THE Standard Oil Company lind
lanai has announced an immediate


reduction in the price of gasoline OF
&C per gallon applicable throughout the
entire territory in which it does business.
1t asserts that the retail prices thus
made are below the cost of production
and distribution.
The Governor of the State of South
Dakota, buying distress gasoline below
cost of production, and charging against
the State no adequate cost of distribu-
.tion, is selling gasoline to the public IN
the State of South Dakota at l6c per
gallon.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana),
operating on it's established policy that
the customers who purchase its goods
should never be compelled to pay a
higher price than that fixed and main
tanned by any competitor, quality and
service being duly considered, has met
this price.
Other State Executives and Officers of
municipalities, with entire propriety,
have suggested that any prices made in
South Dakota be made applicable in
their States. Competitors In other
states and communities over the terri
tory, also buying distress gasoline below
cost Of production, have also cut the
prices hitherto established and main
tanned. in substantial amounts.
In establishing the above price, the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
not endeavoring to injure any OF It's
councillors In anV way.
1t deprecates the stand taken by some
of it's competitors that the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) is endeavoring, by
reason of meeting these cuts in price and
these demands for lower prices, to put
it's competitors out of business.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
does not wish to put any competitor out
of business because it feels that COMPETE
tors are necessary to the successful con-
duct of it's business. 1t will welcome
change of attitude on the part of all
parties concerned resulting In a reason
able price FOR gasoline which will enable
not only it but all of it's competitors to
enjoy a reasonable profit.
1t recognizes that the majority of its
competitors are fine business men, en-
titled to the fairest treatment both by
the public and by this Company.
The present situation is an exact parallel
to one where the butcher, the grocer, the
druggist, the dry goods and shoe mer-
chants and every other retailer would be
forced to sell at less than the wares cost.
How long would it last? What would
a condition like this do to all of us-if
it persisted and spread?
We want no monopoly-seek none. We
want your trade-but only on the basis
of quality and service-not as the result
of impossible prices.
We want competition-you want us to
have it. 1t makes the scales of business
balance.
These are not idle words. They mean
just what they say.

Fined For Driving
Truck Without Muffler

Leland Tobey of Weston street,
Augusta was arraigned in the Gardi-
ner Municipal court Tuesday morn
ing before Judge Will c. Atkins on a
charge of operating a motor truck
without muffier. Tobey who drives
q State truck went through the
streets of Gardiner about noon Mon
day, and his macine made SO much
noise that several horses were
frightened so that they became un-
controllablc, and caused consider
able excitement, and some damage.
1t was also claimed that he had
violated the law by passing an cleo
trio car when passengers were being
discharged. Many complaints were
made on this matter, although the
public did not think that anything
could be done about it. Chief Of
Police Dunn looked into the matter,
and it was through his efforts solely
that the offender was brought into
court.
Tobey was fined. and 1t is hoped
that this will be q lesson to others
in Gardiner and vicinity who have
been rather careless in this matter.
Credit is due the Chief for his excel
lent and prompt work in this case.
