the people. The happenings in congress are carefully censored by the corporate press. Only such news as is to its in- terests are published. A spring will rise no higher than its fountain head. That is equally true of public serv- ants. - A lawmaker can not rise above the news service of his constituency. If his district is dominated by the kept press, you may be sure he is a conservative and does nothing to draw the criticism of the special interests. If we are to have a higher order of legislation it can only be brought about by the organization of the pro- ducers and workers and the establish- ment and control of their own news- papers. Then with an organization of his fellow workers behind him, like the farmers’ Nonpartisan league, a lawmaker is independent of the cor- porate press and we can have legis- lation for all the people and subservi- ency to the “select classes of man- “kind” will be unknown in the halls of congress. _ PAGE FOURTEEN -Q cially treated ADVERTISEMENTS AM starting my big summer school in Fargo, June 2, and everyone who is interested in becoming an expert mechanic should try to ate tend at that time.
