PRICE OF Gas
JUMPED To
70 CENTS
Mid-Westsrn War Ended by In
pendents' Protest to Gov.
McMastOrs.

CHICAGO. Aug. ia return to
higher gasoline prices as sudden
as the drop which motorists vel.
coined two days ago, doomed today
and for the same reason, a shift
in the South Dakota situation.
The board of directors Of the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana
meeting today will consider q boost
from the 1874 cent price here az the
result Of the agreement Of Cover
nor w. H, McMaSter Of South
Dakota ana Independent producers
to jump the gasolipe price in that
State from 16 to 20 cents. Cover
nor McMaster's cut to 16 cents at
state highway filling stations
brought the action Of Standard Oil
Company In making comparable
cuts in eleven Mid-Western States.
Independent producers in South
Dakota protested to the governor
that the 1s-csnt rate was ruinous
to them.
r. w. Stewart. chairman Of the
board Of the Standard Oil Company
Of Indiana. admitted that the next
price change may carry prices even
above 20 cents and declared that
McMaster's change of front sup
ported the Standards contention
that the action in cutting from %
to 16 cents was premature ana
not based, on sound production
costs.
Motorists In an eleventh hour
rush continued to take all cheap
gasoline they could handle. q Situa'
ton which CITY officials claim has
caused q fire menace through the
storage Of gasoline in every avail
able container.

Ell OBJETO DE LA REFORMA
La intencion del senador Ashurst,
al sugerir esos cambios, consisten en-
impedir que los senadores y repre-
sentantes, derrotados en- las eleccio-
nes de noviembre, intervengan va en-
la legislation. En- otras palabras,
hacienda que ell Congreso recien cleo
to Sc reuna en- Enero, Sc pone fin
al poder de los llamados "patos CO.
jos" para legislar. Su periodic ter
minara el 81 de Diciembre, Y ell nue.
vo congreso, confrmado por ell vo-
to del pueblo, sera el llamado for
mular las leyes.
Los defectos del actual sistema Sc
manifestation bien claros despues de
las elecciones generates de 1922. En-
esa batalla perdieron sus puestos
13 senadores Y mas de lao repre-
sentantes. Entire elIos habia algu-
nos de los mas prominentes lideres,
como ell lider republican, de la Ca
mara Mr.. Mondell, y ell presidente'
de la Comisi6n de Hacienda del Sc
nado Mr.. McCumber.
No obstante su retro, esos MEM
bros derrotados, pudieron, mediante
la ley actual, volver a ocupar sus
pupitres votar materias legislatl-
vas que estaban en- @mpleto des-
acuerdo con su electorado.
va Sc hizo un esfuerzo por va
riar ell sistema cuando ell Senado
aprobo una resolution" de Mr.. Nor
ris para cambiar la fecha de la
Inauguration Y ell comienzo de las
sesiones congresionales. En- la Ca
mara no paso la mocion, porque
Mondell, uno de los "patos coJos",
uno de los que tenian que cesar en-
breve, Sc nego que ell proyecto Sc
presentara siquiera. Ell era ell lider
de la mayoria.
