In reply to the telegram of Attor-
ney Geo. +. Brimmer of this city as
published in The Rawlins Republican
last week Governor Carey issued the
following statement:
Il have never been able to under
stand the difference in price paid for
oil in what is known as the Mid
continent field and for Wyoming
oil" he said. Il have discussed this
question on a number of occasions
with officials of the Midwest Rein
ing Company, and my understand
ing has been hat the fact that Mid
continent oil is transported to mar
E't or to market centers by pipe
lines, while oil from this section is
transported by rail, is the reason the
Midwest has not been able to pay as
much for oil produced in Wyoming
as for oil from the Mid-Continent
field. In spite of it's explanations
and the countless figures which it
has furnisher to back up it's state
ments, I am convinced that the
PRICES of crude oil in this state have
always been too low.
LAS to the prices hat are charged
for gasoline. there is no excuse for
them. although l do not think that
h refining companies can be held
directly responsible, as gasoline is
sold by them to the Continental Oil
company and the Texas company.
which companies distribute the same.
The gasoline is sold to the d%istribut-
ing companies at the %refineries and

terests doing business In this state.
The complaint Of the people OF
this state IL not against the Midwest
Refining Company. nor against the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
nor against any other corporation.
The complaint of the people 10
against the evils that exist. For
those evils which exist. the people,
the legislature and the Governor
must endeavor to find remedies.
Section 80 of article / of our con-
stitution provides:
"Perpetuities and Monopolies are
contrary to the genius of a free
state, and shall not be allowed. Cor
poratiOns being creatures of the
State, endowed for the public good
with a portion Of its sovereign
powers, must be subject to its con
troll"
Section 1896, Chapter $50, wyo-
ming Compile dStatutes for 1920,
provides that a civil action may be
brought in the name of the state
against a corporation:
-. When it has misused a fran
chise or privilege conferred upon it
by law, OF exercised a franchise or
privilege not Sc conferred"
Section 6337. Chapter $50 Wyo-
ming Compiled Statutes for 1920,
provides that the Attorney General.
when directed by the Governor shall
commence an action in the name of
the State against a corporation
which has misused a franchise or
privilege conferred upon 1t by law.
There Is apparently no question

State to oust any corporation that
misuses . franchise or privilege
granted to 1t by the Law of the state.
II the legislature Of this state was
convened in special session, 1t would
have the power to summon witnesses.
to have brought before II the books
and records of the Midwest Refining
Companies its subsidiaries, its
sssignees and other corporations Con-
nected with the handling of crude
oil and its refined products in this
state, and TO detern inc from the
evidence produced before 1t as to
whether any corporation connected
with the oil industry in this state has
misused the privilege granted to it
Continued on Page Five.)
, 1921-10-13

but that the privilege Ut doing bus
mess In this state has been misused
by the Midwest Refining Company.
Neither the Governor nor the
Attorney General would be justified
in initiating proceedings Of Quo
WarrantO against the Midwest Re-
lining Company upon mere state
ments made by any person. Prior
to the Initiation of such an action.
the Attorney General should have in
his possession evidence that would
convince a court that the privilege
of doing business in this state had
been misused by the Midwest REIN
ing Company.
Neither the Governor nor the At
torney General has the means nor
the power at his disposal for the in
vestigations that would be required
in order that 1t might be determined
whether or not q monopoly in crude
oil and its refined products exists
In this state. and whether or not the
privilege conferred upon the Mid
west Refining Company whereby IT.
can do business in this state. has
been misused.
1t is apparent from the language
utilized in our constitution that 1t
was the intent of the people of this
state to prevent the existence of
monopolies.
1t is apparent from the language
utilized by the legislature Of this
state in sections 1886 and 1897. that
1t was the intent of the people
through their representatives, to
authorize the Governor of this
, 1921-10-13

OF trying to obtain legislation where
by only fair and reasonable prices
could be charged for coal. AS q re-
suit of his investigation he came to
the conclusion that no law could be
enacted by the legislature whereby
prices Of commodities could be fixed.
There 10 NO question but that the
conclusion reached by the Governor
in this matter was correct. and that
the legislature has the authority to
fix prices upon any commodity. This
conclusion, as reached by the Gov
ernor. applies to both coal and oil.
1t Is interesting to note that from
investigations previously made by
the Governor, he is convinced that
the prices of crude oil in this state
have always been too low. and that
the prices charged for gasoline can
not be defended. That conclusion
tends to show that the Chief Execu-
tive Is of the opinion that a monopoly
does exist in oil and its refined
products.
: The Governor also advises the
people that he recently made COM
plant to an official Of the Standard
Oil Company to the effect hat the
prices charged for gasoline were II
reasonable, and that that official
assured him hat he would %endeavor
TO remedy the condition. This makes
it plain that as the result Of know
ledge acquired by the Chief Executive
of this state. he assumed. and the
Standard Oil official practically ad-
mitted. that the, prices of gasoline
we're regulated solely by certain in
, 1921-10-13

facts that had been collected re-
garding the prices Of coal in the
various sections Of the state, l made
no recommendations. believing the
legislature had no power to take &C
ton. am not a lawyer, while Mr..
Brtmmer is. and perhaps he knows
OF some provision whereby the leg
islature might compel the Midwest
or the Standard Oil company to pay
higher prices for crude oil, and IL
the legislature has such power I
would be glad to be so advised"
Following the above statement
issued by Governor Carey, Mr.. Brim-
mer issued the following statement
for publication:
The broad-minded spirit shown by
Governor Carey relative to the
article appearing in The Rawlins
Republican on oil conditions in this
State, is most pleasing. In his state
nent the Governor advises the people
that he would gladly call a special
session OF the legislature for the pur-
pose of permitting a full ~investiga-
ton of existing conditions in the oil
industry in this state. and for the
further purpose OF adopting such leg
islation as might be necessary in
order to remedy any evils that might
be found to exist. provided that ade-
quate results could be obtained by
such action upon his part.
The Governor heretofore, upon
his sole responsibility, caused some
Investigations to be made as to coal
prices in this state. with the intent
