WASHINGTON AND MEXICO CRY.

The action OF the Washington government
In communicating fuel oil from the storage
OF citizen owners raises very grave question
concerning tho rights Of government-oonccrn-

This republic, which the people are deter

and precise purpose OF protecting the individual
citizen both in his person and property against
Just such despotIc acts Of oppression as Is now
being practiced by the government against
citizens having fuel oil to sell.
There is no provision OF the constitution more
vital to the spirit OF the whole instrument than
that which expressly denies to government tho
right to deprive the citizen OF his liberty or his
property without due process OF law. And yet
