THE AUTOS TOLL

CHAIN STORES

With MontgomeryWard putting in branch store
at Wiliston and a certain chain store company
showing their dislike for the farmers papers of both
Williston and Plentywood as publicity organs that
should do good business in this territory but
we understand that effort will be made to get
branch store in this city by the farmers of Sheridan
county and citizens of Plentywood, who anxious
to see Pentywood gain the benefits therefrom rather
than Williston. Wherever the Montgomery Ward
stores have been located they liberal advertisers
and it is doubtful if their managers could be swayed
by certain elements in city to the detrment of their
companys interests.
Williston is preparing site for the store
and is of receiving the support of the farmers
paper, which is the largest paper at Williston and
while at this time the lack of patronage by the said
chain store may be felt in small way by the farmers
newspapers, time may tell different story.

GET ON TO YOURSELF, BURLEY

Burnley Bowler of the Scobey Sentinel last week
went into another of his periodical "fits' last week
because Senator Taylor deemed it best to keep the
handling of auto licenses where it is at present instead
of spreading it over the state.
After reading the editorial, one can only come to
the conclusion that while figures don't e liars figure
We wonder why Burley doesn't put himself up for
state representative senator-perhaps he is still
a subject of King George.
1t would be great sport to watch Burey passing
laws on anything, outside of poker game, and even
at that he would not be much of an authority if he
hasn't showed any progress from the time he left
Pentywood because the boys around the green cover
ed table always kept him broke while here
When person like Burley Bowler assais man like
Senator Taylor it is well to look at the accomplish

1928 profits were at least 1870 larger
than those accumulated in 1927. In

GASOLINE - CENTS IN CALIFORNIA

It will be interesting to read that motorists In Ca
fornia are buying gasoline for IL cents gallon WIN
state tax paid while Montanans pay more than Twice
that amount for their gasoline and we also, have oil
wells in this state.
This wide divergence in price is well worth thinking
over Either the California companies are operating
at a huge loss or the oil companies in Montana are
making huge profit 1t doesn't take mucn OF
mathmetcan to figure out that the huge oil concerns
are not selling their products at less than costnere
is no philanthropy in big business.
If Montanans could buy gasoline at IL cents' tney
would surely have no objection to the cents gasoline
tax We wonder if the solons at Helena gave THIS
matter serious thought when they proposed the i've
cent gasoline tax for highway purposes
Maybe an investigation of the prices of gasoline IN
Montana as compared with other states might bring
forth results pleasing to the people of the state rather
than the hardship of greater taxes.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if our legislators would
on to the State Capitol with the avowed purpose OF
helpng out their constituents by lowering the hgn
cost of living rather than increasing it, and perhaps
this might be done along with the necessary improve
ents of progressive state being carried out as Is
intended with out more taxation the big corporations
paid their just share and the prices of some OF our ma
tural resources were Investigated.
Gasoline in California 12c, in Montana all the way
from 25 to &c. Think it over.

but one also sees quaint old-time pat

large all-over leaf-and-flower designs
that are neither moderniStic nor pre-

fewer of the jumbled "vegetable-salad'
