XVII ASHINGTON, June 3d.
NV When Attorney General Stone
IL brought suit against the

ers at Chicago to break an alleged
gasoline monopoly, the action came

Standard Development Co., Texas
Co. and Gasoline Products Co., are
seeking to extort huge sums from
other manufacturers of gasoline in
the guise of royalties, and by means

The reputable retail store, the investment house and the manufac- turer of standard merchandise all feel the effects of those who would unfairly capitalize their success. The fraudulent stock promotion scheme must use ad- ,vertising in order to succeed and this not only deprives community of money which rightfully should remain in it but also the confidence of the public in business generally is under minded.
 'sThere develops growing suspicion that dependence cannot be placed in the representations made in the sale of merchandise securities. The public becomes skeptical when it should have confidence and business suffers accord ingly.
 Business concerns themselves cannot correct these conditions except through some unprejudiced organization which, while representing all of them, sat the same time approaches their problems from the standpoint of the public in. terest. The Better Business bureau. has been bound to be an ideal organization for this purpose.

The state convention of the w.
C. T. q. held at Casper, closed Oc-
tober % and was one of the largest
and most enthusiastic meeting ever
held in the state.
The women assembled were not
willing to rest on past achievements
but to hold fast that which had
been attained and make a patriotic
gift to the United States by enlist
ing young women and young men
as honoraries in the 1925 member
ship campaign. Also to give to cur
republic enthusiastic. loyal temper
ance legions to educate the chill
dren in citizenship, law observance
and law enforcement.
To emphasize the tremendous
urge that in all election the women
shall concentrate on getting out the
dry vote for members of congress
and state legislatures. as well as
municipal and enforcement officials.
Christian citizenship emphasizes
the fact that many an opponent
of prohibition is elected to office by
the stay-at-home good peonle.
Mrs. Adrianna Hungerford. state
president of Colorado. gave several
addresses at the convention from
the subjects of achievements of fifty
years. good citizenship and our re-
sponsibility and law enforcement.
She rendered valuable aid.
Prohibition Commissioner, NJ. c.
Wachtel was on the program We'd
nesday morning and again Thursday
evening. Among other things ne
said that during the past Is months
over 700 cases have been brought
to trial and convictions in all but
five. The law enforcement depart
ment has paid expenses and left a
balance in the treasury and was not
a cause of heavy tax. He said if
the prohibition officers employed in
his department were lax in duty or
were drunk, they should be reported
directly to him and they would be
dealt with the same as any other
law violator. He advocated the
strengthening of the state law Ly
doubling the penalty, by making it
a penitentiary offense to manufac-
ture intoxicating liquor and a con-
spiracy law, making an equal pen
atty on the seller and purchaser of
Illicit liquor.

IN CIVIC BETTERMENT
Director of Organization Ameri-

Activity in the Posts.

BY the Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, June 2S.-Interest
in community and civic betterment
among members of the American
Legion is growing rapidly. according
to Garland w. Powell, director Of the
legion's national Americanism COM
mission, under whose direction this
phase of legion work is being carried
out.
Mr.. Powell's statement was based
on the hundreds of requests which
nave been pouring into the COM
munity and civic betterment bureau,
SdiviSion of the Americanism COM
mission.
while we have many reports con-
oernlng posts which have already as
sumed some community responsible
ity, it is surprising how many
legionnaires are planning campaigns
for betterment of conditions about
them" Mr.. Powell declared. Re
are received daily, and indicate that
constructive work for their neigh
bors is the principal aim of this
great group of eX-service men.
There is no intention on the part
of the legion to Supplant any
agency engaged in work of this
character, but to offer our broad
membership as an agency equipped
to align all community endeavor.
Advice furnished by the bureau
will extend to every phase of COM
munity development and civic bet
terment, Mr.. Powell said.
