Goodbye, Gasoline.

An official Standard Oil bulletin
presents some facts and figures, par
ttcularly with reference to the Pa
cifc coast supply Of fuel oil and of
petroleum. products. that should be of
interest to every automobile owner
1t appears that the present normal
consumption of oil exceeds the alb.
normW consumption Of wartime.
Specifically, in 1918 the average daily
consumption was 297,576 barrels
whereas the average consumption in
1919 was 292,27s barrels. and in Feb
ruary. 1920, the daily consumption
exceeded 100000 barrels.
Meantime the use Of oil as a SUBJ
stitute for coal in propelling ships
has become very significant factor,
the navy having requisitioned for the
present year, on the Pacific coast.
2.96o.sOO barrels Of oil, and the
United States Shipping board hav-
Ing invited bids for 100000 bar
rels.
Tie net result Is that the reserve
stock of oil decreased from GO,0O0,-
900 barrels or May /, 1915. to a
present supply Of less than $4,000, 900
barrels: and il is predicted that The
entire reserve stock will be exhausted
within the coming year. thus cutting
on the supply of California fuel be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 barrels per
day.
Quite In keeping with the unfavor-
able auguries revealed by this report
is the more general report Of the
bureau OF mines according IN which
the production Of gasoline during the
hrst six months OF the present year
was only 13 per cent above the pro-
duction Of the corresponding months
OF 1919: whereas the domestic con-
sumption Of gasoline was 2S per cent
Increased and the total consumption,
including exports. was increased b.
80 per cent over year ago.

creases as the consumption increases.

WANT TARIFF FOR
COTTONSEED OIL
Competition of Oriental Products
Said to Be Too Strong

Washington, Feb. 12-Representa-
tives OF Southern producers of cot
ton seed and peanut oil told the
house ways and means committee to-
day that they cannot much longer
meet the competition of Oriental veg
etable oils unless congress enacts
protective tariff TO prevent the dump
ing Of Oriental oils on the American
market.
A brief petition Of cotton seed
crushers' associations of all Of the
southern states and Arizona and CAL
ifornia was presented to the COM
mlttee, asking for nineteen protective
tariff measures, as follows:
Five cents per pound on cocoa
nut oil; three cents on copra; five
cents on crude peanut oil; six cents
on refined peanut oil; four cents on
shelled peanuts; three cents on un-
shelled peanuts; five cents on edible
olive oil; four cents on non-edible
olive oil; five cents on crude cotton
seed Oil; six cents on refined cotton
seed Oil; five cents on palm oil; five
cents on palm kernel oil; three cents
on palm kernels palm nuts and palm
fruits; five cents on crude soya bean
oil; six cents on refined soya bean
oil; three cents on soya beans; five
cents on Chinese nut oil; three cents
on sesame seeds, and five cents on
sesame seed OIL
Statements by the United States
Tariff commission that there is no
Immediate need for protective tar
iff on cotton seed oils were challeng-
cd by the crushers. who declared that
the commission labored under the
mistaken assumption that cotton seed
oil is unaffected by competition Of
other vegetable oils On the con-
trary, the spokesman for the crush
ers declared, the domestic cotton
seed oil market is now controlled alb
solutely by prices Of imported cocoa
nut, soya bean and Oriental peanut
oils. and this Importation is the chief
factor in the decline Of price Of cot
ton seed oil from twenty cents
pound year ago TO less than six cents
a pound today, at which figure there
is no longer any profit in its manu-
facture.

FORCE OF MARINES
NEEDED IN HAITI
Withdrawal would mean Return
of Chaos

Washington, Feb. 13.-The United
States having put it's hand TO the
plow in Haiti, must not now turn
back through withdrawal OF the
American forces there. Rear Admiral
II. S. Knapp declared today in a re-
port in which he presented in final
form the results Of his Investigations
IN the island republic for the navy
and state departments.
Agitation against the American .oc-
cupation Of Haiti, Admiral Knapp as
serted, is inspired by a desire on the
part OF small group who, he said,
represented at the most less than s
per cent of the population. This
group Of agitators, he added, are
working to gain hearing and the
sympathy OF the people of the Urited
States, although their real object is
10 OBTAIN aborgatiOn of the treaty
boween the United States and Haiti
and to bring about return Of the
old conditions of government
Gould this be attained" Admiral
Knapp in his report continued, Il
think that 999 out of every 1000
Haitians would be glad TO see the
American forces remain to enforce
good order. In other words. the Hal
tians. even the worst agitators among
them, would be willing to have the
United States act the part of police
mon and otherwise leave them to
their own devices.
The people Of the United States,'
the admirars report said. should not
allow themselves 10 be deceived lby
the words republic of Haiti into be-
lieving that there exists in Haiti or
ever has a republic i'm any true sense
founded upon the expressed will of
an intelligent and educated electo-
rate. The so-called republic. of Haiti,
left to itself has been a tyrannical
oligarchy in which those in power
Fastened upon the vast mass Of the
population, while those of the gov
orning class out OF power sought
every opportunity to get into power
by fair means or foul, with the same
corrupt personal ends in view. Tran
guilty and security now exist in
Haiti practically throughout the
country From all that l can gather
persons can move about the republic
on their lawmul occasions without
fear OF molestatiOn. This is the di-
roct result Of armed Intervention"
