Gasoline Users
Should Get Busy
Congress Should Be Urged to
Investigate High Price of Gas
Write Your Representatives
HIGHER PRICE FEARED
Independent Dealers at Mercy
of Market Manipulation Feared
by Investigators

Users of gasoline have every
reason to be anxious-or if not
anxious, at least slightly per-
turbed. The price of the fluid
that makes the wheels go around
is going skyward at an amaz-
ing rate-and no sign of any
earthward drop. Minneapolis
users are paying eight cents per
gallon more for gasoline than at
this time last year. Farmers,
who use internal combustion en-
gines, as we'll as automobile driv-
ers, are going to find the cost of
using gasoline equipment most
exorbitant this year.
Two reasons are given; one
the increased cost of production
and the other the increased de-
mand which involves the question
of the export of American gaso-
line to Europe. These may be
the causes. r If so, why is crude
oil 50 high? Why is gasoline
selling in New York at 23c per
gallon and selling here in Min
eapolis at 1870, there being but
very little difference in the
freight rates on gasoline from
the oil fields to either city? Why
is it that gasoline is selling in
New Jersey at 22c, in Boston for
24c and Milwaukee for 17Rc, in
Chicago for 16c and Tacoma and
Seattle for 1712c and Spokane
for 20 cents?
There should be a thorough
Congressional investigation of
the gasoline situation, it should
include going fully into the af-
fairs of the thirty-seven Stan
dard Oil Companies and the sub
sidiary companies to ascertain
if there is any connection be-
! tween them md whether there
has teen any manipulation in
either the crude oil market OF
the gasoline market by them.
There is only one way to get
at the difficulty and that is
through Congress. Every user
of gasoline should write the
Congressman and Senators rep
resenting his state, asking that
they demand a thorough Con
gressioal investigation and if il
is found that the market is
manipulated by any company OF
companies, that Congress SO leg.
islate that the production anc
sale of gasoline in the future be
under the strict supervision OF
the United States government.

Form Wireless Club

A number of the boys in the
Physics class and also those who
have studied the subject have
organized a wireless Telegraphy
Club. The Club consists of about
twenty-five members.
These boys have themselves
constructed a complete sending
and receiving set of inotru-
ments. Messages are now sent
from the basement of the high
school building to the assembly
by means of wireless. This set
of instruments, while not alab-
crate, demonstrates thoroughly
the principles of wireless tele-
graphy.
More complete sets contain
ing devices for receiving distant
messages are being made in the
shop and at home. There are a
number of high power stations
above the Great Lakes and the
boys hope to be able to receive
messages from these stations as
we'll as from the largest station
in the United States at Airing
ton, Virginia.
The Club meets once each
week and takes up for discussion
such topics of interest as will
be of assistance and interest in
the field of Wireless Telegtaphy.

TANNER CHAIRMAN
AT MEET
Plea for Harmony Heard at
New York State
Convention.

NEW YORK. April S.-Respondine
to pleas that crisis confronts both
the Republican party and the country
and that the national situation ought
TO take precedence ever factional dis
putes, the newly elected Republican
state committee at meeting here to-
day go effect organization, reelected
as chairman Frederick G. Tanner OF
this city.
The result was regarded by the
charmans friends as adding strength
to the movement favoring supreme
Court Justice Charles f.. Hughes for
the presidency and toward a renomi-
nation for Governor Charles s. Whit
man.
Mr. Tanners supporters placed this
Interpretation on his reelection be-
cause of the fact that state Senator
Charles W. Wicks of Utica, his de-
feated rival. was put forward by Will
liam Barnes Of Albany and others
who favored the nomination Of Elihu
Root. The Tanner faction supported
the Hughes movement.
No candidate for president men
toned either by speakers or in reso-
luton adopted after Mr.. Tanners re-
election. This memorial urged the
romination of "a tried Republican,
in whose record and character the ma
..on ran rely as guarantee for wise
s;atcsmanship In the management Of
foreign and domestic affairs"
Mr. Tanner later indicated that
personally he was opposed to Theo-
dore Roosevelt but he would not
make known a preference between
Justice Hughes and Mr.. Root.
