The oil inspection bill is due for
another airing before the senate ses-
sion is over. The republican effort
to paint this bill in the same light
the Standard Oil company lobbyists
are painting it, has aroused the
democratic opposition. Before the
session is concluded. the democrats
will show the impossibility of the
Goodrich program; will show the
Standard Oil company support of the
Goodrich program; will show why
the oil company lobbyists are active
and will show the political motive
behind the oil bill. Ii will be shown
the state has never spent a cent
upon the oil department and that
the oil companies always have
fought the bill IL will be shown
the consumers of gasoline would
have been placed at the mercy of
the Standard oil company through
the oi! inspection bill and il will be
shown there is every probability.
the enactment of such a bill would
have relieved the Standard oil COM
pany from paying thousands of dol
lars into the state treasury each
year. 1t will be shown. in other
words. the alleged economy" meas
ure was an economy" measure for
the Standard Oil company.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan IS.
Insurgency which has been
developing in the state senate
and house among republicans
who are refusing 10 oil the cogs OF
the Goodrich presidential machine at
the expense of their constituents has
burst asunder all bonds and is eX-
posing itself in the open. I'm the
meantime. the Goodrich oilers are
rushing everywhere and using every
endeavor 20 stem the insurgent
movement
The insurgency began one night
this week when Gov. Goodrich en-
tertained a selec; few at a dinner
party at his home. IL is said at that
meeting. after the guests had been
entertained in style which BELTS a
$4,000 governor, the guests
among whom were some Of the in
surgents. were advised they must get
behind the program and pour into
the presidential cogs all their sup
port. And the announcement was re-
ceived without effect.
The final result was the dinner
was a failure insofar as convincing
anyone was concerned for some OF
the republican senator's did not care
TO face their people with a record of
having supported the alleged Good
rich conservation bill. the original
Standard oil company bill and 9TH
er bills, which would have abolished
offices and permitted Goodrich 10
exercise the position of a car.
The dinner party having failed,
the next step was a republican eau
Gus, held in the wee small hours of
the night at the Claypool hotel. The
republican papers had little TO say
concerning the caucus and every eff
fort was made TO keep il secret.
Senators paced the streets until
newspaper men were avoided and
then rushed for the hotel rooms.

said the caucus leader, and then the
insurgents sat back. The room be-
came very heavy with pungent,
Goodrich oil burned before the
presidential gods by the Goodrich

insurgents. When a caucus vote was
decided upon, they started for the

but at the same time they feel that
they lose ground because of them.
For this reason, and in recognition of
the great economic need of saving the

being seriously considered and was
to have been decided at a meeting OF
