GASOLINE CUT
IS HEAVIER
IN NO. DAKOTA
Price Now Based on Actual
Shipping Point, Standard
Oil Officials Say

North Dakota's recent cut in gaso-
line prices made by the Standard Oil
Company varied from 1-2. to 3 1-2
cents gallon by that company, ac-
cording to Standard Oil officials.
The variation is due, it is stated by
F. E. Packard of Chicago, attorney
for the company, because the STAN
dard put into effect price, based
upon the actual freight charges from
the refinery shipping point.
Governor Nestos, last summer, in
statement asserted that the STAN
dard Oil Company based it's price
for North Dakota upon Superior,
Wisconsin, as a shipping point when
in fact the gasoline was not now
shipped to North Dakota from there.
Most of it comes from Casper, Wy
oming. The Standard Company
promised to put into effect as soon
as normal conditions obtained a
price based upon the actual shipping
point. The result is, according to
officials, that the average reduction
in price of gasoline per gallon is
considerably greater in North Da-
kota than in other states of the
Northwest.
The cut last week was smallest in
Grand Forks where it was O.4 cents
per gallon and largest in Golva
where it was 3.6 cents, according to
Standard officials. The cut in price
per gallon at some other places fol-
lows: Fargo .05, Beach 3.2, Mar
marth 3.2, Williston 2.3, Bismarck
1.s, Minot 1.6, Hettinger 2.6, Hebron
25, jamestown LIS, Mandan 1.9,
Devils Lake 1.3, Rhame 800.
On the basis Of the Standard Oil
sales Of 27,0OO,O0O gallons Of gasoline
each year in the state the reduction
is figured by officials as amounting
to $425, 900 annually.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Stirred by
Charles r. Forbes charges against
committee counsel, John F. Organ
told the senate investigating com.
mittee today that he expected tc
prove "convincingly the whole truth
of Mortimer's charge that Col Forbes
was one of the gang of conspirators
that were tied together, teeth and
jowl, to defraud the governmen
81 expect further to show" Organ
said, "that this criminal conduct
was in consonance with his pre-
vious life's record"
The statement Of General Organ,
who is the committees general coun-
sci, was made Immediately on re-
sumption Of the hearing and before
the cross-examination of the former
director of the Veterans Bureau was
resumed.
yesterday in the cross-examina-
tion of Col. Forbes" Organ said,
"he made charges that the testimony
thus far introduced which impeaches
his character is not only false but
it is the result of subordination of
perjury and the coercion of wit
nesses.
"He also charged that documents
and papers which would have indi.
Gated the innocence of Col. Forbes
were withheld by counsel for the
committee.
"When asked for proof of these
charges the witness said that his
counsel was in possession of the
proof and thereupOn his counsel said
he was prepared to offer the proof
to- the committee.
II did not wish at that time to
abandon the cross-examination of
the witness to 60 into collateral
matter. 1t is we'll known recourse
of embarrassed witnesses to discharge
attention from themselves by st-
tacking others.
"Col. Forbes l regarded as ire
sponsible. l expect however to prove
much more than .irresponsibility in
his .conduct of office and his lack
of care of the disabled.
COI. EaSDy-Smltn, counsel for
Forbes, is an officer of the court
and is responsible and I ask him
here and now if he has any proof of
any improper action toward any
witnesses or improper action Of any
other character upon my part or on
the. part Of Major Arnold, my assist
ant"
Chairman Reed interrupted to say
that the committee had announced
repeatedly that this was not q trial
of Forbes or any other person and
that the committee did not desire
to lose sight of the main issue which
is the investigation of the Veterans
Bureau. He added, however, that if
the committees processes had been
used for the suppression Of truth the
committee desired to know it.
