IDAHO WANTS
80 CHEAPER GAS!

Throughout Nebraska and points
in the middle west gasoline is sell
ing for Is cents per gallon, on the
west coast it costs 1Sc to zoe, includ-
/, ing state tax. In Burley and other
parts of Idaho, the price is now 20 "
cents, having been 27k cents up
until the last week. OF this amount
the state collects two cents as a
state tax.
This means a difference of 8h
cents per gallon between middle
west points and this state. A slight
increase in freight might justify a
differential of a cent or two; but
there is no logical reason why the
people in this section should be over
charged to pay fat dividends to the
big oil companies.
That there is something radically
wrong with the marketing of gas
oline is indicated by the fact that
there is widespread in retail
prices in various parts of the United
States President Coolidge some
time ago ordered an investigation of
>-this situation, and a partial report
has been made.
Within the past few days Attorney
General Stone has started further
inquiry. The report of the federal
trade commission on the subject,
made at the request of the president,
contains information, Mr.. Stone said,
which warrants a further investiga-
ton of the several phases of the
problem.
Department officials described the
trade commissions report, which has
never been made public, as very
interesting" but indicated that it
was incomplete in some ways, and
the department of justice now will
delve into the leads thus afforded.
Mr.. Stone was said to believe that
such an inquiry might supply the
government not only with better
knowledge of what is going on in
the whole oil industry, but with evil
dence which it might use in its in
junction suits recently filed in Chi
cago to break up selling agreements.
Apparently the oil business is
operated on the basis of charging
all the traffic will bear" In some
states, where agitation was started
against high prices, material reduc-
tions were made. In other states,
like Nebraska and South Dakota,
activity on the part of the governors
resulted in relief to motorists. How
ever, it is not properly the function
of the state governments to intrude

of such institutions spreading dis
eases with which they may have come
in contact.
another important danger is that
of admitting patients to hospitals or
institutions without proper care.
Often patient brought into a ward
will develop some contagious illness
which spreads to other patients. We
have had eight or ten such instances
reported this year.
"After full discussion and study of
the problem from all viewpoints the
Board of Health and Board of Con-
troll hope to adopt regulations which
will eliminate such dangers"
The new regulations probably will
not be adopted and put into effect
until the quarterly meeting of the
board of health in October, DIR. Ches-
ley said.-St. Paul Dispatch.

In this particular case 1t has not
been found that any carelessness at
the hospital was responsible for Miss
Mans infection with the disease.
Another nurse at the hospital was
suffering from scarlet fever at the
time, but according to Miss A. II
Patterson, superintendent, was COM
pletely isolated. It was impossible,
Miss Patterson declared, that Miss
Maus could have contracted the dis
ease from the isolated patient.
There was much scarlet fever in st.
Paul at the time, and the source OF
infection of either of the hospital en-
ployes could not be traced, she stat
ed.
DR.. A. ]. Chesley, executive officer
of the State Board of Health, stated
that investigation has shown the
statewide situation regarding protec-
ton against contagious infections in
hospitals and institutions 'is mat
ter of great public Importance and
deserves the most serious considera-
tion."
"The Draayom case" he stated,
sswas not responsible for the begin
ming of our investigation, but it did
serve to bring matters to q head.
a1t points out wildly the dangers
of any carelessness among hospital
employees, although in this specifs in
stance, of course, carelessness has not
been determined. Strict regulations
must be followed to prevent any pos
sibility Of nurses or other employees

Investigates Case
TRIPLE DEATHS AS NINE OF
FAMILY ARE STRICKEN
CAUSES ACTION.

Three times in the past six months
an undertaker's hearse has stopped
before the farm home of Bert Draay-
ON at Walnut Grove, MINI.
The first time it carried away the
body of Gerrit Draayom, 20 years old,
the eldest child and chief help Of his
parents.
Next came the funeral of Swear
old Bert, Jr., babay of the family.
The third time the somber vehicle
appeared it was to claim the body of
1O-year-old girl, Eta Draayom.
There were no neighbors and
mourning friends at these rites.
Even the mother and brothers and
sisters of the dead could not follow to
the cemetery, for a quarantine card
held all within the house prisoners.
For six months the card remained,
while Mrs. Draayom, sister and
four children, besides the three who
died, lay suffering from the scourge
of scarlet fever.
Of the whole family of eleven per-
, sons, only Mr.. Draayom and one son
did not contract the disease.
This tragedy started from the visit
of a student nurse from a St. Paul
hospital, who unknowingly carried the
death germs into the Draayom home.
And out of the throes of human suf-
fering which enwrapped the stricken
household has developed statewide
investigation of contagious disease
dangers in all Minnesota hospitals,
maternity homes, orphanages and
similar institutions.
The probable result, according to
officials of the State Board of Health,
will be a complete revision of state
regulations with respect to contagi-
Gus diseases in institutions.
Tuesday at 10 a. m. the situation
will be brought to head at meet
ing of representatives of 261 such in
stitutions with officials of the Board
of Health and State Board of Con-
troll. The meeting will be held in
the Senate chamber of the Capitol.
Open discussion of the problem from
every angle will be sought by the
state officials to pave the way fol
adoption Of rules which win give bet
ter protection to the public and to the
hospitals and other institutions in
volved.
1 The Draayom case, because of its
unusually tragic features, served tc
arouse officials to the need for imme-
date action, but it is declared to be
only one Of numerous similar exam
pies.
On February 9 Miss Sophia Maus
student nurse at st. Luke's hospital
went to visit her sister, Mrs. Draayom
Shortly after arriving at the farm
she became i'll, and doctor next day
found she was suffering with scarlet
fever. The three deaths and lony
siege of sickness and suffering among
other members of the family fol
lowed.
