Palmer Investigates
Rise in Fuel Oil Cost
Western Shipping Interests Say
Burden of Increase Has Been
Put ON the Public

WASHINGTON, Dec 2t.-Attorney
General Palmer, through the bureau
of investigation Of the Department of
Justice, has begun an inquiry into what
is claimed to be an "inordinate in
crease" in the price of fuel oil since
1918. A decision will be rendered
shortly, according to an announcement
made tonight.
Complaints have been received from
Pacific coastwisc shipping interests
that the oil companies have refused
to renew contracts expiring in 1918
for fuel oil at prices which had pre-
vailed for three years previous to that
time. In consequence of this. it is
said, part of the burden necessarily
has been put on the public, and steam
ship passenger rates have reached ar
almost prohbitive figure.
The oil companies contend that they
have been maintaining rates specif
cally fixed by the government.

Hays Declares ALI

Help Define Issues
Plan for Individual Sugges.
tions Devised by National
Committee Is Being Car
ried Out, He States

Will II. Hays, chairman of the Re-.
publican National Committee, before
leaving yesterday for his home in Sui
iivan, Ind, to pass the holidays, said
he was carrying out the instructions
OF the national committee at Its re-
cent meeting i'll Washington in ask. ng
representative Republicans in every
section Of the United States to contrib
ute to the construction of the next Re-
publican national platform
"The national committee provided
for the appointment of a committee on
policies and platform, to be appointed
within a few days, as we'll as for the
appointment of a national council of
twenty-four men and women" said
Chairman Hays.
"The committee on policies and plat
form is to consist of about sixty rep
resentative men and women. On this
committee will be twelve members of
the national committee who are on
the council, and approximately fifty
men and women not of the national
and representatives Of all groups in
interest in the country, including
business. labor, farmers, etc.
All Elements to Have Voice
"Thc purpose of the formation OF
this committee is to obtain platform
suggestions for the consideration OF
the resolutions committee at the con.
vention from all representative clc
ments in the Republican party, which
means all representative elements OF
good citizenship. The committee is
intended to be a working body whose
members will give serious and con.
tinued thought and attention tc
the question of the platform for the
perfunctory organization. The variou,
suggestions as the platform will be
considered together in order that tho
specialized suggestions of one grout

may coordinate with the specialized
suggestions of other groups, for we
all go up or down together
"Underlying the whole plan is the
great fact, which the National Commit
tee recognizes, that there rests on the
Republican party the tremendous re-
sponsibiIity Of putting into force in a
legislative and administrative way the
most comprehensive program Of wise
constructive measures ever attempted
in the Republic. 1t is recognized that
the Republican party has this vast task
TO perform. If this is to be performed,
then the platform must be one COM
mensurate with the needs.
81. is obvious that the resolutions
committee of the Republican National
Convention, which will write the plat
form, and to which the product of the
work of this committee will 20 as sug-
gestions, can do fuller justice to the
needs for wise and broad platform
with the material then furnished it.
lhe platform will deal, Of course, with
the great fundamentals, and when
adopted it shall be the evidence of a
sacred contractual obligation between
the party and the people
The idea Of having some of the best
brains of the party work for six months s
in the evolution of platform sugges-
tons is in harmony with the action of
the national committee in selecting a
council OF twentyfour men and women,
Twelve OF whom are members of the
national committee and twelve not
members, four of whom are women

party into employment for the welfare

South Dakota Gets
Johnson's Platform
Petitions Being Circulated in
That State Urge His Nominal
ton as an Independent
Special Correspondence


PIERRE. S. D.. Dec. 24.-Petitions
are being circulated to-day in this city
and throughout South Dakota to nomi-
nate Hiram W. Johnson as an indie
pendent Republican candidate for Pres
ldcnt on the March primary ballot.
Senator Johnson's private secretary
has been in the state for several days.
He said to-day that the Senator would
not file unless there seemed to be a
good fighting chance. as the state ad-
ministration was lined up for Wood.
Senator johnson sent out a platform
to attach to petitions. Summarized the
platform is as follows:
II submit candidacy to the people
OF South Dakota upon q record of past
performance, rather than on future
promise.
II believe that the government be-
longs to all the people, not a favored
few; that the farmer and the toiler
have the same rights and the same
privileges as the banker and capitalist;
that all classes are subject and none
superior to the law. stand now for
exactly what stood in California dur
ing SIX years of Governorshp.'
He then recites things accomplished
in California and says he would lay
the heavy hand of law equally on the
millionaire protiteer and the law break
ing agitator.
He continues: an foreign relations
l would have friendship and amity with
all nations, entangiing alliances with
none. The present national appropria-
ton system should be eliminated and
the budget system adopted. Government
should be brought closer to the people
by direct primaries and direct lcgis!a-
ton.
"The right of legitimate expression.
the free speech of our Constitution
must be protected and maintained. A
free press must be preserved. With
the present power of the national gov
ernment, there can be no excuse for a
failure intelligently to attack the ex
sting evil Of the high price of neces
sites"
New-York tribune., 1919-12-25

soreness against him growing out OF
the injunctions in the slightest degree.
Not even the union miners themselves
are pleased, but are practically as bit
ter against Mr.. Palmer as they were
before the negotiations Of which DR..
Garfield disapproved. So the politi-
clans regard Mr.. Palmer as having lost
the union labor support beyond recap
ture.
But by his later negotiations with
lewis, the politicians assert, Mr.. Palmer
has hopelessly alienated the claw and
order" element. They think this effect
will be accomplished even if coal prices
do not advance before next Election
Day, but there is scarcely any one in
Washington who does not think that
coal prices will be advanced before No
vember 2, 1920.
The only fly in the ointment Of the
secretly are pleased at what they re-
gard as this serious loss of strength
by Mr.. Palmer, is the increasing senti
ment among Democratic politicians
everywhere that some one not con-
nected in any way with the Administra-
ton should be nominated, and a grow
ing appreciation of the tremendous i'm
portance Of carrying Ohio.
This last factor has marked up the
StoCk Ol OOtn IeVernOr James M. COX
and Senator Atlee Pomerene. The Ohio
preferential primaries take place March
81, and after that Ohio is expected to
unite behind the victor. Meantime,
boomers of both Cox and Pomerene are
claiming everything, but anxously
awaiting the test. 1t is certain that
whichever favorite son Ohio presents
to the Democratic convention, there
will be a disposition to consider him
very seriously.
No politician has forgotten the fact
that in the 1915 election Oho's twenty
four electoral votes would have elected
Hughes, and that if the Buckeye State
had gone Republican no one would
have waited up all night to learn what
had happened in California. 1t is real
izcd that for any Democrat to carry
New York or Illinois will be, if not out
of the question. certainly too much to
count on, and, therefore, to the Demo
Gratis the carrying of Ohio is vital. For
that reason the most formidable op-
ponent Of Mr.. McAdoo for the nomina-
ton is the favorite son of Ohio.
