The people’s interest. is against monopoly, whether that monopoly is established by all interested in the oil industry, or by any particular group. “The people are not in the oil business, but by ‘their votes on May 8, they must either protect themselves from threatened monopoly, or elect to enjoy the further benefits of free competition which makes it possible for the gasoline buyers of California to enjoy a true competitive price for gasoline. The present price is a fair example of the benefits of open competition. The price of 27 cents a gal. lon, no tax,» when the major oil corporations gained control of the gasoline market some years ago is what may be expected if the legal powers of the state are placed in the hands — of the industry to regulate production, and thereby fix prices. “Few persons in California are interested in any quarrel between maj ors and independents in the oil industry. That is their problem. But when the voters 6f the state are asked to pass upon a law whose one purpose is to give one of the parties to this oil controversy control of production, with no thought to the public’s place ‘ in the picture, that appears to_be aske.___. ing too much. Y “A fair and reasonable price for gasoline is not opposed. by our associj ation. To put, however, the legal power within the. industry, whether the power is lodgéd With majors. or independents, to control production without at the same time controlling price, is too dangerous an adventure in legislation. : “Ficures, authentic in the inauktry; ; prove that there is no overproduction ~ of oil in California. The present price of gasoline is therefore a true competitive price. Why vote into effect. any act to change favorable conditions to the consumers of gasoline? “Our association asks all voters to vote on May 3 and vote NO on OIL ~ CONTROL, Proposition No. 1 on the ballot.” Uncie Henry Hawkins Sez: I don’t want to get off on the wrong foot. I only got two, an’ what at right is left. Being in California is about the best place a man can be these hard times. I could have toid you that a long time ago. This here State of California has a way of taking care of herself—of because she is so beautiful—but boys and girls, old and young, we've got something on the rest of the country, outside of climate, and that we have in large measure. : * *¢ & As fur as my recollection goes, an’ don’t ask me to tell you how fur back that goes, we Californians have been perfectly able to take care of our own business. Lots of pecple more or less honest, have’to!d us how to run the state. Not only that, but at one time a New York owned corporation came in and ran the state for us. This predatory bunch were kicked out of office by a fearless Governor, an’ I don’t mind telling you his name was Hiram Johnson. es * & Hiram, God bless his fighting spirit, is now our Senator in Washington, and trying his best to protect one of our great industries, the production, refining and marketing of oil an’ gasoline, by asking for a tariff on this foreign produced oil. * *£ ¢& Do you know that the same corporations which are backing the Sharkey Oil Control measure, Proposition No. ¥ on the ballot, are the same national and international corporations which are importing peon-produced oilinto the United States, on the Atlantic seaboard, and robbing California of its oil market? **-_* Of course you don’t, and just the same as Hiram kicked the political machine built wp by a railroad com“out? of the: state? so the” voters, guided by the course of Hiram, are going to this SHARKey Bill, sponsored by the same predatory interests that once had California by the tail, out of our State of California by their votes on OLL CONTROL— and that’s what it is, brothers and gisters, control for the benefit of the big fellows. Gosh, I don’t need to'tell you to vote NO on Proposition No. 1 en the ballot on May 8. You've. got enough common sense for that. Just tell your friends and neighbors to do the same thing, and then we'll be happy becauge we've got the independent competition which would be wiped out of existence if this proposition should become a law. We know that competition is the life of trade, and, thank you. we are setting our gasoline quite feasonable. ese & kick Just a serious. note. We don’t want any more poor follows thrown out of jobs. ‘The OIL CONYROL bill, as you find it on the ballot, means the finish of independent oi! production in the State of California. This is no guess. I have looked/into it, and it is true. Don't vote to throw any more poor fellows, lots of them with wives and babies, out of a job You may be far removed from oil production. But think of these workers—darn good workers they/are, too—and don’t vote to fatten the’ dividends of stockholders at their expense. : s * & 1 said we didn’t want any outside interference in our own affairs. Why does. this Alfalfa Bill Murray, of Oklahoma, send out a broadcast over the air on the time of the Standard Oil Company of New York? Why did Governor Sterling, of Texas, the former president of the’ Standard Oil subsidiary in Texas, do the same thing? Don't you think that’s coming it a little bit strong for we Californians? » 2 * Oh, well, as the Governor of Texas said t® the Governor of Oklahoma, if we can make those saps in California vote for OIL. CONTROL, Proprosition No. 1 on their ballot,. how pretty we'll be settin’ to produce more oil in our states. 1% Honest, ain’t the voters of CaliforYUBA RIVER COUNTRY By 7 L. WOLFF. (Continued From Last Week) After some switch backs we pass a small hydraulic diggings before reaching “‘Cold Spring.’’ As we stop to dfink we hear a slow succession of hammer like blows on the small pipe line. These are caused by a small hydraulic ram, a water operated pump, just below which boosts a stream of water up to the home and store-of the Bullington”’s. The-prin=— cipal of the pump consists of utilizing the pressure in a large pipe of water coming from the spring te boost a smaller line full of water up the other side of the ravine. Beyond at the Log Cabin, another road turns off to Bullard’s Bar Dam—six Miies away. It is a side trip well worth while to see the immense dam, the top of which serves as a bridge for crossing the North Fork of the Yuba. Up stream from here the famous gold camps of 1850 and 512 such as Foster’s Bar, Mississippi Bar, used to hum with activity. Here miners pried the virgin gold out of crevices in the bedrock with butcher knives, forks, and any other instrument that would serve the purpose. At Foster’s Bar the saloon keeper was also the postmaster and even the “Sons of Temperance” had to patronize him—when postage back east used to cost 40 cents prepaid and the stamps consisted of ‘“Foster’s Bar, »Cal.— Paid 40” being written on the outside of the folded letter by the postmaster, when min. ers who were particular about their mail sent it by express to San Francisco—or had an expressman call for their mail at that point and then bring it to them at the mines. Too frequently letters were lost by the totany: inadequate: postal services: sae Thesé’ particular camps are now under water /due to the dam. We continue along the Yuba Pass highway and/just before coming to Camptonville find the road skirting along the edge of Oregon Creek can-yon, Looking down we soon see, far below, the Oregon falls. We come to aystop and shutting off the engine, the roar of the water comes floating up out of the canyon. Looking up--and ahead we see before us the roofs of Camptonville which will be the subject of our next bulletin. Serene in the sunshine of eastern Yuba county lies the old town of Camptonville, high up on the divide between the Middle and the North Forks of the Yuba river on the old trail that .in pioneer days led from Marysville through Camptonville, Nigger Tent, Mountain House to Downieville, the canyon om one side ,and the Henness Pass over the high Sierra’s on the other. .
