Gov. Baxter Says
Gasoline Price
Protests Should
Go to Washington

kilograms have been coming into
Governor Eaxter's Office protesting
against .he increase in the price OF
gasoline and tic matter Is being
looked into by the attorney generals
department.
Governor Baxter said yesterday re-
eardins thesc protests:
II regret that the price of SasO-
line has been advanced but in so far
az | am aware the state OF Maine
has no jurisdiction over gasoline pro-
ducing companies. Tho federal gov
ornment and the government of the
states In which the gasoline Is pro-
duced are the only authorities that
can handle the situation.
Maine has no power to summon to
n hearing the officials of the great
oil companies outside the state. or to
force them to bring their books into
Maine. They are entirely beyond our
jurisdiction. The agents within our
state take the gasoline and distribute
it. but nothing would DC accomplished
by calling the local agents before the
court, or legislature. as they do not
have the power to fix the price and
probably know as little about it as
the ordinary citizen.
