would be more equitable
than higher prices that tend
to favor the rich.
But before you get sold on
rationing, take a close look.
First, consider the fact that
those talking about it loudest
are providing you with no
details. Would everyone be
The hmitatien ef warranty and remedy en the tag
attached te each beg ef Funk s G Hybrid seld is a
part of the terms ef sale thereof
allocated five gallons, or ten
gallons or fifteen gallons a
week? We do not know
because no one wants to get
that specific.
Rather they prefer to talk
about giving the President
stand-by rationing authority,
or, in other words, put the
monkey of coming up with
details on his back. That
way, these politicans will say
that they have dealt with the
energy problem by in
stituting a rationing policy,
but will take no respon
sibility for the hardships that
the precise regulations
connected with the program
might cause.
If these lawmakers want
rationing, let them come up
with a specific program, not
a stand-by program. Let
them spell out the details of
what they are proposing so
that everyone has a chance
to evaluate their plan before
they consider it as a
reasonable alternative.
Why aren’t details being
spelled out? The answer is
because the specifics make
rationing far less attractive.
What if the upward limit per
consumer turned out to be as
low as five gallons per week?
How many families could get
by on that?
Also, there is considerable
question whether it is ail that
equitable. There is a built-in
assumption that some people
are going to get more gas
than others - those who use
their car to make their
living, those who need their
car to obtain medical care,
the farmer to run his
machinery and many others
who for good reason would
qualify for an extra ration.
Another major con
sideration must be the
possibility of black
marketeering. The black
market was very much a
factor in the gas rationing
efforts during World War II
and can be expected because
black market fuel would be
most available to those most
able to pay for it and the
result would be dwindling
supplies of fuel for those
citizens who stayed
legitimate.
Finally, there is the
question of price. Rationing
does not guarantee a stable
price. Therefore, you have to
assume that any such
program must also involve
price controls. Such controls
and rationing combine to
establish the need for a huge
new government
bureaucracy to police the
programs locally and ad-

may be right that
