day appropriating $4,000 for the erec-
tion and maintenance of state oil re-

road legislation. which will prevent tho
so.called OIL Trust from defeating the
purpose Of the act

tai. We are all cropping I'm the dark. but
we Will get out into rhe light after A.
while. This Kansas contribution 10 the
solving of this great problem may or may
not be wise one. but II IL at least an
honest and courageous one"
Gov. Hoch said that the present lesis-
lation was not an attempt 10 drive the
Standard OF company from the state or
10 deprive IL OF It's rights. 1T IL not an
attempt TO establish a monopoly but an
attempt 10 compel monopoly already
existing 10 be decent"
He said that when normal conditions
were again restored the state would bs
glad 20 withdraw from the business OF
refining oil and leave u in the hands of
private competitors whore "it legitimately
