APPROVAL IS GIVEN
MARKET AGREEMENT
FOR OIL INDUSTRY
lckes Signs New Sterilization
Measure; Will Be Effec-
tive at Once

Washington. Jan. 20.-iR-secre-
.sry Ickes. acting as the oil code ad-
ministrator. Saturday gave modified
approval to the purchase and market
Ing agreements submitted to him ~
q plan for stabilizing the industry.
The agreements, submitted original
~ by - companies as an alternative
to . proposed price-fixing schedule,
become effective Immediately.
The secretary approved m order
making . violation Of the agreements
also violation Of the oil code and
subject to . fine Of $500 per day for
each day o. violation, or six months
imprisonment.
The purpose Of the two agreements
was:
!. To take the so-called distress
gasoline. which seriously affects gaso-
line prices, off the market by the es-
Enlistment Of q sterilization pool.
2. TO set up code Of fair mar
keting practices to eliminate unethical
marketing practices in the trade.
Safeguard II Provided
A safeguard was imposed In the
approval in . specification that Ickes.
as oil administrator. might cancel
the agreements ct any time should he
deem such action advisable In the
public interest.
This agreement. Ickes said, Is In
many instances q step forward. The
problem Of lease and agency and lease
and license agreements. has been sat.
isfactorily adjusted by providing for
the cancellation Of all such agree
ments. This viii tend to make free
and competitive retail market for
gasoline and luhricating oils.
Tho marketing agreement guar.
tees . margin to retail dealers, large
enough. Ickes believes. to permit the
majority Of those now In the business
to operate at . reasonable profit.
A close marketing margin Of SIX
cents Is allowed on gasoline above 90
:,ctane rating, (octane rating Is 4 unit
Of measurement Of the anti-knock
quality OF gasoline. Most Of the gaso-
line sold Is 90 octane or above) and
* cents Is allowed for gasoline below
60 octaue rating.
Another advantage Of this plan Of
sterilization & that periodical price
wars should b prevented. Ickes said.

He viewed the curtailment OF tht
employment program with . great
deal Of concern"
This curtailment Of activity
Arntson said, seems very untimely
coming Is 1t does in the middle Of
winter when there Is absolutely NJ
work opportunities Of any kind.
The need Of work relief Is greater
this winter than ever before, prin.
cipally because Of the drouth Of las

those living on the farm, and becaus.
those who have been without en-
ployment for any great length o.
time have exhausted their savings.
Industry Cannot Help
Industry and other development,
work cannot step into the breach
now and provide. even In . small dc.
gree, the work needed. The net re.
suit Is that we must 60 back to the
old system Of administering relief.
THE opinion Of q great many who
have dealt with unemployment II

yet taken by our national govern

CWA Is noticeable anywhere We may

has gone farther and done more than
all other programs in rebuilding the
morale Of our people and encourag-
ing individual initiative and this Is
something which must be accom-
plished before We can consider our
selves permanently out Of this de-
preston.
mo doubt there have been many
abuses Of the aims and purposes Of
the CWA program but that Is to Be
expected when we stop and consider
the speed (almost overnight with
which this nationwide program was
placed In effect. In principle the
theory OF the CWA Is correct. With
experience will come better training

now passing through.
"Tor the present time, In view Of
The great need among farmers and

dozen different buildings during Judge
Hosmer's term of office.
While one case was in progress, a
Juror, ON being asked if he was opposed
to the death penalty replied: In all
cases where it is not done by a Vigi-
lance committee"
In the fall of 1865 Judge Hosmer
went east, by way of the Yellowstone
and Missouri rivers, which he descend
ed on flatboats, returning to Montana
the following spring. In the summer Of
1865, the three judges, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court Judge L. E. Num-
son, Associate Justice L. P. Williston,
and Chief Justice H. L. Hosmer, held
the first session of the supreme court
at Virginia City, then the capital.
Like Judge Munson, Judge Hosmer
incurred the enmity of a certain ele-
ment here, by refusing to recognize the
legality of the sessions of the legislature
called by Acting Governor Meagher, al
though their decision was later upheld
by congress, and the laws annulled that
were passed by those bodies. On one

occasion the so-called legislature passed
a law commanding Judge Hosmer to
transfer a certain case to another coun-
ty. This he refused to do; whereupon
the elf-styled legislature demanded the
judges resignation, which he failed to
send in, but explained his own action,
and that of the legislature, in a man.
ner that exonerated him in the minds
Of all fair-thinking people.
In 1859 Judge Hosmer was appointed
postmaster of Virginia City and held
the office until he left Montana for San
Francisco, where he located, but never
again practiced law.
While a resident of Montana, he made
many friends, and some bitter enemies;
for the strife between Acting Governor
Meagher and the judiciary endured I'M
til the arrival here of Montana's second
governor, who succeeded Governor Ed
gerton. But whether enemies or friends,
none ventured to criticize Judge Hos
mer's legal ability.
He was the first to establish law in
this lawless region, and that he was
successful in this undertaking, although
hampered by much opposition, should
be sufficient to win him a lasting place
. in the history of our state.
