The Smithsonian institute, United

says, ''In respect to prompt delivery Of

IN exceptionally useful opporunity.Ys.1
It is these motor trucks, tractors and,
farmer owned automobiles that are
largely increasing gasoline consump-
ton, particularly In the Middle West.
During the frst four months of 1920,
the production of gasoline increased
1915. while during the same period,
domestic consumption Of gasoline In
creased 33h%. This excess Of con-.
sumption over production has been .
potent factor in the advance of gasoline
prices, but the dominant underlying
reason has been the increase in the
cost Of crude oil. .
The service rendered by the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana) lies in manu-
featuring and distributing to the trac-
tor, the truck, and the automobile
dependable supply of gasoline and lub-
ricating oils, and selling them at fair
price. The latest refinery methods are
producing continually increasing pei:

CHARGES PLOT TO
GUST n. Y. MAYOR
District Attorney Swan De-
clares That Object OF Special
Grand Jury's Activities
ATTACK ON HEARST, TOO

New York. Feb. 19.-District At
tcrney Swami issued q statement last
night in which he claimed that the ex-
traordinary grand iury's charges
against the three assistant district at
torneys were preferred as a subterfuge
to bring about Mayor Hylan's removal
and ITO find something on William
Randolph Hearst" Mr.. Swami as
serted that the grand jurors expected
Attorney General Newton TO designate
Alfred L. Becker, deputy attorney gen
eral, to take his place.
The grand jury, presided over by
Mr.. Almiral." he continued. has two
main objects. The first is to find
something on the mayor, or pretext on
which he may be removed and another
appointed in his place, with lively
hope that the other may consent to an
eight-cent fare. The other is that
they hope Mr.. Becker will enable them
to find something on William Randolph
Hearst. who has been a thorn in the
side of the Interborough and the Trac-
tion combination for years and a man
whom they consider to be the chief OPP
ponent of the granting of an eight-cent
fare.
''From the dag the district attorney
announced to the extraordinary grand
jury" Mr.. Swami continued. that he
was investigating the falsity of the
written financial statement published by
the Interborough officials and j. F.
Morgan & Co.. upon the faith of which
the public bought S33 900. 900 of short
term notes in September, 1918, the
dominant members of the extraordinary
grand jury, who had been controlling
it's action. began a search to find some
thing against the mayor and the dis
trict attorney. and they were joined in
the search by the judge on the bench.
who personally devoted two months of
his time and labor to it.
''The claim that they desire to in
vestigate this Office is merely a pre-
text to. secure a substitution of the
attorney general for the district at
torney. who refuses to be party to
their desires.
''They have two objects I reiterate.
First, to do the bidding of the great
and powerful traction interests. and
the other is political. In the language
of one of the members of the extra
ordinary grand jury himself, that is
TO eliminate Hearst from the affairs
of this city for all time. And this was
the opportunity.
Attorney General Newton said here
he had not been officially notified by
the governor of his designation to super
cede District Attorney Swami as coun-
sci to the grand jury. When he is
officially notified. he added. he would
90 to Albany and confer with the gov
ernor. and that announcement of the
appointment of an assistant to carry
on the work before the grand jury would
be made from there

intruder sought to demonstrate more
vigorously than he had done at his first
custer. To the aid of the lynx-eyed con-
servator of the social convention came
several other husky young merrymakers,
who laid violent hands on the outlander
and thrust him from the room, accel-
Grating his passage by a lusty kick or
two.

rejected visitor muttered:

(the object Of which Is not In question
here) is now In process and likely will
be soon confirmed. Its sponsors are
already celebrating it. Judging by the
temper OF the times, there will probably
be more attempted of various sorts and
kinds, particularly in view of the fact
that this eighteenth amendment demon
strstes the celebrity and easiness with
which changes In our system or state
and federal government can be made.
A New York journal very recently
suggested that the time was ripe FOR
constitutional convention to deal with
the entire federal constitution more or
less and that the party that adopts this
as plank will secure potent follow
ing. We don't agree with this, but It
shows trend of thought
Therefore, would it not be we'll and
forehanded while we are in the way and
the amending Is good. to propose still
another amendment. namely to Article v,
the reserved rights and powers of the
state or the autonomy of the state and
federal system Of government, particu-
larly as TO the established powers Of
their judicial branches to declare statutes
shall be valid. without
direct action by the people either by vote
or through conventions representing
them? Thus eliminating the possibility
of binding people by mere action of state
legislatures, whose choice as local legis-
ercise Surrender of reserved powers
etc) on their part, and who, certainly
in one state, If not all, are without power
TO surrender and give away the very
power. which by the so-called ratification
of this eighteenth amendment il is con
tended they have surrendered, and who
furthe hermore, the very people of one state
at least, have seen to II, are absolutely
without power TO add TO or take away
from their own state constitution with
out the approval and vote OF the said
people.
There appear TO be good reasons. even
as Article V now stands, for contending
that amendments such as those above
indicated would not be valid, but a
change OF this article would remove any
doubt. The question Is not new, excent
in its present emphasis. 1t was foreseen
by some 1913 years ago. The previous
seventeen amendments did not touch II
or did not squarely raise it. This eight
eenth amendment does. That is the rea-
son for this communication.
