MIR. Hell stood in his community, de
cided TO pay him a tribute.
In his Devils Lake journal. how
ever, MIR. Bloom operlooks a signifi'
cant Indication in the appointment
OF the late MI He'll. The appoint,
ment shows that the Republicans
were acting in tree and untrammei
ed manner. They had not gone over
the district TO find out whether Mr.
Hell might be LaFollette, Roose'
welt, or Cummins supporter
They selected him because they
knew that he has been good Repub'
lican and could be depended upon to
carry out the presidential preference
of his party.
Did this phase OF the situation evel
appeal to Col Bloom?
Contrast the action taken by the
Progressive Republicans in Fargo
when Ten men were named sworn to
support LaFollette.
The situation had been thoroughly
canvassed in advance and no chances
were taken by the followers OF the
Wisconsin statesman
In what Bloom sees only as humoT
is proof OF the significant fact that
none OF the selections made by the
Republican State Central committee
has string or label attached.

BY GEORGE WHITE,
Oil Producer and Former Member Of
ConureSs From Ohio

SoNQrG6S FROM VINO.
What makes the price OF gasoline
so high? 1 suppose i have been ask
ed that question a score Of times. We
producers DO not know positively.
We are not in the retail selling end
OF the business. But we do know of
number OF causes operating togeth-
sr 10 cause high gasoline prices. Prob.
ably few of these causes are known
or understood by the general public,
Let ME say at the outset that in
creased profits to the refiner, in my
opinion, have something to do with
present gasoline prices, though prob
ably less than the consuming public
generally supposes. The small, indie
pendent retinerS, the men who have
had a struggle in less prosperous
days, are showing the evidences Of
prosperity They are increasing the
size and efficiency of their refining
plants. II the little fellows are MAX
ing money il is reasonable TO sup
pose that the bigger concerns are
making more money. Out of this CON
dition there is likely to come great
good both 10 the consumers of refin-
cry products and to the producers OF
crude petroleum. ! do not charge
that the Standard Oil company is
maintaining a fictitiously high price
for gasoline, but If il were doing so
1t would be conducting a short.sisht-
ed policy. The present high prices
are building up the little Independent
retinerS into strong competitors, II
the high prices last long enough the
Standard Oil company will have more
competition than al any time since
its formation. That will mean keen
er competition among the .refiners for
their crude oil, which will bring high
er prices TO the crude oil producers.
and keener competition in the retail
markets, which will bring lower pric-
es TO the consumer.
Crude Oil Reaches High Level.
This competition is now being evil
denced in the oil fields. Crude oil in
the Appalachian range is now quoted
AT about $3.50 a barrel Competition
among the refiners has developed to
such an extent that premiums above
the quoted price are now being offer
ed for Oil. In Ohio and West Vir-
ginia these premiums are about 10
cents barrel. although occasionally
as high as % cents a barrel has been
