ROCKVILLE, Md, March 19.-Mem-
bers of the Disaster Relief Committee
Of the Montgomery County Chapter OF
the American Red Cross, of which
Frank B. Severance of Gaithersburg is
chairman, and others interested in
drought relief in Montgomery County
met here Tuesday in furtherance of
the relief work that is being done in

Gross Committee.
William Davidson, head of the East
ern Area Drought Relief Committee Of
the American Red Cross, gave his ideas
as to how relief should be administered,
and Miss Grace England, county Red
Cross nutrition worker, told of a sur
vey In progress In the public schools
Of the county to ascertain the
children whose parents are unable
to supply them with lunches on school
days, so that they may be provided
nourishing food at noon by the Relief
Committee. She also reported that

planned what Is. being done toward ar
ranging loans for those in need of
financial assistance to purchase seed,
fertilizers, etc.

DRAWBACK DUTY
i REBATES PROBED
S14,566,994 Returned to
Manufacturers Under
Clause Last Year.

@y the Associated Press.
Drawback collecting by American
manufacturers seeking rebates on duty
levies apparently is likely to have its
drawbacks.
Customs Commissioner Eble thought
DO anyway, today, as he prepared to
move against what he considered
abuses of tariff provisions intended to
aid American producers in world
markets.
A strange assortment of ladies' wear
lay before him.
They tell me this is a corsage," the
commissioner said, peering obviously
at a'Shopworn pink organdie flower at
tached to yards of glazed cotton betting.
Embroidered Glove" Sample.
"And this, they say, is an extra spe-
cial embroidered glove" he added, hold
ing up a faded gray cotton gauntlet
adorned by a single circle of white
elk stitching.
Both articles were samples of goods
presented for the drawback" of 80
per cent of customs duties provided by
the tariff on products manufactured"
or produced" here for foreign markets
from imported merchandise.
Last fiscal year the Treasury handed
but $14,566, 994 under this clause. and
during the preceding year $13,194 900.
"Scavengering" is Cited.
Though the majority of the draw
backs are legitimate" Mr.. Eble con-
tinued, ''it appears some practices that
are virtually Scavengering have grown
up. 1t hardly seems manufacturing to
put two worthless imported articles to-
gether to export for sale at a song"
Recently a firm sought drawbacks on
1000 dozen pairs of "spotproofed" kid
gloves which had cost in duties SIS
dozen. These were outmoded one-button
things, Mr.. Eble said, and "a total loss
unless q refund of duty could be OBJ
tanned
"It seemed to me that paying this
duty back would have been just like
sticking my hand in Uncle Sans pocket
and pulling out $35, 000," Mr. Eble
added. 80 I told the spotproohng'
gentlemen If they felt they had case
In equity they could go to court. They
have not done it."
The rebate was allowed on the
korSages, the firm contending American
women might Scorn such wares, but
European peasants would be glad to pay
for them.

NEW INDUSTRIES IN
STATE REPLACING OLD

Helena, Mont, (UP)-Business
yard sticks in Montana are chang
ing.
That is the opinion of Commits
sioner A. H. Stafford, chief of the
department of agriculture, labor
and industry, who believes the day
is rapidly approaching W en-
wheat and copper will not be Mon
tana's business indicators.
Industrial operations are going
through a marked change. and
those industries which once were
regarded as the abarometers of
conditions in Montana likewise
are going through changes.
New agricultural products are
coming to the fore and will even
tually equal and even surpass
wheat as a Montana crop, the
commissioner said.
Industrially, the commissioner
notes similar trend. Instead
of purely mining, the state is be-
coming known for other mineral
industries-a broader term en-
hracing coal, oil, and gas devel-
opment.
He believes that the next decada
will see the development of the
state as one of the great centers
for tourist travel, and believes it
will furnish an increasing reven-
ue as the states scenery is adj
vertised through the East.
The Carbon County news., 1931-08-06

on December 81, 1926. Imports
in 1927 were about 5s,000,000 bar
rels.
In 1881, California will produce
about 100000 barrels less oil
than in 1930-Oklahoma's output
will be about 25,000,000 barrels
less than last year-and Texas
about 100000 barrels more than
last year. The output of the In
tied States in 1881 will be about
66,000,000 barrels less than it was
in 1880. Crude oil in storage De
cember 81, 1881 will be probably
35,000,000 barrels less than on De
cember 81, 1881. Imports in 1881
will be about 48,000,000 barrels.
Now let's draw few general
conclusions: In 1928, when Cali
fornia went on rampage, the
price structure of California, of
Oklahoma, of Texas and of the
United States as a whole, stood
the shock fairly well-as the fig
ures on the graph clearly show.
In 1927, when Seminole went on
a rampage, the price structure of
Oklahoma, or Texas, of Califor-
MIA and the United States as a
whole, stood the shock fairly we'll
also shown by the graph.
But-in 1881, when East Texas
goes on a rampage-the price of
oil in Texas, in Oklahoma, thrcu-
ghout the Mid. Continent, in the
Rocky Mountain Area, East of the
Mississippi and in California "goes
to smash"
How do you account for the fact
that "the dam" held fairly well in
1923-and again in 1927-but that
it is a "wash out in 1881?
How do you account for "dime
oil" today, in view of the fact that
production increased and stored
oil increased in 1923-and in1927-
while in 1881 the production of the
United States will decrease about
66,000,000 barrels-and crude oil
in storage will decrease probably
35,000,000 barrels?
How do you account for the fact
that during CALIFORNIA; flood her
average price for the year was 81
cents-that during Oklahoma's
flood her average price for the
year was $1.43-that during to-
days flood in East Texas the price
there averages probably a dime Z
barrel-in Oklahoma probably q
cents~-and that throughout tht
Mid Continent, with its 1,600,00(
barrels day, the average is prob
ably under 25 cents a barrel?
1t is futile to try to explain
today's price structure by laying
all the blame on East Texas. A
far more serious situation pre-.
vailed in California in 1923-ant
in Oklahoma in 1927-than cal
possibly prevail in Texas in 1881
And it is futile to try to explain
today's price structure by layins
a great deal of the blame on COX
Man Depression" Obviously boil
of these factors are contributing
to todav's low prices-bllt the,
are far from being "all of the rea
son."
Since the big end of the reason
for today's Mid Continent price
of crude oil is an open secret
wouldn't it be we'll for those wh,
are responsible to promptly "ad
just matters"-rather than hav
somebody else do it for them?
