(UP) Total demand for all petroleums during 1935 3 as the greatest since 1929 and domestic consumption was the greatest in the history of the industry, it was disclosed tonight by William J.

Kemnitzer, petroleum technologist. His report showed prices were the highest since 1950 but only slightly improved over those of 1934. Despite this improvement, prices did not attain the levels warranted by conditions of supply and demand and the purchasing power of the dollar, Kemitzer pointed out. The analyst warned that unless the policy of restricting domestic production below total demand was halted, major companies will reap more profits with a corresponding handicap for smaller so-called "independent" operators.

The old year closed on a buoyant tone and the opening sessions of 1936 extended this gain, with individual stocks showing advances for the week ranging to nine points. Todays display of railroad strength was unexpected. Many traders had awaited President Roosevelt's speech to Congress before making commitments and at the opening today were still uncertain. feeling the speech had little market significance either way.

rations for the Jackson Day dinner, to be given next Wednesday at Clark Hotel, is reported by Dr. G. R. Henderson, president of the Stockton Democratic Club, which is sponsoring the affair. According to present indications said Dr.

Henderson, we are going to have a very delightful time at our Jackson Day dinner, and we hope that Democrats of San Joaquin county will respond to our invitation to join with us on this historic anniver-: sary, when members of the Democratic party by the countless thou-j sands will gather in similar fash- ion throughout the country, to pledge allegiance to the principles of Jefferson and Jackson." James A. Metcalf, secretary of the club and general chairman for the Jackson Day dinner, said the program for next Wednesday evening will present one unique feature, a round table discussion of President Roosevelts address to the joint session of the two houses of Congress. It is interesting to note varying reactions to what the President said, and at our Jackson Day dinner next Wednesday evening, we will give all who desire an opportunity to express opinions on the speech. This, however, will not be a long-drawn-out feature of our program. It will be conducted in rapid-fire fashion, with no individual permitted to consume more than one minute." AS for sentiment, most of us have it in some form.

The reason we do not find more evidence of it is that it is rated as a weakness instead of a gift. Most people lock it in air-tight containers and guard carefully against its escape. Others have it under governors and draw on it in a rational manner. Still oth-eis, like myself, fairly ooze senti-j ment. They let it clrip and leak at will.

As a result we are always having our feelings hurt by people who pride themselves with their dignified self-containment. Those of us who go dripping wet on sentiment, remind me of the gus tank on my old Reo. The gas seemed to run out faster than I could put it in; hence I dare not venture far from a filling station. So those of us who have un-governed tanks of sentiment must be always running back to our friends to draw on their sustaining assurance that they love us even if we are a little peculiar in the head.

In Miyor Fiorelio La Guardia's recent and supposedly successful war on artichoke racketeering, Terranova was told to stay out of New York City. He violated that order when he metered into the city from his mansion at Pelham Manor nnd police found "no visible means rf support," a handy charge of which to jail him. Patriotic citizens, giving honest thought to the perpetuity of American ideals, should be vitally interested at this time in tho efforts of large groups of our people to organize to win for themselves equal justice and such a degree of well-being as will enable them to maintain themselves and their families in comfort, security and health. These groups include wage earners, farmers and salaried workers. LONDON.

3 Offers Comedy Skit1 IVe are all conscious of the fact that there are employers of labor (so-called captains of industry) and workers in industry (so-called members of the proletariat) who take sharp issue with the doctrine of collective bargaining for labor. The Musical Whippersnappers, a comedy skit, will be presented Monday night at the meeting of Townsend Club 3 at Jefferson school auditorium. A radio ad-dies? from Los Angeles will be beard at the close of the meeting. The public invited. I DISASSOCIATE sentiment in its ordinary definition from the religious instinct and warm-hearted fiith in God and our fellows.

Sentiment, like love, may range all the way from baser instincts to tender ministrations of affection. But religious beliefs make for stability of purpose, fidelity to duty and all the good deeds that flow fiom a merciful heart. In my dull, dense, uncultured state I am unable to see anything hut religion that distinguishes man from the brute creation. I am unable to ee any reason for life unless man has a soul that came from the Infinite and will return in its individual entity to His Presence. And instead of $uch faith making one sad it should make him joyous in ordering his life so as to be worthy of his eternal destiny.

While the employers and employees represented in these two groups are themselves as far apart as the poles upon all other questions peculiar to modern industry, they are united in their opposition to dollective bargaining. The employers in this group are opposed to collective bargaining because they believe that ownership in industry is supreme, superceding all other rights, and that this is the only authority recognizable in industry. in both theory and charter provision, the Minager is to be left free of dictation, it is equally true that the Council selects tne Manager. Kence if the Manager does not do that which in the judgment of the Council the people want done, it is not only the right but the duty of the Council to intervene, either by declaiations of policy made in open Council oi by providing a Manager to whom such directions are not necessary. The point I am trying to make is, no matter what impractical theories about Managerships may be popularized by academic statements, the plain fact is that all responsibility for municipal affairs falls, finally, on the Council.

While it true, The ones who constitute this other group are opposed to collective bargaining because they assert it means wage slavery. They preach class war and class struggle. They are opposed to the existing social order.

The enjoyment of high wages and humane conditions of employment by the workers, gained through the medium of trade unionism, is regarded by this second group as an obstacle in the way of progress, while poverty and suffering are looked upon as stepping stones to their success. Through poverty and hardship, this group seeks recruits from the ranks of disorganized farmers as well as disorganized workers. This fact was brought out recently by a local farm leader, who, while urging a group of growers to organize following a collapse of the sweet potato market, is quoted by the press as saying, in part: Some idea is gained of the forced con tribution which growers are making to'thc glorification of individual rights. This sort of experience (disorganization) is exactly the kind which communistic influences seek to force upon farmers so to make them more susceptible to their propaganda.
