! for the committee on rural roads said
! that the committee met in Portland
D week ago, and after a four hours
consideration aof the topic decided to
ask for a reasonable length of rime in
which to study the subject with a
view to Offering some constructive
form Of suggestion. He said that the
members of the committee DO not
know whom. the new commissioner of
| highways will be or what will be the
policies Of the commission: the COM
mittee plans to meet once a month for
six months, and by the end of that
period will hope to be able to present
a definite plan for consideration.
, Meanwhile. the committe hopes that
the farmers Of Maine viii view from
a broad perspective the question of
highway improvement. whether their
homes happen 10 adjoin. or are a long
way from the trunk lines.
Mr.. McIntire and Mr.. Hunton of
the committee spoke briefly of the
immensely Of the problem. and of the
committees desire to make a deep
study of the situation in this and
. other states of similar conditions be-
fore attempting to suggest a definite
plan of action for betterment of the
rural roads.
The Question of Marketing
The committee on marketing sub
mitted the following written report:
The committee appointed to sug-
/ sest some plan of better marketing
methods for Maine agricultural pro-
| ducts reported the following recon-
| mendation:
The diversified interests of the
State, comprising so many products
and different viewpoints, involve too
many problems to permit the COM
mittee to recommend a new plan
sufficiently comprehensive to cover
all the troubles incident to market
ing the varied farm products. How
ever, it is felt that by selecting a
few outstanding features Of the
question for concentrated effort,
progress may be made. Later as
occasion requires, other problems
may be taken up. Such a program
might well begin along these lines:
First, better grading and stand

products.
Second. advertising Maine pro-
ducts and special Maine grades.
Third. active work in the actual
| marketing of these graded products.
We recommend that the Fedora
ton of Agricultural Associations CO.
| operate with the Maine Department
of Agriculture, the United States
Bureau of Markets, and all other
| agencies looking to better marketing
methods in developing progressive
action on the following crops: Pota-
toes. hay and apples. Recognizing
the fact that grades are already es-
tablished on potatoes and apples,
we feel that shipping point inspect
| ing is the next logical step, because
the consuming public demands a
| product measuring up to these
standards, and further, potatoes and
! apple grades already being well es-
! tablisbed, we recommend that some
action be taken relative to advertis-
! ing these two products of Maine. We
| believe that shipping point inspec-
| ton will materially assist in educat-
| ing the producer IN maintaining
| these grades.
| Inasmuch as there are now no es-
| tablished grades on hay, we recon-
mend that the division Of markets

PRESENT CONGRESS
WILL NOT CREATE
ADDITIONALFEDERA
JUDICIAL PLACES

Washington, June 1.-No new federal
judgeships will be created at the pres
ent session Of congress. This develops
in connection with a survey Of the situ-
alton in various districts Of the United
States where congested dockets OBJ
tain.
A special subcommittee of the house
judiciary committee, composed Of Con-
gressmen Volstead, Summers Of Texas,
and Dyer, has been going over the de-
tails as to the proposed creation of the
new judgeships with Attorney General
Daugherty, The attorney General has
asked that ne be given some phases OF
the crowded conditions Of the federal
dockets, and that all data on hand in
connection Herewith be sent to him at
once.
He has even intimate1 that it will
be impossible for him to reach any
conclusion for some time. This is taken
to mean that he will not reach any lrn>
mediate decision.
Bills are pending before the house jn-
dietary committee for the creation Of an
additional judicial district with new
/ judge therein for Oklahoma, a new
| judgeShip for middle Tennessee, two fol-
Texas, with various other sections oI
| the country asking that additiona
| judges be appointed.
Chairman Nnlstead is of the opinion
that conditions demand the creation o
at least fifteen new judgeships 1t hai
also been found by the house judiciar,
committee that none Of the function
Of the federal court can be delegate,
to commissioners or deputies, and tina
the only way the situation can be me
is for the creation of new judgeship
outright.
The attorney general has not int
mated what plans he has to reliev
congested dockets, due to increased bus
mess from the development Of the south
southwest and middle west, and inc
dentaly the increase of criminal bus
ness for alleged violations Of the pre-
hib'tion laws.
The judiciary committee has come
the conclusion that nothing will
, done until the regular session of COZ
gress.

MEXICAN OIL BLAMED
FOR RECENT CUTS IN CRUDE

Washington, May 3l--Enormous inn
ports of crude oil from Mexico is the
cause Of the recent decline in the
price Of oil, according TO the commit
tee of the Oklahoma legislature, who
laid its report before the United States
senate for it's information today
through Senator ]. w. Harreld. The
committee confined its Investigations
to the Mid.Continental field, saying the
price in Oklahoma is now below the
average lifting cost.
The price can only be stabilized by
a tariff, il is said, since Mexican oil
ia now coming in free Of import.
One Of the principal sources OF rev.
enue in Oklahoma is the tax the state
leyies upon the gross production OF
crude oil, though the product must
then be sold in opposition to Mexican
oil
"Our committee developed that the
only opposition TO a tariff on Mex
can crude were the representatives oi
CORPORATIONS such as the Standard Oh
| Company Of Indiana, the Standard Ol
Company of New Jersey, through IL!
subsidiaries. the Magnolia Petroleum
Company, the Prairie Oil and Ga
Company. the pipe line subsidiaries o
the STANDARD Oil Company, the Texa
Company and the Gulf Company, al
of which companies were heavily in
terested in Mexican oil production,
the statement says.
The committee claimed that GO pc
cent of the oil industry Is now close
down and thousands are idle. TIL
communication Is sent from Tulsa an
signed by Eli Admire and others.

MIR. Wallace concurs with many othei
oil men in the opinion that the ran
well had not been drilled deep enough,
and base their opinions by reference to
the Herbert OIL Company well in the

the pay sand at a depth Of 2545 feel
and which is flowing more than 4VV

on the DIllard farm. in section %, As
2w, blew up several days ago, but
fortunately no onse was nearby at the
time and no one was injured. The
explosion Is believed TO have occurred
on account of the failure of the safety
valve to work. The boiler was thrown
for distance Of more than 1870 feet
from its original location. The noise
of the explosion could be heard for a
great distance and more than hun
dred of the field men gathered on the

A tooldresser had started for the
