company a yearly slice, well
grayied.
. In this contract the seller agrees
to sell. the amount used in ten
certain project districts within
the period of one. year, the oil
being identified by only trade
names at the prices designated
on attached sheet"
A glance at that attached sheet
excites suspicion. No signers ap-
pear on it and signatures belong
at the end of a contract when
every thing is intended to be
above-board. They appear at
the bottom of the first page only,
and on the second page, the at
tached sheet, are prices and speci-
fcations, items which represent
what is generally thought to be
of sufficient materially to cor
raj inside of the contracts sig
nature-boundary, Perhaps they
were not corralled because of the
agility of those items, then, or
anticipated future agility.
And the attached sheet is not
attached but merely clipped. This
sheet, not signed and not prov
ably attached, conveys the impor-
tant interests or considerations
of both parties in. the contract,
namely, the price rate and the
specifications. These items can
be in no way termed after
thoughts, because their impor-
lance would blot out the compar-
atively small detail of rewriting
the contract properly Cor at least
signed as codicils) and because
the files show that the purchasing
agent has been regularly draw
ing up, such unsigned. attached

Erickson acts not personally
on. those contracts but as agent
for the unconscious state. The
explanation for using attached
sheets for prices and specihca-
tons is, that the agent and the
oil. company are Of one mind

CnanSe, without d1VdReHln9 the
state via a new attached sheet.
AS they always agree, and at the
expense of the state, it is not
necessary to anticipate the devel-
opment of any situation which
would require proof that the al
tached sheet was a part of the
contract.
The attached sheet lacks any
specification of quantity. No
round numbers outline what the
lot basis was for fixing the per-
gallon price. Nothing about it
on either page. The price quoted
is top for the smallest trader in
single drum lots and still, hidden
over on page one is the unassmn-
ing provision for the oil used in
ten districts during one year.
That consumption equals thirty
thousand gallons annually, which
is some substantial lot, in any
mans language, upon which to
command low per barrel prices
on.
But think how sweet the
thought to a seller to close a
deal for thirty thousand gallons
at the price going i'll single drum
lots AT any rate it would be
sweet in a legitimate deal where
there was nothing off the top
| Incidentally, the Barnsdall Co.
is quoting its ''Be Square. Motor
Oils at almost exactly the same
price to small dealers and in one
drum lots. That price is fifty
two cents and it is just twenty
cents too high and above reason
abieness for that oil in large
quantity lots. Twenty cents for
gravy, and that is about the usual
forty per cent. Twenty cents per
gallon on that lot totals sir thou
sand dollars of spoils.
The principle hurdle for these
contracting conspirators to get
over was in circumventing or try
ing to circumvent the statutory
provision that purchases for the
state involving five hundred dol
lars or more must be made thru
competitive bidding. There zvas
no competitive bidding on this
contract and yet the state paid q
sum thirty times greater than the
legal limit set for mon-bid pnr-
chdses.
No amount of juggling in de-
liveries and warrants can justify
or legalize that contract. It's
ficud pure and simple and the
purchasing agent knows it be-
c:.use he has revived the ancient
legal method of competitive bids
since the Saturday Press COM
menced exposing irregularities
prevailing so generally in the
farmer-labor administered state
purchasing offices.

"A Bilr'-That's what it says
on the printed sheet-"A' Bill
It's the most dizzy of all the dizzy
bills to be found in the entire
dizzy list introduced this session
of the legislature. This " A Bill"
provides, that:

moneys in the State Treasury,
not otherwise appropriated, to
reimburse the General Drivers,

ing been introduced in the House
by Representatives Bennett and
Bellman-farmer-labor members.
If that bill is passed, | see no
reason why companion bill isn't

the state treasury over to tine
communists, intact and entirely.
The bill is an insult to every
citizen of the state-an insult to
their intelligence and citizenship.
AS briefly as possible let's re-
view the damage done the

nesota National Guard: 49,
In May, 1884, the communist
element, agitators and radicals,
established a general headquarters
at 1900 Chicago Avenue in this
city "a general headquarters
from which to conduct ''strike. -
From that headquarters, "cruiser
cars went out under orders to
commit acts of violence. From
that headquarters orders were is
sued that were in direct and open
violation of state and federal law.
In front of that headquarters,
traffic was molested, peaceful
citizens insulted, police defed,
and IN that headquarters two of
them were assaulted and almost
killed. AT no time did the author
tiles exercise their unquestionable
right to take that headquarters by
force-by force, even to the ex-
tent of using the military forces
of the state.
In July, less than sixty days
after the May strike had been
"settled," after the strike leaders
had agreed to the terms of settle
ment and their dupes gone back
to work, another general head
quarters was established-this
time IN the loop district. The
were growing bolder !!

quarters was conducted, as the

Chicago avenue headquarters had
been a few weeks earlier, like a
military camp. Sentries were
established, cruiser cars sent out
filled with armed men. Peaceful
citizens were molested, private
cars stopped, traffic interfered

lice were threatened with death
by men sent out from general
headquarters of the communist
agitators stronghold IN the heart
of the largest city i'm the north

headquarters to peaceful pick

The police force of the city
was inadequate to cope with the
rioters. The governor refused
to lend the assistance of the
states troops. He had had them
out in the hinterlands 4herding
starving cattle away from luscious
grazing grounds - the famous
cow pasture patrol.
In May the communistSagita
tors had managed to lash their
deluded followers to assaults that
resulted in two murders. They
had sent twenty-seven uniformed
police to hospitals. In July they
expected to increase the list
They had boosted that they would

!! ing the May strike not a shot was
fired by the police. In July, the
order was revoked-instead of

given.

walked with a limp for many
weeks.
During these weeks, thousands
of dollars in damage was done to
private property by the strikers.
AS a result of the clash between
armed "pickets" and armed po-
lice, the governor-instead Of or
dering the militia into the city
to reinforce the regular police,
declared martial law.

GERMANY REBUFFS THE
 PROTESTS OF FRANCE
 AND ITALY ON DISPUTE
(By The Associated Press)

UNDATED, March 21 - Determined to override all opposition in it's march to full re-armament the German government atly declined to consider French and Italian protests against it's abrogaon of the Versailles Treaty military clauses.
 The French and Italian ambassadors, after paying separate visits to the Resch foreign office, told by Hit er that he would pay attention to them This terpreed in official circles further warning that Ger many already feels strongly confident of her military power that the paper protests of her violation of the treaty are useless.
 France meanwhile pronounced Gernanys position as political threat to international peace and asked the Lea que Council to make immediate examination of the Ger situation
 In extraordinary meeting, London regarded Ger manys rejection of the French and Italian protest expected jolt which may cause another crisis
 In foreign quarters in Moscow it is said it is believed that the full support of the Sovets will be given the French in raising the German armament question in the League.
 Germany was informed that Italy cannot accept the situation and determined unilaera decision annulng obligations of international character
 Geneva felt that the League faces the graVest crisis of history. It is believed that meeting will be held early in April.
 Austria took another step toward military prepared ness fighting the strengthening of the laws governing the communicating of private vehicles and civilian skill for military purposes during peace time.

 GREENWOOD, Mississippi, March q - State troops shouldered guns on the north Mississippi levees near here, as an aftermath of wild night in which two dikes were blasted, as private guards and van dals threatened to meet in open bat tie
 The nations major flood threat shifted to TaIlahatchie and Le Fibre counties, after several hundred men had been overpowered by guards on the Tallahatchie River levee which had been blasted with dyna- mite. Vandals then blew another dike near Mace. Private guards were then given riot machine guns and told to shoot to kill in the event of any attacks.

Deportation Faces
 British Deserter

Alaska was the Golden North, :" and the Land of Adventure, Opp ortunity and Plenty" to William Denny Jones when he was sea man aboard the British warship Danae less than year ago.
 Today it is just another country he saw through a porthole.'
 The attraction and lure of Alaska tempted Jones last summer when his ship, cruiser unit of England S West Indies fleet, paid call at Jun eau. He jumped ship, deserted. From then on until last month he lived in the capital city, quietly pur- suing his livlihood as a laborer
 The case came to the attention of local immigration and naturalization headquarters and R F Wyatt, inspect or detailed to immigration, went north to look for him. He was found without difficulty, Wyatt ex- plains largely because of a lime house" accent.
 As a result, Jones was passen- ger on the last southbound trip of the Northwestern, bound for Seat tie where it is expected that his pass age will be arranged back to Eng land as a seaman on some merchant ship. Such arrangements failing he will get free passage as deport- ation case.

 Close Schools

 KANSAS CITY, March 21 -Stifl- ing dust storms shrouded the sd- vent of spring, coming from eastern New Mexico and continuing as far as the Great Lakes, hampering tra- fife on the roads and closing schools
 Clouds of dust obscured the sun and nauseated many beating relent lessly upon all the senses. More than a dozen deaths have been re- ported due to suffocation. Dust in- duces pneumonia. Many traffic ac cidents have occurred although none have resulted fatally.
 A fringe of the dust storm reach ed Chicago today as the dust storm swept into Illinois behind rain and hail which killed chickens and windows.
 Livestock suffered as dust drifts covered fences in southeastern Wyo- ming.
