AN AMERICANIST VIEWPOINT Continued from page 2 available in sufTicient quantities to bring in new sources as rapidly as needed. The report of the Federal Power Commission rejected the proposition that more gas could be produced from existing fields and wells. It also rejected the charge that natural gas was being held back to create a shortage and push up prices. The petroleum industry in the United States has provided a greater abundance of motor fuel and at much lower prices than any other country in the world. Notwithstanding this most significant fact, the persecution of the companies continues. If not checked, in time it will produce the shortages and the much higher prices that we fear. The evidence of this may be seen from the fact that the Shell Oil Company alone filed 522 reports to the federal government last year, costing 106,881 man-daor 475 man-yea- rs at a total annual cost of approximately $17 million. Think of it, my fellow citizens, an army of 475 men working all year just to fill out reports for one company not counting reports to the Internal Revenue Service. Multiply this by all of the companies of similar size in the United States and we get a staggering figure of lost manpower and billions of Vk GRACE Now that election time is near, the politicians are scrambling to calm the irate There arent taxpayers. many taxpayers who resent any needy person receiving aid, but those who will not work can send the good taxpayers into orbit. A prime example is a postman, who prefers to remain nameless for very good reasons.

ANSWER: Repeal the regulative agencies and save the American people a total of about $130 billion a year. The unhappy postman tells of his disgust each month as he delivers all of sorts government assistance checks. Along with those welfare checks, he delivers bills from some of the largest department stores in Washington, bills from Master Charge and American and Express, expensive magazines, etc. Over half of the postmans customers are on welfare, but in his opinion very few of them deserve the fat checks he has to deliver. He says: They snatch the check faster than you can put it in the mail slot, then nearly run you down with their brand new cars going to cash Economics Department NORTHWOOD INSTITUTE YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!!

In Prince Georges County alone over 10,000 welfare checks are delivered each month. Multiply that by every other county in the U.S. and it begins to hit all of our pocketbooks. How long will the taxpayers- put up with the graft and abuse that is obvious to everyone? After observant the postman blew his stack, he began contacting his own - representatives PETROLEUM INDUSTRY J. McKinnon Smith, Editor THE UTAH INDEPENDENT waca in Washington. The results were zero. He said he could paper his wall with the form letters he received, but the action was noticeably missing. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey was cordially invited by the postman, to accompany him on his rounds, so he could see what with the goes Of taxpayers money. course, the invitation was ignored, but what a brilliant idea it was. Politicians do knock on doors while campaigning, so why not demand that all of them travel around with his own postman just one day each month welfare check day?
