THE OIL

Price of crude oil to the producer
country and the industry is at a low
ebb.
Representatives of the petroleum in
stitute state that there is overpro-
duction in this country and the pres
ent output must be curbed thru furth-
err decreases in prices for crude oils,
if necessary.
The total quantity Of petroleum i'm
ported this fiscal year into the coun-
try will be nearly six billion gallons,
against about three billions in 1920,
approximately two billions in 1919, a
billion and a half in 1918 and one bill
lion gallons in 1917.
The rapid growth of petroleum i'm
ports into a country which produces
more than two-thirds of the mineral
oil of the world, is explained, as the
growing disposition Of world indus
tries and m to move the ma
tural products to points having the
best facilities for transforming them
into condition for the use of a
Material change in sentiment in
favor of fuel oil, as opposed to coal,
has occurred among present and pros
pective users, because of the abund-
ance and cheapness of fuel oil in the
United States. The British coal
strike, also, is a big influence.
Recent statement of a British of
fetal, that the British navy would
soon be entirely oil burning, and the
conversion of some of the biggest
ships in the British merchant fleet to
oil burners, shows the trend of fuel
oil consumption in England. Yet Eng
land is not Independent in regard to
oil supplies, like the United States.
With increased oil production, fuel
users who were diverted to coal dur
ing the war, are rapidly returning to
oil as the more Efficient and economi-
cal fuel.

A housekeeping Due.

BY prosecuting j. w. Brinton on
charges of perjury, the N~onpartisan
league leaders put themselves in grave
danger.
The nature of his statements against
the leagues manipulation of North
Dakota finances was such that if he
were acquitted, the league managers
stood convicted of most serious mis-
management.
And Brinton has been declared not
guilty of perjury. The charges he
made are held to be sufficiently JUS
titled to warrant his acquittal and
the verdict in his case is at least pre-
sumptive proof that they were true.
Brinton may not be a lovely char
acter; since he turned against Lemke,
Wood and Townley he has had his
full share of vilification and abuse
but he certainly is the one who laughs
last and best.
1t behooves the rank and file of the
league to take the revelations of the
Brinton trial more seriously than they
were inclined to regard his less for
NAL criticisms when the league pub
locations were doing all they could to
discredit and destroy him. AS a mat
ter Of good faith to themselves, the
people of North Dakota are due to
clean house.-Minneapolis News.

HELENA'S FIFTY CENT STREET
CAR FARE

How many northeastern Montana
farmers are this year, able to attend
the state fair, in which they are so
greatly interested? How many of
them can take their families along and
dig up that fifty cent fare charged
by the Helena street railroad COM
pany, last year, to take them to and
from the grounds?
Helena depends much, as it rightly
should, upon the fair, the legislature
and the other activities, that attend
the administration of the state govern
ment, for its prosperity. Every citizen
of the state has pride in the beautiful
city which is the state capital. Most
of us country folks do not believe that
the city government, or the Helena
Chamber of Commerce. are parties to
this hold up on the part of the Helena
street railway company, and expect
them to vindicate the fair fame of
the city, by showing us that the rate
will not be continued this year.
This matter is vital to the success
of the fair and deserves immediate
attention of the Helena people most
directly interested. A cheaper rate
should be determined upon and the
fact advertised at once.

Hartford, Feb. 12.-Judee Maltbie of the superior court is not satisfied with grounds of constructive desertion and said in court yesterday that he was not sure but that in the next court year he should refuse to grant decrees on con- structive desertion which he said he did not find provided for in the Connecti- cut law.
 The 1udge has always hesitated about granting decrees 10 people who claim ground Of desertion when they themselves were the ones who left the other parties. Judge MaItbie says most of these cases are presented on the claim of assertion when the real ground proven is more in the nature of intoler- able cruelty.
