when they discovered out
lined in the footprint of
newly born baby a portrait
resembling one of Charles

Following the practice of re-

Wednesday to Mr.. and Mrs. Jack

doctors and nurses were amazed

This man had a writ to serve

There was crowd there to pre-

of thought to myself. To start with
of course the Montana tax on gas
| oline is two cents a gallon higher
than North Dakota, and they have
| contrived a way of fixing gasoline
in Montana as Tulsa, Oklahoma,
plus; that is, an arbitrary rate
has been fixed on gas from Tulsa,
Oklahoma, to Montana, which is
something like two and one-half
cents higher than the rate fixed
to North Dakota points. This is
interstate commerce and of course
these rates and arrangements are
entirely in the hands of the Inter
state Commerce Commission at
Washington. The State Railroad
Commission has no jurisdiction
whatever and the courts have held
that the Legislature has no power
to interfere with Interstate Com
merce business. But in this respect
we need not stop with gasoline.
The same is true of sugar-we pay
for sugar in Montana the Montana
price plus freight to Salt Lake City
or San Fransicco; for flour we pay
the Montana price plus freight from
Minneapolis to Montana. All steel
products are Pittsburg plus. So
that while they are complaining
they need not complain of gas
oline entirely. They may as well
charge me with the high price of
sugar and flour and other commodi-
ties, because the price of these
articles are fixed the same as the
price on gasoline.
These charges against me place
a very low estimate upon my in
tegrity and honesty, and | hope
my democratic friends will protect
me in this matter by most vigor-
ously denying and denouncing this
whispering campaign that is going
on.
