"Today the entire country" the re-
port asserted, "is divided into IL Stan
dard gasoline marketing territories in
which a Standard marketing company
is the dominating factor and in which
there is no real competition between
the various Standard units. This mon
opolistic situation is possible under
the terms of the Standard Oil dissolu-
ton decree, by which the different
Standard companies are, for legal
purposes, supposed to be strangers to
each other, but there is, as is general
ly known, an interlocking stock own
ership in the different organizations
which has perpetrated the very mon
opolistic control which the courts
ought to terminate.
"The commission is CT the opinion
that this situation cannot be effectual-
ly remedied by existing law and that
adequate relief can be secured only
through additional legislation. 1t re-
commends therefore that congress

ownership in corporations which have

More than go per cent of the gaso-

Rocky mountain territory, the report

Refining company, which was said to

"The high price of gasoline situation
n Montana and adjacent Rocky mount

ing Today-Talk of Tax One
Cent Gallon on Gasoline

Washington, Feb. S.-A tentative
estimate of $3.50, 100000 yearly as the
amount of special taxes that must
be laid to finance the cash feature
of the proposed soldiers bonus legis-
lation, was made today at an exc
cutive session of majority members
| of the House ways and means COM
mittee. The exact amount to be de-
termined upon and the sources from
,. which it must come will be taken
up tomorrow by a subcommittee
headed by Chairman Fordney.
| Committeeman said it was not the
either of the interest or principal
of the British or other foreign debts
in connection with the bonus. They
said that something around $500.
OOO, 900 a year would take care of
| the cash payments to be made over
the two and one-half years period
! beginning January /, 1875, and that
the finding of definite and certain
sources from which to obtain this
amount was their immediate con-
| cern.
The $3.50. 900 estimate, it was
explained, was made on the basis of
/ figures presented at public hearings
| by fiscal officers Of the army. navy
! and marine corps. These figures
contemplated so per cent of the men
who served with the navy and ma
rine corps electing to take cash.
This figure may be REVISED as the
sub committee studies the matters.
There was said to be a drift of
sentiment in the committee for a
! tax of possibly one cent a gallon on
gasoline and also levy. on the
| transfer of stocks and bonds. These
are only two of a score of sugges-
tons and it was made plain that
these or any others.

com mittee is wrestling with the sub

of the original Fordnev bill with a
view to deciding what modifca tions.

ure. 1t was said to be practically
certain that the five way" program
would be retained. but that some
changes in individual plans might be
made.
There is little sentiment in the
committee now. it was stated. in
favor of the suggested decrease in
the total amount of cash that might
be received by the former service
men under option No. /, with a cor
responding increase In the value of

Wool Men Ask
Haste in Passage
FOrdney Tariff Act

Boston. Feb. S.-Members of the
National Association of Wool Man
ufacturers were asked to urge upon
their congressman and United States
senator's prompt enactment OF the
Fordney tariff act. in a resolution
passed at the Associations annual
meeting here today.
The resolution said that the wool
manufacturing industry of the Unit
ed States was in the alarming po-
sition of being obliged to pay an
extremely heavy tariff duty on raw
materials necessary for the continu-
alton of production and of having
inadequate duty on it's products"
Unless the new tariff bill is passed
and the present situation corrected
within a very short time. the reso-
luton said. 'the closing of many

Kidnapping
Raids Stirs
Obstetrics

London, Feb. 8. (By A. P.)-The
Irish situation took Z startling turn
today with the news OF wholesale and
organized kidnapping raids against
prominent Ulster unionists in the
early hours Of the morning. The nu-
merious victims, including many spe-
cial constables who were dispatched
to aid in stepping the raids were spir-
tied to unknown destinations The
capture of score Of raiders showed
that they We're attached to the Irish
republican army.
The northern government was un-
able to invoke the aid of the military
and had to Depend upon the special
forces. which apparently were not
strong enough to prevent the kidnap-
pings. The northern government ap-
pealed to the imperial government,
which took prompt steps to meet the
situation. authorizing the Belfast gov
eminent to employ British troops for
guarding the boundaries. at the same
time sending a message to Michael
mandinS that proper measures be in
itiated for the release of the captured
men and prevention Of repetition of
tie outrages.
It was announced that the men cap
tured in Sligo had already returned
to their homes, but whether as a re-
suit of the imperial governments ac-
ton is not known. No news of re-
leases elsewhere has been received.
Arthur Griffith, president of the
Dali Eireann when seen in London
tonight. confirmed the view already
given by Mr.. Collins that the raids
were rcprisals for the treatment cf
the Derry prisoners.
The incident created quite senta-
ton in the lobbies Of parliament to-
night, where it was feared it would
have a adverse effect on the Irish
negotiations and make difficult the
hoped for renewal of negotiations be-
tween Sir James Craig and Mr.. Col
Inns The small majority obtained by
the government in the House of Lords
tonight on an amendment in connec-
ton with Irish affairs is regarded to
some extent as the moral effect of the
raids. There was even in the lobby
speculation on the possibility of the
affair leading to dissolution, unless

COOPERATIVE
MARKETING BILL
PASSES SENATE
SO to l Vote a Sweeping
Win for Farm
Bloc
Measure Now Goes to Confer
ence to Adjust Differences
Provides for Relief of AssO-
Citations from Application of
Sherman Anti Trust Law !,

Washington, Feb. S.-The House
cooperative marketing bill was
passed by the Senate late today.
Only one vote, that of Senator Ger
ry, Democrat, Rhode Island, was
cast against the measure.
Two other senators, Brandegee,
Republican, Connecticut, and King.
Democrat, Utah, were paired against
the measure and withheld their
votes. The vote was oS to l and the
Senate's action was regarded by
some as the most sweeping of the
victories yet attained by the farm
bloc since. in accepting the House
bill, the Senate overrode its own
judiciary committee which had re-
ported a substitute measure. The
substitute was defeated Sc to 4. The
bill now goes to conference for ad-
justment of differences with the
House.
AS passed by the Senate the bill
retains the provisions which relieve
the cooperative associations from
| the application Of laws prohibiting
| trusts or unfair business practices,
placing the authority to determine
when such acts have been commit
ted with the secretary of agricul
ture.
During the closing hours of de-
| bate today reference was made to
the b1oc's power. This brought from
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, the statement that he had
heard the bill had administration
support.
1T is the first time in many. many
months that the majority has come
over to my side he added. 1T
happens so almighty seldom that
feel 1 must make note of it. Per-
haps the administration is behind
this bill. If that is so then I am
glad they have come over into the
same wagon with me. Whether
they came because of me or in spite
of me. I do not know. but I well
come them here"
The bill was introduced stimuli
taneously in the House and Senate
in April of last year.
The most important of the amend
ments accepted by the Senate. it
| was alleged. makes it impossible
for cooperative associations to be
"stolen" by a group of individuals
who merely by declining to admit
new members resolve themselves
into a closed corporation. Without
the amendment. the group would be
able. according to senators. to en-
gage in competitive trade. buying
other farmers products to an unlim-
tied extent. The amendment limits
any association to the handling of
the commodities Of non members so
that what was described as a throt-
tie of local business could not be
obtained.
Other important provisions Of the
| bill prescribe that no member of an
association may have more than one
vote in directing its activities re-
gardless of the amount of stock he
holds, nor can any association pay
dividends on stock or membership
capital in excess of eight per cent
a year.
