the winning of this case means {
decided reduction in the freight

will pay for your gasoline proper
tionately the same prices as your
neighbors in North Dakota pay
and you know that, in spite of the
fact that there is no oil produced
in North Dakota, gasoline is much
cheaper there than it is here. The
winning of this case will probably
not mean lie more of profit to the
Westland Oil Company on the gas
oline and other motor fuels it sells
to you. We had hoped that in the
final equitable adjustment of these
rates the excess freight that we
have paid in the past on our ship
ments from Mid Continent would
be returned to us, and that this
would offset the expense that we
are o. mourning in the case.
However, there is no likelihood
that these refunds will be made.
and we are continuing the battle
with the full knowledge that these
expenses must come out of our
own pockets.
The third reason why we have
entered this case is that in the
face Of this prohibitive freight rate

field we are compelled to supply
our Montana stations from Mon

BLOWS AGAINST
BEER MEASURE
BIGGEST CROWD OF HEARINGS
JAM COMMITTEE ROOM
CANNON LEADS

washington, Dec. lo.-COHlTOu
ed by a powerful movement to mod
ify the prohibition laws, chieftains
in the dry cause smashed their full
force against the Collier beer bill,
Tuesday before the house ways
and means committee.
They were led by Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, who asserted
congress is without authority to
fix the alcoholic content of bever-
ages, and they enthusiastically bat
tered their argument at the COM
mittee despite close questioning
from its members.
Drawing the largest crowd that
had damned the big chamber since
the hearings began last Wednes-
day with the vets testifying, the
drys put forward Deets Pickett, re-
search secretary of the board of
temperance prohibition and public
morals of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. Mrs. Ella A. Boole, the
president of the National Women's
Christian Temperance union, and
Canon William Sheaffe Chase of
the International Reform fedora
ton, were among others to fight
the proposed legislation.
More Dry Witnesses
In the face of this heavy assault
ON the Democratic modification
plan, Speaker Garner forecast that
the beer bill would be brought be-
fore the house next Tuesday. Lat
Ell indications were however, that
it might be delayed. Chairman Col
lier said more dry witnesses, in
addition to Secretary Mills, would
be heard by the committee We'd
nesday.
Delegates to the Anti-SaloOn lea
que convention adopted resolutions
calling for united action in behalf
of the prohibition laws and pre-
pared to present them to the ways
and means committee through Sup
e~rintendent F. Scott Mcbride, who
will testify Wednesday.
Appalling Prospect
The chamber became so stuffy
that one woman tainted, causing
considerable disturbance. She was
revived quickly, as attendants op-
ened windows to let in the crisp
December air.
Pickett opened his remarks with
a statement that the Methodist
Episcopal church lis opposed to
the licensed liquor traffic., and to
any modification of the law which
ignores the purpose of the people
in the enactment of prohibition"
There is nothing in this propos-
ed legislation to prohibit the adj
vertising of beer by radio, in the
press, or otherwise" he added, ex-
planning that it presents an ap-
palling prospect" He said, too, he
was not convinced the provision in
the bill sufficiently protected dry
states.
Vigorous questioning followed,
but the dry leader replied just as
emphatically. He reiterated that
his church was Opposed to the
licensed liquor traffic whether that
traffic consists of beer, wine or
strong liquor"

tant and unjust, and il gasoline
prices in Montana are to be fair
then these rates must be fair also.
We have long realized this. We
have known also that these freight
rates are a matter of immediate
concern to every resident of north
eastern Montana. We have urged
some of the larger consumers of
petroleum in this territory to use
their efforts to get these rates
corrected. We have brought these
excessive rates to the attention Of
your members of Congress and
other officials. We have repeated
ly asked the railroads to grant us
falr rates, but no consideration
was accorded us, and finally the
Westland Oil Company formally
demanded of the Great Northern
Railway Company an adjustment
Of these rates, but no definite move
for an equitable rate adjustment
was offered us.
We decided that if the territory
we serve was to be relieved of this
burden of unreasonable rates the
Westland Oil Company would have
to undertake the job. We did not
underestimate the size of the task
mat he have set out to do. We did
not undervalue the difficulties
which we would encounter. We
knew that it would cost the West
land Oil Company thousands of dol
lars in actual expense and a great
amount of work. We knew that we
would be opposed by every other
OIL company, large and small, that
is now being benefited by this pro-
tectlve freight tariff wall. Yet on
January IL, 1881 we formally op
the fight by filing a complaint
against these rates with the Inter
state Commerce Commission at
Warrington, D. C.
Many have asked me why the
Westland Oil Company undertook
this job. They have been curious
to know the object my company
had in spending good hard cash
such a deal. The answer is sim
pie. We have three very good reas-
)ns for III efforts to get a fair
freight rate into northeastern
Montana. The first is that we sin
;erely subscribe to the idea that
he profits most who serves best.
