Butte Gas War
Lowers Price
(By United Prcss.)

BUTTE, July P.)-The gaso-
line war, which local motorists have
been eagerly awaiting, got under way
here this week, and to date had re-
suited in victory for the public a
reduction of four and one-half cents
per gallon in the retail price of gaso-
line
The Community Mutual company's
first station opened last Wednesday
morning, retailing gasoline at % cents
per gallon. One independent opera
tor Immediately met the reduction but
the major oil companies hesitated
maintaining the customary 27l2 cent
charge but after watching the Com
munity do a record breaking business
finally met competition later in the
day
The situation apparently had reached
the stalemate stage with both fac
tons waiting for the other to make
the next move There was no price
slashing below the % cent mark re-
ported, and it was assumed that the
larger companies would content them
selves by merely meeting the Com
munity price and would not start q
general price cutting campaign.
Organized by former chamber Of
commerce committee, which resigned
after the chamber refused to act or
its recommendations to establish gas
oline stations in order to force dowr
prices, the Community company is .
cooperative enterprise. Funds for the
undertaking were secured by SUBJ
scription and through the sale of MEM
bership cards. Its officers are James
H. Rowe, chairman; DR.. H. D. Kistler
Fred P. Holbrook, Paul A. Cow ano
Daniel Coleman. All are prominent
citizens of Butte No member of the
personnel, except the men who labor
at the plant receives salary or COM
pensation.
What is believed to be a record
breaking day, in point of the volume
of business transacted by one station
was established by the Community or
its opening day
The station was opened by one at
tendant who, when greeted by long
lines of cars at all four entrances
called out the full force of five at
PENDANTS, and they were kept busy
cranking the pumps until the closing
hour. Cars were serviced at the rate
of 100 an hour, total of 1929 Gus

first fifteen hours of operation.

In a circular mailed to motorists
prior to the opening of its first station

Archie McTaggart, prominent Butte

the ceremony McTaggart gave him two
coins which apparently were $40 and

slipped them in his pocket, expressing
his best wishes to the bride and groom.
Later he examined the coins. One
was a two-cent piece, and the other
a penny, both issued by the Republic

Where the Blame Belongs.

President Hoover in special message
yesterday called the attention of Con-
gress to the fact that it has so far not
finally passed single one of the meas
ures for the better enforcement of the
prohibition and other laws which he
recommended at the outset of the ses-
sion. This reminder of the President
is very proper. The session is drawing
toward a close. A great deal Of time
has been devoted in both Houses of
Congress to speeches denouncing the
lack of law enforcement. These speeches
have not been made alone by "wets."
Some Of the leading supporters Of pro-
hibition enforcement In the Senate have
attacked the administration because Of
violations of the dry laws. Borah,
Norris, Brookhart have had their say
on this subject. But outside of talk,
Congress has done nothing. The ad-
ministration, on the other hand, under
the laws that exist, has improved the
personnel and increased the efficiency
of the Federal machinery in criminal
law enforcement.
The President and the members OF
the Law Enforcement Commission, after
much study Of the situation, submitted
