GASOLINE PRICES
Cheyenne Tribune)

A state which produces no petrol
cum necessarily must import all the
gasoline which it consumes or the
petroleum from which to refine
gasoline which it consumes
A state which produces petrol
cum, but which does not produce it
in quantity sufficient to provide
all the gasoline which it consumes,
necessarily must import a portion
of its gasoline which it
1t would appear from these facts
that in a state which produces no
petroleum the price of gasoline
should be higher than in states
which produce petroleum, but not
in quantity sufficient to supply
their gasoline demands, the price
of gasoline should be higher than
in a state which produces petrol
cum in quantity sufficient, or more
mand for gasoline. The market
does not operate that way. how
ever. Between the production of
the petroleum from which gaso-
line is extracted, and the delivery
of the gasoline to the consumer by
the retail dealer a number of fac
tors affecting price to the ultimate
consumer intervene. The effect of
these is that the implication here
inbefore sketched does not apply
and the state which produces, pc
troleum in quantity sufficient, or
more than sufficient, to supply its
gasoline needs may pay more for
gasoline than does a state which
produces no petroleum or a state
which produces petroleum, but not
in amount sufficient to supply all
its gasoline needs or even more
than a virtually negligible part of
those needs.
Wyoming is a state in point. This
is a state which ranks among the
highest in petroleum production
and among the lowest in gasoline
consumption. 1t produces far more
gasoline hat it consumes, yet Wy-
omingites pay more for gasoline
than do residents of statesein which
no petroleum is produced. "Why?"
has been asked frequently. A def
mite, exact answer never was
vouchsafed.
Comparison of the price of gaso-
line at a point in Wyoming with
the prices at points in states which
produce no petroleum, and at points
in states which do not produce pc
troleum, in quantity sufficient to
supply their gasoline needs, is inter-
Information essential to an
exact comparison is not at hand,
but the information on which the

Mr.. Lindou serves notice that he

 LARGER NAVY PLAN
Navy Department Calls for Re
 placement Craft

Washington, Dee. 14 lP-Pro- jccted material additions 10 the naval war fleet soon will await the approval of President Coolidge, who suggested their need in his recent message to congress.
 On the basis Of those recommen- dations, the navy department has submitted to the budget bureau n program calling for new construction and replacement craft over . five year period. as the first step in a move 10 supplant all American war ships with new ones within 20 years. New cruisers, submarines. destroy CT leaders. destroyers and cruiser replaCements are included in the five year program. but their number and cost are secrets held by the navy and the budget bureau.
 It is known, however. that no pro- vision IS made for battleships be- caus" under the Washington arms treaty none may be built until after 1881.
 Navy officers estimate that new construction for the first phase Of , the 2h-year proposal will cost s65.- oo0.0o0 a year, They placed the present value of the entire fleet at Sl,60O, 00o. GOO.
 Simultanc ously with the navy's announCement. it was said at the Nm'e lionse that reports that the president had approved q great nav al building program were not cor rect. 11a undcrst oo1, 1t was said, that the navy dr partment was consider ing his recommendations for addi- tional fleet equipment but that ihc question had not yet been brought back 10 him for study.
 Speaker Longworth of the house disclosed, however, that he had dis cussed naval expansion with the president since congress convened. and that he believed the house was ready 10 support an ''adequa te" building schedule. Mir. IongNorth said he understood the navy's plan 10 call for 25 cruisers. five fleet sub marines, jS destroyer leaders, or , airplane carriers and four battle ships, the latter for construction after 1881.

.CAP0NE IS MAN
 WITHOUT A CITY
Even Enterprising Los Angeles
 Doesn't Want Him

Los Angeles Dec. 14 P-Los Angeles has found at least one mid dlewesterner whom 1t does not want for a 'Scarface Al' Capone. reputed beer baron and gangland boss of Chicago.
 Virtually a man without a city, Capone today was speeding eastward oi a train which he and two travel ing companions had boarded under he watchful eye of "Roughouse" Brown, big Los Angeles police de tective. who acted as their official escort on orders from the city hall
 To reporters, Capone philosophical dryly on his enforced departure and bemoan the fact that he also was q man without a drink. Shortly before the train left he discovered that a jug of wine was missing from his luggage.
 , We have no room here for Ca pone or any other visiting gansster," " said James F. Davis. Los Angeles chief of police as he served notice on Capone that he wasn't desired as a tourist.
 Chicago can get along nicely without Capone or his ilk.' Chief Of Police Hughes of Chicago was quot ed as saying yesterday in announc- ing that Al Capone isn't coming back to Chicago"
 That's funny said Capone. when told of Hughes statement just be- fore he boarded the eastbound train. I'm a property owner and a tax payer in Chicago and I ainly can return to my own home. Anyhow 1 don't believe the chief said that. It's probably some newspaper mak- ing it hot for me again."
 Although he dubbed Los Angeles as the wrong town," Capone said he liked the country and intended to return 10 southern California. A friend. he said, had given him the "open sesame" to Los Angeles.
 I've found out what to do," he said. When I get little business iChS Ai4 NhiSoSO l III Solli6 u sSilH out lot of money here and have some real estate man buy me large house. Then I'll be a taxpayer and they cant send me away. Anyway, when the real estate men find out I've money they won't let me go, even if l want to.
 "Why should everybody in this town pick on me-" he went on. "I wasn't going to do anything here. I no more get in town than the po- lice look me up. Then the newspa- pers begun to write pieces about me. Then they throw me out of my hotel and the police tell me to get back to Chicago. And now some one has stolen my wine. Fine coun- try when l am so peaceful.
 I'm all burned up. but you can't keep me away. because ] like the country. I'm coming back pretty soon."

License Director c. Il. Maybury

ceiyed the active cooperation Of
automobile dealers, 1t comes about
this way. The makers of one pop
ular ear, discovering that automo-
bile license records were gathered
by the automobile chamber of com
merce and the different car build
ers were credited with expand
ing sales ON the basis OF state re.
turns, made it an unbreakable
rule that no new ear be delivered
until a new license is obtained.
The result is a full report for sales
of this particular car. Now the
companies that believe they suf-
fer by comparison have ordered
dealers 10 require new licenses and
the penalty for permitting the
transfer III old plates to a new car
is a loss Of commissions.

There was no loss Of life as far as

fact was attributed largely to the
