Honest difference of views and honest debate are not disunity. They are the vital process of policy among free men.
Herbert Hoover
Image
I can at once refute the statement that the people of the West object to conservation of oil resources. They know that there is a limit to oil supplies and that the time will come when they and the Nation will need this oil much more than it is needed now. There are no half measures in conservation of oil.
