State Board of Equalization
Comes TO Defense of Oil Industry
Against Attack of Interests

C. w. Gross, field auditor of
tie State Board of Equalization,
has addressed the following let
ter to the Tulsa Oil & Gas Jour
nal:
Oil & Gas Journal,
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Gentlemen:
After nearly two weeks study
of the opinion of your special
Correspondent published in re-
cent numbers of your Journal. |
am forced to admit that | am un
able to make up my mind fully
as to whether his contentious of
gloomy outlook for Montana's
oil production is based on plain
ignorance or equally plain malice.
In either case I would like to call
the attention of readers of your
valuable Journal to certain per-
tinent facts concerning the pro-
duction and refining Of crude in
this State.
Prior to the year 1914 there
were some seventy-five or eighty
scattered attempts to find oil in
Montana. These tests, som y
three or four hundred feet deep,
were sunk by hopeful promoters
who, in most cases, did not seem
to consider that any geological
work was needed in connection
with the location Of an oil well.
Considering the size Of Montana,
approximately six hundred miles
east and west by three hundred

Group Seeking
International
Auto Charter
Association Would Purchase
And Distribute Crude Oil
Products.

Articles of association of the
international Auto club have been
filed with the county clerk at
Shelby. j. 0. Absher, of the Alb
sher refineries, is president, Ev-
erett Musselman is vice presi-
dent, and Attorney Jesse H. Stew
ems is secretary treasurer of the
club.
The purpose of the club, !"
said Mr.. Stevens, ARE the purch-
chasing and distribution of gaso-
line and lubricating oil for club
members throughout the state at
refinery prices, plus transporta-
tion costs, state tax, and small
handling charge, distributing
through filing stations in differ
ent cities; and also the furnish
ing of crude oil to small refiner-
les that may be established in
different parts of the state and
the handling Of their product for
club members.
I'VE have filing stations at
present at Shelby, Sunburst, Con-
rad, and at the Absher Refner-
les in the Kelvin oil field. Club
members are able to purchase
gasoline in Shelby at 21 cents
while the regular price is 80 cents
We expect to make connections
with filling stations in other cit
les so we will have a statewide
membership that will have the
benefit of club prices and that
will use Montana gasoline. Our
membership fee entities h e
members to purchase gasoline
and oil at club prices at any des-
ignated filing station in Monta-
ma.
I'VE will also initiate a meas /
are to reduce the cost of automo-
bile licenses from the present
fees to one dollar for each license
the actual cost Of the license
number being. we believe, about
l3 cents as we believe the SEN
sible way to provide for the (.
of highways is thru |
the purchase of taxed gasoline !
will contribute to the upkeep of |
the highways and thus repair the |
damage they do to the roads, in |
stead Of taxing Montana autoists
for the purpose through excess
i've fees for license numbers.
We hope to prevail upon the
automobile owners in Montana to
Use Montana gasoline Ito help
ouild up a Montana industry"

'palling, devastating war as that
which ruined the world for four
years and from which we are rot
yet recovered.
"But the Legion has sense enough
because of that experience to know
that this past war did not bring
about millennium. AS long as there
are nations with different aspir-
ations, different traditions, their
own strong, jealous nationalism
and their own customs and Ian
guages, just so long will there be
danger of war. With the balkan
ization of Europe by the Treaty of
Versailles, the breaking up of big
old nations into a dozen smaller
ones, there have developed hotheads
of petty jealousies, hopeless aspir-
ations and it needs but good ex
cuse to send half of Europe flying

British Labor
Govt Denounced
BY Communists

Stafford, England, June 3O.--The
Communist party of Britain does not
like the present Labor cabinet, and
at recent meeting passed some
strongly worded resolutions denoun-
cling them as being antagonistic to
the working classes.
One such resolution proposed by
T. Bell, of Glasgow, referred to the
"treachery shown by the Royal and
Labor Government Of His Majesty
King George to the working class by
becoming the willing tool and ac-
complete CT capitalist eXploiters."
Mr.. Bell said the Labor party
leaders were reactionaries, and the
vilest creatures in the working class
movement. Once mounted to bour-
geois office they kicked away the
ladder which the working class had
raised for them, and went into the
camp of the bourgeoise. The dis
ease of empirits was running
through the whole official Labor
movement he declared.

one nation ahead at the expense of
anether-all these are but outward
manifestations of inward seething

be more futile and costly in men
and money than the last.
"People being what they are and
the conditions being as they are, for
nation to disarm itself in the
utopian belief that it will be left
alone is the sheerest folly and non
sense. The Legion does not want
war, as l said, but it has had the
bitter experience of knowing that
other nations may want war-and
the Legion knows that the last war
was not the war that ended war. Far
from it; it created a thousand rea-
sons for another one.

gument to say the best insurance
against war is a big army and navy;

Los Angeles Claims
Congestion Record

Los Angeles, June 30.-Statistics
made public by the Los Angeles
Traffic Commission reveal that Los
Angeles streets are the most con-
gested in the United States.
In making the comparisons, traf-
fic at each intersection of the prin-
cipal streets outside of the down
town area proper was recorded.
Some of the salient points which
the check disclosed were:
Los Angeles county with 425,572
automobiles Tourists machines not
included) represents 3la per cent of
the total automobile registration of
the country.
Approximately 100000 cars enter
the congested district every day.
This is said to be more than the
total number Of automobiles regis
tered in New York City Motor
traffic at Adams and Figueroa
streets is declared the heaviest in
the United States. During eleven
and a half hours of the day of the
check 69,797 cars traversed both
streets of the intersection. The to-
tai registration of Los Angeles coun-
ty is larger by 10000 than that of
New York.
The check shows that there are
three intersections in Los Angeles
that have daily movement of over
$4,000 machines; six intersection
with between 10000 and $4,000; nine
intersections with between $4,000
and 10000, and % more with move
ment of 10000 to $4,000. The figure:
show the traffic movement for only
one street of each intersection. that
is, north and south traffic or cas-
and west traffic.
