STRANGE THINGS
OVER RADIOS AT
THE SAME TIME
Things that can happen when
three radio stations come in on the
same wave length is said to be the
experience of a 'man who had just
installed a radio and had not learned
all of the fine points of eliminating
cross-currents. He tuned in getting
three stations on the same wave
length. One was a minister, one
was a man telling of the condition
of the roads, and third was a lecture
on poultry. Here is what he heard:
“The Old Testament tells us that
the baby chicks should detour one
mile south of Salina and listen to the
words of the prophets. Be'careful
in the selection of your eggs, and
you will find hard-surfaced roads Pn
to Garden City. We find in Gene-
sis that the roads are muddy just
west of the hen-house and clean
straw is essential if you would save
your soul.
“After passing through Leaven-
worth, turn north to Jericho. Three
Wise Men bought a large-size incu-
bator on account of a bad detour.
The baby chicks were troubled with
pip and the bond issue is talked of
in the Holy City. Keep the feet
clean and dry, life a life of righteous-
ness, and turn south one mile west
of the school-house. Much care

AN EXPERIENCE
TO REMEMBER
During the time of rising prices,
there was political agitation to force
fire insurance companies to lump
their investment profits in with their
underwriting profits on the ground
that the return shown thereby would
justify a reduction in fire insurance
rates, already the lowest in history.
While the argument had a plaus-
ible sound, the most casual examina-
tion would show its fallacy. Never-
theless, it had support from men in
high public positions.
It is probably not sportsmanlike to
say, “I told you so,” but this is too
good an example to let pass. What
would be happening to fire insur-
ance rates today if they were based
on investment profits?
There is no more sense in basing
the cost of writing fire insurance on
profit or loss from invested reserve
funds than there is in trying to base
the cost of raising potatoes on the
profit or loss to be derived from
raising a flock of sheep. In each
case, both operations are separate
and distinct.
The law of averages tells accu-
rately what fire losses can be expect-
ed on a certain type of property
over a given period of years. Rates
can be based accordingly. There is
absolutely no comparison, however,-
between possible investment profits
and losses and the known cost of
wxdting fire insurance. . r
What would have happened to the
stability of fire insurance companies
if their investment profits during
good times had been used to reduce
underwriting costs? There would
have been a merry mix-up under de-
pressed investment conditions. For-
tunately, ’political meddling was not
permitted.—Ex.
ficient, and do their work more
economically, than at any other time
in their existence but their earn-
ings have for years been below a
“Fair Return.”
Oil and gas pipe lines, buses and
trucks, airways and inland water-
ways, are all receiving a certain
amount of business that once went to
railroads. That these various car-
riers serve a useful purpose goes
without saying. But railroads are
our most regulated industry — and
their competitors, for the most part,
are either unregulated or regulation
is less severe. Mr. Robinson says,
‘‘Railroad men do not complain of
fair competition. They do protest
against unfair competition.”
The principal sufferers from the
situation at present are railroad em-
ployes and stockholders. But If rail-
road earnings continue to dwindle,
the public will feel the results in
lost taxes and lowered railroad serv-
ice—a service which is still and per-
haps always will be, the mainstay of
transportation.
There are two ways out—a more
liberal policy toward the railroads,
or subjecting other carriers to the
railroad type of regulation. The for-
mer course is probably the better
one from all standpoints, for too
much regulation has helped put the
railroads where they are today.—Ex.
TOO MUCH OF
ANY REGULATION
IS DISASTROUS
In a recent address on “The Chang-
ing Times,” F. W. Robinson, vice-
president of the Uniop Pacific Sys-
tem, reviews the present transporta-
tion situation.
He points out that when the rail-
roads were returned to private hands
after the war, a definite program of
construction was started with a view
to making the greatest possible im-
provement in service. As a result,
the American railroads are more ef-
EAST TEXAS HAS
T35 PRODUCING
OIL WELLS
Longview, Texas, June 3.—There
are now 735 producing oil wells in
the East Texas field, according to
figures compiled by the proration
umpires for the three pools in Gregg
and Rusk, Smith and Upshur Coun-
ties. On Sunday, May 31, there
were 721 wells. Fourteen have been
completed in the three fields since
then. *
The completion also shows that
there are 508 active drilling rigs
and a total of 96 new locations on
which work has not yet been started.
Four months ago today there were
only three producing wells in the
entire East Texas area, one in each
of the three pools.
The Kilgore pool leads with 319
producers, 249 active rigs and 38
new locations. The Joiner pool has
302 producing wells, 162 active tests
and 26 locations. The Lathrop pool
has 114 producers, 97 active tests
and 32 new locations.
By July 1 it is expected that there
will be more than 1000 producing
wells in the field and that by the
time the field is one year old, in
September, there will be more than
1500 producers. .
Although the field is usually’desig-
nated as three pools, there now is
only a single pool, producing wells
having connected the three areas
into one vast producing area, more
than 38 miles long and nine miles
wide on the North end.
