On This Day | A Prescient Position On Many Levels

Our own state has carried on extensive experiments and the government has carried out the work of experimentation to a considerable extent. The Independent believes that the government should bear the cost of these experiments and not the individuals. As far as the Independent is concerned, we would not be willing to spend a nickel on a project of this kind, and we would urge our readers to be cautious as to what you do with your savings.

Also quoteworthy, “It may be possible that there is some oil beneath the surface of our land though it remains to be seen just how much there is, just where it is located in commercial quantities and when it will be discovered.”
